Matthew 24 — Context

But all these things are the beginning of birth pains.

Then they will deliver you up to oppression, and will kill you. You will be hated by all of the nations for my name's sake.

Then many will stumble, and will deliver up one another, and will hate one another.

Many false prophets will arise, and will lead many astray.

Because iniquity will be multiplied, the love of many will grow cold.

But he who endures to the end, the same will be saved.

This Good News of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.
