By the end times, many will easily be deceived and embrace the Antichrist because his spirit will already dwell within the world, I am of the conviction that the Papacy is the seat of the real Antichrist.
Our nation has had a progression of ungodly leaders and So-Calles Church’s. Their ungodliness is seen in a continued turn away from the God of the Bible – to a god of our own making – a controllable god – a god who will approve our works rather than challenge them. The god of America is a god who does not rebuke ungodliness – immorality – sensuality – or sin in general. This god will not speak up for the unborn – but will speak strong words against anyone who threatens our own personal quest for happiness and self-fulfillment at any cost. This god is a mushy god who is all about us – about us getting what we want – this is the selfie-god who is all about us defining ourselves however we want.
The Bible speaks of a mysterious character called the Antichrist, the false Christ, the man of lawlessness, or the beast. Scripture doesn’t specifically name the Antichrist but does give us several clues as to what he will be like. By looking at the different names for the Antichrist in the Bible, we gain a better understanding of the kind of person he will be…
Traits Of the Antichrist Described In The Bible
In 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4, the Antichrist is described as the “man of sin,” or “son of perdition.” Here the Apostle Paul, like John, warned believers about the Antichrist’s ability to deceive:
“Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” (NKJV)
The NIV Bible makes it clearer that time of rebellion will come before Christ’s return and then the “man of lawlessness, the man doomed to destruction,” will be revealed. Eventually, the Antichrist will exalt himself above God to be worshiped in the Lord’s Temple, proclaiming himself to be God. Verses 9-10 say that the Antichrist will do counterfeit miracles, signs, and wonders, to gain a following and deceive many.
This one continues to amaze me every time I think about it! Evangelicals continue to look for a future Antichrist, when the Bible Antichrist is already here, has been with us for a long time, and was revealed to the world hundreds of years ago! Now, what are “evangelicals”? They are Protestant Christians who have basically let go of the name Protestant and replaced it with “evangelical”. And where did the name “Protestant” come from? It came from the great Protestant reformation that started in 1517 with Martin Luther and continued with many other reformers.
Now, what did God reveal to the reformers? He revealed that the Bible Antichrist was the Papal Church of Rome (Roman Catholic Church). Take a look at this list of reformers who knew who the Antichrist was …
John Wycliffe; John Huss; Martin Luther; William Tyndale; John Foxe; John Wesley; John Knox; Ellen White; Charles Spurgeon; and even Sir Isaac Newton. All these knew that the Antichrist was the Papal Church.
Martin Luther declared … “We are of the conviction that the Papacy is the seat of the real Antichrist.” (quoted in LeRoy Froom, The Prophetic Faith of Our Fathers, Vol.2, p. 256)
John Knox declared … “That tyranny which the pope himself has for so many ages exercised over the church, the very Antichrist, and son of perdition of whom Paul speaks.” (The Zurich Letter, p.199)
John Wesley declared … “Roman Papacy he [the Antichrist] is, in an emphatical sense, the man of sin.” (John Wesley, Antichrist and His Ten Kingdoms, p.110)
And yet now, the majority of Protestant Christians or “Evangelicals” now reject this truth and have been deceived into believing the false teachings that the Catholic Jesuits invented during the counter-reformation. God revealed great truths to the reformers, but the desire for truth was not carried forward and instead deception and lies were accepted.
Now, the majority of professing Christians are waiting for this “charismatic” person to come along and fulfill the role of the Bible Antichrist. When in truth, the Bible Antichrist is already with us and has been with us for a long time. And we can be 100 percent certain of who the Antichrist is because of the great detail that God has given us. The main Bible Antichrist is the “religious” kingdom that matches the little horn of Daniel 7; the sea beast of Revelation 13; and the whore of Babylon. And there is only one kingdom that matches the exact details … The Papal Church of Rome, based at the Vatican.
The Bible Antichrist
Who is the Bible Antichrist today? Many are asking this question. But can we accurately identify who the Antichrist is from the Bible? We believe we can, and we will show you, comparing the Word of God in the Bible and actual history, who the Antichrist is. We will also show you why people are wrong to be waiting for a FUTURE Antichrist person to appear. Is the Antichrist a single person, or is the Bible Antichrist an institution, a system of false worship? These questions will be answered here. But please note, this website is not a website of hate. We are merely giving a message, a warning of truth, out of love for fellow believers in Christ Jesus, who are caught up in deception from the evil one. In Revelation 18:4, God is calling His people to come out of the Antichrist church, so that they do not share in her many sins and plagues that will fall upon her. We are merely a voice for God, calling out to His people to come out of this fallen Antichrist religion, called Babylon, and to worship God alone.
