Anitichrist Three:

 The previous two posts on the Roman church should be titled Antichrist One and Two but I can't go back and change them now.  This one is a continuation of the theme.

H Grattan Guinness refers to the current most popular end times ceneario as Futurism, the one we call the Pre Tribulation Rapture scenario.  I'm going to call it Futurism from now one just because it is a shorter twerm and is clear enough.    

I've already objected to the part of Futurism that expects the final Antichrist to suddenly be revealed at the very end while up until that time we won't have  any idea of his identity.  That is exactly the scenario Guinness is rejecting as an invention of the Roman Church to obscrure its own iudentity as the system of the papal Antichrist.   

The main objection to the idea of the papacy as the Antichrist has been that he is to be an individual who rules at the ery end, but this is easy enough to answer .  The Caesars were ann individuals and yet all aesar, so is the Pope annll individuals and yet all Pope.  There can be a final individual Pope who is the final Antichrist and that is the position I'm taking.  Guineness dismisses the whole futuris scenario however, he puts eerything in the past.  The Popes are right now the Antichrist and he isn't looking for a future individual Antichrist apparently.   He scoffs at the idea of teh Seventieth week of Daniel too, and arues that the numbers that sound so clearly like three and a half years written in various ways are really to be understood as the twelve hundred and sixty years of the rule of the Roman Church in the Middle Ages.  

All that just eems strained and false to me.   The seventieth week of Dainiel is a deinitely determined time period that is yet future.  I don't see how that can be so easily dismissed.   The seenty weeks are divided y sections in the prophecy itself, and it is sixty nine weks to the Sunday on whih Jesus rode into Jerousalem on the donkey.  That leaves a week of years that so far has no fulfillment.   The tiribulation period Jesus identifies in Matthew 24 however seems to fit right in there, the seventieth week being the last week of the Daniel prophecy, arriving at the reelation of the Messiah who brings the transgressions to a close and establishes eternal righteousness, as the prophecy says.  Jesus identities the great tribulation as occurring just before the EWndj:  "And then the end will come"  so the fit is a good one.

Sixty nine weeks to the crucifixion, when the Messiah is "cut off" as the Daniel prophecy puts it, then another week of years to the finishing of whe whole history of redemption.

Certainly it is not finished yet and the Antichrist is still quite visiblee in a position of international influence but no longer the ruler of the wrold as he was in the MIddle Ages.  But that could change quite suddenly and  he step back into the role as leader of teh reconsittuted Roman Embpire which is now the Roman Church as it was when he ruled over the so called Holy Roman Empire.  

So some of the futuris scenario is probably true enough still.  They have the identity of the Antichirst all rwrong and that's a big  part of it, but Guinessnness is also wrotng to reduce most of the book of revelation to sybolism that has already occurred in the past.  Jesus has not yet come, the transgression is not yet finished, the Antichrist is not ruling the world at the momenmt and so on.  That is all yet to come.

It's sad to see thousands upon thousands of Catholics in Europe flocking to see the election of a new Pope, as they did just a couple moneths ago.  The y stand in front of the ... St. Peter's as it's called  I'm not sure about those things...  but they are standing there reciting their repectitituve prayers with their rosaries and being all excited about the revelatio nof this new leader of the Roman Church who is in realtiy the leader of the deayh of the wrold.    American Catholics  don't rep[udiate the ope either.  He's come to America even to our Congress, what a horror of anabomination that is.  This is a Protestant nation.  All our successes, propsperity, freedoms, come from our Protestant heritage, which in its true essence opposes Catholicism, and yet today few Proptestants have ny idea of any of that.  And Catholics blindly revere their "church" and nobody opposes them any more.   All those pagan things that characterize it just get ignored somewhow.  They are contrary to Christian ity  and yet nobody seems to notice.  Bill Cunninham was going to go to his Romaist church to light a candle over some political situation or other, I forget.  Lgihting cancdles is just a papgan superstittuion, contrary to Christianity.  Cunninham is a solid American patriot it seems to me, but he's in thrall to the false Church and that's sad, for him and for America because  a patriot in thrall to the system of the Anitchrist is certainly not a good thing for the country.  Samew with Dan Bongino.  Many Catholics in American politicis here and there, in office or as talk show hosts and so on.  Good patriots most of them, at least the ocnservatives are, buyt they don't see the problems  that come with their allegiance to the anticChriustian and AntiAmerican Church oif Roe.   Nor do most Protestant though.  

jMark Levil just came out with a new book, On Power, and I'm going to get through my Alexa setup free today as an audio book.  I'm sure he does a great job identifying the power threats from the Left, Maarxism, and naming everybody who is part of it, bugt of course he doesn't know a thing about the Roman Church, which there is reason to believe is the rock bottom power behind it all in the end.    Chris Pinto has a film out called American Jesuits that I haven't been able to see yet, and he has a lot of good information about the dangers of the Roman Church in American politicis and indeed the whole political situation of the whole worldk,, as really the root of the Globalist agendy despite their ability to fly under the radar so cleverly nobody sees it without making a huge effortt.  

I was very idsappointed to find out that J D Vance became a Catholikfcc.  Well, they have good PR.   And they aren't killing people out in the open these days, only in the secret places of the world, yes it is still going on just not out in the open.    They have good PR now, sad to say, we have no John Adamses to warn us against them.  Nboodhyto tell the Catholics "get out of her, My people.    I too was attracted to them through the mystics like teresa of Avila and John of the Cross who teach a true love of God if you aren't sensitized to their little Romanisms that are a fly in the ointment if you know how to recognize them.  I just loved their love of God.  Then Karl Keathing said the Pope is the head of the Church and I knew that was wrong andthe Lord took me to the scripture passages where it says He is the head of the CHurch and that was the end of that for me.  But people who have no knowledge of anything about any of this, such as DjJD Vance, can still be seduced by them.    

Will Leo be the final Antichrist?  I don't know.  I thought Francis was a sure thing because of so many weird signs that stuck to him, but he wasn't and I don't know if Leo will be either.  There could yet be another one to come.  Or maybe he will be.  We're close enough.    Look for a covenant with Israel for seven years.  The last half of those seven years adds up to twelve hudnred and sixty days or foty two months or three and a half years of time, times and half a time.   That's when the Great Tribulation happens if the futurist scenrio is right about that much aty leas.t
