Contextual Overview

14 But when you see the sign of the refuse of desolation, as spoken by the prophet Daniel, accumulating where it should not be, whoever reads can understand it. Then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountain; 15 And he who is on the roof, let him not come down, and not enter to take anything out of his house; 16 And he who is in the field, let him not return to take his clothes. 17 But woe to those who are with child, and to those who give suck in those days! 18 Pray that your flight may not be in winter. 19 For in those days there will be suffering, such as has never been from the beginning of the creation, which God created until now, and never will be again. 20 And if the Lord had not shortened those days, no flesh would live; but for the sake of the chosen ones, which he chose, he shortened those days. 21 Then if any man should say to you, Behold, here is the Christ; or, behold, there; do not believe it. 22 For there will rise false Christs, and lying prophets, and they will show signs and wonders, and mislead, if possible, even the chosen ones. 23 But you be careful; behold, I have told you everything in advance.
