Matthew 24:23-28 — “Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not…” The time immediately preceding the return of Christ will be characterised by great deception. There will be false Christs and false prophets who will perform great signs and wonders and thereby deceive many. There will also be reports that Jesus has returned in a secret fashion. In this part of the Discourse, Jesus warns His disciples not to believe it, for when He returns everyone will know!
