{Take need that no man lead you astray} (Blepete m(8820)tis
h(966d)(8373) plan(8873)(8869)). Same words in  Mt 24:4 .  Lu 21:8  has it "that
ye be not led astray" (m(8820)plan(8874)h(8874)e). This word plana(935c) (our
_planet_) is a bold one. This warning runs through the whole
discussion. It is pertinent today after so many centuries. About
the false Christs then and now see on 烘t 24:5|. It is amazing
the success that these charlatans have through the ages in
winning the empty-pated to their hare-brained views. Only this
morning as I am writing a prominent English psychologist has
challenged the world to a radio communication with Mars asserting
that he has made frequent trips to Mars and communicated with its
alleged inhabitants. And the daily papers put his ebullitions on
the front page. For discussion of the details in verses  6-8  see
on 烘t 24:5-8|. All through the ages in spite of the words of
Jesus men have sought to apply the picture here drawn to the
particular calamity in their time.
