Matthew 24:20-22
1599 Geneva Bible
20 But pray that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the (A)[a]Sabbath day.
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not from the beginning of the world to this time, nor shall be.
22 And except [b]those days should be shortened, there should no [c]flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
