shew Him the buildings

I say unto you, There
shall not be left here
one stone upon another,
that shall not be cast
down.

For then shall be great

tribulation such as was not

but for the elects sake
those days shall be
shortened.

insomuch that, if it were
possible, they shall
deceive the very elect.

Behold he is in the desert; go not forth:
