12 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another; and many false prophets shall arise, and shall deceive many;
13 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold; but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet concerning the destruction of Jerusalem, then ye shall stand in the holy place. (Whoso readeth let him understand.)
15 Then let them who be in Judea flee into the mountains;
16 And let him who is on the housetop flee, and not return to take anything out of his house;
17 Neither let him who is in the field, return back to take his clothes.
18 And woe unto them that are with child, and unto them that give suck in those days.
19 Therefore pray ye the Lord, that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the Sabbath day.
20 For then, in those days, shall be great tribulation on the Jews, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem; such as was not before sent upon Israel, of God, since the beginning of their kingdom, (for it is written their enemies shall scatter them,) until this time; no, nor ever shall be sent again upon Israel.
21 All these things are the beginnings of sorrows.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved; but for the elect's sake, according to the covenant, those days shall be shortened.
