Chapter 2<\/h4>

1<\/small><\/span> It happened, when Yahweh would take up Elijah by a whirlwind into heaven, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.<\/p>

2<\/small><\/span> Elijah said to Elisha, Please wait here, for Yahweh has sent me as far as Bethel. Elisha said, As Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you. So they went down to Bethel.<\/p>

3<\/small><\/span> The sons of the prophets who were at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and said to him, \"Do you know that Yahweh will take away your master from your head today?\" He said, \"Yes, I know it; hold your peace.\"<\/p>

4<\/small><\/span> Elijah said to him, Elisha, please wait here, for Yahweh has sent me to Jericho. He said, As Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you. So they came to Jericho.<\/p>

5<\/small><\/span> The sons of the prophets who were at Jericho came near to Elisha, and said to him, \"Do you know that Yahweh will take away your master from your head today?\" He answered, \"Yes, I know it. Hold your peace.\"<\/p>

6<\/small><\/span> Elijah said to him, \"Please wait here, for Yahweh has sent me to the Jordan.\" He said, \"As Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you.\" They two went on.<\/p>

7<\/small><\/span> Fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood over against them afar off: and they two stood by the Jordan.<\/p>

8<\/small><\/span> Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and struck the waters, and they were divided here and there, so that they two went over on dry ground.<\/p>

9<\/small><\/span> It happened, when they had gone over, that Elijah said to Elisha, Ask what I shall do for you, before I am taken from you. Elisha said, please let a double portion of your spirit be on me.<\/p>

10<\/small><\/span> He said, You have asked a hard thing: [nevertheless], if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so to you; but if not, it shall not be so.<\/p>

11<\/small><\/span> It happened, as they still went on, and talked, that behold, [there appeared] a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, which parted them both apart; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.<\/p>

12<\/small><\/span> Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and the horsemen of it! He saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and tore them in two pieces.<\/p>

13<\/small><\/span> He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of the Jordan.<\/p>

14<\/small><\/span> He took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and struck the waters, and said, Where is Yahweh, the God of Elijah? and when he also had struck the waters, they were divided here and there; and Elisha went over.<\/p><\/div>\n

#9: A Shipwrecking Northeaster<\/strong><\/p>\n

Acts 27:1-44<\/p>\n

Chapter 27<\/h4>

1<\/small><\/span> When it was determined that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan band.<\/p>

2<\/small><\/span> Embarking in a ship of Adramyttium, which was about to sail to places on the coast of Asia, we put to sea, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.<\/p>

3<\/small><\/span> The next day, we touched at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.<\/p>

4<\/small><\/span> Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.<\/p>

5<\/small><\/span> When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.<\/p>

6<\/small><\/span> There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.<\/p>

7<\/small><\/span> When we had sailed slowly many days, and had come with difficulty opposite Cnidus, the wind not allowing us further, we sailed under the lee of Crete, opposite Salmone.<\/p>

8<\/small><\/span> With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.<\/p>

9<\/small><\/span> When much time was spent, and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them,<\/p>

10<\/small><\/span> and said to them, \"Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.\"<\/p>

11<\/small><\/span> But the centurion gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship than to those things which were spoken by Paul.<\/p>

12<\/small><\/span> Because the haven was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised to put to sea from there, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, and winter there, which is a port of Crete, looking northeast and southeast.<\/p>

13<\/small><\/span> When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.<\/p>

14<\/small><\/span> But after no long time there beat down from it a tempestuous wind, which is called Euroclydon.<\/p>

15<\/small><\/span> When the ship was caught, and couldn't face the wind, we gave way to it, and were driven along.<\/p>

16<\/small><\/span> Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.<\/p>

17<\/small><\/span> When they had hoisted it up, they used cables to help reinforce the ship. Fearing that they would run aground on the Syrtis sand bars, they lowered the sea anchor, and so were driven.<\/p>

18<\/small><\/span> As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.<\/p>

19<\/small><\/span> On the third day, they threw out the ship's tackle with their own hands.<\/p>

