Matthew 24:16-28

16then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

17Let the one who is on the housetop not go down to take what is in his house,

18and let the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak.

19And alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days!

20Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a Sabbath.

21For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be.

22And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.

23Then if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or 'There he is!' do not believe it.

24For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.

25See, I have told you beforehand.

26So, if they say to you, 'Look, he is in the wilderness,' do not go out. If they say, 'Look, he is in the inner rooms,' do not believe it.

27For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

28Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.
