Go Not After Them, Nor Follow Them (Luke 17:23)

And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them. (Luke 17:23)

The Lord tells us this as He elaborates about His second coming. There will be false prophets that claim to be Jesus Himself or that they are some kind of messianic figure. The Antichrist himself would be one such figure, but we see there are others as well.

Don’t follow them. Jesus describes His return: “For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day” (Luke 17:24). When He returns, it will be obvious. He will be revealed from heaven. Everyone else is an impostor.
