Signs Of The End Of The Age

7 When ye shall hear of war, and tidings of war, be ye not troubled. For such things must needs be. But the end is not yet. 8 For there shall nation arise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there shall be earthquakes, in all quarters, and famishment, and troubles. These are the beginning of sorrows. 9 But take ye heed to yourselves. For they shall bring you up to the councils, and into the synagogues, and ye shall be beaten, and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings, for my sake, for a testimonial unto them.
