But Jesus said that many of these servants of God are false prophets. In the Church today, there are in fact many who prophesy, drive out demons, and perform miracles-all in the name of Jesus. But Jesus denies knowing them and even calls them “evildoers”. They call him “Lord.” While on earth they were able to prophesy in His name, drive out demons in His name, and perform many miracles in His name. “On that day”-meaning the Last Day-many servants of God who are actually false prophets will appear before Jesus. …22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you.

They hate us for our biblical Judeo-Christian values. The mainstream culture in the West is now offended by our faith in Almighty God who is holy and who holds people accountable. In America, unbridled carnal anger has given rise to young protesters and looters who are lawless. Moreover, we would be hated by all nations because of Jesus love would grow cold. 12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. 11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. 10 And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. Matthew 24:9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. Jesus said that many earthquakes would take place at the beginning of the Last Days. During a 7-day period in July 2020, it was reported that 85 earthquakes of at least 4.5 on the Richter Scale were recorded worldwide. Many prophecies, including those involving Israel, have been fulfilled. Today many are convinced that we are now in the very Last Days. …24 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. (NIV) 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ and shall deceive many. Matthew 24:3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”Ĥ Jesus answered: “ Watch out that no one deceives you.
