Matthew 24:15-28 - The Abomination Of Desolation
15 When therefore ye see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by the prophet Daniel, erected in the holy place, (let him that readeth, mark this,) 16 then let such as are in Judea flee into the mountains. 17 Let not him who is upon the roof go down to take any thing out of his house. 18 And he that is in the field, let him not turn back to take his garment. 19 But wo to those who are with child, and have an infant at their breasts in those days! 20 And pray that your flight be not in winter, nor on the sabbath. 21 For then the tribulation will be great, such as never was from the beginning of the world, and never more shall be. 22 And except those days were shortened, there would be no flesh saved: but for the elect's sake these days shall be shortened.
23 Then if any man say unto you, Lo! here is the Messiah, or there; believe it not: 24 for false Messiahs and false prophets shall arise, and give out great signs and wonders; so as to deceive, if it were possible, even the elect. 25 Behold, I have forewarned you. 26 Therefore if they say to you, He is in the wilderness; go not out: lo! he is in the secret closets; believe it not. 27 For as the lightning cometh out from the east, and flashes to the west; so shall be the coming of the Son of man. 28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
14 But when ye see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing where it ought not (let him that readeth observe), then let those who are in Judea fly to the mountains: 15 and let not him who is on the roof go down into the house, nor enter into it, to carry away any thing out of the house: 16 and he that is in the field, let him not return back to take his garment. 17 But wo to those who are big with child, and who have infants at their breasts in those days! 18 And pray that your flight be not in winter. 19 For these days shall bring tribulation, such as the like hath never been from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, and never shall be more. 20 And except the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh would have been preserved: but for the sake of those elect, whom he hath elected, he hath shortened the days.
21 And then, if any man say to you, Lo, here is the Messiah! or, lo there! believe it not. 22 For many false Messiahs and false prophets shall arise, and shall propose signs and wonders to deceive, if it were possible, even the elect. 23 But be ye on your guard: lo! I have told you all things:
