Mark 6:14-29
(I’m just going to copy-paste - from a modern translation - you’ll see why I dislike these verses. Does such evil still exist? You bet it does.)
The king, Herod Antipas [Son of Herod the Great who killed all the young boy children of Bethlehem, trying to destroy the prophesied “king”] soon heard about Jesus, because everyone was talking about him. Some were saying, “This must be John the Baptist raised from the dead. That is why he can do such miracles.” Others said, “He’s the prophet Elijah.” Still others said, “He’s a prophet like the other great prophets of the past.” When Herod heard about Jesus, he said, “John, the man I beheaded, has come back from the dead.” For Herod had sent soldiers to arrest and imprison John as a favor to Herodias. She had been his brother Philip’s wife, but Herod had married her. John had been telling Herod, “It is against God’s law for you to marry your brother’s wife.” [The Herods were Hebrew/Israeli]. So Herodias bore a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But without Herod’s approval she was powerless, for Herod respected John; and knowing that he was a good and holy man, he protected him. Herod was greatly disturbed whenever he talked with John, but even so, he liked to listen to him. But Herodias’s chance finally came on Herod’s birthday. He gave a party for his high government officials, army officers, and the leading citizens of Galilee. Then his daughter, also named Herodias, came in and performed a dance that greatly pleased Herod and his guests. “Ask me for anything you like,” the king said to the girl, “and I will give it to you.” He even vowed, “I will give you whatever you ask, up to half my kingdom!”
She went out and asked her mother, “What should I ask for?”
Her mother told her, “Ask for the head of John the Baptist!” So the girl hurried back to the king and told him, “I want the head of John the Baptist, right now, on a tray!”
Then the king deeply regretted what he had said, but because of the vows he had made in front of his guests, he couldn’t refuse her. So he immediately sent an executioner to the prison to cut off John’s head and bring it to him. The soldier beheaded John in the prison, brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the girl, who took it to her mother. When John’s disciples heard what had happened, they came to get his body and buried it in a tomb. [New Living Translation (NLT) included at biblegateway dot com.]

~ 1 John 2:18-22 ~
18 Little children, it is the last hour [hαΉra – a time or period, properly, an hour; (figuratively) a finite season] and just as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have appeared. Therefore we know that it is the last hour. (The modern lawlessness/“strong delusion” of “seating man [anthropos] as though in the temple as god”/highest power began in Greece. Not only spiritually, “man as divinity” but the ‘scientific’ thought was a growing “man from rock/earth” philosophy. Anti-Christ is any sentiment that is - against Christ, or opposes Christ. Or both. There’s been many. But comes to be an organized and structured anti?)
19 (Now in John’s day) - They went out from us, but they did not really belong with us. For if they had belonged, they would have remained with us. This was proven when they left. 20 You, however, have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth. 21 I have not written to you because you lack knowledge of the truth, but because you know the truth, and because no lie comes from the truth. 22 Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? [Christos - the anointed one, messiah.] This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.
