Matthew 24:15-28 - The Abomination Of Desolation
15 Therefore, when ye see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, which shall stand in the holy place (whosoever reads, let him understand), 16 then let those who are in Judaea flee into the mountains; 17 let him who is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house, 18 neither let him who is in the field return back to take his clothes. 19 And woe unto those that are with child and to those that give suck in those days! 20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter neither on the sabbath day, 21 for then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And if those days were not shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Behold, here is the Christ, or there, believe it not. 24 For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets and shall show great signs and wonders in such a manner that they shall deceive, if possible, the very elect. 25 Behold, I have told you before. 26 Therefore if they say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert, go not forth; Behold, he is in the secret chambers, believe it not. 27 For as the lightning that comes out of the east and shines even unto the west, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 28 For wherever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation (spoken of by Daniel the prophet) standing where it ought not, he that reads, let him understand, then let those that are in Judaea flee to the mountains; 15 and let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein to take any thing out of his house; 16 and let him that is in the field not turn back again even to take up his garment. 17 But woe to those that are with child and to those that give suck in those days! 18 Pray, therefore, that your flight not be in winter. 19 For those days shall be of affliction such as never was from the beginning of the creation of the things which God created unto this time, neither shall be. 20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved, but for the elect's sake, whom he has chosen, he has shortened those days.
21 And then if anyone should say to you, Behold, here is the Christ, or, Behold, he is there, do not believe him; 22 for false Christs and false prophets shall rise and shall show signs and wonders to seduce, if possible, even the elect. 23 But take ye heed; behold, I have told you everything beforehand.
