From Luke. 21: 12-19
First of all, they will lay hands on you and persecute you, delivering you to synagogues and prison, and lead you before kings and rulers for my name;
it will be for you as a testimony.
So make it your heart not to think beforehand what to answer, for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries will not be able to contradict or resist.
You will also be betrayed by parents, and brothers, and relatives, and friends, and some of you will be put to death;
and you will be hated by everyone because of my name, but a hair from your head will not be lost; by your patience, save your souls.
Ambrose the Mediolan prelate
Interpretation of a group of verses: Luke 21: 9-15
No one but us can better testify to these heavenly verbs of the coming end of the world. How many wars and rumors of war have we heard! The Huns rose against the Alans, the Alans against the Goths, the Goths against the Typhalians and Sarmatians, the defeat of the Goths made us exiles in Illyricum.
And it's not over yet! A terrible famine befell everyone, a terrible pestilence among people, as well as among large and small livestock. So we, who did not get on the battlefield, the pestilence equalized with the fighters!
We live at the end of the century, (IV) and the diseases of the world precede the end of the world. The disease of the world is hunger, the disease of the world is pestilence, the disease of the world is persecution.
And in the 21st century, we also consider it the last.
