2g a city reserved until a day of righteousness shall come:
2h a day which was sought for by all holy men, and they found it not, because of wickedness and abominations, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth, but obtained a promise that they should find it, and see it in their flesh.
2i Wherefore hearken, and I will reason with you, and I will speak unto you and prophesy, as unto men in days of old;
2j and I will show it plainly, as I showed it unto my disciples, as I stood before them in the flesh, and spake unto them, saying,
2k As ye have asked of me concerning the signs of my coming, in the day when I shall come in my glory in the clouds of heaven, to fulfill the promises that I have made unto your fathers;
2l for as ye have looked upon the long absence of your spirits from your bodies to be a bondage, I will show unto you how the day of redemption shall come, and also the restoration of the scattered Israel.
3a And now ye behold this temple which is in Jerusalem, which ye call the house of God, and your enemies say that this house shall never fall.
3b But verily I say unto you that desolation shall come upon this generation as a thief in the night, and this people shall be destroyed and scattered among all nations.
3c And this temple which ye now see shall be thrown down, that there shall not be left one stone upon another.
3d And it shall come to pass that this generation of Jews shall not pass away until every desolation which I have told you concerning them shall come to pass.
3e Ye say that ye know that the end of the world cometh; ye say, also, that ye know that the heavens and the earth shall pass away; and in this ye say truly, for so it is; but these things which I have told you shall not pass away until all shall be fulfilled.
