Matthew 24:8-20

81But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pains.

9“2Then they will hand you over to tribulation and kill you, and 3you will be hated by all nations because of My name. 10And at that time many will 45fall away, and they will 6betray one another and hate one another. 11And many 7false prophets will rise up and 8mislead many people. 12And because lawlessness is increased, 9most people’s love will become cold. 1310But the one who endures to the end is the one who will be saved. 14This 11gospel of the kingdom 12shall be preached in the whole 1314world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.

15“Therefore when you see the 15abomination of desolation which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in 16the holy place--1718let the 19reader understand-- 16then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains. 1720Whoever is on 21the 22housetop must not go down to get things out of his house. 18And 23whoever is in the field must not turn back to get his cloak. 19But 24woe to those women who are pregnant, and to those who are nursing babies in those days! 20Moreover, pray that 25when you flee, it will not be in the winter, or on a Sabbath.
