KEY VERSE: Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time – 1 John 2:18
TEXT: 1 John 2:18-19 (KJV)
18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE:
Every time a young boy went over to his friend’s house to play, he saw his friend’s grandmother sitting quietly, reading her Bible. He asked his friend why she was always reading it, and the friend said he didn’t know for sure but thought that she might be studying for her finals.
We may as well need information that might help us start studying for the real finals. There is no doubt that we are currently living in the very last days of the last times. John, the aged disciple of Jesus Christ, wrote this epistle to believers in his day, warning them about the last times and the coming antichrist. He used the incident of the backsliding and apostasy of some of the believers in his time to illustrate how close they were to the end – the departure of some from the faith being one of the signs of the end-time. This closely relates to what he heard from Jesus himself, where He predicted the incident of the love of many waxing cold as one of the signs of the end-time.
It is believed that John wrote this epistle between 90 and 95 AD, predicting the end of the world. There are other end-time signs predicted in the Bible that are not specifically mentioned in this short passage. For instance, it is indicated that there will be wars, political instability, famines, earthquakes, betrayal, hatred for Christians, imprisonment, death, and a decline in morality. False prophets and heretical teachings are also mentioned. The spread of the gospel has already occurred, facilitated by the internet and social media. Some churches today are like a clubhouse, with liberal and progressive bishops ordaining anyone into the priesthood, including people with outlandish beliefs and practices.
The end is truly near. Believers need to look up; our Redeemer is coming. We need to keep our garments pure and white and our hearts fixed on things above as we expect the Lord to take His own. The rapture is the next event the saints now earnestly await. Closely followed by the Great Tribulation, where the Antichrist will be fully revealed. How ready are you?
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
It is too risky to remain a lukewarm believer at this last hour.
