Matthew 24:6-29

6And you willG3195 be hearingG191 of 1warsG4171 and rumorsG189 of warsG4171. SeeG3708 that you are not alarmedG2360, for those things mustG1163 takeG1096 placeG1096, but that is not yetG3768 the endG5056. 7For 2nationG1484 will riseG1453 againstG1909 nationG1484, and kingdomG932 againstG1909 kingdomG932, and there will be 3faminesG3042 and earthquakesG4578 in variousG2596 placesG5117. 8 4But allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778 are merely the beginningG746 of birthG5604 painsG5604.

9“5ThenG5119 they will handG3860 you overG3860 to tribulationG2347 and killG615 you, and 6you will be hatedG3404 by allG3956 nationsG1484 becauseG1223 of My nameG3686. 10And at that timeG5119 manyG4183 will 7 8fallG4624 awayG4624, and they will 9betrayG3860 oneG240 anotherG240 and hateG3404 oneG240 anotherG240. 11And manyG4183 10falseG5578 prophetsG5578 will riseG1453 upG1453 and 11misleadG4105 manyG4183 peopleG4183. 12And becauseG1223 lawlessnessG458 is increasedG4129, 12mostG4183 people’sG4183 loveG26 will becomeG5594 coldG5594. 13 13But the one who enduresG5278 to the endG5056 is theG3778 oneG3778 who will be savedG4982. 14ThisG3778 14gospelG2098 of the kingdomG932 15shall be preachedG2784 in the wholeG3650 16 17worldG3625 as a testimonyG3142 to allG3956 the nationsG1484, and thenG5119 the endG5056 will comeG2240.

15“ThereforeG3767 whenG3752 you seeG3708 the 18abominationG946 of desolationG2050 which was spokenG3004 of throughG1223 DanielG1158 the prophetG4396, standingG2476 in 19the holyG40 placeG5117--20 21let the 22readerG314 understandG3539-- 16thenG5119 thoseG3588 whoG3588 are in JudeaG2449 must fleeG5343 to the mountainsG3735. 17 23WhoeverG3588 is on 24the 25housetopG1430 must not goG2597 downG2597 to getG142 things out of his houseG3614. 18And 26whoeverG3588 is in the fieldG68 must not turnG1994 backG3694 G1994 to getG142 his cloakG2440. 19But 27woeG3759 to thoseG3588 womenG3588 who are pregnantG2192 G1064, and to thoseG3588 who are nursingG2337 babiesG2337 in thoseG3588 daysG2250! 20MoreoverG1161, prayG4336 that 28whenG5437 you fleeG5437, it will not be in the winterG5494, orG3366 on a SabbathG4521. 21For thenG5119 there will be a 29greatG3173 tribulationG2347, suchG3634 as has not occurredG1096 sinceG575 the beginningG746 of the worldG2889 untilG2193 nowG3568, norG3761 everG3756 G3361 will again. 22And ifG1487 thoseG1565 daysG2250 had not been cutG2856 shortG2856, noG3756 G3956 30lifeG4561 would have been savedG4982; but for 31the sakeG1223 of the 32electG1588 thoseG1565 daysG2250 will be cutG2856 shortG2856. 23 33ThenG5119 ifG1437 anyoneG5100 saysG3004 to you, ‘BeholdG2400, hereG5602 is the 34ChristG5547,’ orG2228 ‘He is over hereG5602,’ do not believeG4100 him. 24For falseG5580 christsG5580 and 35falseG5578 prophetsG5578 will ariseG1453 and will provideG1325 greatG3173 36 37signsG4592 and wondersG5059, soG5620 as to misleadG4105, ifG1487 possibleG1415, evenG2532 38the 39electG1588. 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. 27 40For justG5618 as the lightningG796 comesG1831 from the eastG395 and flashesG5316 asG2193 farG2193 asG2193 the westG1424, soG3779 will the 41comingG3952 of the 42SonG5207 of ManG444 43be. 28 44WhereverG3699 G1437 the corpseG4430 is, thereG1563 the 45vulturesG105 will gatherG4863.

29“But immediatelyG2112 afterG3326 the 46tribulationG2347 of thoseG1565 daysG2250 47the sunG2246 will be darkenedG4654, and the moonG4582 will not giveG1325 its lightG5338, and 48the starsG792 will fallG4098 from the skyG3772, and the powersG1411 of the heavensG3772 will be shakenG4531.