20<\/small><\/span> When neither sun nor stars shone on us for many days, and no small tempest pressed on us, all hope that we should be saved was now taken away.<\/p>

21<\/small><\/span> When they had been long without food, Paul stood up in the midst of them, and said, \"Sirs, you should have listened to me, and not have set sail from Crete, and have gotten this injury and loss.<\/p>

22<\/small><\/span> Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.<\/p>

23<\/small><\/span> For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,<\/p>

24<\/small><\/span> saying, 'Don't be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. Behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.'<\/p>

25<\/small><\/span> Therefore, sirs, cheer up! For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.<\/p>

26<\/small><\/span> But we must run aground on a certain island.\"<\/p>

27<\/small><\/span> But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven back and forth in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors surmised that they were drawing near to some land.<\/p>

28<\/small><\/span> They took soundings, and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.<\/p>

29<\/small><\/span> Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.<\/p>

30<\/small><\/span> As the sailors were trying to flee out of the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, pretending that they would lay out anchors from the bow,<\/p>

31<\/small><\/span> Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, \"Unless these stay in the ship, you can't be saved.\"<\/p>

32<\/small><\/span> Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.<\/p>

33<\/small><\/span> While the day was coming on, Paul begged them all to take some food, saying, \"This day is the fourteenth day that you wait and continue fasting, having taken nothing.<\/p>

34<\/small><\/span> Therefore I beg you to take some food, for this is for your safety; for there will not a hair perish from the head of any of you.\"<\/p>

35<\/small><\/span> When he had said this, and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all, and he broke it, and began to eat.<\/p>

36<\/small><\/span> Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took food.<\/p>

37<\/small><\/span> We were in all in the ship two hundred seventy-six souls.<\/p>

38<\/small><\/span> When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.<\/p>

39<\/small><\/span> When it was day, they didn't recognize the land, but they noticed a certain bay with a beach, and they decided to try to drive the ship onto it.<\/p>

40<\/small><\/span> Casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time untying the rudder ropes. Hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.<\/p>

41<\/small><\/span> But coming to a place where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground. The bow struck and remained immovable, but the stern began to break up by the violence of the waves.<\/p>

42<\/small><\/span> The soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.<\/p>

43<\/small><\/span> But the centurion, desiring to save Paul, stopped them from their purpose, and commanded that those who could swim should throw themselves overboard first to go to the land;<\/p>

44<\/small><\/span> and the rest, some on planks, and some on other things from the ship. So it happened that they all escaped safely to the land.<\/p><\/div>\n

James 5:13-18<\/p>\n

Chapter 5<\/h4>

13<\/small><\/span> Is anyone among you suffering? Then he must pray. Is anyone cheerful? He is to sing praises.<\/p>

14<\/small><\/span> Is anyone among you sick? Then he must call for the elders of the church and they are to pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord;<\/p>

15<\/small><\/span> and the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he has committed sins, they will be forgiven him.<\/p>

16<\/small><\/span> Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.<\/p>

17<\/small><\/span> Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months.<\/p>

18<\/small><\/span> Then he prayed again, and the sky poured rain and the earth produced its fruit.<\/p><\/div>\n

#7: Rock Shattering Winds, An Earthquake, Fire And Whisper<\/strong><\/p>\n

1 Kings 19:1-18<\/p>\n

Chapter 19<\/h4>

1<\/small><\/span> Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.<\/p>

2<\/small><\/span> Then Jezebel send a messenger to Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I don't make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.<\/p>

3<\/small><\/span> When he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there.<\/p>

4<\/small><\/span> But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper-tree: and he requested for himself that he might die, and said, It is enough; now, O Yahweh, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.<\/p>

5<\/small><\/span> He lay down and slept under a juniper-tree; and, behold, an angel touched him, and said to him, Arise and eat.<\/p>

6<\/small><\/span> He looked, and, behold, there was at his head a cake baked on the coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drink, and laid him down again.<\/p>

7<\/small><\/span> The angel of Yahweh came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for you.<\/p>

8<\/small><\/span> He arose, and ate and drink, and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb the Mount of God.<\/p>

