Swalchy,

How should the Greek be interpreted for MattithYah (Matthew) 24:4-5?

Should these verses be interpreted as: There will be many men (women) that say they are the Messiah? Such as Jose Luis de Jesus Miranda in Florida.

Or should these verses be interpreted as: There will be many men (women) who say that Yahushua (Jesus) is the Messiah and they shall cause many to be deceived? Such as Rick Warren, Joel Osteen and probably everyone on TBN.

Or could/should it be interpreted both ways?

Below is your translation from your website:

And answering their question, Yahushua* said to them, "Mentally observe and perceive, discover and understand, look at, weigh carefully and make sure that no one and nothing leads and causes you to stray away, deceiving you and turning you away from the right way. For many shall come, arise and appear in view of the public in My Name, saying and teaching, maintaining and affirming, exhorting and advising, directing and pointing out; 'I am the Anointed Messiah*,' and they shall lead and cause many to fall into error and be deceived, leading them astray and turning many from the right path.

Also, thanks for your recent translation of Marcus (Mark). I have given a few people the URL to your website and they were very interested in your translations.
