3 Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, across from the temple. Peter, James, John and Andrew asked him a question in private.
4 "Tell us," they said. "When will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are all about to come true?"
5 Jesus said to them, "Keep watch! Be careful that no one fools you.
6 Many will come in my name. They will claim, 'I am he.' They will fool many people.
7 "You will hear about wars. You will also hear people talking about future wars. Don't be alarmed. Those things must happen. But the end still isn't here.
8 Nation will fight against nation. Kingdom will fight against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in many places. People will go hungry. All of those things are the beginning of birth pains.
