Matthew 24:23-27

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. ²⁷ _l For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be _m the coming of the Son of Man.
