shall these things be? And what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end
of the world?’ And Jesus answered and said unto them, ‘Take heed that no man
deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ, and shall
deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that ye be not
troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For
nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there shall
be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes in diverse places. All these are the
beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall
kill you, and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. And then shall
many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because
iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure
unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be

Rooted and built up in Him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught,
abounding therein with thanksgiving. Beware lest any man spoil you through
philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the
world, and not after Christ. For in Him dwelleth all the fullness’ of the
Godhead bodily; and ye are complete in Him, which is the head of all
principality and power. (Colossians 2:1−10)
In the Gospel of Matthew it is written that:
When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples,
saying, ‘Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?’ And they said, ‘Some
say that thou art John the Baptist, some, Elias, and others, Jeremias, or one of
the prophets.’ He saith unto them, ‘But whom say ye that I am?’ And Simon
Peter answered and said, ‘Thou “art the Christ” the Son of the living God.’ And
Jesus answered and said unto him, ‘Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh
