The disciples wanted to know when would the time of the end come and what would be the signs. They came to Him privately asking for this information.

Quote:


3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”


We have to realize that Jesus is talking to His disciples and we can realize that as His disciples today He is telling us what will take place. The ones He is confiding this information to will not be present when it takes place as it is all future so this information is for all His disciples for all times.

What is interesting is the very first thing Jesus tells us:

Quote:



4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you.




Take heed that no one deceives you.

If there is any message that is all through the Gospels and the Epistles is that men will come as ravenous wolves with new doctrines that are not in the scripture.

Who is behind this twisting of Scripture? Its none other then satan who from the very beginning deceived Eve in the garden of Eden.

In Genesis we see:

Quote:



3 Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?”

2 And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; 3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’”

4 Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. 5 For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings.




The devil will always come with some small portion of scripture and twist it to mean something it does not say. That's why its important to look at the Bible and understand its plain meaning because we are told; "the Bible is of no private interpretation".

People in these end times will come with strange new doctrines and you'll always find that if you get in a discourse concerning what they are proclaiming, they tend to change the subject. If you cannot prove something with scripture then it all becomes mere speculation. Every Biblical doctrine will be plain for all to see and understand, and if the subject is getting constantly changed there is a direct influence of a spirit of confusion. Remember God is not the Author of Confusion.

The Spirit of God in these end times is not redefining what Jesus plainly tells us, the Spirit of God will always be in agreement with what Jesus has told us as His disciples.

When you become born again, you become a disciple of Jesus and what He says to one He says to all.

From the very beginning the devil has led men down the road of deception, Jesus had to deal with this when He was fasting in the desert for forty days. The devil would quote scripture out of context and Jesus would always give the clear meaning with scripture to refute the devil.

The Whole Bible is for us today as His disciples, and we can rest in the fact that God is not a man that He should lie nor the son of man that He should repent. The devil questioned what God said in the garden while talking to Eve and he questions what Jesus tells us in His word today.


John 10:13-15

13 The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep. 14 I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. 15 As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.


Jesus laid down His life for us, His sheep and He gave us His warnings in His word for us to keep and remember.
