10. And then many will be offended and repelled and will begin to distrust and desert [Him Whom they ought to trust and obey] and will stumble and fall away and betray one another and pursue one another with hatred.
11. And many false prophets will rise up and deceive and lead many into error.
12. And the love of the great body of people will grow cold because of the multiplied lawlessness and iniquity,
13. But he who endures to the end will be saved.
14. And this good news of the kingdom (the Gospel) will be preached throughout the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then will come the end.
15. So when you see the appalling sacrilege [the abomination that astonishes and makes desolate], spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the Holy Place–let the reader take notice and ponder and consider and heed [this]–[Dan. 9:27; 11:31; 12:11.]
16. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains;
17. Let him who is on the housetop not come down and go into the house to take anything;
18. And let him who is in the field not turn back to get his overcoat.
19. And alas for the women who are pregnant and for those who have nursing babies in those days!
20. Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a Sabbath.
