I used to believe that the end times of Revelation should not have begun yet because the Antichrist has not yet risen to power. However, in recent studies I have come to the understanding that indeed the Antichrist already has risen to power, and has been in power for a long time.
The only figure in history that fits the description of the Antichrist is the Pope of the corrupted Roman Catholic Church. It is no surprise then, that the Pope teaches heresies such as that unsaved people can be saved. The beliefs of the Catholic church are pagan in nature, and are very similar to the witchcraft of Africa – Voodoo.
For example, many of the Catholic saints never existed in person, but in fact represent the same satanic figures as they do in Voodoo. Like Voodoo, Catholicism preaches to speak in “vain repetitions” and curses. It has them use “hail mary”, a form of pagan idolatry, and it curses using “anathema”. The more that I came to understand the truth about the Catholic church, the more that I realized it is not Christian at all, but the church of Satan on Earth. Many followers of this false religion are on their way to hell, for they are idolaters, pagans, and witches, not Christians.
Christian Catholics?
It must be noted that many who call themselves Catholics may not be followers of the false church. They may be ignorant of the many heresies of the Catholic Church, and may only study the Bible and pray devotedly to God alone. That is to say, they may be “Catholic” in name only, but Christian in practice.
It could be that many Catholics are true followers of God, but that is for God to decide. What I discuss here is the religion of Catholicism, and the entity of the Catholic church; I am not necessarily referring to every Catholic, many of whom are devout followers of God, and selfless.
Nonetheless, it appears to be the case that the Beast of Revelation is the Catholic church. It appears that the Antichrist of Revelation is the Pope.
Persecutions of Christians
Is it any surprise, then, that the Catholic Church historically killed more Christians than any Roman emperor? The Pope killed more Christians in their constant wars against “heresy”, than all the pagan Roman emperors combined. Tens of millions of Christians were executed for the crime of being Christian.
The Pope is the replacement of the old Roman Emperors. He wears the same clothes as Caesar, he bears the same title as Caesar: Pontifex Maximus, and he wields the same power as Caesar.
The Pope sits in Caesar’s throne, in the palace of Caesar, in the city of Caesar, in the heart of Rome. He persecuted and massacred Christians as Caesar did, and ruled the kings of the civilized world as Caesar did. Need you any more proof that the Pope is Caesar? Caesar merely changed from a political ruler to a religious ruler – but Caesar was the religious ruler as well.
The religious ruler of Pope was still and is still a political ruler, and wields tremendous political power. The Pope was responsible for the rise and fall of kings for a millennia, and still today wields tremendous political power, perhaps more than any ruler on Earth. The Pope has an army (the Papal army), Vatican city is its own country, ruled by the Vatican, and is not part of Italy.
Universalism
Today, the Pope preaches unity – unity of the churches of Satan, the humanistic, atheistic, and other satanic “churches”, with the churches of God, that is Christian churches. The Pope preaches universalism, but Jesus Christ himself said “I have not come to bring peace, but a sword”. Christ did not come to join all religions, but to set apart the true church of God from the secular and pagan people of the world.
The Pope is the antithesis of Christ. The Pope is the embodiment of the greatest evil on Earth diluting the message of Christ and the saving grace of His sacrifice and Resurrection with the lies of Satan, preaching peace and unity while in truth, merely recruiting followers of God over to the kingdom of Satan.
If all the Christians of the world would give up eternal life and join Satan in universalism, then sure, we would have peace on Earth – and every single one of them would go to hell. God, however, had a different notion. Not peace, but separation of the godly from the people of the world. We are to live apart from the world, and not be joined to it. James 4:4 says,
“Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.”
The many religions of the world, from Catholicism to universalism to paganism and Islam, Buddhism, the secular non-religion religions of psychology, humanism, and atheism, and of course the satanic religions, all will burn in eternal suffering in the fires of hell. Only those who follow after the one true God will make it into eternity.
I don’t have more time to write tonight, although I may expand it later; but if you research it, the honest research into the Pope and Catholicism is far more scathing and the evidence damning. Murder, wholesale slaughter, genocide, rape, idolatry, witchcraft, human trafficking, child molestation – these crimes are not just the fringe, but have a long history of common practice. It has been well-documented by historians that priests would be given concubines, despite claiming to be celibate, in order to protect the wives of the church members from them. Sexual immorality was the norm, not the exception.
