Before Jesus went back to heaven, He warned His followers that toward the end of history, as we know it, false prophets would deceive many. We are warned not to follow them because there will be features surrounding their teachings that will mark them as different from the Bible teachings. One outstanding anomaly in the teachings of these false prophets is the practice of date-setting itself. We should immediately question anyone who comes to us with a date for Christ's return. Jesus did not leave us a date for His return, but He foretold what would transpire in space and on earth before His coming.
False prophets love to take advantage of peoples fears to win followers for themselves.
Many flock to them in fear for their lives. Do not be cynical of the true Gospel of God because of the many false prophets and teachers in the world. As the day of Christ's return draws nearer, the birth pains of this travailing planet increase with greater frequency. If you are a follower of Christ, you need not fear. Instead of walking away from Christ's message of love, walk away from devotion to that prophet of deception.
