1 JOHN 2:18 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“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.”
Children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come; therefore we know that it is the last hour — the eschata (last hour, eschatas hora) declare the parousia's imminence. The many antichrists (polutoi antichristoi) are present manifestations of the final rebellion. Their presence confirms eschatological expectation.
