1. Jesus left the Temple and was walking away. But his followers came to show him the Temple’s buildings.
2. Jesus asked, “Do you see all these buildings? I tell you the truth. Every stone will be thrown down to the ground. Not one stone will be left on another.”
3. Later, Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives. His followers came to be alone with him. They said, “Tell us when these things will happen. And what will happen to show us that it is time for you to come again and for the world to end?”
4. Jesus answered: “Be careful that no one fools you.
5. Many people will come in my name. They will say, ‘I am the Christ.’ And they will fool many people.
6. You will hear about wars and stories of wars that are coming. But don’t be afraid. These things must happen before the end comes.
7. Nations will fight against other nations. Kingdoms will fight against other kingdoms. There will be times when there is no food for people to eat. And there will be earthquakes in different places.
8. These things are like the first pains when something new is about to be born.
9. “Then men will arrest you and hand you over to be hurt and kill you. They will hate you because you believe in me.
10. At that time, many who believe will lose their faith. They will turn against each other and hate each other.
11. Many false prophets will come and cause many people to believe false things.
12. There will be more and more evil in the world. So most people will stop showing their love for each other.
13. But the person who continues to be strong until the end will be saved.
14. The Good News about God’s kingdom will be preached in all the world, to every nation. Then the end will come.
