But for the sake of the elect [i.e., God's people], whom He chose, He kept those days short. 21 And then if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is Christ,' or 'Look, there He is,' do not believe him. 22 For false Christs and false prophets will appear and they will perform [miraculous] signs and [supernatural] wonders in order to lead astray [even] the elect, if possible.
