Mark 13:6 — Meaning and Application

Tell us, when shall these things be? and what {shall be} the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?

And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any {man} deceive you:

For many shall come in my name, saying, I am {Christ}; and shall deceive many.

And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for {such things} must needs be; but the end {shall} not {be} yet.

For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these {are} the beginnings of sorrows. {sorrows: the word in the original importeth "the pains of a woman in travail"}
