For if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ Do not believe it. For FALSE CHRISTS and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.”- Matt 24;23-26; Mark 13:22
The unbelieving Jews expected the Messiah to come and establish a physical kingdom on earth for the nation of Israel. They looked for the Messiah to be a conqueror that would lead them into battle and bring victory to Israel over its enemies, which at that time was the Roman Empire in the first century AD.
At His trial, Jesus told Pontius Pilate that His kingdom was NOT of this world. -John 18:36 Jesus had previously told the Pharisees with His disciples present that the kingdom would come as a spiritual kingdom, not a physical kingdom. those who believe in a physical kingdom for Israel, are advocating something that CHRIST REJECTED! That was the position of the FALSE CHRISTS and FALSE PROPHETS in the first century. Jesus said DO NOT LISTEN TO THEM OR FOLLOW THEM.
Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The Kingdom of God DOES NOT COME WITH OBSERVATION; nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN IN.”- Luke 17:23
So, the key to understand prophecy is to know that Jesus TAUGHT SPIRITUAL THINGS, while the FALSE CHRISTS AND FALSE PROPHETS taught physical things. In 70ad, God brought complete destruction to the physical city of Jerusalem and the physical temple, which was part of the ceremonies, days and rules (aka: old heavens and old earth).
Christ then fully established His new spiritual kingdom under the New Covenant (aka: the new heavens and earth), which is about grace and faith in Christ. It is within all born again Christians going forward in human history.

FALSE PROPHETS
There is a difference between “false christs” and FALSE PROPHETS. False christs represent themselves as false messiahs. FALSE PROPHETS work signs and teach lies to deceive. They also predict events, near and future, that are NOT TRUE and DO NOT COME TO PASS.
In 30ad, prior to the second coming Parousia of Christ in 66-70ad, the Lord told His disciples that there would be FALSE PROPHETS showing great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
“Then many FALSE PROPHETS will rise and deceive many.”- Matt 24:11
For false christs and FASLE PROPHETS will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. – Matt 24:24
Now these FALSE PROPHETS about whom the Lord was talking about were Jewish. They showed signs and wonders to deceive the Jews about Christ as the Messiah. Some of them specifically worked under the influence of Satan to deceive the Jewish people to go to war against Rome. Some of these FALSE PROPHETS at the time were the leaders of the Jewish Zealots; and the Jewish High Priests from Caiaphas, who condemned Jesus in 30ad; through Phinehas in 68-79ad.
But there are also FALSE PROPHETS among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who brought them, and bring them on themselves swift destruction.”- 2 Pet 2:1
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God’ because many FALSE PROPHETS have gone out into the world.”-1 John 4:1
At the second coming of Christ there were FALSE PROPHETS that John described in His Revelation. This occurred in the first century and was at the time of Christ’s final judgements.
And I saw a beast, the king of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army. Then the beast was captured, with him the FALSE PROPHET who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshipped his image. These two were CASE INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE burning with brimstone. ” Rev 19:19-20
Jesus taught the Jews and His Apostles that there would be FALSE PROPHETS who would continually come forward to deceive in that first generation. He said that they would be able to identify these as FALSE PROPHETS by their fruits.
“Beware of FALSE PROPHETS, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistle? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but every bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the Lake of Fire. THEREFORE, BY THIER FRUITS YOU WILL KNOW THEM. -Matt 7:15-20
At the time of destruction of the City of Jerusalem and the temple the Judgements of Christ were carried out. The devil and the FALSE PROPHET were cast into the Lake of Fire to be tormented day and night forever and ever. This occurred in 70ad.
“Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, God and Magog, to gather them together to battle, (Jewish-Roman war), whose number is the sand of the sea. They went up on the breadth of the earth (land of Israel) and surrounded the camp of the saints (Jews) and the beloved city (Jerusalem). And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them. The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the FALSE PROPHET are. And they will be TORMENTED DAY AND NIGHT FOREVER AND EVER”- Rev 20:7-10

I skipped a few lessons ahead because I am seeing a Lot of FALSE CHRISTS AND FALSE PROPHETS trying to hijack the true scriptures with lying signs and wonders. I see a lot of Jewish and Islamic mystism creeping into people’s heart, minds and souls and its quit frustrating. All the “end times” madness was created via evil hearts redesigning the actual scriptures. I mean come on folks, True, Christ believers ought to see right through all this fallacy! Nothing going on today is prophecy period! These evil hearts KNOW THE SCRIPTURES better than most of us… and all they are doing is falsifying it to do what? DECIEVE THE NATIONS again! And anyone continuing in this false prophesying is literally adding and embedding the enemies! I’d quicky repent NOW!
I testify and warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book [its predictions, consolations, and admonitions]: if anyone adds [anything] to them, God will add to him the plagues (afflictions, calamities) which are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from or distorts the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away [from that one] his share from the tree of life and from the holy city (new Jerusalem), which are written in this book.- Rev 22:18-19
And let us remember that FALSE CHRISTS and FALSE PROPHETS were stoned and killed if their words did NOT COME TO PASS! Let us also remember that the counterfeit prophecies of NOW are to bring us all back under the O.T system so stoning and beheading will be their government. I suggest we all stop playing with fire.
If we don’t understand the WHOLE POINT OF THE SCRIPTURE AND THE WHOLE PROPECY BEING CHRIST AND HIS FULFILLMENT OF ALL OF IT, THEN WE WILL FORVEVER REPEAT THE SAME DEMONIC AGENDA OF NOT MAKING CHRIST ENOUGH! If we still have NOT made HIS GRACE SUFFICIENT for us, then we are no better than the Pharisees!
As a repeat of this lesson: “the key to understand prophecy is to know that Jesus TAUGHT SPIRITUAL THINGS, while the FALSE CHRISTS AND FALSE PROPHETS taught physical things.”
Ever notice how all false religion does is speculate a physical future kingdom; yes, I realize that is what most people believe, due to mishandling of the Holy Spirit inspired scriptures hugely influenced by doctrines of man.
So, I will end this with a warning, if anyone else comes to you with another Gospel do NOT beleive them and remember these words:
“But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed.- Galatians 1:8
“For if someone comes and proclaims another Jesus than the one we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it readily enough.”–2 Corinthians 11:4
“I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed.“ Galatians 1:6-9
“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.”1 John 4:1
These verses emphasize the importance of discernment and adherence to the true gospel message. It warns against accepting teachings that deviate from the core principles of Christ! Remember, truth matters, and we should diligently seek it in our spiritual journey.
