False Prophets
“For there shall arise false Christs,
and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if
it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.” Matthew 24:24 KJV
“But there were
false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers
among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord
that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.” 2 Peter
2:1 KJV
“Beloved, believe
not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many
false prophets are gone out into the world.” 1 John 4:1 KJV
14 Because strait is
the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that
find it.
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's
clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of
thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a
corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a
corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down,
and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter
into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in
heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not
prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name
done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart
from me, ye that work iniquity.
Matthew 7:14-23 KJV
Believe the words of the Lord, false prophets
have arisen and will be very deceiving and even look like Christians. May we
all draw close to the Lord and focus on Him for He is our source and our
strength. Amen
