26 Behold, I speak these things unto you, for the elect's sake.
27 And ye also shall hear of wars, and rumors of wars; see that ye be not troubled; for all I have told you must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
28 Behold, I have told you before, wherefore it they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth; Behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
29 For as the light of the morning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west, and covereth the whole earth, so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be.
30 And now I show unto you a parable. Behold, wheresoever the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered together;
31 So likewise, shall mine elect be gathered from the four quarters of the earth.
32 And they shall hear of wars and rumors of wars. Behold, I speak unto you for mine elect's sake.
33 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom;
34 There shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes in divers places.
35 And again, because iniquity shall abound, the love of men shall wax cold; but he who shall not be overcome, the same shall be saved.
36 And again this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world, for a witness unto all nations, and then shall the end come, or the destruction of the wicked.
