Matthew 24:21-23

The Voice

²¹ For the tribulation will be unparalleled—hardships of a magnitude that has not been seen since creation and that will not be seen again. ²² Indeed the Lord God your merciful judge will cut this time of trial short, and this will be done for the benefit of the elect that some might indeed be saved—for no one could survive the depravity for very long.

²³ I cannot say this clearly enough: during this time, someone will say to you, “Look, here is the Anointed One!” or “Aren’t you relieved? Haven’t you seen the Savior down there, around the bend, over the hill and dale?” Do not believe them.
