Did Bible forewarn this?
< Yes. (Biblical)
Matthew 24:5 Many will come and claim to be me. They will say that they are the Messiah, and they will fool many people.
...
Mat 24:23 Someone may say, "Here is the Messiah!" or "There he is!" But don't believe it.
Mat 24:24 False messiahs and false prophets will come and work great miracles and signs. They will even try to fool God's chosen ones.
Mat 24:25 But I have warned you ahead of time.
Mat 24:26 If you are told that the Messiah is out in the desert, don't go there! And if you are told that he is in some secret place, don't believe it!
Mat 24:27 The coming of the Son of Man will be like lightning that can be seen from east to west.
