For there will come up false Christs, and false prophets, who will do great signs and wonders; so that if possible even the saints might be tricked.

Give no belief to false words: because there will first be a falling away from the faith, and the revelation of the man of sin, the son of destruction,

For with high-sounding false words, making use of the attraction of unclean desires of the flesh, they get into their power those newly made free from those who are living in error;

These are the men who make trouble, ever desiring change, going after evil pleasures, using high-sounding words, respecting men's position in the hope of reward.

And he took me away in the Spirit into a waste land: and I saw a woman seated on a bright red beast, full of evil names, having seven heads and ten horns,

To whom

Are you by chance the Egyptian who, before this, got the people worked up against the government and took four thousand men of the Assassins out into the waste land?

And a great number will go with them in their evil ways, through whom the true way will have a bad name.

Obeyed

If, then, they say to you, See, he is in the waste land; go not out: See, he is in the inner rooms; put no faith in it.
