For the present form of this world is passing away.” (1 Corinthians 7:27,29-31) --------------------- And the world of that day soon changed dramatically. Many of those to whom Paul penned these words had become Christians because of learning Jesus was not guilty of sedition as had been claimed by his accusers.All doubt was removed when Jerusalem was ransacked and the temple destroyed just as Jesus had foretold.
(Luke 21:20-22) “However, when you see Jerusalem surrounded by encamped armies, then know that the desolating of her has drawn near. 21 Then let those in Ju·deʹa begin fleeing to the mountains, let those in the midst of her leave, and let those in the countryside not enter into her, 22 because these are days for meting out justice in order that all the things written may be fulfilled.
''All the things written'' for our day will be ''fulfilled'' as well, when our system ends. (1 Corinthians 10:11) Now these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for a warning to us upon whom the ends of the systems of things have come.
“Children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come. Therefore we know that it is the last hour.” (1 John 2:18) ----------------------------------
John foretold it was the ''last hour'' of the apostolic period and Christianity was to be overrun with apostasy. This too proved true.
