John the Baptist preached the Kingdom of God was at HAND!!!
Jesus preached the Kingdom of God was at HAND!!!
In 1st John chapter 2, the Apostle tells the Church, that it is the last time, and that there are already antichrists in the world. These antichrists that John speaks of, are not the kind of Endtime hooey. They are Judaizers, and Paganizers that once been part of the church, and then left in apostacy.
The Christian Tradition of the Elders teach that the Antichrist is the Beast of Revelation 13, and also the Man of Sin in 2nd Thessalonians 2:3.
When we re-examine the scriptures we find that 1st John 2:18, 2nd Thess 2:3 have nothing to do with Revelation 13:18.
One only needs to study this out carefully to see the truth, and expose the Tradition of the Elders.
