Mark 13:3-8

Signs of the End of the Age

3 While He was sitting on the Mount of Olives across from the temple complex, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked Him privately,
4 "Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign when all these things are about to take place?"
5 Then Jesus began by telling them: "Watch out that no one deceives you.
6 Many will come in My name, saying, 'I am He,' and they will deceive many.
7 When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, don't be alarmed; these things must take place, but the end is not yet.
8 For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. [a] These are the beginning of birth pains.
