Matthew 24:21-29 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.

Living_Oracles⁽ⁱ⁾ 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. ²⁹ Immediately after those days of affliction, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall withhold her light; and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the heavenly powers shall be shaken.
