Matthew 24:1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his
disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the
temple. 2 And Jesus said unto them,
See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be
left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto
him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what
shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them,
Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying,
I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6 And ye shall hear of wars
and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things
must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation shall rise
against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines,
and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the
beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted,
and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my 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 this 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 shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel
the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let
him understand:) 16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the
mountains: 17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any
thing 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
that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the
sabbath day: 21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was
not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall
be. 22 And except 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 unto you, 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, I
have told you before. 26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he
is in the desert; go 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 shall also the coming of the Son of man
be.
