Jesus warned and Paul reminded us. “Don’t let anyone deceive you.” Could a blatant lie deceive you?” Are you immune to coming deception that will take hold upon the entire planet?

Herod’s Temple: Jesus said, not one stone left… true?
Jesus’ disciples marveled at the buildings of Herod’s temple. As the friends of Jesus walked through the courtyards of Herod’s Temple, they boasted of what they saw to the Lord.
