Matthew 24:15-28 - The Abomination Of Desolation

Matthew 24:15-28

15 When, therefore, ye see the abomination of desolation, spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place, (let him that readeth understand,) 16 then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains; 17 let not him that is on the housetop go down to take away the things belonging to his house; 18 and let not him that is in the field turn back to take his garment. 19 And woe to the women with child, and to those with children at the breast, in those days! 20 And pray that your flight be not in winter, nor on a sabbath. 21 For there will then be great distress, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world to this time; no, nor shall ever be. 22 And were not those days to shortened, no flesh would be saved; but, for the sake of the chosen, these days will be shortened.

23 Then if any one say to you, Lo! here is the Christ; or there, believe him not. 24 For there will rise up false Christs, and false prophets, and will show great signs and wonders, so that, if possible, even the chosen will be deceived. 25 Lo! I have told you beforehand. 26 If therefore they say to you, Lo! he is in the wilderness; go not forth; lo! he is in the private chambers; believe them not. 27 For as the lightning cometh from the east, and shineth even to the west, so will be the coming of the Son of man. 28 Wherever the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

Mark 13:14-23

14 But when ye see the abomination of desolation standing where it ought not,let him that readeth understand,then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains; 15 let not him that is on the housetop go down, nor enter, to take anything out of his house; 16 and let not him that is in the field turn back to take his garment. 17 And woe to the women with child, and to those with children at the breast, in those days! 18 And pray that it may not be in winter. 19 For those days will be a time of distress, such as hath not been from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, nor shall be. 20 And if the Lord had not shortened the days, no flesh would have been saved; but for the sake of the chosen whom he chose, he shortened the days.

21 And then if any one shall say to you, See! here is the Christ; see! there; believe him not. 22 For false Christs and false prophets will rise up, and will do signs and wonders, to lead astray, if possible, the chosen. 23 But do ye take heed! I have told you all beforehand.
