Mark 13:22

MARK—NOTE ON Mark 13:22 On testing false prophets, see notes on Matt. 7:15–20; 1 John 4:1. Unlike Scripture, signs and wonders are not clear indicators of God’s presence (compare the actions of the Antichrist in 2 Thessalonians 2:7). Jesus’ remark that even the elect could be led astray emphasizes the stunning character of the false prophets’ miracles. But God will protect his own, so that they will not believe in a false messiah or prophet.
