Matthew 24:14-42

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. 31And 38He will sendG649 forthG649 His angelsG32 with 39a greatG3173 trumpetG4536 blastG4536, and they will gatherG1996 togetherG1996 His 4041electG1588 from 42the fourG5064 windsG417, from one endG206 of the skyG3772 to the otherG206.

32“NowG1161 learnG3129 the parableG3850 from the figG4808 treeG4808: as soonG3752G2235 as its branchG2798 has becomeG1096 tenderG527 and sproutsG1631 its leavesG5444, you knowG1097 that summerG2330 is nearG1451; 33soG3779 you tooG2532, whenG3752 you seeG3708 allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778, 43recognizeG1097 that 44He is nearG1451, right 45at the 46doorG2374. 34TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, 47thisG3778 generationG1074 will not passG3928 awayG3928 untilG2193 allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778 takeG1096 placeG1096. 3548HeavenG3772 and earthG1093 will passG3928 awayG3928, but My wordsG3056 will not passG3928 awayG3928.

36“But 49aboutG4012 that dayG2250 and hourG5610 noG3762 oneG3762 knowsG3609, not evenG3761 the angelsG32 of heavenG3772, norG3761 the SonG5207, but the FatherG3962 aloneG3441. 37For 50the 51comingG3952 of the SonG5207 of ManG444 will be 52justG5618 likeG5618 the daysG2250 of NoahG3575. 38For as in thoseG1565 daysG2250 beforeG4253 the floodG2627 they were eatingG5176 and drinkingG4095, 53marryingG1060 and givingG1061 inG1061 marriageG1061, untilG891 the dayG2250 that 54NoahG3575 enteredG1525 the arkG2787, 39and they did not 55understandG1097 untilG2193 the floodG2627 cameG2064 and tookG142 them allG537 awayG142; soG3779 will the 56comingG3952 of the SonG5207 of ManG444 be. 40AtG5119 thatG5119 timeG5119 there will be twoG1417 men in the fieldG68; oneG1520 57will be takenG3880 and oneG1520 58will be leftG863. 4159TwoG1417 women will be grindingG229 at the 6061millG3458; oneG1520 62will be takenG3880 and oneG1520 63will be leftG863.

42“ThereforeG3767 64be on the alertG1127, for you do not knowG3609 whichG4169 dayG2250 your LordG2962 is comingG2064.
