1 John Chapter 2:

1 John Chapter 2:

18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.

21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.

22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.

23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.

24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.

Okay, I have a mighty revelation for you about this extremely significant and relevant passage of scripture. Now that is partly humor, and partly very, very serious. How is that? you may ask. Well, the humor part is that the mighty revelation is that the scriptures mean EXACTLY what is written! No hidden mystery. No lofty, secret allegory. It means just exactly what it says, as does all scripture. That's the mighty revelation. The very serious part of what I'm saying here is also exactly what is written. The thing that the beloved apostle was writing about here is as relevant and timely as anything in the Bible can be. This 'antichrist' philosophy is very prominent in the world today, and it is rising in power daily, thanks to the support of most of the prominent governing rulers in the earth today. I'm talking about Islam, which embodies the EXACT ideology which John calls 'antichrist' in the above passage. I will tell you here and now by the power and authority of the Lord Jesus Christ, that 'radical Islam' with all of its atrocities of terrorism, is an absolute decoy, to distract the entire world from the real problem.

The real problem facing the world today is Islam itself, and it's antichrist teaching that denies that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and that he died for my sins and yours, and that he rose from the dead to be become the Lord of heaven and Earth! THAT'S THE PROBLEM!! Jesus pointedly declared who he was and is with the following statement of absolute authority: "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me" (Jn. 14:6). BAM!! Now I got one believe what Jesus said! Allow me to explain in short order just how 'radical Islam' is even in existence. We know that "God is love," and we also know that Jesus clearly stated that NOBODY could join themselves to the Father apart from him (I Jn. 4:8). You've probably already figured it out just by that statement. Any ideology, philosophy, or whatever you want to call it; that straightly denies that Jesus is the only begotten Son of God that died for our sins, and rose from the dead, cannot possibly have one single shred of the love of God in it.

So then, what is it that has produced the murderous entity known as 'radical Islam?' You probably guessed it by now: It is ISLAM!! Of course!! Islam is quite simply the most contrary thing to the love that exists in the earth. Again, that is because Islam turns Jesus into something and someone that he is not; which is to say just a great prophet. Islam is antichrist just like the beloved apostle stated in the above passage of scripture. Antichrist also means anti-God as John clarifies to us. That means quite simply that Islam is anti-love. Plain and simple. So that is how an evil entity can exist, that is committed only to hatred and the murder of anyone who refuses to join it's hateful, murderous ideology. The bottom line is that as long as the world and it's governments allow Islam itself to exist and grow, radical Islam will prosper. It may suffer some damage but it will not go away. Anywhere that Islam is protected and promoted, violence will prevail. That is the nature of Islam, because it is antichrist and anti-love. What more can I say?
