15 [ref]“So whenever you all see the irreverent object that the prophet Daniel wrote about being placed in the holy place (anyone reading this should try to understand it), 16 those in Yudea should flee to the hills, 17 [ref]anyone outside on the flat roof shouldn’t go back inside to get things out of the house, 18 and anyone in the field shouldn’t go back to the house to get their coat. 19 It will be very difficult for pregnant women and breast-feeding mothers in those days, 20 but pray that your escape won’t be in winter or on a rest day. 21 [ref]This will be followed by incredible troubles like nothing that has been observed in this world from creation until the present time, and which won’t happen like that again— 22 in fact if those days weren’t shortened, nobody would survive, however because of the chosen, those days will be shortened.

23 “Then if anyone says, ‘Look, here’s the messiah’ or ‘Here he is’, don’t believe it, 24 because false messiahs and false prophets will emerge, and they will do amazing miracles that would mislead even the chosen if possible. 25 Listen, I’m telling you all before it happens.

26 [ref]“So if they tell you all, ‘Look, he’s out in the wilderness,’ don’t go out there, or if they say, ‘He’s here in these private rooms,’ don’t believe it, 27 because when humanity’s child comes, it’ll be like how the lightening goes right across the sky from one side to the other.

28 [ref]“Wherever there’s something dead, that’s where the vultures will gather.
