The Abomination of Desolation

(Matthew 24:15–25, Luke 21:20–24)

So when you see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet,[fn] standing where vvv it should not be[fn] ({let} the reader understand), then {let} those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 15 {Let} [no one] on the housetop vvv go back inside the house[fn] to retrieve anything from his house. 16 And {let} [no one] in the field vvv return for his cloak.

17 

[How] miserable those days [will be] for pregnant and nursing [mothers]! 18 Pray that your flight[fn] vvv will not occur in the winter. 19 For those will be days of tribulation unmatched from [the] beginning of God’s creation until now, and never to be [seen again]. 20 If [the] Lord vvv had not cut short those days, nobody vvv would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, whom He has chosen, He has cut them short

21 

At that time if anyone says to you,‘Look, here [is] the Christ!’ or‘There [He is]!’ vvv do not believe [it]. 22 For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders that would deceive even[fn] the elect, if [that were] possible. 23 [So] vvv be on your guard; see,[fn] I have told you everything {in advance}.
