Luke 21:5-24

5And while some were talking about the Temple, how it was decorated with beautiful stones and offerings, Yeshua said,

6“As for these things you are looking at, the days will come when not one stone will be left upon another. Every one will be torn down!”

7And they questioned Him, saying, “Teacher, so when will these things happen? What will be the sign that these things are about to take place?”

8And He said, “Watch out that you are not led astray! For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He’ and ‘The time is near!’ Do not follow them.

9And when you hear of wars and chaos, do not be terrorized. For these things need to happen first, but the end will not come at once.”

10Then He continued telling them, “Nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.

11There will be great earthquakes along with famines and epidemics in various places, and there will be terrors along with great signs from heaven.

12But before all these things, they will grab you and persecute you, handing you over to the synagogues and prisons, and leading you away to kings and governors on account of My name.

13This will lead you to be a witness.

14So make up your minds not to prepare ahead of time to defend yourselves—

15for I Myself will give you speech and wisdom that none of your opponents will be able to resist or refute.

16But you will be handed over even by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends—and they will put some of you to death.

17And you will be hated by all because of My name.

18Yet not a hair of your head will be lost.

19By your endurance, you will gain your souls.

20“But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then recognize that her desolation is near.

21Then those in Judea must flee to the mountains, and those inside the city must get out, and those in the countryside must not enter her.

22For these are the days of punishment, to fulfill all that has been written.

23“Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath on this people.

24They will fall by the edge of the sword and be led away captive into all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
