the Lord while He may be found," and "flee from the
wrath to come." 4
The other passage is in 2 John 7: "For many deceivers
have entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus
Christ is come (coming) in the flesh. This is a deceiver
and an Antichrist." The correct rendering of
ep^o/ievov
(erkomenon) is COMING. Jesus was especially called the
5
"Coming One." But these deceivers denied the incarna-
tionthe coming of Christ in the flesh either past or
future. See Alford, also Jamieson, Fausset and Brown.
This, then, is of special significance. He that denies
Jesus Christ's Coining in the Flesh
is a deceiver and an Antichrist. That is, he is possessed
of the same spirit, which will ultimately find its personi-
fication in the GREAT PERSONAL ANTICHRIST.
It is lamentable that this passage has been so improper-
ly translated in our version. It is such a strong asser-
tion that Jesus is coming in the flesh, that it would doubt-
less have prevented much of the unwarrantable "spiritual-
izing" of Scripture, which has prevailed so largely.
