Matthew 24:21

The Abomination Of Desolation

²⁰ Pray that your flight [from persecution and suffering] will not be in winter, or on a Sabbath [when Jewish laws prohibit travel]. ²¹ For at that time there will be a great tribulation (pressure, distress, oppression), such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will [again]. ²² And if those days [of tribulation] had not been cut short, no human life would be saved; but for the sake of the elect (God’s chosen ones) those days will be shortened.

Nor will be again afterward
Even for years of many generations.

But you did [what was] evil in My sight
And chose that in which I did not delight.”
