5: Warnings against the Antichrist (1Jn 2:18-27)

The Basics

Setting

From the start of the epistle, John has been warning the believers of the evil that opposes true fellowship with God. Sin, darkness, Satan, and the world can make a person blind and can cause him to stumble. Therefore, believers need to be aware of them. In this passage, John discusses another element of evil-the antichrist-in order to guard the believers against the deception of heresy.
