Matthew 24:3-8

Signs of the End of the Age

3 And [as] he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came up to him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these [things] happen, and what [will be] the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?"

4 And Jesus answered [and] said to them, "Watch out that no one deceives you!

5 For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and they will deceive many.

6 And you are going to hear about wars and rumors of wars. See to it that you are not alarmed, for this must happen, but the end is not yet.

7 For nation will rise up against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in [various] places.

8 But all these [things] [are] the beginning of birth pains.
