Matthew 24:6-8

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁶ And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not frightened or troubled, for this must take place, but the end is not yet.

⁷ For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in place after place;

⁸ All this is but the beginning [the early pains] of the ^[a]birth pangs [of the ^[b]intolerable anguish].
