And the God of our fathers,
who were led out of Egypt,
out of bondage, and also were
preserved in the wilderness by him,
yea, the God of Abraham, and of Isaac,
and the God of Jacob,
yieldeth himself, according to the words of the angel,
as a man, into the hands of wicked men,
to be lifted up, according to the words of Zenock,
and to be crucified, according to the words of Neum,
and to be buried in a sepulchre,
according to the words of Zenos,
which he spake concerning the three days of darkness,
which should be a sign given of his death
unto those who should inhabit the isles of the sea,
more especially given unto those
who are of the house of Israel.
For thus spake the prophet: The Lord God surely
shall visit all the house of Israel at that day,
some with his voice, because of their righteousness,
unto their great joy and salvation,
and others with the thunderings and the lightnings of his power,
by tempest, by fire, and by smoke, and vapor of darkness,
and by the opening of the earth,
and by mountains which shall be carried up.
And all these things must surely come, saith the prophet Zenos.
And the rocks of the earth must rend;
and because of the groanings of the earth,
many of the kings of the isles of the sea
shall be wrought upon by the Spirit of God,
to exclaim: The God of nature suffers.
