1830 Edition

And when ye shall see these sayings coming forth among you, then ye need not any longer spurn at the doings of the Lord, for the sword of his justice is in his right hand, and behold at that day, if ye shall spurn at his doings, he will cause it that it shall soon overtake you.

Changes

And when ye shall see these sayings coming forth among you, then ye need not any longer spurn at the doings of the Lord, for the sword of his justice is in his right hand,; and behold, at that day, if ye shall spurn at his doings, he will cause it that it shall soon overtake you.

Simple English

When you see these words coming out among you, don’t reject what the Lord does anymore. The sword of his justice is in his right hand. At that time, if you reject his works, he will cause it to come upon you soon.

Paraphrase

When you see these prophecies unfolding, stop mocking what the Lord is doing. His justice is real and ready to strike. If you keep mocking him when that day comes, judgment will catch up with you fast.
