1 John 2:18-21 King James Version (KJV)
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.
1 John 2:18-21 New Life Version (NLV)
18 My children, we are near the end of the world. You have heard
that the false-christ is coming. Many false-christs have already
come. This is how we know the end of the world is near. 19 These
left us. But they never belonged to us. If they had been a part
of us, they would have stayed with us. Because they left, it is
known they did not belong to us. 20 The Holy Spirit has been
given to you and you all know the truth. 21 I have not written
to you because you do not know the truth. I have written because
you do know the truth and you know that no lie comes from the
truth.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
18 The end of the world could happen anytime no one knows when
but the Lord. False christs are those that claim Christ but
stand for themselves and their own message and not the Truth and
Jesus. There is many false teachers as time comes to and end.
The world at time was full of them teaching untruths trying to
be a leader themselves rather than people following Christ.
Today we still have this problem perhaps more than it was then
due to the quickness people can receive information today. False
teachers and false christs show that end of the world is near
due to Satan working so much, Satan does not even know when the
end is though.
19 Those that are truly in Christ may backslide but they will
always come back to Him because of their love for Him and
knowing nothing better than Him but those who are not of Christ
will fall away never to come back because they were following
after what seemed to be the Lord but was the idea of Jesus
instead of Jesus they were following religious ways rather
Christ and these ways they stopped following and ended following
other ways.
20 Having the Spirit shows we know the truth this does not mean
everything we know it truth but means we know the Lord and His
truth. We follow after this truth and after Him, we will never
lead us in lies it is often times believers may fall for lies
because they go their own way but the Lord is there for them to
turn to bring them back. We need to learn the scriptures and we
will not be as prone to fall for these lies of the false christs
and flase teachers the world has within it.
21 There is not lies within scripture it is truth, the Lord
never lies He is the truth and as long as we seek after Him we
can not fall into the lies of this world. There are going to be
many that try to corrupt the truth because of their hate for it
there will also be many that attempt to be little the truth for
the same reason.
