Matthew 24:23-26
“ Then if any man tells you,‘ Behold, here is the Christ,’ or,‘ There,’ don’t believe it.For there will arise false christs, and false prophets, and they will show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.“ Behold, I have told you beforehand.If therefore they tell you,‘ Behold, he is in the wilderness,’ don’t go out; or‘ Behold, he is in the inner rooms,’ don’t believe it.

Always keep their backs bent.”
