Luke 6:
43 “For a good tree does not bear bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.
44 For every tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush.
45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

Warning Against Antichrists
18Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour. 19They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us.
20But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth.[d] 21I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it and because no lie comes from the truth. 22Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist—he denies the Father and the Son. 23No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.
Notice this:
22Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist—he denies the Father and the Son.
Any Religion or even some pseudo-Christians who deny Jesus as Lord and savior are antichrist or against Christ. (Buddhist, Dhal lama, wiccans, Hinduism, atheist, agnostics, antitheist, etc) There will be “THE ANTICHRIST” but before him is what I call “prototype antichrists”. Just like what it says in this:
1 John 2
18Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour. 19They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us.
Notice the pluralize word of antichrist (Thus “prototype antichrists”):
18Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour.
1 John 4
Test the Spirits
1Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.
2 John 1
7Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.Do you see evidence of ';false prophets'; today? If they exist today, who do you say they are?

They're the ones on television and in the pulpits of mega-churches saying, ';Send more money!';
half the people here on r%26amp;s are false prophets,better known as trolls!
Mathew 24:23%26amp;24
23.) Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or
there; believe it not.
24.) For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets,
and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that,
if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
In this book of Mathew Jesus tells us real signs of His coming.
But about the actual day and hour He says this:
Mathew 24:36
But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my father only.
Their are men in our past recent generation who have proclaimed the year of Christ return. These would be false prophets. Claiming they know what Jesus has made clear only the Father knows.
As far as false teachers, I think there are many. When a teacher or preacher does not listen to the Truth of the Holy Spirit, out of fullfilling their own desires.
Here in Cebu there is a huge church. The preacher openly and daily proclaims himself to be Jesus the Son of God. Returned. Has his own TV channel.
It is my understanding though I don't have a link , that there are presently 13 people with followings claiming to be the Messiah or Christ returned.
He said many would be deceived by these and it's come true, so many prophecy's have but still they don't believe.
Plenty of false prophets around, however, in Revelation we are told of THE False prophet. This is a special condition which points to a particular one. It is Muhammed which brought forth Islam. IF HE BE IN THE DESERT, go not forth.
I don't think he's on the world stage yet.
I always had a thought that the false prophet would maybe be in politics.
the false prophets always start out copiing the old prophets that con'd everybody back then too. what worked well at one time will do so again another time. anyone that speaks for god is a false prophet.

Absolutely!
In these latter times, humans have little need for a God they cannot see, hear, touch, or experience. They use their “belief” in God to assuage their inner longings to make sense out of a world gone amuck. The sale of self-help books (familiar spirits), which teach a person about “self-help” instead of how to help others less fortunate, dominates the book markets.
These are some of the “false prophets” of whom John writes. They set themselves up as one “trained” in the ministration of effective catharsis that relieves one of “their pains and their sores.” Their emotional fix lasts about the week their fee covers, after which, one must return and pay more money for an additional week of a temporary “feel good about myself” sensation. If one does not have a therapist (wizards that peep), he or she is considered in denial, and all the more in need of one—therapists see other therapists! Pure and lasting happiness is nowhere to be found in most of these attempts to “help-the-self,” as is evident every day, as hate increases and love waxes cold:
And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. (Matthew 24:10–12)
...The gospel of Jesus Christ, which includes unconditional forgiveness and loving our enemies as our friends, presents the only message anyone needs to know and understand in order to be happy. In contrast, anyone who does not teach this simple message is who John has referred to as a “false prophet.” Therefore, the term John uses (“false prophet”) always represents any person who claims to be good and teach truth, but who pollutes the pure and living water by teaching anything more or less than the simple message of Jesus Christ.
Even more than the spiritual gurus (“false prophets”) who invent breathing patterns, chakras, regions of the solar plexus, and other such nonsense (causing a person to concentrate and focus more on themselves than on how their chants and esoteric ways affect others), ministers of organized religion give an even clearer model of a “false prophet.” These dress in fancy clothes, drive fancy cars, live in expensive houses, and receive incomes and stipends from their church, all the while preaching of Christ and his gospel. The message these ministers give causes their congregations to desire (lust after) the things of the world by the examples they inadvertently set for them.
The followers are erroneously convinced that their leaders are “blessed” with riches from God because of their righteousness; therefore, they erroneously conclude that all who seek after the same riches that a “man of God” possesses, must surely be justified. They then believe these riches are condoned as righteous blessings of God.
What these leaders fail to point out from their adorned pulpits is that Jesus Christ and his apostles had very, very little in way of earthly possessions. These “false prophets” preach “family values” to their congregations, which is really only someone’s clever guise to subtly persuade any who will listen, to further divide themselves into families, nations, churches, or groups (selfishness). They do this by drawing on their own precepts and doctrines, and causing great inequalities and separation among God’s children, which in turn, evolves further into condemning others who are not of the same family, nation, church or group (hate).
Well did Christ speak of them:
The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat: All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not. For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi. (Matthew 23:2–7)
