The Second Coming of Christ and Resurrection of the Dead (which Christ revealed unto Peter) who died because of their sins, for that they kept not the commandment of God their creator.

2And he (Peter) pondered thereon, that he might perceive the mystery of the Son of God, the merciful and lover of mercy.

3And when the Lord was seated upon the Mount of Olives, his disciples came unto him.

4And we besought and entreated him severally and prayed him, saying unto him: Declare unto us what are the signs of thy coming and of the end of the world, that we may perceive and mark the time of thy coming and instruct them that come after us, unto whom we preach the word of thy gospel, and whom we set over (in) thy church, that they when they hear it may take heed to themselves and mark the time of thy coming.

5And our Lord answered us, saying: Take heed that no man deceive you, and that ye be not doubters and serve other gods.

6Many shall come in my name, saying: I am the Christ.

7Believe them not, neither draw near unto them.

8For the coming of the Son of God shall not be plain (i.e. foreseen); but as the lightning that shineth from the east unto the west, so will I come upon the clouds of heaven with a great host in my majesty; with my cross going before my face will I come in my majesty; shining sevenfold more than the sun will I come in my majesty with all my saints, mine angels (mine holy angels).

9And my Father shall set a crown upon mine head, that I may judge the quick and the dead and recompense every man according to his works.
