“ Then if anyone says to you,‘ Look, here is the Christ!’ or‘ There!’ do not believe it.For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.See, I have told you beforehand.“ Therefore if they say to you,‘ Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or‘ Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it.

Romans 11:7-10
