What does the Bible say about the beginning of sorrows?

In Mark 13:1-8, Jesus speaks of the beginning of sorrows as a prelude to the coming judgment. He warns His disciples about the deceptions that will occur and the tumultuous events that will unfold, such as wars, famines, and earthquakes. These events serve as warning signs of a greater impending judgment that will come with His second coming. Instead of seeing these events as mere historical occurrences, believers are called to recognize them as tokens of God's righteous judgment upon a fallen world.
