Matthew 24:24 “For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.”

The word “many” and “false prophets” appear together so often in Scripture that this tells us that there won’t be a lot or several of them but “many,” meaning not a few. Jesus warns us about this “many” in this same chapter of Matthew 24 where He says “and many false prophets will appear and lead many astray” (Matt 24:11). The Apostle John also says “many” (1st John 4:1), Peter says “many will follow” them (2nd Pet 2:2) and in Jeremiah’s day there were also very many so this is not a select few that the writers were talking about but “many false prophets” and there seems to be no shortage of them today just as Jesus warned that there would be “many false prophets” who will “lead many astray” or I would say they will lead many away…from the truth that is.
