Matthew 24:15-28 - The Abomination Of Desolation
15 When, therefore, you see that detestable thing that makes desolate, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place, (let him that reads understand;) 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains; 17 let not him that is on the house-top come down to take his goods out of his house; 18 and let not him that is in the field turn back to take his clothing. 19 But alas for those who are with child, and those who give suck in those days! 20 Pray that your flight may not be in the winter, nor on the Sabbath: 21 for then shall be great affliction, such as has not been from the beginning of the world till now, nor shall ever be. 22 And unless those days should be made few, no flesh could be saved. But on account of the elect those days shall be made few.
23 Then if any one shall say to you: Lo! here is the Christ, or there; believe it not. 24 For false Christs and false prophets will arise, and will show great signs and wonders, so as to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 Behold, I have told you beforehand. 26 Therefore, if they say to you: Behold, he is in the desert; go not out: Behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. 27 For as the lightning comes out from the east, and shines even to the west, so also shall the coming of the Son of man be. 28 For wherever the carcass is, there will the vultures come together.
14 But when you see that detestable thing that makes desolate, which is spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that reads understand,) then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains; 15 let not him that is on the house-top go down into his house, nor enter in to take any thing from his house; 16 and let not him that is in the field turn back to take his mantle. 17 But alas for those who are with child, and for those who give suck in those days. 18 And pray that your flight may not be in the winter. 19 For these will be the days of affliction, such as has not been from the beginning of the creation which God created, till this time, and will never be. 20 And unless the Lord had made those days few, no flesh could be saved: but for the sake of the elect whom he has chosen, he has made those days few.
21 And then, if any one say to you: Lo! here is the Christ, or, Lo! there; believe him not. 22 For false Christs and false prophets will arise, and will show signs and wonders, in order to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. 23 But do you take heed: behold, I have told you all things beforehand.
