Matthew 24:21-24 For there will then be great distress, such as hath not been from the commencement of the world, until now, and will not be.

Murdock⁽ⁱ⁾ ²¹ For there will then be great distress, such as hath not been from the commencement of the world, until now, and will not be. ²² And unless those days should be cut short, no flesh would remain alive. But, for the elect's sake, those days will be cut short. ²³ Then, if any one shall say to you, Lo, the Messiah is here, or is there; give no credence. ²⁴ For there will arise false Messiahs, and mendacious prophets; who will exhibit great signs, so as to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
