Tatian

“ Take heed to yourselves, that your hearts become not heavy with inordinate desire, [39] and drunkenness, and the care of the world at any time, and that day come [30] upon you suddenly: [40] for it is as a shock that shocks all the inhabitants that are on the [31] face of the whole earth. [41] Watch at all times, and pray, that ye may be worthy to escape [Arabic, p. 161] from all the things that are to be, and that ye may stand before the Son of [32] man. [42] Of that day and of that hour hath no man learned, not even the angels [33] of heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. ”

“ And there shall be signs in the sun and the moon and the stars; and upon the earth affliction [24] of the nations, and rubbing of hands for the confusion [25] [20] [Arabic, p. 160] of the noise of the sea, and an earthquake: [26] the souls of men shall [21] go forth from fear of that which is to come upon the earth. ”

“ And when ye see the unclean sign of desolation, [5] spoken of in Daniel the prophet, standing in the pure place, he that readeth shall understand, [5, 6] [6] and then he that is in Judæa shall flee in to the mountain: [7] and let him that is on the [7] roof not go down, nor enter in to take anything from his house: [8] and let him that is in [8] [Arabic, p. 159] the field not turn behind him to take his garment. [9] Woe to them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days! there shall be great [9] distress in the land, and wrath against this nation. ”
