1A Prophecy About the FutureNow the Spirit says clearly that in the last times some people will abandon the faith by following deceitful spirits, the teachings of demons,Dan 11:35, 37-38; John 16:13; 2Thes 2:3; Dan 11:35, 37-38, 2Tim 3:1, 13; 1Pet 1:20; 2Pet 2:1; 3:3; 1John 2:18; Jude 1:4, 18, 37-38, 2Tim 3:1, 13; Rev 9:20; 16:142 Timothy 3:1
