O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest

them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gatherest her chickens under her

wings, and ye would not!

Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.

Matthew 23: 37, 38

And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall now be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown

down.

The destruction of Jerusalem occurred in AD 70.

BUT

Jesus told them when they saw Jerusalem surroundedwith armies to flee to the mountains, and they did!

(Luke 21:20, 21)

Not one Christian in Jerusalem died when Jerusalemwas attacked.

Some other things Jesus said would happen are:

False christsWars and rumors of wars

Nation rise up against nationFamines, pestilences, earthquakes

He said these were the beginning of sorrows.

You shall be afflicted, killed, and hated Many shall betray one another and hate one another

False prophets shall ariseIniquity abound

Love of many wax cold

BUT

He that endureth to the end would be saved

Persons will claim to be Christ and performwonderful miracles of healing.

Will this be Christ?

How can we know? They will claim to have revelations from God that contradict

Scripture.

Remember--Jesus answered Satan in thewilderness with scripture, and we must

know scripture so that we cando so also.

When Jesus comes again, it will be in a cloud,and he will not walk on the earth!

Acts 1:11

WE CAN’T BE DECEIVED!There is no possibility that Christ’s coming

can be counterfeited--it will bewitnessed by the whole world.

Jesus will not let you be deceived about this,but you must do what he says:

“Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret

chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning cometh out of the east,

and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”

(Matthew 24:26, 27)14

15

If you want to be safe from this strongdelusion of Satan (Satan will pretend

to be Jesus), you MUST notgo and see what is happening.You MUST not listen to his lies.

That is what Jesus said--we must notbe curious just to see what is happening.

We must refuse to go and stay far away from it, then Jesus will keep us safe.

Miracles will be done by God’s people, but they willnot say things different from God’s word.

HOW CAN WE NOT BE DECEIVED?

•THE SCRIPTURES ARE OUR SAFEGUARD

•WE MUST WATCH, STUDY, AND PRAY

•WE MUST LOVE TRUTH AND BE HUMBLE AND TEACHABLE (ISAIAH 57:15)

•WE MUST REFUSE TO GO WHERE ERROR IS TAUGHT--STAY AWAY FROM ANYONE CLAIMING TO BE CHRIST OR WHO TEACHES CONTRARY TO THE BIBLE
