1And it came to pass that the angel spake unto me, saying: Look! And I looked and beheld many nations and kingdoms.
2And the angel said unto me: What beholdest thou? And I said: I behold many nations and kingdoms.
3And he said unto me: These are the nations and kingdoms of the Gentiles.
4And it came to pass that I saw among the nations of the Gentiles the formation of a great church.
5And the angel said unto me: Behold the formation of a church which is most abominable above all other churches, which slayeth the saints of God, yea, and tortureth them and bindeth them down, and yoketh them with a yoke of iron, and bringeth them down into captivity.
