1 John 2:18-23

18Children, it is the last hour. Just as you heard that the anti-messiah is coming, even now many anti-messiahs have come—by this we know that it is the last hour.

19They left us, but they didn’t really belong to us. If they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us. But they left us so it became clear that none of them belongs to us.

20But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all know.

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

22Who is the liar, if not the one who denies that Yeshua is the Messiah? This one is the anti-messiah—the one who denies the Father and the Son.

23No one who denies the Son has the Father; the one who acknowledges the Son also has the Father.
