Chapter 9

1shall be many martyrs. Then shall the twigs of the fig-tree, that is, the house of Israel, shoot forth : many shall become martyrs at his hand. Enoch and Elias shall be sent to teach them that this is the deceiver which must come into the world and do signs and wonders to deceive. And therefore shall they that die by his hand be martyrs, and shall be reckoned among the good and righteous martyrs who have pleased God in their life. 1
