Matthew 24:21-24 because there shall be then so great tribulation, as has not been since the beginning of the world until now, nor shall be ever after.

Living_Oracles⁽ⁱ⁾ ²¹ because there shall be then so great tribulation, as has not been since the beginning of the world until now, nor shall be ever after. ²² For, if the time were protracted, no soul could survive; but for the sake of the elect, the time will be short. ²³ If any man shall say to you then, Lo! the Messiah is here, or he is there, believe it not: ²⁴ for false Messiahs and false prophets will arise, who will perform great wonders and prodigies, so as to seduce, if possible, the elect themselves.
