Matthew 24:16-28

16then those in Judea must flee to the mountains.

17The one on the roof must not go down to take what is in his house,

18and the one in the field must not turn back to get his coat.

19Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!

20Pray that your escape will not happen in winter, or on Shabbat.

21For then there will be great trouble, such as has not happened since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will.

22And unless those days were cut short, no one would be delivered. But for the sake of the chosen, those days will be cut short.

23“Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here’s the Messiah,’ or ‘There He is,’ do not believe it.

24For false messiahs and false prophets will rise up and show great signs and wonders so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen.

25See, I have told you beforehand.

26“So if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out. Or, ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it.

27For just as lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so also will be the coming of the Son of Man.

28For wherever the carcass is, there the vultures will gather.
