Are We Living in the Last Days?

Part 3

Mat 24:15	"The time will come when you will see what Daniel the prophet spoke about: the sacrilegious object that causes desecration standing in the Holy Place"-reader, pay attention!
Mat 24:16	"Then those in Judea must flee to the hills.
Mat 24:17	A person outside the house must not go inside to pack.
Mat 24:18	A person in the field must not return even to get a coat.
Mat 24:19	How terrible it will be for pregnant women and for mothers nursing their babies in those days.
Mat 24:20	And pray that your flight will not be in winter or on the Sabbath.
Mat 24:21	For that will be a time of greater horror than anything the world has ever seen or will ever see again.
Mat 24:22	In fact, unless that time of calamity is shortened, the entire human race will be destroyed. But it will be shortened for the sake of God's chosen ones.
Mat 24:23	"Then if anyone tells you, `Look, here is the Messiah,' or `There he is,' don't pay any attention.
Mat 24:24	For false messiahs and false prophets will rise up and perform great miraculous signs and wonders so as to deceive, if possible, even God's chosen ones.
Mat 24:25	See, I have warned you.
Mat 24:26	"So if someone tells you, `Look, the Messiah is out in the desert,' don't bother to go and look. Or, `Look, he is hiding here,' don't believe it!
Mat 24:27	For as the lightning lights up the entire sky, so it will be when the Son of Man comes.
Mat 24:28	Just as the gathering of vultures shows there is a carcass nearby, so these signs indicate that the end is near.
Mat 24:29	"Immediately after those horrible days end, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give light, the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of heaven will be shaken.
