THE ABOMINATION THAT CAUSES DESOLATION

Matthew 24:15-25

15 SO WHEN YOU SEE STANDING IN THE HOLY PLACE

THE ABOMINATION THAT CAUSES DESOLATION,

SPOKEN OF THROUGH THE PROPHET DANIEL--

LET THE READER UNDERSTAND--

16 THEN LET THOSE WHO ARE IN JUDEA

FLEE TO THE MOUNTAINS.

17 LET NO ONE ON THE ROOF OF HIS HOUSE

GO DOWN TO TAKE ANYTHING OUT OF THE HOUSE.

18 LET NO ONE IN THE FIELD

GO BACK TO GET HIS CLOAK.

19 HOW DREADFUL IT WILL BE IN THOSE DAYS

FOR PREGNANT WOMEN AND NURSING MOTHERS!

20 PRAY THAT YOUR FLIGHT WILL NOT TAKE PLACE

IN THE WINTER OR ON THE SABBATH.

21 FOR THERE WILL BE GREAT DISTRESS,

UNEQUALED FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD

UNTIL NOW--

AND NEVER TO BE EQUALED AGAIN.

22 IF THOSE DAYS HAD NOT BEEN CUT SHORT,

NO ONE WOULD SURVIVE,

BUT FOR THE SAKE OF THE ELECT

THOSE DAYS WILL BE SHORTENED.

23 AT THAT TIME IF ANYONE SAYS TO YOU,

'LOOK, HERE IS THE CHRIST!'

OR, 'THERE HE IS!'

DO NOT BELIEVE IT.

24 FOR FALSE CHRISTS AND FALSE PROPHETS WILL APPEAR

AND PERFORM GREAT SIGNS AND MIRACLES

TO DECEIVE EVEN THE ELECT--

IF THAT WERE POSSIBLE.

25 SEE, I HAVE TOLD YOU AHEAD OF TIME.

(Matthew 24:15-25)

The Abomination that causes Desolation

Is the Image of the Beast, the Antichrist,

That the False Prophet sets up,

And requires everyone to worship it.

(Revelation 13:14-15)
