Matthew 24:4-24

BLB(i) 4 And Jesus answering, said to them, “Take heed, lest anyone mislead you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will mislead many. 6 And you will begin to hear of wars and rumors of wars. Behold, do not be alarmed; for it is necessary to take place, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 And all these are the beginning of birth pains. 9 Then will they deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all the nations on account of My name. 10 And then many will fall away, and they will betray one another, and will hate one another; 11 and many false prophets will arise, and will lead many astray. 12 And because lawlessness is to be multiplied, the love of the many will grow cold. 13 But the one having endured to the end, he will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed in the whole earth, for a testimony to all the nations; and then the end will come. 15 Therefore when you shall see ‘the abomination of desolation,’ having been spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place—the one reading, let him understand— 16 then those in Judea, let them flee to the mountains; 17 the one on the housetop, do not let him come down to take anything out of his house; 18 and the one in the field, do not let him return back to take his cloak. 19 And woe to those having in womb, and to the ones nursing infants in those days! 20 But pray that your flight might not be in winter, nor on a Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, and never shall be. 22 And unless those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved; but because of the elect, those days will be shortened. 23 Then if anyone says to you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ,’ or ‘Here,’ do not believe it. 24 For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will give great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.
