The ‘FAMILY
HOMILY’ in John’s first epistle was our last blog but we skipped the special
message to the paidion in ch2 vv18
thru 27. Are they teenagers or new converts? They’re immature and in
danger of being deceived in the ‘last time’.
Heard of ‘the
antichrist’, soon to emerge on the world stage? Only
John names this guy as such, just like false brethren seducing with heresies.
Who is this ‘antichrist’?
Many
confidently claim he is the future leader of the revived Roman Empire (EU).
Others say he is the Catholic pope (who has facilitated the EU) but this
ignores the antichrist…
- denies Jesus is the Christ and…
- denies the Father & the Son
His real name was Ionnes, the Greek version of the Jewish
name Joannes, and his brother was Iakobos (James) from the very Jewish
name Yaakob (Jacob – Mr. Israel!).
Yup, these guys were Jews.
John also tells
us that Andrew identified Jesus as ‘the Messias’ and that Jesus identified
Himself to the Samaritan woman as ‘the Messias’. So where did John learn of
that title? The angel Gabriel told
Daniel about ‘thy city and thy people’ and ‘Messiah the Prince’ (Mashiyach: the anointed One). After Pentecost, John and Peter
resorted to the temple for prayer and apart from visiting Samaria, his ministry
was to the Jews. Just like the Messiah, John is a full-on Jew and there is no
mention of the Church in this letter.
This
is all very Jewish!
Do Gentiles tip anointing oil over presidents and prime
ministers?
(If you
research this ‘antichrist’ or false messiah carefully, you will find that he will be a
Jew by birth, a real snake-in-the-grass, a wolf-in-sheeps-clothing who will take over
the future 3rd temple. What will he be like?... aggressive and probably
a homosexual promoting a profane multi-faith dialogue. He’s even very likely to be a Muslim from
Iraq!)
What is the only
antidote? Being multi-faith?
The anointing from the Holy One…teaching the truth.
