Matthew 24:21-29

Williams(i) 21 for there will be greater misery at that time than ever has been since the world began, or ever will be again. 22 And if those days had not been cut short, nobody would have escaped, but for the sake of God's chosen people those days will be cut short. 23 "If anyone at that time says to you, 'Here is the Christ!' or 'There He is!' do not believe it, 24 for false Christs and false prophets will announce themselves, and they will show great signs and wonders to mislead, if possible, God's chosen people. 25 Remember, I have told you beforehand. 26 So if they say to you, 'Here He is in the desert,' do not go out to see. Or 'Here He is in some secret place,' do not believe it. 27 For just as the lightning starts in the east and flashes clear to the west, so the coming of the Son of Man will be. 28 Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will flock. 29 "And immediately after the misery of those days, the sun will turn dark, the moon will not shed its light, the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the sky will be shaken.
