The Gospel of Mark, Chapter 13, verses 14-23.

14 When you see the abomination of desolation, a prophet Daniel, standing, where it should not, reader, and then it understands, then those who are in Judea are fleeing to the mountains;

15 and who is on the roof, do not go into the house and do not enter into something from your house;

16 and who is on the field, do not turn back your clothes.

17 grief for pregnant women and nourishing tapes in those days.

18 pray, so that the flight of your winter does not happen.

19 for in those days there will be such sorrow that was not from the beginning of the creation that God created, even by the bottom, will not be.

20 And if the Lord had not reduced those days, then no flesh would have been saved; But for the sake of the elect that he chose, reduced those days. 21 Then, if anyone tells you: here, here is Christ, or: here, there, do not believe.

22 for false Christists and false prophets will rise and signs and miracles will give to seduce, if possible, the elect.

23 You are bending. Here, I told you everything in advance.

Commented by the priest Stefan Domuschi

So, we hear the continuation of the eschatological sermon of Christ. His story, like any prophecy is dual: he tells that he will soon be during the life of his immediate students, and at the same time, about what will happen in recent times.

However, the usual description of war, hunger and similar things for eschatological plots is supplemented by something completely different. It turns out that not only inter -human relations, but also a “holy place” will come into a state of decline, in which there will be a “abomination of desolation”.

Of course, a person who is familiar with the history of Jerusalem knows that this prediction of Christ literally came true, because The temple, whose beauty was so admired by the apostles, was defiled and burned by the Romans. Upon learning of the upcoming siege and remembering the words of the Savior, Christians fled from Jerusalem to the city of Pell in the mountains in the East.

And yet, reading these words, we must understand that they say not only about the events that occurred in Judea in the first century, they, of course, are about the future of the Church. I think that some parallel to this prophecy can be the words of Christ that when he comes, "is unlikely to distribute faith." In this case, the abomination of desolation of the last times is the desolation to which the church will be subjected to. Moreover, desolation is not necessarily external, but primarily internal, spiritual. The same can be said about each person separately, because remaining, outwardly quite pious, he may not take care of the temple of his soul.

But the love of God never leaves a person. Saying that the sorrow of those days will be incomparable, Christ adds that the days of this sorrow will be reduced so that salvation is possible for those who remained faithful to him these days.

However, in addition to persecutions, which in themselves are extremely difficult testing, there will be one more, much more complicated. We are talking about the phenomenon of falserist and false prophets that will come in order to seduce, if possible elected.

The severity of persecution is obvious, but they are openly and those who drive and kill believers, as the Gentiles did in antiquity, and how it happened in the 20th century with the newcomers and confessors, do not hide their hostility and their intentions. In a situation of persecution, a person is faced with a choice: either he renounces Christ and then remains alive, or he remains faithful to him and goes to death. But in the case of seduction and deceit, everything is completely different. Falsehristos - this is the one who pretends to be Christ, the false prophet - the one who pretend to be as a prophet. This means that outwardly everything can be quite decent, without violence and torment, you can remain faithful to the name of Christ, external forms, but replace the essence of faith and life, change the spirit of Christ.

Today's reading ends with the words: “You are beingware. I told you everything in advance. " The Savior warns his students personally, but we can hear him, turning to the Gospel. It is from him that we, as Christians, should draw the spirit that will help us remain faithful to him in everything.