Satanic rituals, human sacrifice, and worse, all are a part of the Catholic church, down to its very core. Do the research yourself, and be shocked at this institution that calls itself “Christian”, for the Catholic Church is the evil and Satanic Beast of Revelation; and the Pope is the Antichrist. Be aware.
“The only figure in history that fits the description of the Antichrist is the Pope of the corrupted Roman Catholic Church.”
Let’s see how Scripture defines the Antichrist:
1 John 2:22
Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son.
1 John 4:3
and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world.
2 John 1:7
For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.
We notice 3 things here:
1. The Antichrist will deny that Jesus is the Christ.
2. He will deny that Jesus is from God.
3. He will not acknowledge that Jesus came in the flesh.
“Is it any surprise, then, that the Catholic Church historically killed more Christians than any Roman emperor? The Pope killed more Christians in their constant wars against “heresy”, than all the pagan Roman emperors combined. Tens of millions of Christians were executed for the crime of being Christian.”
Where is your evidence for all of that? The fact of the matter is is that the Church does not have the power to execute. The state would execute but the Church did not but the state did not execute because one was a Christian. Also, what “heresy” did these so called Christians hold?
“Today, the Pope preaches unity – unity of the churches of Satan, the humanistic, atheistic, and other satanic “churches”, with the churches of God, that is Christian churches.”
“Satanic rituals, human sacrifice, and worse, all are a part of the Catholic church, down to its very core.”
What is your evidence for that?
As I stated, my post was not meant to be comprehensive, but I will provide further evidence in future articles. To directly answer your questions, the Pope himself claims to be Jesus Christ Himself. By his own words, the Pope denies Christ by claiming to be Christ.
The Pope himself does not claim to be under the authority of Christ, but claims to be Christ himself. This heresy has also been the case throughout the ages, as many popes have said just the same. The Pope claims to replace Christ, and even his title, “Vicar of Christ”, means, literally, the replacement for Christ.
As for the evidence as to all the massacres of Christians by the Catholics, as well as the satanism in the Catholic establishment, this is all historically well-documented and easy to find, but I will likely write articles on it, although many have been written.
Here’s an article which was not hard to find which documents satanic images such as the occult “all seeing eye” on the chair of the Pope, etc. https://holybridesaints.wordpress.com/2017/11/24/10-evidence-satanic-worship-in-catholic-roman-church/
This was found with a quick search, and I am not attempting to provide conclusive evidence in a simple comment.
James, thank you for your quick response. Hopefully, I can respond to you as rapidly as you responded to me.
I know that you cited “Evangelical Christendom, January 1, 1895, pg. 15, published in London by J. S. Phillips” for your aforementioned quote but where does the Catholic Church officially teach that? Also I don’t think Vicar of Christ means “replacement”.
Here are a couple more quotes (there are many more), including directly from the Pope. Many Popes have said the same:
As for the “Vicar of Christ” title meaning “replacement”, let’s look at the definition:
By replacement, I meant substitute. The Pope claims to exist in the place of Christ, which is unbiblical, as Christ alone remains the head of the Church.
And the Pope himself claims to have the same authority as God Himself, which is heresy. This is official Catholic dogma.
Such quotes directly from the Catholic Church are easily found and it is well-documented Catholic dogma that the Pope is said to hold the same power as God, and many even claim to be God or to be Christ.

There are many more sources. Entire books have been written on it.
James your awesome! God has blessed you and I hope he will continue to do so.
Thank you!
It doesn’t take much brains to understand when anyone falsely claims to be Christ, that person is Denying Christ and the Father. Some people will forever be looking for the futurist boogieman because they can’t let go of the fraud they were taught long ago, Pope Is Antichrist, changing times, laws, residing on 7 hills, wearing purple, scarlet, Murdering saints, etc. The Papacy is the Institution of Satan, Vatican is Satan dwelling. Cant wait to see Messiah burn it down!
Indeed! Amen!
