Daniel & Revelation Reveal The Antichrist

[herald2]

1. It was to arise among the ten divisions of the Roman Empire (Dan 7:8).

2. It would destroy three of the ten kingdoms (Dan 7:8). The Roman power destroyed the Heruli in A.D. 493, (2) the Vandals in A.D. 534, (3) the Ostrogoths in A.D. 538. The other seven are still in existence to this day - Germany, England, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Switzerland.

3. It would speak great words against the Most High (Dan 7:25;Rev 13:6). "The Pope is of so great dignity and so exalted that he is not a mere man, but as it were God, and the vicar of God." - P.F.L. Ferraris. Ecclesiastical Dictionary, art. On The Pope.

4. It would wear out the saints (Dan 7:25; Rev 13:7). "That the Church of Rome has shed more innocent blood than any other institution that has ever existed among mankind, will be questioned by no Protestant who has a competent knowledge of history..." - William Edward Hartpole Lecky, History of the Rise and Influence of the Spirit of Rationalism in Europe, vol. 2 (London: Longmans, Green and Company, 1904). P.32.

5. It would be guilty of blasphemy (Rev 13:6; Dan 7:25). The church claims that the pope is God and has power to forgive sin. When Jesus made these claims, the Jews accused him of blasphemy. (The church, also, claims Mary as Mediator, that the priests "create God" in the eucharist, etc.)

6. It would attempt to change times and divine law (Dan 7:25). The Ten Commandments were written with the finger of God in stone, yet the Catholic Church claims she had the authority to delete the second (graven images) and split the last to come up with ten. It also "changed" the fourth - changing the day of worship from the seventh day (instituted at creation), to the first day of the week (at the Council of Laodicea, 364 A.D.) ("attempting" to change both times and law - no man/institution can change God's law).

7. It would exercise power over all kindreds, tongues and nations (Rev 13:7). The nations of the world send ambassadors to this Roman church/state!

8. The Dragon would give his power, seat and great authority to this beast (Rev 13:2). The Caesars of the Roman Empire gave their power, seat and authority to the Bishop of Rome. The official title of the Papacy - Vicarius Filii Dei, which means Vicar of the Son of God, adds up to 666 in Latin, Greek and Hebrew (remember, its the "number of his name").

9. It was to continue in world domination fro 1260 years (Rev 13:5; Dan 7:25). 42 months x 30 days to the Bible month = 1260 days or years (Ezek. 4:6). After she defeated the Ostrogoths in 538 A.D., she rose to power and reigned until 1798 A.D.

10. It would receive a mortal wound (Rev 13:3). On February 10, 1798, Napoleon's general, Berthier, entered Rome and took Pope Pius V1 captive. Napoleon decreed, that, at the death of the pope, (August 1799), the Papacy would end. "Half Europe thought...that without the Pope, the Papacy was dead."

11. It would amaze the world for its deadly wound would be healed (Rev 13:3). In August, 1929, in a letter written by the pope in Current History magazine, the pope said, "...EFFORTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO HEAL THE WOUND." - P. 847.

From the very beginning of Mussolini's dictatorship, both the church and state determined to settle the Roman question. On February 11, 1929, a concordat was signed restoring the place of the Papacy, thus healing the wound (Also, referred to as healing the wound in an article in the S.F. Chronicle).

The Bible tells us who The Antichrist is. The Reformers: Luther, Calvin, Wesley, Wyclif, Tyndale, King James, Knox, Melanchthon and Zwingli studied the Scripture, came to this same conclusion and were persecuted by this church. The time is short. It is essential that our doctrine comes from the Word of God, alone (sola scritura), for it is a sure foundation and we are headed for difficult times.

[Trinity]

I'v never heard that theory before

[nebula]

Well, I guess if Revelation occurs over nearly 2,000 years. . . .

[Sir W Dakotah]

I'v never heard that theory before 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Your kidding right!

Have you ever read John Foxes book of martyrs? It has spilled more blood of the saints in the past than any other religion, and will in the future when we all don't fall sway to the lure of Rome, in the ecumenical brotherhood.

[O'Dannyboy]

I've never heard that theory myself. The mortal wound, from this viewpoint, would explain alot. Christians are blamed for the crusades yet if we look deeper you find the Papacy behind it all, at the peak of their influence. We must stay true to the word and trust the Holy Spirit to see us through the times to come. God help the Catholic Church to find their way to Christ.

[CarolineS]

I have read this theory also. It's very interesting and also frightening.

I agree that we are headed for difficult times. It is more important than ever to really be reading and studying scripture.

In Christ,

Much of this is utterly fictional, some is half-truth, most is very much subject to interpretation. But inveterate 'Catholic haters' will stupidly continue to just eat this stuff up.

Ignorance gone to seed...........

I could have a field day with this thread, or maybe a field week, but I guess I'll give some others the first crack at it.

Islam has my vote for the origin of the evil ones.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

This is news, I wasn't aware we were gonna get to vote for such a thing.

But on a more serious note, what do you mean by the "origin of the evil ones?" And who are the evil ones you keep referring to? What do you mean by that? Can you point to it in scripture?

RT,

Sorry,

I really would like to answer your question but it seems to me that there are about a dozen questions I've asked you that you've made no attempt to answer. Most of your reply's are evasive and meaningless.

God bless anyway...and I know your not my enemy.

That's okay, I didn't really want to know because I didn't expect you could answer it anyway.
