E.A. Johnston warns that society, government, and compromised churches are collectively paving the way for the coming of the Antichrist in these end times.
In this prophetic sermon, E.A. Johnston delivers a sobering message about the signs of the end times, focusing on how society, government, and even churches are unwittingly preparing the way for the Antichrist.

This message challenges listeners to discern the times and stand firm against the encroaching darkness.
Full Transcript
In 1 John, chapter 2, and verse 18, we read, Little children, it is the last time, and as ye have heard that Antichrist shall come, even now are there many Antichrists whereby we know that it is the last time. I believe, friends, right now, we are living in the end times, and we are paving the way for Antichrist to come. And that's the title of my message today, friends.
Paving the way for Antichrist. Society, in all her moral sickness and decay, is paving the way for Antichrist today. I've never lived in such a perverted time as the days we are living in now, friends, where wrong is right and right is wrong.
We are paving the way for Antichrist in society today. And I believe our government is paving the way for Antichrist as well, as we have legislated God right out of our country, and the government of this nation calls evil good and good evil. We have liars for leaders who are philanderers and crooks, and we vote them in because they're not as bad as the other candidate.
So we compromise ourselves as we cast our ballot, as our government today paves the way for Antichrist. But I believe the biggest fraud being conducted in our country today that is paving the way for Antichrist is perpetrated by the churches in this land who are preaching a perverted gospel and they are paving the way for Antichrist today. We have many good and sincere men standing in pulpits today who mix truth with error, and by doing that they broaden the way of salvation in ways Jesus never did, and they are right now in their churches every Sunday preaching truth mixed with error, and they are pawns who are paving the way for Antichrist to appear and take charge of a godless society in these last days.
All these little Antichrists are working together, they're working in concert with one another to pave the way for Antichrist in our day.
