I agree. But if Jesus made such an effort to warn about false prophets, maybe we should not get complacent during the rise of the beast.

I know I may sound crazy to some Christians but as I read the prophecy and study, it looks to me that we're about to head into the wilderness. And if we remember the recently, miraculously freed Israelites in the wilderness, they were losing their faith quickly when things got tough. Some chose to create idols. We should not be surprised if such things happen again from within the church. Let's face it, the church has adopted pegan rituals and false doctrines which will have to be forgotten before the Kingdom. (See Joel). Actually I think I should have said see Hosea. But both make references to the wilderness time before the Kingdom.
