From The Beginning

"I rejoiced greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, as we received commandment from the Father. And now I plead with you, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment to you, BUT THAT WHICH WE HAVE HAD FROM THE BEGINNING: that we love one another. This is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, that AS YOU HAVE HEARD FROM THE BEGINNING, you should walk in it. For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Look to yourselves, that we (you) do not lose those things we worked for, but that we (you) may receive full reward. Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son."

(2 John v.4-9)

Those "deceivers" and "antichrists" are preaching a different gospel and pervert the gospel of Christ. (Galatians 1:6,7)

"That which was FROM THE BEGINNING, which we HAVE HEARD, which we HAVE SEEN WITH OUR EYES, which we HAVE LOOKED UPON, and our HANDS HAVE HANDLED, concerning the Word of life--- the life was manifested, and we have seen, AND BEAR WITNESS, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us--- that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. And these things we write to you that your joy may be full." (1 John 1:1-4)

John declares what the deceivers and antichrists don't/can't because they haven't "worked for" it.(2 John v.8) They transgress (go ahead) and do not abide in the doctrine of Christ. Therefore they confess Jesus Christ from a carnal perspective. John requires that the elect lady, a picture of the bride of Christ, not receive them. Inquire of the Lord so you may hear, see, and bear witness so that your joy may be full!
