20 And if the Lord had not shortened the days, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, whom he chose, he has shortened the days.
21 “And at that time if anyone should say to you, “Behold, here is the Christ,’ ‘Behold, there he is,’ do not believe him!
22 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear, and will produce signs and wonders in order to mislead, if possible, the elect.
23 But you, watch out! I have told you everything ahead of time!
24 “But in those days, after that tribulation, ‘the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light,
25 and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.’
26 And then they will see the Son of Man arriving in the clouds with great power and glory.
