3 When Yeshua was sitting on the Mount of Olive, his apprentices came up to him by themselves, asking, “Tell us when all those things will happen and what the signs will be of your coming and of the end of this age?”

4 “Watch out in case others mislead you,” Yeshua answered, 5 “because many will come claiming to be me and saying that they’re the messiah and misleading many. 6 You will hear about wars and reports about wars further away. Don’t be alarmed, but keep watching because these things need to happen, although that’s not yet the end 7 because nations will turn against nations and kingdoms against kingdoms, plus there’ll be famines and earthquakes. 8 But all of those things are just like the beginning of labour pains.

9 [ref]“Then they’ll turn my followers in for persecution, and some will be killed. 10 Many of my followers will be caused to stumble and they’ll turn each other in and hate each other. 11 Also, many false prophets will appear and they will mislead many, 12 and as a result, lawlessness will increase and the love of many people will cool off 13 [ref]but anyone who lasts until the end will be saved. 14 This good message about God’s kingdom will be proclaimed right around the world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.
