things to heart. I have been sending these true believers packing for years. The word must
have got out because they quit coming to my door. I still get an occasional faithful follower
every now and then. I can sit and talk to them and have never had an angry confrontation
with any of them. Here are a few that apply to the times now.


King James Bible
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.

If you are a Christian, you are part of the elect. Are you deceived?

King James Bible
They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think
that he doeth God service.


The Old Testament contains several warnings against false prophets. In Deuteronomy 18:20-22, God
provides a clear criterion for identifying false prophets: "But the prophet who presumes to speak a word
in My name that I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods—that
prophet must be put to death." The passage further instructs that if a prophet's predictions do not come
to pass, that prophet has spoken presumptuously.
