15\u00a0<\/sup>Let him who is on the housetop not go down into the house, nor enter to take anything out of his house.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

16\u00a0<\/sup>And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

17\u00a0<\/sup>But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

18\u00a0<\/sup>And pray that your flight may not be in winter.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

19\u00a0<\/sup>For in those days there will be tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the creation which God created until this time, nor ever shall be.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

20\u00a0<\/sup>And unless the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect\u2019s sake, whom He chose, He shortened the days.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

21\u00a0<\/sup>\u201cThen if anyone says to you, \u2018Look, here is the Christ!\u2019 or, \u2018Look, He is there!\u2019 do not believe it.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

22\u00a0<\/sup>For false christs and false prophets will rise and show signs and<\/span> wonders to deceive, if possible, even the<\/span>\u00a0elect.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

23\u00a0<\/sup>But<\/span> take heed; see, I have told you all things beforehand.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n

Also found in Matthew 24:15-28<\/span><\/a> and Luke 21:20-24.<\/h3>\n

Our Lord’s words … reach forward to the Great Tribulation and to Antichrist, the Abomination of Desolation, who will violate the Holy of Holies of the Temple in Jerusalem (Matthew 24:15<\/span><\/a> standing in the holy place), also Paul (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4<\/span><\/a>). When that occurs, let Israel take that as the signal to flee. Antichrist will make a treaty of friendship and religious toleration with the Jewish nation for a period of seven years (Daniel 9:27, confirm covenant … for one week). After 3\u00bd years, he will violate that covenant by stopping the Temple worship and will enter the Holy of Holies. He will then show himself to be, not the reputed friend and protector of Israel but its bitter enemy. \u2014 Wuest, page 249.<\/span><\/h3>\n

woe (v.17) \u2014 an interjection of grief<\/h3>\n

in those days there will be tribulation (v.19) \u2014 should read “Those days will be a tribulation.”<\/h3>\n

These will be tribulation days. The judgments of God which will fall upon unbelieving Israel and the Gentile nations will have no precedent in all past history, and no counterpart in all succeeding history. God, in mercy will shorten the period of the Great Tribulation so that Israel, the nation, might not cease to exist. In Revelation 7:4-8, we have 144,000 of Israel, the preaching remnant in the Great Tribulation period. These announce the coming of the Messiah, and lose their lives during that period by reason of the persecution of Antichrist. In Revelation 14 we see them in the Glory. The period of divine judgment will be shortened in order that the lives of God’s chosen out ones, namely, Israel, might be spared. \u2014 Wuest, page 250.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Christ (v.21) \u2014 The Messiah, the promised and coming King of Israel who comes in the dynasty of David to rule over Israel in the Messianic Kingdom. Thus, our Lord was speaking of false Messiahs. This false Christ does not deny the being of a Christ. He builds on the world’s expectation of such a person. He appropriates to himself the title and identity, and affirms that he is the foretold one. These false Messiahs and prophets will show signs and wonders in an attempt to prove their claims to be true. … Our Lord warns Israel against accepting the claims of one who performs miracles solely upon the basis of the fact that he performs miracles. The character of the person and his message must also be taken into consideration. \u2014 Wuest, pages 250-251<\/span><\/h3>\n
