False Christs Prior to Siege of Jerusalem - Matthew 24:23-28 - Steve Gregg

https://thenarrowpath.com | In this session on the Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24, Steve Gregg examines the possibility of impostors and false teachings that may arise before the Second Coming or the alternative interpretation of the siege of Jerusalem leading up to 70 AD. He notes the importance of discernment in recognizing true prophecies and warns against blindly following those who claim to be the Messiah. Gregg suggests that the term "lightning" in the passage may refer to radiance or brightness rather than a sudden event, and highlights the significance of the desert as a place of spiritual testing. Overall, Gregg emphasizes the need to stay grounded in biblical truth and to remain vigilant in our faith. | Transcript: https://opentheo.org/i/765611936653040092/matthew-2432-2428

Matthew 24:23-28
New King James Version
23 “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it. 24 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you beforehand.

26 “Therefore if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it. 27 For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 28 For wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together.
