Matthew 24:8-18

8 But all these things are just the beginning of the sufferings associated with the end.
9 They will arrest you, abuse you, and they will kill you. All nations will hate you on account of my name.
10 At that time many will fall away. They will betray each other and hate each other.
11 Many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.
12 Because disobedience will expand, the love of many will grow cold.
13 But the one who endures to the end will be delivered.
14 This gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the world as a testimony to all the nations. Then the end will come.

The great suffering

15 “When you see the disgusting and destructive thing that Daniel talked about standing in the holy place (the reader should understand this),
16 then those in Judea must escape to the mountains.
17 Those on the roof shouldn't come down to grab things from their houses.
18 Those in the field shouldn't come back to grab their clothes.
