“And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.”
And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. The wars and rumors of wars that will precede the end are paired with the command not to be alarmed — the events must take place, but they are not the end itself. The must communicates the divine sovereignty over the events: they are not accidents but part of the framework.
