Preaching of John the Baptist

1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. 6 "But from the beginning of creation, God MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE. 8 "For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom ; there will be earthquakes in various places ; there will also be famines. These things are merely the beginning of birth pangs. 19 "For those days will be a time of tribulation such as has not occurred since the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will.
