John’s primary PURPOSE is that believers will enter and maintain fellowship with God, with the RESULT of inner joy.“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 our joy may be full … These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may [continue to] believe in the name of the Son of God.” 1Jo 1:3-4; 1Jo 5:13 (emphasis added)
This compilation of notes represents the truths found in the Epistle of First John.

Daniel #21
Prophecy for Israel of 70 weeks of sabbatical years - 490 year period (Dan 9:24). The Jews violated the sabbatical year not allowing the land to rest every 7 years. First 69 weeks covered -- from the decree to restore Jerusalem given March 14, 445 BC by Artaxerxes (Neh 2:1, Dan 9:25) forward 69 weeks, 483 weeks of years later. The triumphal entry of "Messiah the Prince" (Dan 9:25) April 6, 32 A.D. prophesied by Daniel. One week is left. Messiah will be cut off (Dan 9:26) and destruction of the city. Current church age time "war and desolation". Antichrist rise and defeat is prophesied (Dan 9:27, 2Th 2:3-8). Sermon on the mount content relates to the Kingdom Age - Christ offering the kingdom (Mat 4:23-25). Olivette discourse concerns Israels dispersion, tribulation, and restoration (Matt 24-25, Luke 21, Mar 13). Upper Room discourse is Church Age truth (John 13-17) including confession (Joh 13), the rapture (Joh 14:1-6, 1Th 4:13-18), the coming of the Spirit (John 14, 16), positional truth (John 15), coming persecution (Joh 16:1-6), and His high priestly office (John 17). The Olivette discourse (Mat 24:1-51) was given after rejection of Messiah, prophecy of desolation, and prophesy of a time lapse until he comes again(Mat 23:37-39). Disciples ask when will the temple be destroyed, what the sign of his coming, and the sign of the end of the age (Mat 24:1-3). A warning of deception precedes Jesus' answer (Mat 24:4-8). Christ's answer to "when will these things be?" is in Luk 21:20-24, referring to the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. Christ's answer to "what will be the sign of your coming?" is in Mat 24:29-31. "Tribulation" is defined by the Lord to be two time periods in (Mat 24:9-28). John describes the tribulation (Rev 6:12-17, Rev 19:11-16, Joe 2:30-31, Luk 21:25-28). John the Baptist predicts the baptism of the Spirit and fire to occur after the resurrection and at the second advent respectively (Mat 3:10-12).
