Matthew 24:2-20

2“Don’t you see all these?” He responded to them. “Amen, I tell you, not one stone will be left here on top of another—every one will be torn down!”

3As He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things happen? What will be the sign of Your coming and of the end of the age?”

4Yeshua answered them, “Be careful that no one leads you astray!

5For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will lead many astray.

6You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must happen but it is not yet the end.

7For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines and earthquakes in various places.

8But all these things are only the beginning of birth pains.

9“Then they will hand you over to persecution and will kill you. You will be hated by all the nations because of My name.

10And then many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one other.

11Many false prophets will arise and lead many astray.

12Because lawlessness will multiply, the love of many will grow cold.

13But the one who endures to the end will be saved.

14This Good News of the kingdom shall be proclaimed in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.

15“So when you see ‘the abomination of desolation,’ which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the Holy Place (let the reader understand),

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.
