Matthew 24:15-28 - The Abomination Of Desolation
15 So when you see the appalling Horror spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing erect in the holy place (let the reader note this), 16 then let those who are in Judaea fly to the hills; 17 a man on the housetop must not go down to fetch what is inside his house, 18 and a man in the field must not turn back to get his coat. 19 Woe to women with child and to women who give suck in those days! 20 Pray that you may not have to fly in winter or on the sabbath, 21 for there will be sore misery then, such as never has been from the beginning of the world till now ??no and never shall be. 22 Had not those days been cut short, not a soul would be saved alive; however, for the sake of the elect, those days will be cut short.
23 If anyone tells you at that time, 'Here is the Christ!' or, 'there he is!' do not believe it; 24 for false Christs and false prophets will rise and bring forward great signs and wonders, so as to mislead the very elect, ??if that were possible. 25 (I am telling you this beforehand.) 26 If they tell you, 'Here he is in the desert,' do not go out; 'here he is in the chamber,' do not believe it. 27 For like lightning that shoots from east to west, so will be the arrival of the Son of man. 28 Wherever the body lies, there will the vultures gather.
14 But whenever you see the appalling Horror standing where he has no right to stand (let the reader note this), then let those who are in Judaea fly to the hills; 15 a man on the housetop must not go down into the house or go inside to fetch anything out of his house, 16 and a man in the field must not turn back to get his coat. 17 Woe to women with child and to women who give suck in those days! 18 Pray it may not be winter when it comes, 19 for those days will be days of misery, the like of which has never been from the beginning of God's creation until now ??no and never shall be. 20 Had not the Lord cut short those days, not a soul would be saved alive; but he has cut them short for the sake of the elect whom he has chosen.
21 If anyone tells you at that time, 'Look, here is the Christ,' or, 'Look, there he is,' do not believe it; 22 for false Christs and false prophets will rise and perform signs and wonders to mislead the elect if they can. 23 Now take care! I am telling you of it all beforehand.
