Matthew 24: 26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; do not go forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
This issue of curiosity deserves our attention, for according to the Scriptures, it would be a major factor when prime time comes around. In Jesus’ prophecy about end time events, He says that the devil will be making appearances worldwide, and as a result, the curiosity of some Christians may be aroused. Thus, to avert the temptations to follow up your curiosity with inquiry, Christ tells us not to go.
[The Great Controversy pp 624] As the crowning act in the great drama of deception, Satan himself will personate Christ. The church has long professed to look to the Savior’s advent as the consummation of her hopes. Now the great deceiver will make it appear that Christ has come. In different parts of the earth, Satan will manifest himself among men as a majestic being of dazzling brightness, resembling the description of the Son of God given by John in the Revelation. [Revelation 1:13-15.]
And His instruction means don’t almost go, whether it be via the breaking news, Snapchat, Instagram or Tik Tok, or any of the other social networks which bring the curious to your doorstep. The Christian should have no interest whatsoever in seeing satan, and if you were to go, contrary to God’s instruction, and things were to take a turn for the worse, folks could be led to question His justice in what God may permit, or what He may do.
Matthew 24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
