Matthew 24:15-28 - The Abomination Of Desolation

Matthew 24:15-28

15 When, therefore, you see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in a holy place??et him that reads understand,??16 then let those in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let not him that is on his house come down to take the things from his house; 18 and let not him that is in the field return back to take his clothes; 19 and woe to those with child and giving nurse in those days! 20 But pray that your flight may not be in the winter, nor on the Sabbath; 21 for at that time there shall be great affliction, such as has not been from the beginning of the world even till now, nor ever shall be. 22 And unless those days were shortened no flesh would be saved: but on account of the elect those days shall be shortened.

23 Then if one says to you, Behold, here is the Christ, or there! believe it not. 24 For false Christs and false prophets shall be raised up, and shall show great signs and wonders, so as to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 Behold, I have told you before. 26 If, therefore, they say to you, Behold he is in the wilderness, go not forth; Behold he is in private rooms, believe it not. 27 For as the lightning comes forth from the East, and shines even to the West, so shall the coming of the Son of man be. 28 Wherever the dead body is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

Mark 13:14-23

14 And when you see the abomination of desolation standing where it ought not, let him that reads understand, then let those in Judea flee to the mountains; 15 and let not him that is on the house go down into the house, nor enter to take any thing out of his house; 16 and let not him that is in the field turn back to take his garment. 17 And woe to those with child, and those giving nurse in those days! 18 But pray that it may not be in the winter, 19 for those days shall be an affliction, such as has not been from the beginning of the creation that God created till now, and shall not be. 20 And unless the Lord had shortened those days no flesh would be saved; but for the elects' sake, whom he has chosen, he has shortened the days.

21 And then if any one says to you, Behold the Christ is here! Behold there! believe it not. 22 For false prophets shall arise, and perform miracles and wonders, to deceive, if possible, the elect. 23 But beware; I have foretold you all things.
