His Repeated Warning

Jesus stressed critical information that is vital for his disciples if they wish to avoid deception by false prophets and other deceivers . Christ's discourse on the Mount of Olives includes instructions about the future. He warned repeatedly of the “ many deceivers ” and “ false prophets ” who would appear among his followers, spreading false information about his return and the end of the age and otherwise striving to mislead “ the elect .” Constant vigilance is vital for avoiding deception and apostasy.
