Matthew 24:14-30

14ThisG3778 1gospelG2098 of the kingdomG932 2shall be preachedG2784 in the wholeG3650 34worldG3625 as a testimonyG3142 to allG3956 the nationsG1484, and thenG5119 the endG5056 will comeG2240.

15“ThereforeG3767 whenG3752 you seeG3708 the 5abominationG946 of desolationG2050 which was spokenG3004 of throughG1223 DanielG1158 the prophetG4396, standingG2476 in 6the holyG40 placeG5117--78let the 9readerG314 understandG3539-- 16thenG5119 thoseG3588 whoG3588 are in JudeaG2449 must fleeG5343 to the mountainsG3735. 1710WhoeverG3588 is on 11the 12housetopG1430 must not goG2597 downG2597 to getG142 things out of his houseG3614. 18And 13whoeverG3588 is in the fieldG68 must not turnG1994 backG3694G1994 to getG142 his cloakG2440. 19But 14woeG3759 to thoseG3588 womenG3588 who are pregnantG2192G1064, and to thoseG3588 who are nursingG2337 babiesG2337 in thoseG3588 daysG2250! 20MoreoverG1161, prayG4336 that 15whenG5437 you fleeG5437, it will not be in the winterG5494, orG3366 on a SabbathG4521. 21For thenG5119 there will be a 16greatG3173 tribulationG2347, suchG3634 as has not occurredG1096 sinceG575 the beginningG746 of the worldG2889 untilG2193 nowG3568, norG3761 everG3756G3361 will again. 22And ifG1487 thoseG1565 daysG2250 had not been cutG2856 shortG2856, noG3756G3956 17lifeG4561 would have been savedG4982; but for 18the sakeG1223 of the 19electG1588 thoseG1565 daysG2250 will be cutG2856 shortG2856. 2320ThenG5119 ifG1437 anyoneG5100 saysG3004 to you, ‘BeholdG2400, hereG5602 is the 21ChristG5547,’ orG2228 ‘He is over hereG5602,’ do not believeG4100 him. 24For falseG5580 christsG5580 and 22falseG5578 prophetsG5578 will ariseG1453 and will provideG1325 greatG3173 2324signsG4592 and wondersG5059, soG5620 as to misleadG4105, ifG1487 possibleG1415, evenG2532 25the 26electG1588. 25BeholdG2400, I have toldG4275 you inG4275 advanceG4275. 26SoG3767 ifG1437 they sayG3004 to you, ‘BeholdG2400, He is in the wildernessG2048,’ do not goG1831 outG1831; or, ‘BeholdG2400, He is in the innerG5009 roomsG5009,’ do not believeG4100 them. 2727For justG5618 as the lightningG796 comesG1831 from the eastG395 and flashesG5316 asG2193 farG2193 asG2193 the westG1424, soG3779 will the 28comingG3952 of the 29SonG5207 of ManG444 30be. 2831WhereverG3699G1437 the corpseG4430 is, thereG1563 the 32vulturesG105 will gatherG4863.

29“But immediatelyG2112 afterG3326 the 33tribulationG2347 of thoseG1565 daysG2250 34the sunG2246 will be darkenedG4654, and the moonG4582 will not giveG1325 its lightG5338, and 35the starsG792 will fallG4098 from the skyG3772, and the powersG1411 of the heavensG3772 will be shakenG4531. 30And thenG5119 36the signG4592 of the SonG5207 of ManG444 will appearG5316 in the skyG3772, and thenG5119 allG3956 the tribesG5443 of the earthG1093 will mournG2875, and they will seeG3708 37the SonG5207 of ManG444 comingG2064 on the cloudsG3507 of the skyG3772 with powerG1411 and greatG4183 gloryG1391.
