Luke 21:8

Temple Destruction and Other Signs

7“Teacher,” they asked, “when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to take place?”8Jesus answered, “See to it that you are not deceived. For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Do not follow them.9When you hear of wars and rebellions, do not be alarmed. These things must happen first, but the end is not imminent.”
