24:15 “So when you see the abomination of desolation ¹  – spoken about by Daniel the prophet – standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), 24:16 then those in Judea must flee ²  to the mountains. 24:17 The one on the roof ³  must not come down ⁴  to take anything out of his house, 24:18 and the one in the field must not turn back to get his cloak. 24:19 Woe ⁵  to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing their babies in those days! 24:20 Pray ⁶  that your flight may not be in winter or on a Sabbath. 24:21 For then there will be great suffering ⁷  unlike anything that has happened ⁸  from the beginning of the world until now, or ever will happen. 24:22 And if those days had not been cut short, no one would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short. 24:23 Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ ⁹  or ‘There he is!’ do not believe him. 24:24 For false messiahs ¹⁰  and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 24:25 Remember, ¹¹  I have told you ahead of time. 24:26 So then, if someone ¹²  says to you, ‘Look, he is in the wilderness,’ ¹³  do not go out, or ‘Look, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe him. 24:27 For just like the lightning ¹⁴  comes from the east and flashes to the west, so the coming of the Son of Man will be. 24:28 Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures ¹⁵  will gather. ¹⁶ 

24:29 “Immediately ¹⁷  after the suffering ¹⁸  of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven will be shaken. ¹⁹  24:30 Then ²⁰  the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, ²¹  and ²²  all the tribes of the earth will mourn. They ²³  will see the Son of Man arriving on the clouds of heaven ²⁴  with power and great glory. 24:31 And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet blast, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven ²⁵  to the other.
