"But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by
Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth
understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains: and
let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither
enter therein, to take any thing out of his house: and let him that is
in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment. But woe
to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter. For in those days
shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation
which God created unto this time, neither shall be. And except that

nigh, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, that this generation
shall not pass, till all these things be done. Heaven and earth shall
pass away: but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and that
hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither
the Son, but the Father. Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not
when the time is. For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey,
