Matthew 24:24-28 says, "For false Christ’s and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect. Behold, I have told you in advance. So if they say to you, 'Behold, He is in the wilderness,' do not go out, {or,} 'Behold, He is in the inner rooms,' do not believe {them.} For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes even to the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be. Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather."
We live in a century where it's pretty much "every man for himself" and it even holds true in the pulpits of some of our churches today, including the church followings we are seeing on the internet such as Face book, My Space, Twitter and many other means of communication. Jesus warned His disciples to be weary of those "False Prophets" and we must do the same today.
Way too many people have created a following that they refer to as a "following for Christ" but we must ask questions, get understanding, and discern motives of those who would try to lead us astray.
2 John 9, 10 says, "Anyone who goes too far and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God; the one who abides in the teaching, he has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, and do not give him a greeting".
So why do we so often stand at the door and attempt to argue with Jehovah’s Witnesses or those bike peddling young Mormon Missionaries? God said "Do NOT even give them a greeting. I don't say to them "may God bless you". I don't want God to bless them; I want Him to deal with them. I want NOTHING that they have to present; in fact, I have something to present to them. That which is of the truth of God and not a lie.
All indications are that the Lord, Jesus Christ is so, so close to returning for His Church and Believers and we need to be in His Word, understanding the difference between a true prophet and one that is false. Stand up; Stand up, for Jesus Christ...for He is THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN!
