themselves will not lift with
their fingers

for to be seen of men; they
make broad their
phylacteries, and enlarge the
borders of their garments

room at feasts, and the chief
seats in the synagogues,
HYPOCRITE

The work of Hypocrite were
done to be seen by others ,
whatever good they do, or
zeal they show, has but one
motive- human applause

domination by any man has
no place in Christianity the

equals (brethren)

these ought ye to have done,
and not to leave the other

HYPOCRITES
WOE UNTO YOU PAY TITHE
The Religionist observed the
ceremonially with all possible
exactness, while they utterly
neglected the eternal,
undisputable, indispensable
precepts of righteousness:
JUDGMENT, MERCY AND
FAITH

to others, as administration
of justice in courts of
judicature, putting in
execution good judgment,,
neighbors, citizens, giving to
all their just dues

extortion and excess
26) thou blind Pharisees,
cleanse first that which is
within the cup and platter,
that the outside of them may
be clean also

and Pharisees, hypocrites!
For ye are like unto whited
sepulchers, which indeed
appears beautiful out ward,
but are with full of all
uncleanness

appear righteous unto men,
but within ye are full of
hypocrisy and iniquity
HYPOCRITE
WOE- the false teachers and
religionist for you clean the
out side of the cup and the
plate, but inside are full of
extortion and robbery and
extreme greed

attention to ceremonial
outwardly cleansing,
appearing upright and holy
but inwardly remaining full of
corruption and greed, l
FULL OF EXTORTION AND
EXCESS-The outside
appeared well, while inside
was filled the fruit of
extortion, oppression and
wickedness.
They make show of a pure
and clean soul, but under it
lies hid a leprosy: they are
vessel full of uncleanness
they are outwardly washed
with the water of fraud and
craftiness
THAT THE OUTSIDE OF THEM
MAY BE CLEAN ALSO
The great concern of all men
should be, inward purity, that
their hearts be purified by
faith in JESUS CHRIST

11)And many false prophets
shall arise, and shall deceive
many
12) And because iniquity
shall abound, the love of
many shall wax cold
13)But he that shall endure
unto the end, the same shall
be saved
MANY FALSE PROPHETS
SHALL RISE
FALSE CHRISTIAN TEACHERS
False prophets claimed to
receive message from GOD,
but they preach wealth, they
say what the people want to
hear, even when the nation is
not following GOD.
Many will accept “new
revelation” even though it
conflicts with the revealed
word of GOD, men of
heretical principles, 18
pretending to be a spirt of
prophecy
This will lead to opposition
to the Biblical truth within
the believer’s fold, those who
preach distorted gospel may
even gain strategic
leadership position in the
Christian circles
Throughout the world
millions will be involved in
the occult, astrology,
Witcraft, spiritism, and
Satanism, the influence of
demons and evil spirit will
multiply greatly
AND BECAUSE INIQUITY
SHALL ABOUND
The error and heresies of
false teachers and the
wickedness that prevailed in
the lives of some called
Christians might make up the
iniquity
THE LOVE OF MANY SHALL
WAX COLD
This will be case of many
whose passion and love for
JESUS CHRIST through the
deceitfulness of the principle
of, the power of godliness
and the vital heart of religion,
will be almost lost due to
false teachers love of the
world, and of fleshly ease
and pleasure .
The real believers in CHRIST,
who might fall under great
decays, through prevalence
of iniquity, their love shall be
lost, but wax cold
