‏ Matthew 24:6-7

v. 6: Jesus tells them they will hear about wars and rumors of wars, but they should not be alarmed or panic. These things must happen, but they do not mean the end has come right away. There will be trouble in the world, but Christians should not lose hope or give in to fear.

v. 7: He explains that nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines, diseases, and earthquakes in many places. These disasters are all part of the troubles that come before the end. Jesus wants his disciples to understand that such things are not a surprise to God.
