Antichrist Pope

 When I hear someone say that the Antichrist is going to come out of the Revived Roan Empire and we don't know who he is yet, I just get all triggered or somethihg and have to give my own differing view of this.  Based on the Protestant Reformers view of the antichrist as the Pope.  We know who the Antichrist is, and this particular Pope is an Anitchrist just through his vblieevefs and corruptioj even of Roman catholic tenets.  There may yet be another, the final, antichrist to come, the next Pope, but the pope is the ntichrist and we know who he is, we don't have to wiat for him to be revealed.  And as the Reformers understood it, the revived roman empire was creted by the Pope when that office got underway centuires ago, the Holy Roman empire.  This revived empire isn't completely dead and is being revived itself in the new European Union, but the point is it already existes.  It needs to be brought back to9 prominence and the Pope will also rise again to preeminence in the world s he was during all t

\This isn't just an aca\demic point I'm making.  If the Pope is not recognized as the antichrist he is he can operate without opposition and the roman Church can continue as if it were just another Christian denomination, which history shows it is not.  but nobody reads the history of the church any more so of course history will onoly be repeated without anyone seeing it coming.  If you don't recognize the enemy then the enemy gets the upp-er hand over you.  Nice position to be in as we wait for the last days to bring it all to the fore.  catholics aren't going to be warned in time and will struggle mightily to get free of their bondage to the false church.  they need to be warned now.  Protestants are no longer Protestants either, but too many are even favorable to the Pope and the romn Church, ignorant of history.  

A majory struggle of Catholics will be over their confusion when they miss the Rapture.  they may fall for the lie and rationalize it away sbecause they believe they are the true Christians, or they may see that they must not be and the fonfusion will overtaken them and the strugle to sort all that out is going to be a huge turmoil.
