Mateus 24

Jesus told his disciples about the distressing things that would happen before his return.

3 Later, as Jesus was sitting alone on the slope of Olive Tree Hill, we disciples went to him and asked him, "When will this happen to the buildings of the Temple? Also, tell us what will happen to indicate that you are about to come again, and to indicate that this world is ending?"

4 Jesus replied, "All that I will say is, be sure that no one deceives you about what will happen 5 Many people will come and say ◄that I sent them/that they have my authority► [MTY]. They will say, ‘I am the Messiah’, and they will deceive many people. 6 You will hear about wars that are close and wars that are far away, but do not let that trouble you. Keep in mind that God has said that those things must happen. But when they happen, it will not mean that the end of the world has come!
