NASB | 1 John 2:18 ¶ 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. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 2:18 ¶ Children, it is the last hour [the end of this age]; and just as you heard that the antichrist is coming [the one who will oppose Christ and attempt to replace Him], even now many antichrists (false teachers) have appeared, which confirms our belief that it is the last hour. |
Subject: When will the Antichrist come ? |
Bible Note: That is an interesting conclusion. One I don't agree with since he clearly preaches Christ crucified and resurrected for our sins. Today we have people that move in the office of the apostle but they are not apostles. Likewise we have people that move in the office of the prophet but they are not prophets. I see most missionaries as moving in the office of apostle and likewise I see many ministers moving in the office of prophet as they fill their pastorial functions. I think MacArthur holds a similar view. |
