Matthew 24:5-12

5for many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah.’ They will deceive many.

6And you will hear of wars and threats of wars, but don’t panic. Yes, these things must take place, but the end won’t follow immediately.

7Nation will go to war against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in many parts of the world.

8But all this is only the first of the birth pains, with more to come.

9“Then you will be arrested, persecuted, and killed. You will be hated all over the world because you are my followers.

10And many will turn away from me and betray and hate each other.

11And many false prophets will appear and will deceive many people.

12Sin will be rampant everywhere, and the love of many will grow cold.
