The Abomination of Desolation
15 u“So when you see vthe abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet wDaniel, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), 16 then let those who are in Judea flee xto the mountains. 17 yLet the one who is on the housetop not go down to take what is in his house, 18 and zlet the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak. 19 And aalas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! 20 Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a Sabbath. 21 For then there will be bgreat tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. 22 And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.
Jesus Foretells Destruction of Jerusalem
20 k“But when you see Jerusalem lsurrounded by armies, then know that its mdesolation has come near. 21 Then let those who are in Judea flee nto the mountains, and let those who are inside the city depart, and let not those who are out in the country enter it, 22 for these are odays of vengeance, to pfulfill all that is written. 23 qAlas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! For there will be great distress upon the earth and rwrath against this people. 24 They will fall by the edge of the sword and be led captive among all nations, and Jerusalem will be strampled underfoot by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
