Christendom is ripe with modern-day signs, wonders, prophets and apostles. It’s like Springtime and they’re a popin’ up all over the place. Today, if there aren’t miracles and words from prophets in a church, it’s condemned as dead.
Jesus said something interesting in His description of this age before it comes to an end:
False christs and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders, so as to deceive, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you beforehand (Matthew 24:24-25).
He said that a spiritual movement of falsehood would arise in the last days. It would be so powerful that it would even deceive God’s chosen people … if that were possible. In other words, these things will be a powerful deluding influence, but God’s people won’t accept the prophets, signs and wonders. Where do the signs and wonders come from? Jesus said they come from false christs and prophets and to accept these as truth is to be deceived.
If the Bible is God’s Word settled in Heaven …
and it is sufficient to make you wise for salvation (2 Timothy 3:15) …
and is profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, instruction in righteousness so that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work (2 Timothy 3:16-17) …
there is absolutely no reason for prophets, signs, or wonders today – except to deceive.
