Matthew 24:21-23

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²¹ For then there will be great tribulation (affliction, distress, and oppression) such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now—no, and never will be [again].^(A)

²² And if those days had not been shortened, no human being would endure and survive, but for the sake of the elect (God’s chosen ones) those days will be shortened.

²³ If anyone says to you then, Behold, here is the Christ (the Messiah)! or, There He is!—do not believe it.
