Matthew 24:3-7
3) As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign of your coming, and of the end of the world?"
4) Jesus answered them, "Be careful that no one leads you astray.
5) For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,‘ and will lead many astray.
6) You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you aren‘t troubled, for all this must happen, but the end is not yet.
7) For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines, plagues, and earthquakes in various places.
Revelation 16:16

Revelation 19:11-21
11) I saw the heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it is called Faithful and True. In righteousness he judges and makes war.
12) His eyes are a flame of fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has names written and a name written which no one knows but he himself.
13) He is clothed in a garment sprinkled with blood. His name is called "The Word of God."
14) The armies which are in heaven followed him on white horses, clothed in white, pure, fine linen.
15) Out of his mouth proceeds a sharp, two-edged sword, that with it he should strike the nations. He will rule them with a rod of iron. He treads the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty.
16) He has on his garment and on his thigh a name written, "KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS."
17) I saw an angel standing in the sun. He cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the sky, "Come! Be gathered together to the great supper of God,
18) that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave, and small and great."
19) I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him who sat on the horse, and against his army.
20) The beast was taken, and with him the false prophet who worked the signs in his sight, with which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshipped his image. They two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.
21) The rest were killed with the sword of him who sat on the horse, the sword which came forth out of his mouth. All the birds were filled with their flesh.
