In Matthew’s version of the Olivet Discourse, verse 24 must also be interpreted in light of verses 10 and 11 where the same term in a different form (planasousin) is used. BEFORE the ultimate false prophet points people to the ultimate Antichrist, false prophets will already be deceiving the church and many who had a true faith will “stumble” in it (literally “be scandalized” by spiritual seduction in verse 10; usually translated as “will fall away” but the actual term is not apostacize, although it inherently carries that implication).

And that is exactly what is happening within the emergent church movement too.
