..Nations will fight
against nations; kingdoms will fight against kingdoms. There
will be hunger in the world, and earthquakes in different places. They
will hate you
because you believe in me. Many will lose their faith. There will be
more
evil in the world. But those people
who keep their faith until the end will be saved. God's kingdom will be
preached to every nation. Then the end will come. Matthew 24:7-14
