The Lord follows the aim of those who bring the question, and for now speaks about the completion of the present age. For before his descent from the heavens takes place, some forerunners will appear — false christs and false prophets molding his face around themselves — but do not follow them, he says (Matthew 24:4–5).
Greek
Ἕπεται τῷ σκοπῷ τῶν προσαγόντων τὴν πεῦσιν ὁ κύριος καὶ περὶ συντελείας τέως φησὶ τοῦ παρόντος αἰῶνος· πρὶν γὰρ τὴν ἐξ οὐρανῶν γενέσθαι αὐτοῦ κάθοδον πρόδρομοί τινες ἀναφανοῦνται, ψευδόχριστοι καὶ ψευδοπροφῆται τὸ αὐτοῦ πρόσωπον ἑαυτοῖς περιπλάττοντες, ἀλλὰ μὴ ἀκολουθήσητέ φησιν αὐτοῖς.
