In that day that he shall suffer death the sun
shall be darkened and refuse to give his light unto you;
and also the moon and the stars;
and there shall be no light upon the face of this land,
even from the time that he shall suffer death,
for the space of three days, to the time that
he shall rise again from the dead.
there shall be thunderings and lightnings
for the space of many hours,
and the earth shall shake and tremble;
and the rocks which are upon the face of this earth,
which are both above the earth and beneath,
which ye know at this time are solid,
or the more part of it is one solid mass, shall be broken up;
in seams and in cracks, and in broken fragments
upon the face of the whole earth,
yea, both above the earth and beneath.
and there shall be many mountains laid low, like unto a valley,
and there shall be many places which are now called valleys
which shall become mountains, whose height is great.
and many cities shall become desolate.
and shall yield up many of their dead;
and many saints shall appear unto many.
for he said unto me that there should be thunderings
and lightnings for the space of many hours.
and the lightning lasted, and the tempest,
that these things should be,
and that darkness should cover
the face of the whole earth for the space of three days.
And the angel said unto me that many shall
see greater things than these, to the intent that they might believe
that these signs and these wonders should come to pass
upon all the face of this land, to the intent that
there should be no cause for unbelief among the children of men—
and that whosoever will not believe,
a righteous judgment might come upon them;
and also if they are condemned
they bring upon themselves their own condemnation.
