Matthew 24:21-24 for there will be greater misery then than there has ever been from the beginning of creation until now, or ever will be again.

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ²¹ for there will be greater misery then than there has ever been from the beginning of creation until now, or ever will be again. ²² If those days had not been cut short, nobody would have escaped, but for the sake of God's people those days will be cut short. ²³ "If anyone says to you at that time, 'Look! here is the Christ!' or 'There he is!' do not believe it, ²⁴ for false Christs and false prophets will appear, and they will show great signs and wonders to mislead God's chosen people if they can.
