Before the consummation of the age, the whole place will be shaken by great thunder. Then the rulers will lament, crying out on account of their death. The Angels will mourn for their human beings, and the demons will weep for their times and seasons, and the people will mourn and cry out on account of their death. Then the age will begin, and they will be disturbed. They Kings will be drunk in the flaming sword and will make war against one another, so that the earth will be drunk from the blood that is poured out. And the seas will be troubled by that war. Then the sun will darken and the moon will lose its light. The stars of the heavens will disregard the of course, and great thunder will come out of great power that is above all the powers of chaos, the place where the firmament of the woman is situated. When she has created the first work, she will take off her wise flame of afterthought and will put on irrational wrath. Then she will drive out the gods of chaos, whom she had created together with the chief creator. She will cast them down to the abyss. They will be wiped out by their own injustice. For they will become like the mountains that plays out fire, and they will consume one another until they are destroyed by the chief creator. When he destroys them, he will turn against himself and destroy himself until he ceases to be. And there heavens will fall upon one another and their powers will burn. There realm will also be overthrown. And the chief creator’s heaven will fall and split in two. Likewise, his stars in the sphere will fall down to the earth, and the earth will not be able to support them. They were fall down to the abyss, and the abyss will be overthrown.
