Fellowship with God: Anointed Living in the last hour

1 John 2:18–22 CSB

Children, it is the last hour. And as you have heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. By this we know that it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they did not belong to us; for if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us. However, they went out so that it might be made clear that none of them belongs to us. But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth. I have not written to you because you don’t know the truth, but because you do know it, and because no lie comes from the truth. Who is the liar, if not the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This one is the antichrist: the one who denies the Father and the Son.

The bible makes two things extremely, How everything came to be in the Beginning, and How everything is going to end and get restored to the way God had established back at the beginning.

2 Peter 3:9 CSB

The Lord does not delay his promise, as some understand delay, but is patient with you, not wanting any to perish but all to come to repentance.

everything between the beginning and the end is god’s patience- God desires non should Perish

John 3:16–17 CSB

For God loved the world in this way: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

Jesus came to save us from condemnation-

God is not slow - We are the proof of His patience.

The last hour

Bible prophecy lays out History-

Genesis 3:15 CSB

I will put hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will strike your head, and you will strike his heel.

Jesus is the apex of Bible prophecy-

He fulfilled over 300 prophecy that were written over 100 years before He was born-

Some greater then 700 years

One Prophecy Still to Come is the second coming- or The Day of the Lord

Zechariah 14:4 CSB

On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which faces Jerusalem on the east. The Mount of Olives will be split in half from east to west, forming a huge valley, so that half the mountain will move to the north and half to the south.

Zechariah 14:9 CSB

On that day the Lord will become King over the whole earth—the Lord alone, and his name alone.

On that day:

Jesus returns

Jesus wins

Corruption ceases

Oppression is eliminated

Righteousness reigns

The Seed of Righteousness blooms

God dwelling with His People

How do we know we are getting close?

May 14, 1948- Isa 66:8

Isaiah 66:8 CSB

Who has heard of such a thing? Who has seen such things? Can a land be born in one day or a nation be delivered in an instant? Yet as soon as Zion was in labor, she gave birth to her sons.
