And he said unto me, Awake; and I awoke, and behold, he stood before me. And he said unto me, Awake, and hear the words which I shall tell thee: for behold, lam come to declare unto you the glad tidings of great joy. For the Lord hath heard thy prayers, and hath judged of thy righteousness, and hath sent me to declare unto thee that thou mayest rejoice; and that thou mayest declare unto thy people, that they may also be filled with joy. For behold, the tim cometh, and is not far distant, that with power, the Lord Om: nipotent who reigneth, which was, and is from all eternity (0 all eternity, shall come down from Heaven, among the clil- dren of men, and shall dwell ina tabernacle of clay, and shal go forth amongst men, working mighty miracles, such as he ling the sick, raising the dead, causing the lame to walk, the blind to receive their sight, and the deaf to hear, and curing all manner of diseases; and he shall cast out Devils, or the evil spirits which dwelleth in the hearts of the children of mcr lo, he shall suffer temptations, and pain of body, hunget; hirst, and fatigue, even more than man can suffer, except lt e unto death: for behold, blood cometh from every pore, ° great shall be his anguish for the wickedness and the aboml nations of his people.
