The Sign of False Prophets

The Sign Of False Prophets !


Another of Jesus� end-times prophecies has been occurring around the world in the past 30 yrs. It is the increasing frequency of false prophets and false teaching. Jesus himself warned us�

"false prophets will arise �to mislead, if possible, even the elect" (Mt.24:24)

It is not only the proliferation of false prophets which is given as a sign of the end-times,
but also the fact that they when they appear, they will ��deceive many people.� (Mt.24:11)

Here is just a small sampling of popular false prophets from just the past 10 years�

Michael Redfield, author of the �Celestine Prophecies�. This New Age book sold over 5 million copies in 40 countries during the 1990s. http://www.equip.org/site/c.muI1LaMNJrE/b.2715937/k.B143/DC997.htm

Benny Hinn is an extremely popular healer and �Prophet� to many Pentecostals. In 1999 he told
Trinity Broadcasting Network � �You're going to have people raised from the dead watching this network� I see this in the Spirit.� These miracles have never occurred.

Sun Myung Moon declared himself in 2004 to be the Savior and Messiah of mankind.

Jesus said� �Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep, but are really wolves that will tear you apart.� - Matthew 7:15

Don�t forget that false prophets often smile the most and speak the gentlest! Here are 2 of those�

Joel Osteen , the �Smiling Preacher�, packs in about 45,000 people in his church in Texas every week! His books have sold millions of copies, but on national radio he denied that Jesus was the only way of salvation! http://www.av1611.org/osteen.html

Robert Schuller smiles almost as much as Joel Osteen, but also endorses New Age teachings!
