¹⁵^(B)“You will see ‘The Awful Horror’ of which the prophet Daniel spoke. It will be standing in the holy place.” (Note to the reader: understand what this means!) ¹⁶“Then those who are in Judea must run away to the hills. ¹⁷^(C)Someone who is on the roof of a house must not take the time to go down and get any belongings from the house. ¹⁸Someone who is in the field must not go back to get a cloak. ¹⁹How terrible it will be in those days for women who are pregnant and for mothers with little babies! ²⁰Pray to God that you will not have to run away during the winter or on a Sabbath! ²¹^(D)For the trouble at that time will be far more terrible than any there has ever been, from the beginning of the world to this very day. Nor will there ever be anything like it again.
