Context
“There will be great winds by reason of which things of the East will become things of the West; and those of the South, being involved in the course of the winds, will follow them to distant lands.
* ( Of Worshipping the Pictures of Saints. ) *
Men will speak to men who hear not; having their eyes open, they will not see; they will speak to these, and they will not be answered. They will implore favours of those who have ears and hear not; they will make light for the blind.
* ( Of Sawyers. ) *
There will be many men who will move one against another, holding in their hands a cutting tool.”
