You can find below the details:

Matthew 24:6: "And you-will-be-about (to) hear (of) WARS and rumors (of) WARS. See (that) you are not alarmed! For (they) must take-place, but it is not-yet the end."

Revelation 13:4: "And they-gave-worship (to) the dragon, because he-gave the authority (to) the beast. And they-gave-worship (to) the beast saying, “Who (is) like the beast, and who can wage-war (polemēsai 4170 in Greek) against it?”"

Revelation 13:7: "And (authority) was-given (to) it to-make WAR against the holy (ones), and to-overcome them. And authority was-given (to) it over every tribe and people and tongue and nation."

(The Greek word for "wage-war" (polemeó 4170 in Greek, verb) used in Revelation 13:4 and the Greek word for "WAR" (polemos 4171 in Greek, noun) used in Matthew 24:6 & Revelation 13:7).



Matthew 24:19: "And woe (to) the (ones) having (a child) in (the) womb, and (to) the (ones) nursing in those days."

The parallel account in Luke reads: 

Luke 21:23: "Woe (to) the (ones) having (a child) in (the) womb, and (to) the (ones) nursing in those days. For there-will-be (a) great distress upon the land, and wrath (against) this people."

Luke 21:24: "And they-will-fall (by the) edge (of the) SWORD. And they-will-be-taken-captive (aichmalōtisthēsontai 163 in Greek) to all the nations. And Jerusalem will-be being-trampled by (the) Gentiles until which (time the) times (of the) Gentiles are fulfilled."

Revelation 13:10: "if anyone (is) for captivity (aichmalōsian 161 in Greek), he-is-going into captivity (aichmalōsian 161 in Greek); if anyone (is) to-be-killed with (a) SWORD, he (is) to-be-killed with (a) SWORD. Here is the endurance and the faith (of) the holy (ones)."

(The Greek word for "they-will-be-taken-captive" (aichmalótizó 163 in Greek, verb) used in Luke 21:24 and the Greek word for "captivity" (aichmalósia 161 in Greek, noun) used in Revelation 13:10 both come from the Greek word for "captive" (aichmalótos 164 in Greek, noun)).



Matthew 24:13: "But the (one) having-endured (hüpomeinas 5278 in Greek) to (the) end — this (one) will-be-saved."

Matthew 24:38: "For as in those days before the flood they-were eating and drinking, marrying and giving-in-marriage, until which day Noah entered into the ark,"
