Discovery BoxMark 13:20-22 
Context13:20 And if the Lord had not cut short those days, no one would be saved. But because of the elect, whom he chose, he has cut them 1 short. 13:21 Then 2 if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ 3 or ‘Look, there he is!’ do not believe him. 13:22 For false messiahs 4 and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, the elect.
