Matthew 24:6
Thematic parallel · WEBYou will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you aren’t troubled, for all this must happen, but the end is not yet.
A reader might connect this report of war and military losses with Jesus’ warning that people will hear of wars and rumors of wars. The connection encourages sobriety rather than panic and should not be treated as proof of prophetic fulfillment or a claim about God’s timetable.
Read the surrounding context (Matthew 24:3-8)
As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age?” Jesus answered them, “Be careful that no one leads you astray. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will lead many astray. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you aren’t troubled, for all this must happen, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines, plagues, and earthquakes in various places. But all these things are the beginning of birth pains.
