14 “So when you see the destructive desecration standing where it should not be (let the reader take note), ^{▼▼Dan 9:27; 11:31; 12:11} then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains.Dan 9:27; Matt 24:15; Luke 21:21 15 The person who is on his housetop must not come down and go into his house to take anything out of it, 16 and the person who is in the field must not turn back to get his coat.

17 “How terrible it will be for women who are pregnant or who are nursing babies in those days!Luke 21:23; 23:29 18 Pray that it may not be in winter. 19 For those days will be a time of suffering, ^{▼▼Or tribulation} a kind that has not happened from the beginning of the creation that God made until now and certainly will never happen again.Dan 9:26; 12:1; Joel 2:2; Matt 24:21 20 If the Lord did not limit those days, no one would be saved. But for the sake of the elect whom he has chosen, he has limited those days.

21 “At that time, if anyone says to you, ‘Look! Here is the Christ!’, ^{▼▼I.e. the Messiah} or, ‘Look! There he is!’, don't believe it.Matt 24:23; Luke 17:23; 21:8 22 For false christs and false prophets will appear and produce signs and omens to deceive, if possible, the elect. 23 So be on your guard! I've told you everything before it happens.”2Pet 3:17

23 “How terrible it will be for those women who are pregnant or who are nursing babies in those days!
