False Prophets



False Prophets






WHAT IS A FALSE PROPHET?

One who falsely claims the gift of prophecy or divine inspiration or claims they speak for God.

IN THE SCRIPTURES we are warned about the Second Coming with many false prophets.

We are warned, we must stay tuned up,
we must not fall away.


Warning;
There are many false prophets today!
They are everywhere, on TV, on YouTube, Bible commentaries, and book authors.

They are so subtle and convincing.

The Abomination of Desolation
Mark 13;14-23
14 “But when you see the abomination of desolation standing where it should not be” (let the reader understand), “then those in Judea must flee to the mountains. 15 The one on the roof must not come down or go inside to take anything out of his house. 16 The one in the field must not turn back to get his cloak. 17 Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing their babies in those days! 18 Pray that it may not be in winter. 19 For in those days there will be suffering unlike anything that has happened from the beginning of the creation that God created until now, or ever will happen. 20 And if the Lord had not cut short those days, no one would be saved. But because of the elect, whom he chose, he has cut them short. 21 Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘Look, there he is!’ do not believe him. 22 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, the elect. 23 Be careful! I have told you everything ahead of time.
