You are going to hear of wars and reports of wars; see that you are not terrified. For these things must take place, but the end is not yet.’”​—Matthew 24:4-6.

10. What about wars, and why were the disciples not to be terrified by such?

¹⁰ During this thirty-seven-year period there were to be a number of wars, within earshot of the disciples or merely reported to them in the news. But those wars, while affecting the situation of the Jewish nation, were not the ones that directly brought on the end of the Jewish system of things. So the disciples were not to be terrorized into taking any premature action. “The end is not yet.”
