Three times in the Matthew 24, the Lord Jesus warns of false teachers and messiahs coming.

1. Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ, ’and will deceive many. (v. 4)

2. “… and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.” (v.11)

3. “For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect—if that were possible. See, I have told you ahead of time.”

Even though the Lord gave warning, it still amazes me that so many followers of these false messiahs.  Sad and tragic.
