From the book “Truth For Today: A Daily Touch of God’s Grace” by John F. MacArthur

False christs and false prophets will rise and show signs and wonders to deceive. - Mark 13:22

False prophets have been around since the beginning of redemptive history (see Deuteronomy 13:1-5), and they always find a hearing. In His Olivet Discourse, Jesus warned, “‘Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name. . . and will deceive many'” (Matthew 24:4-5). Years later the apostle John told his readers that “many deceivers have gone out into the world” (2 John 7).

False prophets have enjoyed some degree of popularity because so many people do not want to hear the truth. Thus John admonished all believers, “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world” (1 John 4:1).
