Luke 12:1 In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, He began to say unto His disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
This is as today....first He speaks to His elect and warns that there is great hypocrisy among the Pharisees...among those professing, believing, they are followers. "Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in My name, saying, I am Christ;" [Luke 21:8] Many come to us in His name saying they are Christ-ian.
This "innumberable multitude" are those still under the influence of the whore...still needing to make a decision....
The day of the Lord is near! We cannot allow ourselves to be influenced by hypocrisy, by the teaching of today's Pharisees. It is a time of prayer, supplications...cries for mercy and repentance. A time to hear His commandments and...KEEP THEM!
