24:15. When therefore you shall see the abomination of desolation,
which was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place:
he that readeth let him understand.
24:16. Then they that are in Judea, let them flee to the mountains:
24:17. And he that is on the housetop, let him not come down to take
any thing out of his house:
24:18. And he that is in the field, let him not go back to take his
coat.
24:19. And woe to them that are with child and that give suck in those
days.
24:20. But pray that your flight be not in the winter or on the
sabbath.
24:21. For there shall be then great tribulation, such as hath not been
from the beginning of the world until now, neither shall be.
24:22. And unless those days had been shortened, no flesh should be
saved: but for the sake of the elect those days shall be shortened.
24:23. Then if any man shall say to you, Lo here is Christ, or there:
do not believe him.
24:24. For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets and shall
shew great signs and wonders, insomuch as to deceive (if possible) even
the elect.
24:25. Behold I have told it to you, beforehand.
24:26. If therefore they shall say to you, Behold he is in the desert:
go ye not out. Behold he is in the closets: believe it not.
24:27. For as lightning cometh out of the east and appeareth even into
the west: so shall also the cowling of the Son of man be.
24:28. Wheresoever the body shall be, there shall the eagles also be
gathered together.
Wheresoever, etc. . .The coming of Christ shall be sudden, and manifest
to all the world, like lightning: and wheresoever he shall come,
thither shall all mankind be gathered to him, as eagles are gathered
about a dead body.
24:29. And immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun
shall be darkened and the moon shall not give her light and the stars
shall fall from heaven and the powers of heaven shall be moved.
The stars. . .Or flaming meteors resembling stars.
24:30. And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven. And
then shall all tribes of the earth mourn: and they shall see the Son of
man coming in the clouds of heaven with much power and majesty.
The sign, etc. . .The cross of Christ.
24:31. And he shall send his angels with a trumpet and a great voice:
and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the
farthest parts of the heavens to the utmost bounds of them.
24:32. And from the fig tree learn a parable: When the branch thereof
is now tender and the leaves come forth, you know that summer is nigh.
24:33. So you also, when you shall see all these things, know ye that
it is nigh, even at the doors.
24:34. Amen I say to you that this generation shall not pass till all
these things be done.
24:35. Heaven and earth shall pass: but my words shall not pass.
Shall pass. . .Because they shall be changed at the end of the world
into a new heaven and new earth.
