“For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.”
For many will come in my name, saying, I am the Christ, and they will lead many astray. The first deception: false messiahs who come in Jesus' name and claim the messianic identity. The many who are led astray communicates the breadth of the deception's success. The I am the Christ in Jesus' name communicates that the false messiahs will use the authority of Jesus' name to advance their claims.
