Now, having put us into the future, understanding that we’re looking at the time known as the Tribulation, that’s what our Lord calls it, the Great Tribulation, a time in the future just before Christ comes, what are the signs?  What are the signs to indicate His coming?  What are the signs to indicate the establishment of His kingdom?  What are the signs to indicate the end of man’s age and the beginning of God’s eternal, glorious kingdom?  What are the signs?  ~ John MacArthur

And Jesus answered them, “See that no one leads you astray.  ~ Matthew 24:4

And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. ~ Matthew 24:11
  

And they shall bear the punishment of their iniquity,….
Both the false prophet, and those that sought unto him, and were deceived by him; and which being laid according to the strictness of divine justice, is intolerable: sad is the case when a man is obliged to bear his own sins, and the punishment of them, and has no surety to undertake for him, and be a mediator between God and him, and make atonement for him:
 

the punishment of the prophet shall be even as the punishment of him that seekest unto him;
they being both alike culpable, each pursuing the desires of their own evil hearts; the one seeking for smooth things to be spoken to him; the other speaking them, in order to gratify him, and for the sake of gain; the one being a false prophet, and the other seeking to and inquiring of him, though he was such, slighting and rejecting the true prophets of the Lord; both being deceived, and both blind, and so should fall into the same ditch, being under the same judicial blindness and hardness of heart. The Targum is, “according to the sin of him that comes to learn and learns not; according to the sin of the false prophet shall it be.”  ~ John Gill

The Signs of Christ’s Coming, Part 1

 Matthew 24:1–3

Now, you understand that the whole of the Olivet Discourse is future.  Now, that is not to say that some of the things that will happen then don’t happen now, but they’ll happen then at a scale and on a level and on proportions that are far beyond anything we’ve ever known now.  We have war now, we have earthquake now, we have famine now, we have trouble in our world now, we have killing now, we have persecution now, we have hatred now, we even have some things happening in the sky that disturb us now, but nothing compared to the incredible display that’s going to take place in that compressed, brief period of time called the birth pains of the kingdom when God sends the earth into wracked pain as it brings forth the King in His kingdom.