9<\/small><\/span> He came there to a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of Yahweh came to him, and he said to him, What do you here, Elijah?<\/p>

10<\/small><\/span> He said, I have been very jealous for Yahweh, the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and slain your prophets with the sword: and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.<\/p>

11<\/small><\/span> He said, Go forth, and stand on the mountain before Yahweh. Behold, Yahweh passed by, and a great and strong wind tore the mountains, and broke in pieces the rocks before Yahweh; but Yahweh was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but Yahweh was not in the earthquake:<\/p>

12<\/small><\/span> and after the earthquake a fire; but Yahweh was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.<\/p>

13<\/small><\/span> It was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave. Behold, there came a voice to him, and said, What do you here, Elijah?<\/p>

14<\/small><\/span> He said, I have been very jealous for Yahweh, the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and slain your prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.<\/p>

15<\/small><\/span> Yahweh said to him, Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when you come, you shall anoint Hazael to be king over Syria;<\/p>

16<\/small><\/span> and Jehu the son of Nimshi shall you anoint to be king over Israel; and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah shall you anoint to be prophet in your room.<\/p>

17<\/small><\/span> It shall happen, that he who escapes from the sword of Hazael shall Jehu kill; and he who escapes from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha kill.<\/p>

18<\/small><\/span> Yet will I leave [me] seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth which has not kissed him.<\/p><\/div>\n

#6: Fire Falls From The Sky<\/strong><\/p>\n

1 Kings 18:16-46<\/p>\n

Chapter 18<\/h4>

16<\/small><\/span> So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him; and Ahab went to meet Elijah.<\/p>

17<\/small><\/span> It happened, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said to him, Is it you, you troubler of Israel?<\/p>

18<\/small><\/span> He answered, I have not troubled Israel; but you, and your father's house, in that you have forsaken the commandments of Yahweh, and you have followed the Baals.<\/p>

19<\/small><\/span> Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel to Mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred fifty, and the prophets of the Asherah four hundred, who eat at Jezebel's table.<\/p>

20<\/small><\/span> So Ahab sent to all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together to Mount Carmel.<\/p>

21<\/small><\/span> Elijah came near to all the people, and said, How long go you limping between the two sides? if Yahweh be God, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him. The people answered him not a word.<\/p>

22<\/small><\/span> Then said Elijah to the people, I, even I only, am left a prophet of Yahweh; but Baal's prophets are four hundred fifty men.<\/p>

23<\/small><\/span> Let them therefore give us two bulls; and let them choose one bull for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire under; and I will dress the other bull, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire under.<\/p>

24<\/small><\/span> Call you on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of Yahweh; and the God who answers by fire, let him be God. All the people answered, It is well spoken.<\/p>

25<\/small><\/span> Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, Choose you one bull for yourselves, and dress it first; for you are many; and call on the name of your god, but put no fire under.<\/p>

26<\/small><\/span> They took the bull which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any who answered. They leaped about the altar which was made.<\/p>

27<\/small><\/span> It happened at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud; for he is a god: either he is musing, or he is gone aside, or he is on a journey, or peradventure he sleeps and must be awakened.<\/p>

28<\/small><\/span> They cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lances, until the blood gushed out on them.<\/p>

29<\/small><\/span> It was so, when midday was past, that they prophesied until the time of the offering of the [evening] offering; but there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any who regarded.<\/p>

30<\/small><\/span> Elijah said to all the people, Come near to me; and all the people came near to him. He repaired the altar of Yahweh that was thrown down.<\/p>

31<\/small><\/span> Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of Yahweh came, saying, Israel shall be your name.<\/p>

32<\/small><\/span> With the stones he built an altar in the name of Yahweh; and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed.<\/p>

33<\/small><\/span> He put the wood in order, and cut the bull in pieces, and laid it on the wood. He said, Fill four jars with water, and pour it on the burnt offering, and on the wood.<\/p>

34<\/small><\/span> He said, Do it the second time; and they did it the second time. He said, Do it the third time; and they did it the third time.<\/p>

