Matthew 24:4 “And Jesus answered and said to them: "Take heed that no one deceives you.”
The above scripture, records the opening statement made by our Lord Jesus, when He taught us on the subject, of the end times. It is important to note, that there is only area recorded in the bible, that the Lord warned us not to be deceived about, and that is the subject of the end times. The reason that our Lord warns us in this area, is because this is the one area, where the saints can more easily, be deceived. And I want you to also note, that the Lord places the onus on His saints, to ensure that they are not deceived. The reason He does this, is because He has given us more than enough signs to look for, relating to the end times, that will prevent us from being deceived. And so, in this series we will plainly list those end time events as revealed in scripture, so that no saint need be deceived, in these last days. Before the church age, many of the mysteries of God were hidden, but the moment the church was born, God began to reveal His mysteries to the saints, by His Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:10). Part of the mysteries of God, are what will take place in the latter days. It is not the will of God, that the church be ignorant of latter day events. You will recall, that our Lord Jesus said that He no longer calls us servants, but rather His friends. For He said, that a servant does not know what His master is doing, but all things that He has heard from the Father, He has made known to us (John 15:15). The whole book of Revelation, was given by God to our Lord Jesus Christ, to show His church, events which must take place in the later days (Revelation 1:1). God certainly wants His children to have full understanding of the end times.
