Mark 13:7

In The King James Version

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.

In Context

8I am telling you straight. People from different countries are going to fight each other and people from different tribes are going to fight each other too. There will be earthquakes everywhere. There will not be much food and everybody will be really hungry. You know how a woman starts to have pain when she is going to have a baby, it is a sign that the baby will be born. Like that again, when all these bad things start to happen, they are the signs to look out for. And you will know that there will be even bigger trouble coming.
