"I will show wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke." Acts 2:19. "And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so might an earthquake, and so great." "And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent." Revelation 16:18, 20, 21.

Således vil Gud udrydde de ugudelige fra jorden. Men de retfærdige vil blive bevaret midt i alle disse rystelser, ligesom Noa blev bevaret i arken. Gud vil være deres tilflugt, og under hans vinger skal de hvile tillidsfuldt. Salmisten siger: "(Thi du, Herre er min tilflugt) den Højeste tog du til bolig. Der times dig intet ondt." Sl. 91, 9-10. "Thi han gemmer mig i sin hytte på ulykkens dag, skjuler mig i sit telt." Sl. 27, 5. Guds løfte er: "Da han klynger sig til mig, frier jeg ham ud, jeg bjærger ham, thi han kender mit navn." Sl. 91, 14.
