Prophets, Seers of YAHWEH tell me what the end time signs will be. Stunning signs in heaven you’ll see perils pervading land and sea. Stars of heaven like leaves falling prophets false for worship calling famines, plagues, the nations galling strife, commotion, mankind bawling. Earthquakes, wars in divers places People, awake, turn your faces to the one who made the races and bestows his saving graces. When you see the signs in heaven stars like leaves from heaven falling. People, awake, turn your faces to the one who made the races.
