No real news about Leo Fourteenth lately. He did write somethig along with others supportive of Ukraine but I forget what that was all about, and that is a reminder that he is one of the top workld leaders. The popes are that, always at least one of the top world leaders. Head of an actual nation too, yes the Vatican has that status.
But at the moment I' responding to something I heard recently, about how people are calling Donald Trump the Antichrist. The Christian who reported this said it can't be so because the Antichrist comes from the Revised Roman Empire and Trump doesn't. Well, strictly espeaking neither does Leo fourteenth which I guess ends my own opinion. But not really. A popae wherever he is from is a Roman, the head of the only real Roman Empire we have on earth these days. The European Union is geraing up for a role as part of the Roman ystem but still Rome is Rome and the head of Rome right now is the papacy, which is how it has been for about fifteen centuries.
The Antichrist depicted in the beast from the sea of Reelation THirteen is not just FROM the Roman Empire, the way it reads he is practically synonymous with the Roman Empire. The beast is clearly the empire, with the symbolicmsm of the leopard, the bear and the lion from the visions ofr the book of Daniel which identify the Roman Empire as the fourth to rise after Babylong, Medo Persia and Greece, althouh in those days while the first three were known, the Roman Empire was stil an unknown for the future. But now we know that is what Daniel was all about. Rome rose to power before Christ was born and although it died or at least the Caesars stopped ruling, by6 the sixth cetury the BIshop of Rome of the Christian Church was in a position to delcare himself Universal ope and become over the next few centuries a rule of the west avery much akin to a Caesar. There is no doubt that the papacy is the Antichrist dsystme and hat the world rule r single Antichrist to come at the very end will be a Opope. It is frustrating how the Pre Tribbers keep talkinab out some unkonw man who is yet to be revealed who comes from the Roman Empire to rue the world. Nope. Pope.
The whole story of the Antichrist is Rome Rome Rome. The beast of Revelation THirteen and the Harlot CHurch of Revelation Seventeen are Rme Rome Rme. Not jus a person FROM Ruome, but the leader of what is the only Roman power bow in the world, the Vatican of the city of Rome.
Yes I believe in some of the futurist end times scenario, but not the identity of the ANtichrist, who was revealed back in the seventh century.
