The False Prophet

So it is that we, as Christians, must be prepared for the things to come. It is no mistake that Jesus talked about false prophets a lot. You should begin to see how these things are unfolding, but take comfort in this: we win in the end, because Christ has already defeated the enemy and He sits, now, at the right hand of God, as eternal King.

"Nothing so much prevents men from entering the strait gate, and becoming true followers of Christ, as the carnal, soothing, flattering doctrines of those who oppose the truth. They may be known by the drift and effects of their doctrines. Some part of their temper and conduct is contrary to the mind of Christ. Those opinions come not from God that lead to sin." –Matthew Henry