35<\/small><\/span> The water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water.<\/p>

36<\/small><\/span> It happened at the time of the offering of the [evening] offering, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, Yahweh, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that you are God in Israel, and that I am your servant, and that I have done all these things at your word.<\/p>

37<\/small><\/span> Hear me, Yahweh, hear me, that this people may know that you, Yahweh, are God, and [that] you have turned their heart back again.<\/p>

38<\/small><\/span> Then the fire of Yahweh fell, and consumed the burnt offering, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.<\/p>

39<\/small><\/span> When all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, Yahweh, he is God; Yahweh, he is God.<\/p>

40<\/small><\/span> and Elijah said to them, Take the prophets of Baal; don't let one of them escape. They took them; and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and killed them there.<\/p>

41<\/small><\/span> Elijah said to Ahab, Get you up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of abundance of rain.<\/p>

42<\/small><\/span> So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he bowed himself down on the earth, and put his face between his knees.<\/p>

43<\/small><\/span> He said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. He went up, and looked, and said, There is nothing. He said, Go again seven times.<\/p>

44<\/small><\/span> It happened at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there arises a cloud out of the sea, as small as a man's hand. He said, Go up, tell Ahab, Make ready [your chariot], and get you down, that the rain not stop you.<\/p>

45<\/small><\/span> It happened in a little while, that the sky grew black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel:<\/p>

46<\/small><\/span> and the hand of Yahweh was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.<\/p><\/div>\n

Chapter 20<\/h4>

1<\/small><\/span> In those days was Hezekiah sick to death. Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, Thus says Yahweh, Set your house in order: for you shall die, and not live.<\/p>

2<\/small><\/span> Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed to Yahweh, saying,<\/p>

3<\/small><\/span> Remember now, Yahweh, I beg you, how I have walked before you in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in your sight. Hezekiah wept sore.<\/p>

4<\/small><\/span> It happened, before Isaiah was gone out into the middle part of the city, that the word of Yahweh came to him, saying,<\/p>

5<\/small><\/span> Turn back, and tell Hezekiah the prince of my people, Thus says Yahweh, the God of David your father, I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears: behold, I will heal you; on the third day you shall go up to the house of Yahweh.<\/p>

6<\/small><\/span> I will add to your days fifteen years; and I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for my own sake, and for my servant David's sake.<\/p>

7<\/small><\/span> Isaiah said, Take a cake of figs. They took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered.<\/p>

8<\/small><\/span> Hezekiah said to Isaiah, What shall be the sign that Yahweh will heal me, and that I shall go up to the house of Yahweh the third day?<\/p>

9<\/small><\/span> Isaiah said, This shall be the sign to you from Yahweh, that Yahweh will do the thing that he has spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten steps, or go back ten steps?<\/p>

10<\/small><\/span> Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to decline ten steps: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten steps.<\/p>

11<\/small><\/span> Isaiah the prophet cried to Yahweh; and he brought the shadow ten steps backward, by which it had gone down on the dial of Ahaz.<\/p><\/div>\n

Joshua 10:1-15<\/p>\n

Chapter 10<\/h4>

1<\/small><\/span> Now it happened, when Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them;<\/p>

2<\/small><\/span> that they feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all the men of it were mighty.<\/p>

3<\/small><\/span> Therefore Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem sent to Hoham king of Hebron, and to Piram king of Jarmuth, and to Japhia king of Lachish, and to Debir king of Eglon, saying,<\/p>

4<\/small><\/span> Come up to me, and help me, and let us strike Gibeon; for it has made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.<\/p>

5<\/small><\/span> Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped against Gibeon, and made war against it.<\/p>

6<\/small><\/span> The men of Gibeon sent to Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, Don't slack your hand from your servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the hill-country are gathered together against us.<\/p>

7<\/small><\/span> So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valor.<\/p>

8<\/small><\/span> Yahweh said to Joshua, Don't fear them: for I have delivered them into your hands; there shall not a man of them stand before you.<\/p>

