Warnings about Wolves

Before his departure, the Apostle Paul had some final words for the elders of the church of Ephesus. He warned them about enemy that was without, namely the false prophets who would try to enter the congregation and lead many astray. Paul likened these teachers of false doctrines to wolves, who would enter in and destroy the flock. Paul told the elders what they were to look for and how to identify the wolves.
