18. Truly, pray that these things may not happen in winter.
19. For those days shall have such tribulations as have not been since the beginning of the creation that God founded, even until now, and shall not be.
20. And unless the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh would be saved. But, for the sake of the elect, whom he has chosen, he has shortened the days.
21. And then, if anyone will have said to you: 'Behold, here is the Christ. Behold, in that place.' Do not believe it.
22. For false Christs and false prophets will rise up, and they will present signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if it were possible, even the elect.
23. Therefore, you must take heed. Behold, I have foretold all to you.
24. But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give her splendor.
25. And the stars of heaven will be falling down, and the powers that are in heaven will be moved.
