2 Esdras 6:18-24

18 It said, "The days are coming when I draw near to visit the inhabitants of the earth,
19 and when I require from the doers of iniquity the penalty of their iniquity, and when the humiliation of Zion is complete.
20 When the seal is placed upon the age that is about to pass away, then I will show these signs: the books shall be opened before the face of the firmament, and all shall see my judgment together.
21 Children a year old shall speak with their voices, and pregnant women shall give birth to premature children at three and four months, and these shall live and leap about.
22 Sown places shall suddenly appear unsown, and full storehouses shall suddenly be found to be empty;
23 the trumpet shall sound aloud, and when all hear it, they shall suddenly be terrified.
24 At that time friends shall make war on friends like enemies, the earth and those who inhabit it shall be terrified, and the springs of the fountains shall stand still, so that for three hours they shall not flow.