2 Thessalonians 2:3 …..’Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition.’
The man of sin who Paul is talking about above is called “the son of perdition”. Now there is only one other occasion in the Bible where the name “son of perdition” is used, and that is in John 17:12, where Jesus is talking about Judas. So Paul above is linking this “man of sin” with Judas Iscariot. Why? He is giving us a clue as to what type of person we should be looking for. It will be someone who “appears” to be a Christian. Someone on the INSIDE. But yet, he is a deceiver and the leader of the Antichrist system.
The Beast
In Revelation 13:5-8, the Antichrist is referred to as “the beast:”
“Then the beast was allowed to speak great blasphemies against God. And he was given authority to do whatever he wanted for forty-two months. And he spoke terrible words of blasphemy against God, slandering his name and his dwelling—that is, those who dwell in heaven. And the beast was allowed to wage war against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And he was given authority to rule over every tribe and people and language and nation. And all the people who belong to this world worshiped the beast. They are the ones whose names were not written in the Book of Life before the world was made—the Book that belongs to the Lamb who was slaughtered.” (NLT)
We see “the beast” used for Antichrist several times in the book of Revelation.
The Antichrist will gain political power and spiritual authority over every nation on earth. He will most likely begin his rise to power as a very influential, charismatic, political or religious diplomat. He will rule the world government for 42 months. According to many eschatologists, this time frame is understood to be during the latter 3.5 years of the tribulation. During this period, the world will endure a time of unprecedented trouble.
The mark of the beast is the name of the beast or any of his 666 names. In other words, you receive the mark of the beast by taking any one of the beast’s 666 names.
So why does he need so many names? Because he wants to appeal to every person on earth. He carefully selects his blasphemous names so that one of his names will appeal to each person on earth.
He will come as Allah or Imam Mahdi to the Muslims, Maitreya Buddha to the Buddhists, Jesus Christ to the Christians, Krishna to the Hindus, Messiah to the Jews, Saoshyant to the Zoroastrians, the “Dark Lord” to Satanists, and so on through the whole list of 666 names.
His goal is to win the worship and allegiance of every person on earth.
“Anti”-Christ means “IN PLACE OF” Christ!
Important Note: The word “anti”-christ in the original Greek can mean “in place of” Christ. So we are not looking for someone who is openly opposed to Christ Jesus, like the majority of Christians believe. We are looking for someone who has put himself IN PLACE OF CHRIST on earth and is deceiving from WITHIN the church – a “JUDAS”…
“The leader of the Catholic church is defined by the faith as the Vicar of Jesus Christ (and is accepted as such by believers). The Pope is considered the man on earth who TAKES THE PLACE of the Second Person of the omnipotent God of the Trinity.” (John Paul II, Crossing the Threshold of Hope, p. 3, 1994)
The Biblical evidence is so strong that if the identity of Antichrist on this website is wrong,
then the Antichrist does not exist and never will.
From careful study of Bible prophecy and comparing historical records, believe the Antichrist to be? It is our firm belief that the Antichrist power is none other than the Roman Catholic Church, with the pope being the Antichrist leader, that “man of sin” who Paul describes would arise. And what we will do throughout this website is explain as clearly as we can and prove to you from God’s Word and from history, why we believe the Roman Catholic Church to be the Antichrist church. Again, this isn’t a message of hate towards the members of the Catholic Church, but rather a message of love, to call them out of the Antichrist religion. We are against the teachings of this Antichrist church, NOT the people.
When God issues a warning to His people in the Bible to turn away from their false gods and to serve the ONE TRUE CREATOR GOD, is it a message of hate? No, it’s a message of love for His people, because He wants them to serve and follow Him, which will lead to everlasting life, rather than follow and serve man, which will only lead to death. So please come before God in prayer and study this with us, as finding out who the true Bible Antichrist is will help you not to be deceived by the evil one.
It is interesting to note that the great protestant reformation which rose up against the false teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, revealed who the Antichrist is. And yet the vast majority of “protestant” Christians today have now rejected what the reformers revealed about the Bible Antichrist, and have now accepted the Jesuit “counter” reformation teaching, that puts the Bible Antichrist as a FUTURE leader, taking the focus off the true Bible Antichrist, the Roman Catholic Church. They ignore the last 2000 years of history in favor of this false Jesuit teaching.
Just look at all these great reformers and church leaders who revealed the Bible Antichrist as being the Roman Catholic Church, with the pope being that “man of sin” and Antichrist leader:
John Wycliffe; John Huss; Martin Luther; William Tyndale; John Foxe; John Wesley; John Knox; Ellen White; John Calvin; Charles Spurgeon; The Translators of the King James Bible; and even Sir Isaac Newton.
Martin Luther declared … “We are of the conviction that the Papacy is the seat of the real Antichrist.” (quoted in LeRoy Froom, The Prophetic Faith of Our Fathers, Vol.2, p. 256)
John Calvin declared … “I deny him to be the vicar of Christ …. He is the Antichrist – I deny him to be head of the church.” (John Calvin Tracts, Vol. 1, pp. 219,220)
John Knox declared … “That tyranny which the pope himself has for so many ages exercised over the church, the very antichrist, and son of perdition of whom Paul speaks.” (The Zurich Letter, p.199)
John Wesley declared … “Roman Papacy he [the Antichrist] is, in an emphatical sense, the man of sin.” (John Wesley, Antichrist and His Ten Kingdoms, p.110)
Hugh Latimer proclaimed … “Do you know who is the most diligent bishop in England? I see you listening and hearkening that I should name him. I will tell you. It is the devil. He is never out of his diocese; you shall never find him idle. Call for him when you will, he is ever at home, he is ever at the plow. You shall never find him remiss, I warrant you. Where the devil is resident, there away with books, and up with candles; away with Bibles, and up with beads; away with the light of the gospel, and up with the light of wax tapers, yea, at noonday; down with Christ’s cross, up with the purgatory pick-purse; away with clothing the naked, the poor, the impotent; up with the decking of images and the gay garnishing of stones and stocks; down with God and his most holy Word; up with traditions, human councils, and a blinded pope. Oh that our prelates would be as diligent to sow the corn of good doctrine as Satan is to sow cockle and darnel.” (Great Controversy, p.248)
(Latimer was one of many Protestants who were burned at the stake for their faith)
And now the “Protestant” world rejects the great light that was revealed to these reformers and church leaders by Almighty God, in favor of the false teachings that rose up out of the “counter” Roman Catholic, Jesuit reformation. And as you read this, many of the protestant churches are now heading back to Rome and making an alliance with the Catholic Church. Many great people of God died for their faith by exposing the Antichrist and leading the people out of Rome, and yet that is now all forgotten! There is such a relaxed attitude today regarding true faith, that only a few are standing up for God’s true Word these days. If we would just return to the true Word of God in the Bible, and let God teach us, rather than man, then we would all see who the true Bible Antichrist is.
Are People in the Antichrist Church lost?
At this current time, the people who are in the Roman Catholic church, and any other fallen church for that matter, are not lost. Jesus is still waiting for them with open arms to receive them. Just look at what God says to the people in the Antichrist church in Revelation 18:4 …..’ come out of her MY people.’ ….. God still has some of His people in the Antichrist church, the Roman Catholic Church, and He is calling them out. This proves that they are not lost at this moment. BUT, God also warns them that if they STAY in the Antichrist church, and refuse to heed the call to come out, then they will be lost, as it says in the rest of Revelation 18:4 …..’ come out of her MY people, THAT YE BE NOT PARTAKERS OF HER SINS, AND RECEIVE NOT OF HER PLAGUES.’ ….. There is only one way for these dear people to NOT receive the plagues that the Antichrist will receive, and that is to COME OUT of the Roman Catholic Church.
Why will they be lost if they stay in the Catholic Church? Because if they stay, they will take the mark of the beast, which is the mark of the Antichrist, the Roman Catholic Church. And as God says in Revelation 14:9-11, those who take the beast’s mark will receive the wrath of God and be thrown into the lake of fire and be destroyed.
This issue is about worship. Do we follow and worship God or man? Unfortunately, the majority of Christians today, including “Protestant” Christians, are blindly following man instead of God. Satan has done a great job of deceiving the masses through the Antichrist power. But it’s now time for God’s people to WAKE UP and see the truth about who the Antichrist is.
As you read through this site to find out who the Antichrist is, and compare it with the Word of God in the Bible. We ask that you don’t just take our word for it, but that you compare what we say about this and go and prayerfully study it in the Word of God with an open heart. And Christ Jesus, through His Spirit, will enlighten you with regards to the Antichrist truth.
“if a man considers the original of this great ecclesiastical dominion, he will easily perceive that the papacy is no other than the ghost of the deceased Roman Empire, sitting crowned upon the grave thereof.” (Thomas Hobbes, Leviathan, Ch.47, (1651)
Please seek the truth. Don’t settle for the mainstream teachings. And remember, the emergence of Antichrist is false teaching. The Antichrist is already here and has been revealed for hundreds of years.
In Isaiah 9:7, the prophet told us that the zeal of the Lord would be the driving force behind God’s government increasing on the earth. That which the enemy is doing
