Identifying Antichrist | 1 John 2:22-23

Lord's Day: Dec 29, 2024   Preacher: Carlos Montijo  Series: First John  Topic: End Times  Scripture: 1 John 2:18–23, John 10:27–28, James 2:26, Titus 1:16, 2 John 1:7, 1 John 4:1–3, 2 Corinthians 11:12–15, 2 Thessalonians 2:1–12 In the words of William Tyndale, the English Reformer whom God used to translate the Bible into English, and who was eventually betrayed and burned at the stake at the behest of King Henry VIII and the Pope: “…it is impossible to preach Christ, except thou preach against antichrist; that is to say, them which with their false doctrine and violence of sword enforce to quench [to suppress] the true doctrine of Christ. And as thou canst heal no disease, except thou begin at the root; even so canst thou preach against no mischief, except thou begin at the bishops [of Rome].” 18 Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared. From this we know that it is the last hour. 19 They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they were of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, so that it would be manifested that they all are not of us. 20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all know. 21 I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and because no lie is of the truth. 22 Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son. 23 Everyone who denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also. 1 John 2:18–23 We meet on Sundays for worship at 10:00am: ThornCrown Covenant Baptist Church4712 Montana Ave El Paso, Texas 79903 Contact us at: web: ThornCrownCovenant.Churchcall/text: (915) 843-8088email: [email protected] Scripture quotations taken from the (LSB®) Legacy Standard Bible®, Copyright © 2021 by The Lockman Foundation.
