Matthew 24:4-28

Matthew 24:4-28

[4] And  Jesus  answered  and said  unto them,  Take heed  that no  man  deceive  [5] For  many  shall come  in  name,  saying,  am  Christ;  and  shall deceive  many.  [6] And  ye shall  hear  of wars  and  rumours  of wars:  see  not  troubled:  for  these things must  come to pass,  but  the end  not yet.  [7] For  nation  shall rise  against  nation,  and  kingdom  against  kingdom:  and  famines,  and  earthquakes,  in divers  places.  [8] All  are the beginning  of sorrows.  [9] Then  up  to  be afflicted,  and  shall kill  and  hated  of  all  nations  for  name's sake.  [10] And  then  shall many  be offended,  and  shall betray  one another,  and  shall hate  one another.  [11] And  many  false prophets  shall rise,  and  shall deceive  many.  [12] And  because  iniquity  shall abound,  the love  of many  shall wax cold.  [13] But  he that shall endure  unto  the end,  the same  shall be saved.  [14] And  gospel  of the kingdom  shall be preached  in  all  the world  for  a witness  unto all  nations;  and  then  shall the end  come.  [15] When  ye therefore  the abomination  of desolation,  by  Daniel  the prophet,  stand  in  the holy  place,  (whoso readeth,  let him understand:)  [16] Then  let them which be in  Judaea  flee  the mountains:  [17] Let him which is on  the housetop  not  come down  to take  out of  his  house:  [18] Neither  let him which is in  the field  return  back  to take  his  clothes.  [19] And  woe  unto them that are  with  child,  and  to them that give suck  in  those  days!  [20] But  pray ye  flight  be  in the winter,  neither  the sabbath day:  [21] For  then  great  tribulation,  such as  was  not  since  the beginning  of the world  to this  time,  no,  shall be.  [22] And  those  days  should be shortened,  there  should  no  flesh  be saved:  but  for  the elect's sake  those  days  shall be shortened.  [23] Then  if  any man  shall say  Lo,  here  is Christ,  or  there;  believe  it not.  [24] For  there shall arise  false Christs,  and  false prophets,  and  shall shew  great  signs  and  wonders;  insomuch that,  if  it were possible,  they shall deceive  the very  elect.  [25] Behold,  [26] Wherefore  if  they shall say  Behold,  in  the desert;  not  forth:  behold,  he is in  the secret chambers;  believe  it not.  [27] For  as  the lightning  cometh  out of  the east,  and  shineth  even unto  the west;  so  also  the coming  of the Son  of man  [28] wheresoever  the carcase  there  the eagles  be gathered together.
