Matthew 24:4-24

4And Jesus answered and said to them, “1See to it that no one 2misleads you. 5For 3many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the 4Christ,’ and they will 5mislead many people. 6And you will be hearing of 6wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end. 7For 7nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be 8famines and earthquakes in various places. 89But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pains.

9“10Then they will hand you over to tribulation and kill you, and 11you will be hated by all nations because of My name. 10And at that time many will 1213fall away, and they will 14betray one another and hate one another. 11And many 15false prophets will rise up and 16mislead many people. 12And because lawlessness is increased, 17most people’s love will become cold. 1318But the one who endures to the end is the one who will be saved. 14This 19gospel of the kingdom 20shall be preached in the whole 2122world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.

15“Therefore when you see the 23abomination of desolation which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in 24the holy place--2526let the 27reader understand-- 16then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains. 1728Whoever is on 29the 30housetop must not go down to get things out of his house. 18And 31whoever is in the field must not turn back to get his cloak. 19But 32woe to those women who are pregnant, and to those who are nursing babies in those days! 20Moreover, pray that 33when you flee, it will not be in the winter, or on a Sabbath. 21For then there will be a 34great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will again. 22And if those days had not been cut short, no 35life would have been saved; but for 36the sake of the 37elect those days will be cut short. 2338Then if anyone says to you, ‘Behold, here is the 39Christ,’ or ‘He is over here,’ do not believe him. 24For false christs and 40false prophets will arise and will provide great 4142signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even 43the 44elect.
