1. As Jesus was leaving the temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Teacher, look at these beautiful stones and wonderful buildings!”
2. Jesus replied, “Do you see these huge buildings? They will certainly be torn down! Not one stone will be left in place.”
3. Later, as Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives across from the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew came to him in private.
4. They asked, “When will these things happen? What will be the sign that they are about to take place?”
5. Jesus answered:Watch out and don't let anyone fool you!
6. Many will come and claim to be me. They will use my name and fool many people.
7. When you hear about wars and threats of wars, don't be afraid. These things will have to happen first, but that isn't the end.
8. Nations and kingdoms will go to war against each other. There will be earthquakes in many places, and people will starve to death. But this is just the beginning of troubles.
