Deception and the End Times

Jesus gathered with some of His disciples on the Mount of Olives and explained events that would occur during the end times. He mentioned various signs to help us recognise the End of the Age. One of the first things Jesus warned his disciples about regarding the last days is "deception". He is not casually telling them to be aware that deception will exist but to take heed or watch (a primary verb in Greek). It is a command to be watchful. We need to guard against deception purposefully.
