How 2 John 1:7 is applied across Bible answers
Who is the Antichrist?
John again identifies the antichrist already present and as anyone that denies Christ. Interestingly, he also addresses this letter using the same imagery from Revelation 12-13. In this case, the "elect lady" is understood as the church and "her children" are the Christians.
