6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. All these things must happen, but the end is still to come.
7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.

20 Pray that your flight will not occur in the winter or on the Sabbath.
21 For at that time there will be great tribulation, unmatched from the beginning of the world until now, and never to be seen again.
22 If those days had not been cut short, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, those days will be cut short.
23 At that time, if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it.
24 For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders that would deceive even the elect, if that were possible.

51 Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Mark 13:1-37
1 As Jesus was leaving the temple, one of His disciples said to Him, “Teacher, look at the magnificent stones and buildings!”
2 “Do you see all these great buildings?” Jesus replied. “Not one stone will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”
3 While Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked Him privately,

10 And the gospel must first be proclaimed to all the nations.

18 Pray that your flight will not occur in the winter.
19 For those will be days of tribulation unmatched from the beginning of God’s creation until now, and never to be seen again.
20 If the Lord had not cut short those days, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, whom He has chosen, He has cut them short.
21 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it.
22 For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders that would deceive even the elect, if that were possible.
23 So be on your guard; See, I have told you everything in advance.
24 But in those days, after that tribulation: ‘The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light;
25 the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.’
26 At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
27 And He will send out His angels to gather His elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven.
28 Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its branches become tender and sprout leaves, you know that summer is near.
29 So also, when you see these things happening, know that He is near, right at the door.
30 Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened.
31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.
32 No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
33 Be on your guard, stay alert, and pray! For you do not know when the appointed time will come.
34 It is like a man going on a journey who left his house, put each servant in charge of his own task, and instructed the doorkeeper to keep watch.
35 Therefore keep watch, because you do not know when the master of the house will return—whether in the evening, at midnight, when the rooster crows, or in the morning.
36 Otherwise, he may arrive without notice and find you sleeping.
37 And what I say to you, I say to everyone: Keep watch!”
