Mace(i)
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, mention'd by Daniel the prophet, stand about the holy place, (let him that readeth,
16 consider it well) let those who are then in Judea, flee into the mountains,
17 he that is on the battlements, let him not venture to go in to take any thing out of his house.
18 if any man be in the field, let him not return back to take his coat.
19 unhappy will they be that are with child, and they that give suck in those days.
20 be sure to pray that your flight be not in the winter, nor on the sabbath-day:
21 for the desolation will be so dreadful, the like was never seen since the beginning of the world, no, nor ever shall be again.
22 for unless the time was to be short, very few could escape, but for the sake of the converts the time shall be short.
23 Then if any shall cry, the Messiah is here, or he is there: give no credit to it.
24 for there shall arise false Messiahs, and false prophets, and shall shew such astonishing miracles and prodigies, as to deceive, if that can do it, the very converts themselves.
25 remember, I have forewarn'd you.
26 wherefore, if they shall say to you, now he is in the desert, do not stir: or now, he is in the secret chambers, believe them not.
27 for as the lightning darts from the east in an instant to the west: such shall the advent of the son of man be.
28 for whereever the carcase is, there will the eagles be assembled.
