Matthew 24:26 Meaning – Believe it not

Such a Christ as is not the Son of Abraham and the Son of David, such a one as is not described to us in the Scriptures, is not to be looked upon, nor believed, nor esteemed of; such a Christ as is said to be locally present in the earth after Christ’s ascension a man should not go unto, nor believe any speech of such a Christ as shall be said to be in his body in the desert or in a chamber or in a box or in a wafer cake. Lo here, or lo there, or such like, as the Papists have their Christ, Believe it not, says Christ himself.
