Matthew 24:3-14 NAS
As He was sitting on the
Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, "Tell
us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your
coming, and the end of the age?"
And
Jesus answered and said to them, "
See to it that no one misleads you. For many will come in My name,
saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will mislead many. You will be
hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened,
for those things must take place, but that is not yet the
end. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against
kingdom, and various places there will be famines and earthquakes.
But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs. Then
they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be
hated by all
nations because of My name. At that time many will fall away and
will betray one another and hate one another. Many false prophets
will arise and will mislead many. Because lawlessness is increased,
most people's love will grow cold. But the one who endures to the
end, he will be saved. This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached
in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end
will come."
