Perilous Times

15 "Therefore when you see the 5ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in 6the holy place (7let the reader understand ),
16 then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains.
17 "Whoever is on 8the housetop must not go down to get the things out that are in his house.
18 "Whoever is in the field must not turn back * to get his cloak.
19 "But 9woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!
20 "But pray that your flight will not be in the winter, or on a Sabbath.
21 "For then there will be a 10great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever * will.
22 "Unless those days had been cut short, no * life would have been saved; but for 11the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.
23 "12Then if anyone says to you, 'Behold, here is the Christ,' or 'There He is,' do not believe him.
