Scripture Post #299: *FALSE CHRISTS*

Mark 13:

5 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you: 

6 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

Context: JESUS was speaking to HIS Disciples about the signs of all things being fulfilled here (Mark 13:3-6). 

I have heard that there have been several people to come out and say that they are JESUS CHRIST. That's interesting to me. Did you know that there's a preacher who claims to be JESUS CHRIST returned? Even Hip Hoppers have claimed to be JESUS CHRIST. I heard a preacher say that Snoop Dogg has a book where he claims to be JESUS CHRIST. And the rapper, Nas has a song where he says he's GOD's SON. Jay-Z raps and boasts to be JEHOVAH. Remy Ma (a female Hip Hopper) has a song where she claims she's Shesus Khryst (as in JESUS CHRIST). The blatant blasphemy in these Hip Hoppers is appalling! Is Scripture referring to these people, people who haven't yet come, or both?

Mark 13:3: "And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,"

V. 4: "Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?"

V. 5: "And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:"

V. 6: "For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many."

V. 7: "And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet."

V. 8: "For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows."
