Matthew 24:21

The Abomination of Desolation

20Pray that your flight will not occur in the winter or on the Sabbath.21For at that time there will be great tribulation, unmatched from the beginning of the world until now, and never to be seen again.22If those days had not been cut short, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, those days will be cut short.
