For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ--(see Mat 24:5) --"and the time draweth nigh" (Luk 21:8); that is, the time of the kingdom in its full splendor.
and shall deceive many--"Go ye not therefore after them" (Luk 21:8). The reference here seems not to be to pretended Messiahs, deceiving those who rejected the claims of Jesus, of whom indeed there were plenty--for our Lord is addressing His own genuine disciples--but to persons pretending to be Jesus Himself, returned in glory to take possession of His kingdom. This gives peculiar force to the words, "Go ye not therefore after them." |
