Mark 13:3-8

Signs of the End of the Age

3 And [as] he was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and 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 be accomplished?"

5 So Jesus began to say to 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 And when you hear about wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. This must happen, 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. There will be famines. These [things] [are] the beginning of birth pains.
