Matthew 24:21-29
New American Standard Bible
21 For then there will be a (A)great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will again. 22 And if those days had not been cut short, no [a]life would have been saved; but for (B)the sake of the [b]elect those days will be cut short. 23 (C)Then if anyone says to you, ‘Behold, here is the [c]Christ,’ or ‘He is over here,’ do not believe him. 24 For false christs and (D)false prophets will arise and will provide great [d](E)signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even (F)the [e]elect. 25 Behold, I have told you in advance. 26 So if they say to you, ‘Behold, He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Behold, He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe them. 27 (G)For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will the (H)coming of the (I)Son of Man [f]be. 28 (J)Wherever the corpse is, there the [g]vultures will gather.
The Glorious Return
29 “But immediately after the (K)tribulation of those days (L)the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and (M)the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

Matthew 24:21-29
New International Version
21 For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.(A)
22 “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect(B) those days will be shortened. 23 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it.(C) 24 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders(D) to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you ahead of time.
26 “So if anyone tells you, ‘There he is, out in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here he is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. 27 For as lightning(E) that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming(F) of the Son of Man.(G) 28 Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.(H)
29 “Immediately after the distress of those days
