2 Timothy 3:1–9But understand this: In the last days terrible times will come.1 John 4:1Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God. For many false prophets have gone out into the world.2 Peter 2:1Now there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves.2 Corinthians 11:13–15For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ.Jude 1:18when they said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow after their own ungodly desires.”2 Thessalonians 2:3–12Let no one deceive you in any way, for it will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness—the son of destruction—is revealed.2 Peter 3:3Most importantly, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires.Jude 1:4For certain men have crept in among you unnoticed—ungodly ones who were designated long ago for condemnation. They turn the grace of our God into a license for immorality, and they deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.2 Corinthians 11:3I am afraid, however, that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may be led astray from your simple and pure devotion to Christ.2 Thessalonians 2:11For this reason God will send them a powerful delusion so that they believe the lie,2 Timothy 3:13while evil men and imposters go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.1 John 4:6We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. That is how we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of deception.2 Timothy 4:4So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.1 John 2:18Children, it is the last hour; and just as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have appeared. This is how we know it is the last hour.Revelation 16:14These are demonic spirits that perform signs and go out to all the kings of the earth, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God the Almighty.Matthew 24:11and many false prophets will arise and mislead many.Revelation 2:11He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who overcomes will not be harmed by the second death.John 16:13However, when the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth. For He will not speak on His own, but He will speak what He hears, and He will declare to you what is to come.
