Matthew 24:21-29 Because then there will be a great tribulation, such as has never been since the beginning of the world until now, and never again will be.

WPNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ²¹ Because then there will be a great tribulation, such as has never been since the beginning of the world until now, and never again will be. ²² And unless those days were cut short no flesh would be saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short. ²³ Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, the Messiah is here!’ or ‘there!’ don’t believe him. ²⁴ Because false christs and false prophets will be raised up, and they will give great signs and wonders so as to deceive, if possible, even the elect. ²⁵ See, I have told you beforehand. ²⁶ So if they should say to you, ‘Look, He is in the wilderness!’ don’t go out; ‘Look, in the secret rooms!’ don’t believe it. ²⁷ Because just as the lightning comes from east and shines to west, so also will be the coming of the Son of the Man; ²⁸ for wherever the carcass may be there will be a gathering of vultures. ²⁹ “Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from the heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
