Warnings Issued by Jesus Matthew 7:15-20Matthew 7:15-20 –verse 15 Jesus warned His disciples of “false prophets.” These “false prophets” would pretend, through deception, to be true prophets of God.

Warnings Issued by Jesus Matthew 7:15-20Matthew 7:15-20 –verse 15 These prophets would come in “sheep’s clothing,” implying that what they would say and do would initially seem acceptable to the disciples of Christ. However, once they won the confidence of the disciples of Christ, these “false prophets” would feed upon and destroy the disciples of Jesus.

Warnings Issued by Jesus Matthew 7:15-20Matthew 7:15-20 –“You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit... Therefore by their fruits you will know them.” (v 16-18, 20)

Warnings Issued by Jesus Matthew 7:15-20Matthew 7:15-20 –verses 16-18, 20 How were the disciples of Jesus to distinguish a “false prophet” from a true prophet of God? Jesus told His disciples that they would know the “false prophet” by his fruits.

Warnings Issued by Jesus Matthew 7:15-20Matthew 7:15-20 –verses 16-18, 20 The disciples were to examine both the teachings and the actions of the “false prophet.” While a “false prophet” could speak great sounding words, eventually, his words and actions would reveal his deception.

Warnings Issued by Jesus Matthew 24:11Matthew 24:11 –“Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.” (v 11)

(Enhanced Strong’s Lexicon)

Warnings Issued by Jesus Matthew 24:11Matthew 24:11 –verse 11 Jesus warned His disciplies against the prophets not sent by God. These “false prophets” would pretend to be prophets of God, but would deceive and lead away those willing to give heed to their words.

It is likely that these people would be the followers of the “false christs” seen in verse 24.

Warnings Issued by Jesus Matthew 24:23-24; Mark 13:21-22Matthew 24:23-24; Mark 13:21-22 –“For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.” (v 24)
