LUKE 21 -signs at the end of the age.

then He said to them, "nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kinddom. there will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.................but make up your mind not to worry beforehand how you will defend yourselves. for i will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict.....all men will hate you because of me. but not a hair of your head will perish. by standing firm you will gain life.........there will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. on the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken.....when these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads because your redemption is drawing near.............................be careful, or your hearts wil be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you unexpectedly like a trap. for it will come upon all those who live on the face of the whole earth. be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the son of man"
