10. 8. He is called Father and Son (1 John 1:3; 2:1; 2 John 1:3; 1 John 2:22-23; Jude 1:4).

The Lord is life revealed and made manifest, and God is light (1 John 1:2, 5).

He is a propitiation for our sins (1 John 2:2; 4:10). For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8; 4:10).

That we shall abide in Christ (1 John 2:5, 6, 24; 3:6). He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son: whosoever denieth the Son hath not the Father (1 John 2:22-23).

He that keepeth His commands dwelleth in Him, and He in him. Hereby we know that we dwell in Him, and He in us. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him; and he in God (1 John 3:24; 4:13, 15, 16).

He who confesseth Jesus Christ, who lived in the flesh, is of God; he who confesseth not is not of God (1 John 4:2-3). Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ (Messiah) is born of God (1 John 5:1).

Who hath overcome the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God (1 John 5:5).

This is the testimony, that God has given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He that hath the Son hath life. He who believeth in the name of the Son of God hath eternal life (1 John 5:10-13).

We know that the Son of God is come and hath given us an understanding that we may know [Him that is] true, and we are in [Him that is] true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life (1 John 5:20-21).

To the only wise God our Savior, be glory and power (Jude 1:25).

Chaldea was a land lying along the Euphrates river near its mouth, south of Babylon, part of what is now southern Iraq. It was a land of the Lord's second great church, the Ancient Church, which at its height had a wealth of knoweldge through its own sacred scriptures and the correspondences of nature. But as this church declined Chaldea came to represent people who use truths for evil purposes and thus profane and falsify them. Abram was born in Chaldea because of the greatness it had represented, but had to leave because of what it had become.
