Matthew 24:23-28

23At that time, someone may say to you, “Look, here is the Messiah.” Or they may say, “There he is!” When they say that, do not believe them.

24Some people will say to you, “I am the Messiah!” Other people will say, “I am a prophet from God.” But their words will be false. They will do strange and powerful things for people to see. If possible, they would even deceive the people that God has chosen.

25So be careful! I have told you about these things before they happen.

26Some people may say to you, “Look, the Messiah is out there in the wilderness.” But do not go out to see who is there. Some people may say to you, “Look, the Messiah is hiding in that secret room.” You must not believe these people.

27Lightning shines quickly and it lights up the whole of the sky from one side to the other. It will be like that when the Son of Man returns.

28If the dead body of an animal is lying somewhere, vultures will come together in that place.
