Matthew 24:15-22
Holman Christian Standard Bible
The Great Tribulation
15 “So when you see the abomination that causes desolation,[a][b] spoken of by the prophet Daniel,(A) standing in the holy place”(B) (let the reader understand[c]), 16 “then those in Judea must flee to the mountains! 17 A man on the housetop[d] must not come down to get things out of his house.(C) 18 And a man in the field must not go back to get his clothes. 19 Woe to pregnant women and nursing mothers in those days! 20 Pray that your escape may not be in winter or on a Sabbath. 21 For at that time there will be great tribulation,(D) the kind that hasn’t taken place from the beginning of the world until now and never will again! 22 Unless those days were limited, no one would[e] survive.[f] But those days will be limited because of the elect.(E)
