Matthew 24:6-8. See that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquake, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.
One would think that there was sorrow enough in famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places; but our Lord said that all these were only "the beginning of sorrows" - the first birth-pangs of the travail that must precede his coming, either to Jerusalem or to the whole world.
