God, the Supreme Person, before the beginning of the Iron Age, which asks all living beings to surrender to the Lord. Unfortunately, because of this dark age, the terrible age, that of discord, quarrels, hypocrisy, indifference, decadence and sin, people without intelligence do not abandon themselves to God.
Then religion, truthfulness, cleanliness or purity, tolerance, mercy, lifespan, physical strength and memory will decrease every day due to the powerful influence of the Iron Age.
During this dark age, wealth alone will be seen as a sign of a man's good birth, good behavior and good qualities. Law and justice will only be enforced on the basis of its power.
Men and women will live together simply because of a superficial attraction to the body, and success in business will depend on deception. Femininity and virility will be judged on their expertise in matters of sex, and a man will be known to be wise simply by wearing a sacred thread, a sign of honor.
A person's spiritual position will be determined simply by function of external symbols, and on this same basis, people will move from one spiritual order to another. A person's suitability will be seriously questioned if he does not make a good living, and one who is very skilled at juggling words will be considered a learned scholar.
A person will be judged ungodly if he has no money, and hypocrisy will be accepted as a virtue. Marriage will be arranged simply by verbal agreement, and a person will be considered fit to appear in public if they have simply taken a bath.
A sacred place will be considered to consist of only one remotely located water tank, and the beauty will depend on the hairstyle. Filling the belly will become the goal of life, and he who is daring will be accepted as truthful. He who can support a family will be considered an expert man, and the principles of religion will be respected only for reputation.
As the earth thus becomes filled with a corrupt population, whoever among the social classes proves himself the strongest will gain political power.
Losing their wives and their possessions to such stingy and ruthless rulers, who will not behave better than ordinary thieves, the citizens will flee to the mountains and forests.
Harassed by famine and taxes excessive, people will resort to leaves, roots, flesh, wild honey, fruits, flowers and seeds. Struck by drought, they will be completely ruined.
The citizens will suffer greatly from the cold, wind, heat, rain and snow. They will still be tormented by strife, hunger, thirst, sickness and severe anxiety. The maximum lifespan of Iron Age humans will be fifty years.
