What is far worse than having to wait for an extended time for the Lord’s return, it to believe that he has returned and to act on it, when in truth he has not returned. That false step cripples the faith of a believer, and he must not be taken in by any false reports. The warning is very strong that we should not believe anything other than what has come out of the mouth of Christ in this matter, recorded in Scripture 2000 years ago. No new revelation will come on the subject is what Christ says here, and so any claim to freshly revealed truth can be dismissed without fear. Yes, we would fear if we thought we were dismissing a genuine message from the Lord, but he has protected us from deception by telling us these things in advance. It does not matter who we hear this from, or what signs they perform, or well they speak, or what others things they get right. We must not believe them. ‘Go not after them, nor follow them.’ They want you to become their disciples, and they lure you away with their lies. Do not be people of unstable mind who are taken in by them.
