Provisional translation

Though the Name is signified by symbols, yet this pertaineth to the station of creation; verily God is sanctified above all names and attributes [3.5s]... ...The hour is approaching when the most great convulsion will have appeared.… I swear by God! The promised day is come, the day when tormenting trials will have surged above your heads
