Matthew 24:23

“Then if any man shall say to you, ‘Lo, here is the Messiah', or, ‘Here', do not believe it.”

Once again He warns of the dangers of false Messiahs, those who will pretend to be on earth as the ‘anointed of God' (see Matthew 24:5). For no such genuine Messiah will ever come. Thus whether they say ‘look here', or ‘look there' it will make no difference. The very fact that these Messiahs are on earth will demonstrate that they are not the Messiah (Who will have risen and ascended to glory, and will come in that glory). So whether it be out in the wilderness among separatists, or whether it be in secret conclaves in the great cities of the world, all such claimants must be rejected.