9<\/small><\/span> Joshua therefore came on them suddenly; [for] he went up from Gilgal all the night.<\/p>

10<\/small><\/span> Yahweh confused them before Israel, and he killed them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them by the way of the ascent of Beth-horon, and struck them to Azekah, and to Makkedah.<\/p>

11<\/small><\/span> It happened, as they fled from before Israel, while they were at the descent of Beth-horon, that Yahweh cast down great stones from the sky on them to Azekah, and they died: they were more who died with the hailstones than they whom the children of Israel killed with the sword.<\/p>

12<\/small><\/span> Then spoke Joshua to Yahweh in the day when Yahweh delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel; and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand you still on Gibeon; You, Moon, in the valley of Aijalon.<\/p>

13<\/small><\/span> The sun stood still, and the moon stayed, Until the nation had avenged themselves of their enemies. Isn't this written in the book of Jashar? The sun stayed in the midst of the sky, and didn't hurry to go down about a whole day.<\/p>

14<\/small><\/span> There was no day like that before it or after it, that Yahweh listened to the voice of a man: for Yahweh fought for Israel.<\/p>

15<\/small><\/span> Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp to Gilgal.<\/p><\/div>\n

45<\/small><\/span> Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphenath-paneah; and he gave him Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On as a wife. Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.<\/p>

46<\/small><\/span> Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.<\/p>

47<\/small><\/span> In the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls.<\/p>

48<\/small><\/span> He gathered up all the food of the seven years which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which was round about every city, he laid up in the same.<\/p>

49<\/small><\/span> Joseph laid up grain as the sand of the sea, very much, until he stopped counting, for it was without number.<\/p>

50<\/small><\/span> To Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore to him.<\/p>

51<\/small><\/span> Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh, \"For,\" he said, \"God has made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house.\"<\/p>

52<\/small><\/span> The name of the second, he called Ephraim: \"For God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.\"<\/p>

53<\/small><\/span> The seven years of plenty, that was in the land of Egypt, came to an end.<\/p>

54<\/small><\/span> The seven years of famine began to come, just as Joseph had said. There was famine in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.<\/p>

55<\/small><\/span> When all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread, and Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, \"Go to Joseph. What he says to you, do.\"<\/p>

56<\/small><\/span> The famine was over all the surface of the earth. Joseph opened all the store-houses, and sold to the Egyptians. The famine was severe in the land of Egypt.<\/p>

57<\/small><\/span> All countries came into Egypt, to Joseph, to buy grain, because the famine was severe in all the earth.<\/p><\/div>\n

#4: The Plague Of Hail<\/strong><\/p>\n

Acts 4:23-31<\/p>\n

Chapter 4<\/h4>

23<\/small><\/span> Being let go, they came to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them.<\/p>

24<\/small><\/span> They, when they heard it, lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, \"O Lord, you are God, who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them;<\/p>

25<\/small><\/span> who by the mouth of your servant, David, said, 'Why do the nations rage, And the peoples plot a vain thing?<\/p>

26<\/small><\/span> The kings of the earth take a stand, And the rulers take council together, Against the Lord, and against his Christ.'<\/p>

27<\/small><\/span> For truly, in this city against your holy servant, Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together<\/p>

28<\/small><\/span> to do whatever your hand and your council foreordained to happen.<\/p>

29<\/small><\/span> Now, Lord, look at their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness,<\/p>

30<\/small><\/span> while you stretch forth your hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy Servant Jesus.\"<\/p>

31<\/small><\/span> When they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were gathered together. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.<\/p><\/div>\n

#3: Rock-Splitting Earthquakes And Dead Men Walking<\/strong><\/p>\n

Matthew 27:45-54<\/p>\n

Chapter 27<\/h4>

45<\/small><\/span> Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.<\/p>

46<\/small><\/span> About the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, \"Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?\" That is, \"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?\"<\/p>

47<\/small><\/span> Some of them who stood there, when they heard it, said, \"This man calls Elijah.\"<\/p>

48<\/small><\/span> Immediately one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him a drink.<\/p>

