Matthew 24:23-26
Then if anyone says to you,‘ Behold, here is the Christ,’ or‘ He is over here,’ do not believe him.For false christs and false prophets will arise and will provide great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.Behold, I have told you in advance.So if they say to you,‘ Behold, He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or,‘ Behold, He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe them.
