Matthew 24:3-8 - Signs Of The End Of The Age

³ Then as he was sitting upon the mount of Olives, his disciples came to him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall there things be? and what is the sign of thy coming, and of the consummation of the age?

⁴ And Jesus answering said unto them, Beware that no man deceive you. ⁵ For many will come in my name, saying, I am the Messiah; and shall deceive multitudes. ⁶ And ye shall hear of wars, and rumours of wars: see that ye be not terrified: for these things must first be, but the end is not yet. ⁷ For nation shall be roused up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in diverse places. ⁸ Now all these things are the beginning of the travailing pangs.

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 shall these things be? and what is the sign when all these things shall come to pass?

⁵ Then Jesus answering them, began to say, Beware that no man deceive you: ⁶ for many will come in my name, saying, I am the Messiah; and shall deceive many. ⁷ But when ye hear of wars, and rumours of wars, be not troubled: for these things must be; but the end is not yet. ⁸ And nation shall rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and commotions: these are the beginnings of sorrows.

⁷ And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what is the sign, when these things are ready to come to pass?

⁸ Then he said, Take heed that ye be not deluded: for many will come in my name, saying, I am he; and the period approaches: go not therefore after them. ⁹ But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the conclusion is not immediately.

¹⁰ Then saith he unto them, Nation shall rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: ¹¹ and great earthquakes shall be in different places, and famines, and pestilences; and in the heaven shall be frightful appearances, and mighty signs.
