Of these terrible evils the Lord Jesus said: “For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved” (Mt. 24:21-22).
"Kwa kuwa wakati huo kutakuwapo dhiki kubwa, ambayo haijatokea namna yake tangu mwanzo wa ulimwengu hata sasa, wala haitakuwapo kamwe. Na kama siku hizo zisingalifupizwa, asingeongoka mtu yeyote; lakini kwa ajili ya wateule zitafupizwa siku hizo" (Mat. 24:21-22).
