TODAYS WORD IMPACT: In the Coming End Times Wednesday, March 12, 2014 Read | Mark 13:14-23 (v.21-23) And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ: or, lo, he is there, believe him not: for false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the very elect. But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things. Matthew Henry and Gills Commentaries: The Jews in rebelling against the Romans, and in persecuting the Christians, hastened their own ruin apace. Here we have a prediction of that ruin which came upon them within less than forty years after this. Such destruction and desolation, that the like cannot be found in any history. Promises of power to persevere, and cautions against falling away, well agree with each other. But the more we consider these things, the more we shall see abundant cause to flee without delay for refuge to Christ, and to renounce every earthly object, for the salvation of our souls. For false Christs and false prophets shall rise,.... As there did, both before and after the destruction of Jerusalem: and shall show signs and wonders; as they pretended to do, and did, at least to the appearance of people: to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect; who were chosen in Christ, unto eternal life; in consequence of which they truly believed in him, and were constant followers of him; but this was not possible: though such was the force of their deception, that there was apparent danger of it, were it not for the power and grace of God. (See Matthew 24:24).
