In that time, brother shall betray brother even unto death; father
shall betray his son; and children shall rise up against their parents
and cause them to be put to death. Ye shall be hated by all men for my
name's sake. But he that shall endure to the end shall be saved.
When ye see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the
prophet, standing where it ought not (let him who reads understand),
then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains. Let him that is
on the housetop not go down into the house to take anything out of his
house. Let him that is in the field not turn back again to get his
garment. And woe to those who are with child. And pray that your flight
be not in the winter. Unless the Lord shortened those days, no flesh
would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, whom He has chosen, He
has shortened the days. For in those days shall be affliction such as
was not seen from the beginning of God's creation to this time.

shall not give her light, the stars shall fall, and the powers in the
heavens shall be shaken. Then the Son of man will appear in the clouds
with great power and in glory. He shall send His angels, and shall
gather together His elect from the four winds and from the uttermost
part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
So if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, He is
there; do not believe him. False Christs and false prophets shall rise
