Matthew 24:21-29 For there will be then, Great tribulation, such as hath not happened, from the beginning of the world, until the present time, neither in any wise shall happen.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ²¹ For there will be then, Great tribulation, such as hath not happened, from the beginning of the world, until the present time, neither in any wise shall happen. ²² And, except those days had been shortened, no flesh had been saved; but, for the sake of the chosen, those days shall be shortened. ²³ Then, if any, unto you, say––Lo! here, is the Christ, or, there, Do not believe it; ²⁴ For there will arise, false Christs, and false prophets,––and they will show great signs and wonders, so that, if possible, even the chosen, should be deceived:–– ²⁵ Lo! I have foretold you. ²⁶ If therefore they should say unto you, Lo! in the desert, he is, Do not go forth; Lo! in the chambers, Do not believe it. ²⁷ For, just as the lightning goeth forth from the east, and shineth unto the west, so, shall be the presence of the Son of Man. ²⁸ Wheresoever, the corpse, shall be, there, shall be gathered, the vultures! ²⁹ But, straightway after the tribulation of those days, the sun, will be darkened, and, the moon, will not give her brightness, and, the stars, will fall from heaven,––and, the powers of the heavens, will be shaken;
