Matthew 24:23-26

The Abomination of Desolation

23 f Then if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or 'There he is!' do not believe it. 24 For g false christs and h false prophets will arise and i perform great signs and wonders, h so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, j I have told you beforehand. 26 So, if they say to you, 'Look, k he is in the wilderness,' do not go out. If they say, 'Look, he is in the inner rooms,' do not believe it.
