The apostle John here: We never run out of anti-christs.
Had it not quite right about his being the “last hour.” Cut him some slack on that, if you’re smart. That is, don’t be too smart for your own (or anyone else’s) good. A distraction that, good stuff surrounding it.
As for antichrists, they come and go, and “were not really of our number; if they had been, they would have remained with us.Their desertion shows that none of them was of our number,” says John.
They came and went for the early church. Hmmm.
