"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" (1 John 2:18 NASB). In this verse, John is letting us know that, one, it is the last hour, two, the antichrist is coming, and three, many antichrists have come so we can be certain that it's the last hour. John may not have known it at the time, but he was speaking prophetically about a day that I believe we are seeing right now. The spirit of antichrist, the spirit that is against Christ is here now, even in the church Christ means "the anointed one"; an antichrist spirit is against anything holy, pure, moral, and Christ like. John goes on to write: "They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, so that it would be shown that they all are not of us. But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all know. 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. 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" (1 John 2:19-22 NASB). The lie is in the denial that Jesus is the Christ. That is an antichrist spirit. David Forsythe takes us on a journey in his book about that spirit and how it has invaded so much of North America. We truly are in the time that the prophet Isaiah saw: "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter" (Isaiah 5:20 NASB). David talks about the coming cloud, which in fact is now here in a very thorough and thought-provoking way. Rev. Francis Armstrong Founding and Senior Pastor Third Day Worship Centre. Rev.
