- Matthew 24:5 Some think v 5-14 refer to events prior to the destruction of Jerusalem in a.d. 70; others, to birth-pains that started in the apostles’ day and continue until the end, which begins in v 14b; others, that Jesus intended a double meaning, one for the apostles’ day and one for the end-time when these birth-pains will precede the end.

Matthew 24:5-8
The Message
4-8 Jesus said, “Watch out for doomsday deceivers. Many leaders are going to show up with forged identities, claiming, ‘I am Christ, the Messiah.’ They will deceive a lot of people. When reports come in of wars and rumored wars, keep your head and don’t panic. This is routine history; this is no sign of the end. Nation will fight nation and ruler fight ruler, over and over. Famines and earthquakes will occur in various places. This is nothing compared to what is coming.
