Matthew 24:13-28 (Thursday)
13 |
But he who endures to the end shall be saved. |
14 |
And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. |
15 |
Therefore when you see the 'abomination of desolation,' spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (whoever reads, let him understand), |
16 |
then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. |
17 |
Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house. |
18 |
And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes. |
19 |
But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! |
20 |
And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath. |
21 |
For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. |
22 |
And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake those days will be shortened. |
23 |
Then if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or 'There!' do not believe it. |
24 |
For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. |
25 |
See, I have told you beforehand. |
26 |
Therefore if they say to you, 'Look, He is in the desert!' do not go out; or 'Look, He is in the inner rooms!' do not believe it. |
27 |
For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. |
28 |
For wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together. |
