AND in those days it shall come to pass, that the nations of Europe will be moved to war, and that mighty men and princes will unite from all corners of the earth to maintain their power, and that they will gather from all quarters thousands and tens of thousands to fight their battles, and establish their dominions over multitudes and nations; but their arms shall avail them nought: in their union they shall find destruction, and their mighty hosts shall be scattered like chaff before the wind; pestilence and famine shall overtake those who escape from the sword, and few shall live to bring home the news of their mishap▪ and defeats. The stars of nations shall then fall, and desolation shall reign among the great and proud of the earth; for their ways are the ways of ungodliness, and their paths are those of injustice and oppression. In those days (and they are at hand) the mighty Lord of truth shall avenge the injuries of his people, and his name shall be known throughout. The reign of his justice shall succeed that of his mercy, and long forbearance; his mighty arm shall exalt the humble, and prostrate the proud. It shall also come to pass in those days, that the blood of Africans shall be repaid, and slavery shall be no more; the beams of truth all strike on the eyes of all nations, and ⟨p. 38⟩Evangelical love shall pervade all hearts, equal rights shall be the foundation of continua• peace; and the glory of all people shall be to know the Lord of armies, and obey his eternal laws.
