- Yakan: “Then the prayer-house of God in heaven was opened and inside it was seen the chest containing the writing of God’s covenant with his people. When the prayer-house was opened immediately there was lightning and thunderclaps and rolling-thunder. There also was an earthquake and much ice big like stones fell from the sky.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “In heaven the church, the House of God, was opened, and inside was seen the trunk where the written promises of God are placed.

As for these, they are testimony to the praiseworthiness/glory of God.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
