and will lead many astray. 013:007 "When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, don't be troubled. For those must happen, but the end is not yet. 013:008 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places. There will be famines and troubles. These things are the beginning of birth pains. 013:009 But watch yourselves, for they will deliver you up to councils. You will be beaten in synagogues. You will stand before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them. 013:010 The Good News must first be preached to all the nations. 013:011 When they lead you away and deliver you up, don't be anxious beforehand, or premeditate what you will say, but say whatever will be given you in that hour. For it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit. 013:012 "Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child. Children will rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death. 013:013 You will be hated by all men for my name's sake, but he who endures to the end, the same will be saved. 013:014 But when you see the abomination of desolation,{Daniel 9:17; 11:31; 12:11} spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, 013:015 and let him who is on the housetop not go down, nor enter in, to take anything out of his house. 013:016 Let him who is in the field not return back to take his cloak. 013:017 But woe to those who are with child and to those who nurse babies in those days! 013:018 Pray that your flight won't be in the winter. 013:019 For in those days there will be oppression, such as there has not been the like from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will be. 013:020 Unless the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh would have been saved; but for the sake of the chosen ones, whom he picked out, he shortened the days. 013:021 Then if anyone tells you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or, 'Look, there!' don't believe it. 013:022 For there will arise false christs and false prophets, and will show signs and wonders, that they may lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones. 013:023 But you watch. "Behold, I have told you all things beforehand. 013:024 But in those days, after that oppression, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light, 013:025 the stars will be falling from the sky, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken.{Isaiah 13:10; 34:4} 013:026 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory. 013:027 Then he will send out his angels, and will gather together his chosen ones from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the sky.
