Matthew 24:5-8

New International Version

⁵ For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many.^{(A) 6} You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. ⁷ Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.^(B) There will be famines^(C) and earthquakes in various places. ⁸ All these are the beginning of birth pains.
