Contextual Overview
14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand) then let them that are in Judea flee to the mountains: 15 And let not him that is on the house-top go down into the house, neither enter in, to take any thing out of his house. 16 And let not him that is in the field, turn back to take up his garment. 17 But wo to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days. 18 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter. 19 For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creat`on, which God created until now, neither shall be. 20 And unless the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened those days. 21 Then if any man say to you, Lo, here is Christ, or lo, he is there, believe it not. 22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect. 23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
For false Christs and false prophets shall rise,.... As there did, both before and after the destruction of Jerusalem:
