I am saving this later to read.

Perhaps I should explain what I mean.

John is my favorite gospel, clearly drawing the issue of

belief vs. unbelief (3:18; 36)
true faith vs. false faith (5:46-47),
kingdom of light vs. kingdom of darkness (1:4-9, 3:19-21),
Jesus as the unique Son of God (1:1, 14, 18),
the hardened hearts and enmity of the Jewish leadership for their Messiah (11:49-50),
the rejection of their Messiah by the majority (1:11) and
the reception of their Messiah by a minority only (1:12).

Murderous hatred for the Messiah palpitates throughout (5:18, 7:1, 19, 25, 8:37, 40, 19:6, 15-16).
It's such a clear picture of the Satanic forces arrayed against God's Anointed (8:41, 44)
in the heavenly realms (Eph 6:12), to this day.
