Matthew 24:5-7

Contemporary English Version

⁵ Many will come and claim to be me. They will say they are the Messiah, and they will fool many people.

⁶ You will soon hear about wars and threats of wars, but don't be afraid. These things will have to happen first, but that isn't the end. ^7 (A) Nations and kingdoms will go to war against each other. People will starve to death, and in some places there will be earthquakes.
