Then I heard a certain holy one speaking, and another holy one said to the one who spoke, For how long is the vision, concerning the regular sacrifice and the transgression of desolation, to permit both the holy place and the host to be trampled?

And he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week. And in the middle of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the grain offering to cease. And on a corner will be abominations that cause horror, even until the end. And that which was decreed shall be poured out on the desolate.

And from the time the regular sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that causes horror is set up, there shall be one thousand, two hundred and ninety days.

Therefore when you see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (whoever reads, let him understand),

Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house.

But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!

For then there will be great affliction, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.

Then if anyone says to you, Look, here is the Christ; or, There; do not believe it.

Behold, I have told you beforehand.

For as the lightning comes out of the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.

But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near.

For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

The enemy has spread out his hand upon all her desirable things; for she has seen the nations enter her sanctuary, whom You commanded that they should not enter into Your assembly.

Thus says the Lord Jehovah: No foreigner, uncircumcised in heart or uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter My sanctuary, including any son of a foreigner who is among the children of Israel.

Jesus said to them, Have you understood all these things? They said to Him, Yes, Lord.

So Philip ran to him, and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, Do you understand what you are reading?

And he said, How can I, unless someone guides me? And he summoned Philip to come up and sit with him.

Even things without life, whether flute or harp, when they make a sound, unless they present different musical notes, how will it be known what is piped or played?

For if the trumpet gives an uncertain sound, who will prepare himself for battle?

Brethren, do not be children in understanding; however, in malice be infants, but in understanding be mature.

Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near.

Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666.

Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the midst of her depart, and let not those who are in the country enter her.

But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people.
