Matt 24:9-14: Continuation of teachingon the signs that Christ informed the Disciples of as to what we as Believers should discern in our spiritual building into HIS character. As an articulation to the "sorrows (spiritual birthing pains) " stated in verse 8, we are given spiritual understanding to the things that begin to negatively happen around us, when our spiritual thinking and actions are being shaped after the character (Name) of Christ and how we must endure through it all to reach not only our perfecting (spiritual maturing), but also our Divine Salvation (deliverance to an eternal life). Other supporting scriptures mentioned in the teaching are: 1 Cor 3:6; 6:19; Rev 2:1-5; 2 Thess 2:3
