Read 1 John 2:18-23

Dear children, the last hour is here. You have heard that the Antichrist is coming, and already many such antichrists have appeared. From this we know that the last hour has come. - 1 John 2:18 (NLT)

We’ve been in the end times for almost 2000 years, because the characteristics of the end times continue to play out in our world. People continue to either stand up under persecution or show themselves faithless when Christianity is no longer popular in their society. Strive to remain faithful by staying connected to Christ and to other faithful Christians.
