Matthew 24:4-24

Worsley(i) 4 And Jesus answered them, See that no one deceive you: 5 for many shall come in my name saying, I am the Christ, and shall deceive many. 6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars, but be not troubled; for all these must indeed come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes in several places: 8 all which are but the beginning of sorrows. 9 Then shall they afflict you, and kill you; and ye shall be hated by all nations for my name: 10 and then will many take offense, and betray one another, and hate one another: and many false prophets will rise up and deceive many: 11 and because iniquity shall abound, 12 the love of many will grow cold. 13 But he that endures to the end, shall be saved: 14 and this gospel of the kingdom of heaven shall be preached in all the world, for a testimony to all the nations; and then shall the end come. 15 When therefore ye shall see the desolating abomination, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing at the holy place, (let him, that readeth, attend) then let those in Judea flee to the mountains: 16 let not him that is at the top of the house come down into it, 17 to take any thing out of his house; 18 nor let him that is in the field return back to take his clothes. 19 But wo to them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days. 20 Pray that your flight be not in the winter, nor on the sabbath: 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.
