The devil invoked Scripture? The devil twisted the Scripture. Christ was teaching what to expect.... Look what the devil offered Christ if Christ would bend His knee to the devil.

Yes, the devil invoked Scripture in twisting its meaning, and the Lord reproved Him by the correct use of Scripture, not by appeal to any authority of men or extraScriptural words as equal in authority, though Scriptural Truths can be so expressed.

Christ was tempted to teach us who the 'anti-Christ' is and who is going to be calling himself Jesus... and all but the elect are going to be deceived. First big lesson Christ gave us on His flesh journey. Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21 are Christ's own warnings as to what to expect as 'signs' of His return... Too many are thinking that 'war' is the sign to be looking for when Christ said that wars and rumors of wars were NOT the end.... Well if not wars and rumors of wars... then it is 'peace', 'peace', 'peace', when there is no peace... most especially spiritual peace.
