Mark 13:14–23 — the coming tribulation

[14] But when ye see the abomination of desolation standing where he ought not (let him that readeth understand), then let them that are in Judæa flee unto the mountains: [15] and let him that is on the housetop not go down, nor enter in, to take anything out of his house: [16] and let him that is in the field not return back to take his cloak. [17] But woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days! [18] And pray ye that it be not in the winter. [19] For those days shall be tribulation, such as there hath not been the like from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never shall be. [20] And except the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh would have been saved; but for the elect’s sake, whom he chose, he shortened the days. [21] And then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is the Christ; or, Lo, there; believe it not: [22] for there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and shall show signs and wonders, that they may lead astray, if possible, the elect. [23] But take ye heed: behold, I have told you all things beforehand.
