Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.
9 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

@Carazaa Yes, and the "this Gospel", taken literally, means Matthew (since the quote is from Matthew 24)
And if you believe the references to Daniel in the next verse (Matt 24:15), Daniel 12:11 explicitly says
Those 6 years and change have LONG passed since "the time that the daily sacrifice [was] taken away".
In context, that passage has to have been fulfilled long ago.
And if you believe the references to Daniel in the next verse (Matt 24:15), Daniel 12:11 explicitly says
11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
