2. Economic trouble: famines
<p><b>Matthew 24:6-8 (ESV) </b>
<sup>6 </sup> And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet.
<sup>7 </sup> For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
<sup>8 </sup> All these are but the beginning of the birth pains.</p>
