The Power of Children in the Last Times

speaks: "Tremble, all inhabitants of the land, for the day of the Lord is coming and is near; a dark day, a gloomy day, a cloudy day, a misty day, just as the morning dawn spreads over the mountains; namely, a great and mighty people, the like of which has never been before and shall not be hereafter for eternal times, forever and ever. etc. Before him the land trembles, and the heavens shake; the sun and moon become dark, and the stars withhold their shine. For the Lord shall let his thunder go before his army, for his army is very large and powerful, which shall execute his command. For the day of the Lord is great and very terrible; who can endure it?"

v. 10. 11. This is the day described in the sixth seal of Revelation VI original: "Apoc. VI", and repeated in the 19th chapter of the same holy book. Other prophets, such as Isaiah in chapters 13, 34, and 63, and Jeremiah in chapter 30, as well as Ezekiel in chapter 39 and Zephaniah, have also prophesied of it. This is recognizable enough to anyone who has received eyes to see from God, through a comparison [of these texts]. But since, after the sixth seal in the Holy Revelation, an entire seventh seal—which lasts only for a half-hour of heavenly silence and thus cannot be the inexpressible and infinite eternity—is yet to be broken and lasts for a specific series of time, it is clear that the preceding sixth seal, wherein the great and

Whereupon follows the "Sabbath rest remaining for the people of God" original Latin: "sabbatismus populo DEI relictus", or the peace which is at hand for the holy people of God in the sanctified silence of the seventh seal. In this [period], the Holy Spirit shall be poured out upon the House of Israel—indeed, upon all flesh—in an exceedingly greater measure than he has ever been poured out until now, of which Joel speaks in his same second chapter, verse 28, thus: "After this" after this Hebrew: אחרי כן (acharei ken) "namely, when the terrible judgments of God over the Antichristian nations (who would no longer allow themselves to be rebuked by the Spirit of God) are past and fulfilled, I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and daughters shall prophesy, your elders shall have dreams, and your young men shall see visions. Also at that same time, I will pour out my Spirit upon both male and female servants, and I will give wonders in heaven and on earth: namely, blood, fire, and smoke-vapor.
