28
전에는 내가 그들로 사로잡혀 열국에 이르게 하였거니와 후에는 내가 그들을 모아 고토로 돌아오게 하고 그 한 사람도 이방에 남기지 아니하리니 그들이 나를 여호와 자기들의 하나님인 줄 알리라
에스겔 39:28

3010. From this it is evident what is meant by 'the Christ' in Matthew,
See that no one leads you astray, for many will come in My name, saying, I am the Christ; and they will lead many astray. Then if anyone says to you, Behold, here is the Christ! or, There! do not believe it. For false Christs and false prophets will arise. Matthew 24:4-5, 23-24; Mark 13:21-22.
Here 'false Christs' means truths which are not Divine - that is, falsities - and 'false prophets' those who teach such falsities, 2534. In the same gospel,
Neither be called masters, for you have one Master, the Christ. Matthew 23:10.
'The Christ' stands for Divine truth. This shows what is meant by a Christian, namely one governed by truth derived from good.
Matthew 24:23-24
23
"Then if any man tells you, 'Behold, here is the Christ,' or, 'There,' don't believe it.
24
For there will arise false christs, and false prophets, and they will show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.
