Matthew 24:21-24 for there shall be then great affliction, such as has not been from the beginning of the world unto this time, no, nor ever shall be.

Worsley⁽ⁱ⁾ ²¹ for there shall be then great affliction, such as has not been from the beginning of the world unto this time, no, nor ever shall be. ²² And unless those days be shortened, no one would be saved; but for the sake of the elect those days shall be shortened. ²³ Then if any shall say to you, Behold here is the Messiah, or there; believe it not: ²⁴ for there shall rise up false Christs, and false prophets, who shall shew great signs and prodigies, so as to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
