Matthew 24:21-29 for that will be 'a time of great distress, the like of which has not occurred from the beginning of the world down to the present time'--no, nor ever will again.

Twentieth_Century⁽ⁱ⁾ ²¹ for that will be 'a time of great distress, the like of which has not occurred from the beginning of the world down to the present time'--no, nor ever will again. ²² And had not those days been limited, not a single soul would escape; but for the sake of 'God's People' a limit will be put to them. ²³ And, at that time, if any one should say to you 'Look! here is the Christ!' or 'Here he is!', do not believe it; ²⁴ For false Christs and false Prophets will arise, and will display great signs and marvels, so that, were it possible, even God's People would be led astray. ²⁵ Remember, I have told you beforehand. ²⁶ Therefore, if people say to you 'He is in the Wilderness!', do not go out there; or 'He is in an inner room!', do not believe it; ²⁷ For, just as lightning will start from the east and flash across to the west, so will it be with the Coming of the Son of Man. ²⁸ Wherever a dead body lies, there will the vultures flock.' ²⁹ Immediately after the distress of those days, 'the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give her light, the stars will fall from the heavens,' and 'the forces of the heavens will be convulsed.'
