The presence of the Antichrists were a sign of the imminent end of all things in the consummation of the Jewish age. They were predicted in Matthew 24.
This means the end of the age was in its last hour "eschatologically speaking" when John wrote his epistle. Bro. Josh cannot tell time.
On the one hand he argued for a 3000 year gap for yet a little while in Psa. 37:10 and in another speech he argued that the antichrists were a sign of impending doom.
This shows the manifest contradictions and colossal problems brother Josh of Absolute Bible Truth Ministries has with his eschatology.
