Wonders To Deceive

If there arises among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams, and he gives you a sign or a wonder,  and the sign or the wonder comes to pass, of which he spoke to you, saying, ‘Let us go after other gods’—which you have not known—‘and let us serve them'.  Deuteronomy 13:1-2

It does happen and we are warned to watch for the signs and lying wonders of the enemy. Many predict the future in various ways. Those who observe weather patterns predict what it will be like in a few days. Those who write science fiction extrapolate into the future the trends they see around them, and some have remarkable accuracy. However, there comes a type we are warned of much like the Israelites were in our scripture for today, that type who would lure the believer away from the Christ. Jesus said, "For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect." The elect are not so discerning in their own strength of course but are saved from this deception by the Spirit of God in them. 

We are safe in the hands of the Almighty!
