In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.

 And ^aMelchizedek^• king of ^bSalem brought forth ^cbread^• and wine: ^dand^• he was the ^epriest of the most high God.

 And he blessed him, and said, ^aBlessed be Abram of the most high ^bGod, ^cpossessor^• of heaven and earth:

 And ^ablessed^• be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him ^btithes^• of all.

 And he said, ^aTake^• now thy son, thine ^bonly^• son Isaac, whom thou ^clovest, and get thee into the land of ^dMoriah^•; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.

 ¶ And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the ^awood^• for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.

 Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.

 And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and ^aworship, and come again to you.

 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and ^alaid^• it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together.

 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, ^aHere^• am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?

 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a ^alamb^• for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.

 And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and ^alaid^• the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the ^baltar upon the wood.

 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.

 And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.

 And he said, ^aLay^• not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou ^bfearest^• God, seeing thou hast not ^cwithheld thy son, thine only son from me.

 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.

 And Abraham called the name of that place ^aJehovah^•-jireh: as it is said to this day, ^bIn^• the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.

 ¶ David was thirty years old when he began to ^areign^•, and he ^breigned^• forty years.

 In Hebron he reigned over ^aJudah^• seven years and six months: and in Jerusalem he ^breigned^• thirty and three years over all Israel and Judah.

 ¶ And the king and his men went to Jerusalem unto the ^aJebusites^•, the inhabitants of the land: which spake unto David, saying, Except thou take away the blind and the lame, thou shalt not come in hither: thinking, David cannot come in hither.

 Nevertheless David took the strong hold of ^aZion: the same is the ^bcity^• of David.

 And David said on that day, Whosoever getteth up to the gutter, and smiteth the ^aJebusites^•, and the lame and the blind, that are hated of David’s soul, he shall be chief and captain. Wherefore they said, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house.

 So David dwelt in the fort, and called it the ^acity^• of David. And David built round about from ^bMillo^• and inward.

Solomon builds the temple—The Lord promises to dwell among Israel if they are obedient—Ornaments of the temple are described.

 For it came to pass in the commencement of the ^afirst^• year of the reign of ^bZedekiah^•, king of Judah, (my father, Lehi, having dwelt at ^cJerusalem^• in all his days); and in that same year there came many ^dprophets^•, prophesying unto the people that they must ^erepent, or the great city ^fJerusalem^• must be destroyed.

Jesus rides in triumph into Jerusalem—He cleanses the temple, curses the fig tree, and discusses authority—He gives the parables of the two sons, and the wicked husbandmen.

 And Jesus said unto them: See ye not all these things, and do ye not understand them? Verily I say unto you, there shall not be left here, upon this temple, one ^astone^• upon another that shall not be thrown down.

 And Jesus left them, and went upon the Mount of Olives. And as he sat upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying: Tell us when shall these things be which thou hast said concerning the destruction of the temple, and the Jews; and what is the ^asign^• of thy ^bcoming, and of the ^cend of the world, or the destruction of the ^dwicked^•, which is the end of the world?

 And Jesus answered, and said unto them: Take heed that no man deceive you;

 For many shall come in my name, saying—I am ^aChrist^•—and shall deceive many;

 Then shall they deliver you up to be ^aafflicted^•, and shall kill you, and ye shall be ^bhated of all nations, for my name’s sake;

 And then shall many be ^aoffended^•, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another;

 And many ^afalse prophets shall arise, and shall deceive many;

 And because iniquity shall abound, the ^alove^• of many shall wax cold;

 But he that remaineth ^asteadfast^• and is not overcome, the same shall be saved.

 When you, therefore, shall see the ^aabomination^• of ^bdesolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, concerning the destruction of ^cJerusalem, then you shall stand in the ^dholy^• place; whoso readeth let him understand.

 Then let them who are in Judea flee into the ^amountains^•;

 Let him who is on the housetop flee, and not return to take anything out of his house;

 Neither let him who is in the field return back to take his clothes;

 And wo unto them that are with ^achild^•, and unto them that give suck in those days;

 Therefore, pray ye the Lord that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the Sabbath day;

 For then, in those days, shall be great ^atribulation^• on the ^bJews, and upon the inhabitants of ^cJerusalem^•, such as was not before sent upon Israel, of God, since the beginning of their kingdom until this time; no, nor ever shall be sent again upon Israel.

 All things which have befallen them are only the beginning of the sorrows which shall come upon them.

 And except those days should be shortened, there should none of their flesh be ^asaved^•; but for the elect’s sake, according to the ^bcovenant^•, those days shall be shortened.

The battle of Gog and Magog against Israel shall usher in the Second Coming—The Lord will come amid war and pestilence, and all men shall shake at his presence.

War and desolation precede the Second Coming—The sun and the moon shall be darkened—The Lord will pour out his Spirit upon all flesh—There will be dreams and visions.

In the last days two prophets shall be slain in Jerusalem—After three and one-half days they shall be resurrected—Christ shall reign over all the earth.

In the final great war, all nations shall be engaged at Jerusalem but the Lord shall defend his people—Then the Jews shall look upon Jesus whom they crucified, and there shall be great mourning.

 And then shall the Lord set his foot upon this ^amount^•, and it shall cleave in twain, and the earth shall ^btremble^•, and reel to and fro, and the ^cheavens also ^dshall^• shake.

 And the Lord shall utter his voice, and all the ends of the earth shall hear it; and the nations of the earth shall ^amourn^•, and they that have ^blaughed shall see their ^cfolly^•.

 And calamity shall cover the ^amocker, and the scorner shall be consumed; and they that have watched for iniquity shall be hewn down and ^bcast^• into the ^cfire.

 And then shall the ^aJews ^blook^• upon me and say: What are these ^cwounds in thine hands and in thy feet?

 Then shall they know that I am the Lord; for I will say unto them: These wounds are the wounds with which I was ^awounded^• in the house of my friends. I am he who was lifted up. I am Jesus that was ^bcrucified. I am the ^cSon^• of God.

 And then shall they ^aweep^• because of their iniquities; then shall they ^blament^• because they ^cpersecuted their ^dking^•.
