Living_Oracles(i)
15 When, therefore, you shall see, on holy ground, the desolating abomination foretold by the Prophet Daniel, (reader, attend!)
16 then let those in Judea flee to the mountains:
17 let not him, who shall be upon the housetop, come down to carry things out of his house;
18 and let not him, who shall be in the field, return to take his mantle.
19 But alas for the women with child, and for them that give suck in those days!
20 Pray, therefore, that your flight happen not in the winter, nor on a Sabbath;
21 because there shall be then so great tribulation, as has not been since the beginning of the world until now, nor shall be ever after.
22 For, if the time were protracted, no soul could survive; but for the sake of the elect, the time will be short.
23 If any man shall say to you then, Lo! the Messiah is here, or he is there, believe it not:
24 for false Messiahs and false prophets will arise, who will perform great wonders and prodigies, so as to seduce, if possible, the elect themselves.
25 Remember, I have warned you.
26 Wherefore, if they say, He is in the desert, go not out. He is in the closet, believe it not.
27 For the coming of the Son of Man shall be like lightning, which breaking forth from the east, shines even to the west.
28 For wheresoever the carcass is, the eagles will be gathered together.
