The Signs of the Times
and the End of the Age
Mark 13:3-13
The Signs of the Times and the
End of the Age
3
Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James,
John, and Andrew asked Him privately, 4
“Tell us, when will these things be? And
what will be the sign when all these things will be fulfilled?” 5
And Jesus, answering them, began to say: “Take heed that no one deceives
you. 6 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I
am He,’ and will deceive many. 7
But when you hear of wars and rumors
of wars, do not be troubled; for such things must happen, but the end
is not yet. 8 For nation will rise against nation,
and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various
places, and there will be famines and troubles. These are the beginnings
of sorrows. 9 “But
watch out for yourselves, for they will deliver you up to councils, and
you will be beaten in the synagogues. You will be brought before rulers
and kings for My sake, for a testimony to them. 10 And
the gospel must first be preached to all the nations. 11
But when they arrest you and deliver you up, do not worry beforehand,
or premeditate what you will speak. But whatever is given you in that
hour, speak that; for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit. 12
Now brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and
children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death.
13 And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake.
But he who endures to the end shall be saved."
