1. After Jesus left the temple, his disciples came over and said, “Look at all these buildings!”
2. Jesus replied, “Do you see these 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, his disciples came to him in private and asked, “When will this happen? What will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the world?”
4. Jesus answered:Don't let anyone fool you.
5. Many will come and claim to be me. They will say that they are the Messiah, and they will fool many people.
6. You will soon hear about wars and threats of wars, but don't be afraid. These things will have to happen first, but that isn't the end.
7. Nations and kingdoms will go to war against each other. People will starve to death, and in some places there will be earthquakes.
8. But this is just the beginning of troubles.
9. You will be arrested, punished, and even killed. Because of me, you will be hated by people of all nations.
10. Many will give up and will betray and hate each other.
11. Many false prophets will come and fool a lot of people.
12. Evil will spread and cause many people to stop loving others.
13. But if you keep on being faithful right to the end, you will be saved.
