Notice how much of the sign of His return is about deception, now in spiritual terms what would be the worst possible deception for a Christian?
Not sure... care to elaborate?

Christ said over and over again do not be deceived, so what is the *deception*? For a Christian that would be to follow another christ the instead of christ or what is commonly called the *anti-christ*, the pretender, the one that shows up first claiming to be Christ.
If Christians think they are not going to have to go through that tribulation cause they are sooooo good they are ripe for a deception of the one that is said will show up first, the pretender, crying Peace, Peace, Peace.
For a Christian to have Christ come as a thief in the night means they think He is already here cause they are no longer watching for His return.
Christ said there will be wars and rumor of wars, fear ye not. So if we are not to fear wars and rumor of wars what is the opposite, big daddy peacemaker.
Obviously the pretender is going to put on a deceptive show else why for the elect's sake would the *days* be shortened.
Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21 all basically tell the signs of His Return.
