They Went Out From Us; Because They Were Not Of Us.

1st John 2:18/19

Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour. They (the antisemites, replacement theologians, all arrogant systems of thought rooted in pride and conforming Jesus to their own vain imaginations) went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us (John 14:26, John 16:13), they would have continued with us (Genesis 15, Jeremiah 33:19/26, Romans 11, etc); but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us (2nd Corinthians 11:3/4, John 8:44).

There has been a noticeable change, a surge in much of the Christian community since October 7th, 2023, where we did not only witness those in Islam praising the horrific acts that the world witnessed in Israel, but we saw many who profess the name of Jesus join in with their celebrating and even suggesting we 'do the same to Jews worldwide'. This rhetoric has only grown worse into 2026, and it has reached a point where to ignore it is simply to be naïve and stupid to the signs of the times Jesus commanded we watch for.

Much of the vitriol (Romans 11:17/21) we see in the world against Jews today is not merely from Islam, but from those who hold to Catholicism, the Reformed crowd, Calvinists, Lutherans, Christian Nationalists, and even the Pretrib crowd in some cases. It is the spirit of antichrist that the apostle Paul warned of during his own time, and what we should be discerning of right now (1st Peter 5:8/9). You see it online on social media, whether in a post, or videos. You see it in podcasts, popular talking heads speaking on it constantly, supposed 'experts' defending it, and multitudes lapping it up like dogs returning to vomit.

They have fallen into the traps of:

"Woe to the one who is wise in his own eyes and prudent in his own sight..."

"You thought I was altogether like you..."

"My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are My ways your ways..."

"You are of your father, the devil..."

"Do not boast against the branches, or He will also CUT YOU OFF..."

ALL OF THIS, because they spent time 'reading articles online', 'listening to documentaries', 'reading books', giving their ears, eyes and hearts to men (and women) not being led by the Holy Spirit, but by vain imagination, and ultimately, the spirit of antichrist which has been raging even before Jesus was crucified on the cross. The spirit of antichrist hates all things of God, especially the covenants made to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and their descendants, as well as those grafted in, and ESPECIALLY when it comes to the Jewishness of Jesus. This has been the target of the hour, because at the end of the age, the target will be Israel, and those who boldly stand with the covenant people ALSO MADE IN THE SAME IMAGE OF GOD.

They 'went out from us' because they were 'not of us'. Meaning, they did not stay in the truth (John 14:26, John 16:13), but gave their hearts and minds to heretics, fools, Gnostics, conspiracy theorists, talking heads, political commentators, and anything BUT the Holy Spirit who leads one into ALL TRUTH and convicts them of arrogance, pride or falling away. They have traded in SIMPLE TRUTH AND HISTORY for delusion, arrogance, pride and putting themselves ABOVE and OVER the covenant people, seeking to REPLACE them, as if somehow, us stupid and arrogant Gentiles have 'not done as bad', when we have an ENTIRE HISTORY of BLOOD ON OUR HANDS, not only against the Jewish people, but for centuries of running the name of God through the mud because of creating systems of thought inspired by men who hated God because of their hatred for the Jew (Martin Luther, who inspired Hitler to carry out his 'final solution', causing a generation of professing Christ followers to also be inspired by this now in 2026). When you attempt to 'reason' with these types, they curse you, slander you, mock you, express threats of violence, use racist remarks, showing the SAME RAGE and VITRIOL that satan himself has for the covenant people. You see DEMONIC behavior come out of people who profess the name of Jesus with their mouths, but show ZERO FRUIT to prove as such because they have been so ingrained with the hatred and delusional vitriol, that to challenge it, in their eyes, makes you 'an enemy worthy of death', and in reality, this is exactly what they will do in the days ahead: "Those who kill you will believe that they do God a service..." "You are like your father, the devil, as he was a murderer from the beginning..."

See my article on the subject here:

https://www.soundminddevotionals.com/post/those-who-kill-you-will-believe-that-they-do-god-a-service They 'went out from us' because they are like 'their father, the devil' who was a 'murderer from the beginning...' (Genesis 4:3/11). They have traded in the Simple Truth for an 'idea' of the truth that has been conformed and manipulated by men who 'sounded right' and 'had eloquent speech', but had no actual relationship with their Creator (Luther, Calvin, etc). Entire generations have been raised in 'ideas' about Jesus that are not the Jesus of scripture (Hebrews 13:8), but are of vain imagination, vainglory, heresy and that which 'sounds smart' but is ultimately rotten fruit full of festering maggots (2nd Corinthians 11:3/4).

These men and women who hold to replacement theology, antisemitism, 'taking back the motherland', 'we are the true Israel' truly are clouds without rain, whitewashed tombs, twice the sons of hell, having a 'form' of godliness, but denying its power (and the apostle Paul commanded that we AVOID them). The same demonic mentality (Revelation 13:1/8) you see in Islam is the same demonic mentality we see in folks who hold to antisemitism. It is one in the same spirit of antichrist overall. Those who pridefully choose to hold to it are setting themselves up for judgement and wrath which will end in them even going to war with the Jewish King which they profess to follow (Isaiah 63:1/6, Revelation 19:11/21). They seek so much to 'replace' the Jew because they have been taught that 'God has now chosen perfect and unfailing Gentiles who were pagans and heathen beforehand' are somehow 'more righteous' than backsliding Israel (Romans 3:9/19). My encouragement to the soul reading this, if you hold to that vitriol rhetoric, please understand that it is demonic and unbiblical. You have been lied to by multitudes who do not have the Holy Spirit (Proverbs 1:11/14) and have traded in the truth for delusional lies. You are heading down the path of ultimately GOING TO WAR WITH YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR. You are in the most dangerous position to stand before the Lord at the end screaming and crying:

"But Lord Lord!!! Didn't I tell others to hate the Jews?! Didn't I talk about the synagogue of Satan?! Didn't I tell people about the stuff I read online, the documentaries I listened to and the experts who showed me 'evidence' of how the Jews were evil and 'taking over the world'?"

This argument will simply be met with:

"I never knew you... DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS!" PLEASE REPENT WHILE THERE IS STILL TIME! To the soul who has read the room, please understand that the insults and slander you face online is going to turn very soon into violence, persecution and even martyrdom. Men and women who profess the name of Jesus with their mouths, but show hatred for Jews in their actions, are going to see it 'good in the eyes of God' to end your life as a 'service to Him' (Daniel 7:21/22, Revelation 13:10, Revelation 6:9/11, Revelation 14:13, Matthew 24:9/14). So you must choose your arguments wisely, as many of the people which you choose to argue with are already under demonic influence and are too far gone. Ready your hearts and minds to endure to the end as Jesus commanded, and be ready to have the heart of:

"Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing..."
