Judges 9:7-15: This passage is the parable of the trees. Abimelech is trying to set himself up as king and Jotham tells this parable to tell the people, the only king you need is God. The same thing Samuel told them later and to this day, people are trying to set themselves up as king, I'm not naming any names, Netanyahu.
1st John 2:18-28: This passage is a warning about the anti-christs. It makes it sound ominous, but these people who went out on their own, were probably just people who had different ideas about what Jesus meant to them. Nothing to get excited about here. A little freedom of religion never hurt anyone, except maybe those Jim Jones people who drank the kool-aid.