49<\/small><\/span> The rest said, \"Let him be. Let's see whether Elijah comes to save him.\"<\/p>

50<\/small><\/span> Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.<\/p>

51<\/small><\/span> Behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split.<\/p>

52<\/small><\/span> The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;<\/p>

53<\/small><\/span> and coming forth out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.<\/p>

54<\/small><\/span> Now the centurion, and those who were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake, and the things that were done, feared exceedingly, saying, \"Truly this was the Son of God.\"<\/p><\/div>\n

#2: The Flood<\/strong><\/p>\n

Genesis 7:1-24<\/p>\n

Chapter 7<\/h4>

1<\/small><\/span> Yahweh said to Noah, \"Come with all of your household into the ark, for I have seen your righteousness before me in this generation.<\/p>

2<\/small><\/span> You shall take seven pairs of every clean animal with you, the male and his female. Of the animals that are not clean, take two, the male and his female.<\/p>

3<\/small><\/span> Also of the birds of the sky, seven and seven, male and female, to keep seed alive on the surface of all the earth.<\/p>

4<\/small><\/span> In seven days, I will cause it to rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights. Every living thing that I have made, I will destroy from the surface of the ground.\"<\/p>

5<\/small><\/span> Noah did everything that Yahweh commanded him.<\/p>

6<\/small><\/span> Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came on the earth.<\/p>

7<\/small><\/span> Noah went into the ark with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives, because of the waters of the flood.<\/p>

8<\/small><\/span> Clean animals, animals that are not clean, birds, and everything that creeps on the ground<\/p>

9<\/small><\/span> went by pairs to Noah into the ark, male and female, as God commanded Noah.<\/p>

10<\/small><\/span> It happened after the seven days, that the waters of the flood came on the earth.<\/p>

11<\/small><\/span> In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day all the fountains of the great deep were burst open, and the sky's windows were opened.<\/p>

12<\/small><\/span> The rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights.<\/p>

13<\/small><\/span> In the same day Noah, and Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, entered into the ark;<\/p>

14<\/small><\/span> they, and every animal after its kind, all the cattle after their kind, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort.<\/p>

15<\/small><\/span> They went to Noah into the ark, by pairs of all flesh with the breath of life in them.<\/p>

16<\/small><\/span> Those who went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him; and Yahweh shut him in.<\/p>

17<\/small><\/span> The flood was forty days on the earth. The waters increased, and lifted up the ark, and it was lifted up above the earth.<\/p>

18<\/small><\/span> The waters prevailed, and increased greatly on the earth; and the ark floated on the surface of the waters.<\/p>

19<\/small><\/span> The waters prevailed exceedingly on the earth. All the high mountains that were under the whole sky were covered.<\/p>

20<\/small><\/span> The waters prevailed fifteen cubits upward, and the mountains were covered.<\/p>

21<\/small><\/span> All flesh died that moved on the earth, including birds, cattle, animals, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, and every man.<\/p>

22<\/small><\/span> All in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, of all that was on the dry land, died.<\/p>

23<\/small><\/span> Every living thing was destroyed that was on the surface of the ground, including man, cattle, creeping things, and birds of the sky. They were destroyed from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ark.<\/p>

24<\/small><\/span> The waters prevailed on the earth one hundred fifty days.<\/p><\/div>\n

#1: The End Times<\/strong><\/p>\n

Revelation 6:12-17<\/p>\n

Chapter 6<\/h4>

12<\/small><\/span> I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake. The sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became as blood.<\/p>

13<\/small><\/span> The stars of the sky fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its unripe figs when it is shaken by a great wind.<\/p>

14<\/small><\/span> The sky was removed as a scroll when it is rolled up. Every mountain and island were moved out of their places.<\/p>

15<\/small><\/span> The kings of the earth, the princes, the commanding officers, the rich, the strong, and every slave and freeman, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains.<\/p>

16<\/small><\/span> They told the mountains and the rocks, \"Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb,<\/p>

17<\/small><\/span> for the great day of his wrath has come; and who is able to stand?\"<\/p><\/div>\n
