1And He answered and said unto me: 'Into twelve parts is that time divided, and each one of them is reserved for that which is appointed for it.
2In the first part there shall be the beginning of commotions.
3And in the second part (there will be) slayings of the great ones.
4And in the third part (there will be) the fall of many by death.
5And in the fourth part the sending of desolation.
6And in the fifth part famine and the withholding of rain.
7And in the sixth part earthquakes and terrors.
8[Wanting]
9And in the ninth part the fall of fire.
10And in the tenth part rapine and much oppression.
11And in the eleventh part wickedness and unchastity.
12And in the twelfth part confusion from the mingling together of all those things aforesaid.
13For these parts of that time are reserved, and shall be mingled one with another and minister one to another.
14For some will of themselves be of service, and they will receive from others, and from themselves and others they will be perfected, so that those may not understand who are upon the earth in those days of this consummation of the times.
