Matthew 24:6-8

Expanded Bible

⁶ You will hear about wars and ·stories of wars that are coming [rumors/reports of wars], but don’t be ·afraid [alarmed]. These things must happen ·before the end comes [or but that is not yet the end]. ⁷ Nations will ·fight [^Lrise up] against other nations, and kingdoms against other kingdoms. There will be ·times when there is no food for people to eat [famines], and there will be earthquakes in ·different [various] places. ⁸ All these things are ·like the first pains when something new is about to be born [^Lthe beginning of the birth pains].
