Matthew 24:5-12

5For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will mislead many.

6You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. Make sure that you are not alarmed, for this must happen, but the end is still to come.

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

8All these things are the beginning of birth pains.

9“Then they will hand you over to be persecuted and will kill you. You will be hated by all the nations because of my name.

10Then many will be led into sin, and they will betray one another and hate one another.

11And many false prophets will appear and deceive many,

12and because lawlessness will increase so much, the love of many will grow cold.
