Matthew 24:5-28
-
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
-
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must 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 divers places.
-
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
-
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
-
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
-
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
-
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
-
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
-
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
-
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
-
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
-
17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
-
18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
-
19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
-
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
-
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
-
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
-
23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
-
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
-
25 Behold, I have told you before.
-
26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
-
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
-
28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
