Matthew 24:3-8 - Signs Of The End Of The Age
3 And when he was upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came to him in private, and said, tell us when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of this age?
4 Jesus answered them, take care not to be deceived by any one: 5 for many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ: and shall deceive many. 6 ye shall hear likewise of wars, and rumours of wars: take care not to be disturb'd: for these things must happen, but the end of the Jewish age is not yet. 7 for nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes in divers places. 8 yet all this is but the beginning of sorrow.
3 and when he was sitting upon the mount of Olives over-against the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew said to him in private, tell us, 4 when shall this happen? and what will be the sign that this is going to be accomplished?
5 Jesus answer'd by saying, take care not to let any one impose upon you; 6 for many shall come in my name, and say, I am the Messiah; and deceive many. 7 but when ye shall hear the talk of wars, and the noise of wars, be not alarm'd; for that must happen; but the end is not yet. 8 for nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: there shall be earthquakes in divers places, famines and commotions.
7 thereupon they said to him, master, when shall this happen? and by what sign shall we know that the event is coming?
8 he answered, take care, that you be not seduced: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ. it won't be long e'er this happens, therefore do not follow them. 9 And when ye shall hear of wars, and seditions, be not alarm'd. for these must first happen: but the end will not be so soon.
10 then nation, said he, shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 11 great earthquakes, and famines, and pestilences shall happen in divers places: terrible appearances and surprizing prodigies shall be in the heavens.
