Matthew 24:9

7 For ^anation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be ^bfamines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.

8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

9 ^a“Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake.

10 And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another.

11 Then ^amany false prophets will rise up and ^bdeceive many.

12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow ^acold.

13 ^aBut he who endures to the end shall be saved.

Matthew 24:9-12

I think this offense might be twofold, and this is just my thoughts on the scriptures as I went through the study. As I said earlier, truth, and specifically God's truth, offends. I could have gone to several scriptures where Jesus shows that the truth in God's way of life is very offensive to this world and those that are sinning. So I think that Matthew 24 speaks to God's truth offending, but I do think there is a human element as well, where people will simply be offended and betray one another and will hate each other. So those offenses will come in various forms.
