THE MAN OF SIN--- Antichrist ⚠️⏰‼️
The word "anti" in antichrist also means "IN PLACE OF" Christ. Now look at the following quote from John Paul II:
"The leader of the Catholic church is defined by the faith as the Vicar of Jesus Christ (and is accepted as such by believers). The Pope is considered the man on earth who TAKES THE PLACE of the Second Person of the omnipotent God of the Trinity." (John Paul II, Crossing the Threshold of Hope, p. 3, 1994).
NO ONE can take the place of our Blessed Saviour, no one! But the man of sin 'tries' to take His place!
Absolution of sin is something that God alone can do. But the pope tries to take the place of God on earth!
So many people are looking in the wrong place for antichrist. We need to look in the professed Christian church. We need to be looking at a religious system that has put itself IN PLACE OF Christ on earth. This is antichrist.
THE OMINOUS NUMBER-- 666!!!
Revelation tells of an ominous and deceptive beast whose number is 666.
6 – Represents the worship of man, and is the number of man, signifying his rebellion, imperfection, works, and disobedience.
The number is especially significant in the book Revelation, as “666” identifies the beast- the PAPACY.
666 – As mentioned, six represents the number of man; 666 represents the kingdom of man in opposition to God.666 also symbolizes a COUNTERFEIT TRINITY. Revelation says, “Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred and sixty-six” (Revelation 13:18).
Here is a Catholic quote: “The title of the pope of Rome is Vicarius Filii Dei” (English: “Vicar of the Son of God”)
“The numeral letters of his name shall make up this number.” In latin, Roman language, letters are also used for numbers, so a person name can often have a number adding up what the letters/ numbers mean. Pope's miter are these" VICARIOUS FILII DEI" which is the latin for VICAR OF THE SON OF GOD.
A "VICAR" is someone who take another's place vicar of God, means he takes God's place. In Greek the word ANTE or ANTI means to take place of; So ANTICHRIST is not someone who is against christ or a non christian power, it really means someone who claims to take place of Christ; or stand in His place. That is exactly what the Roman power claims to do!
Now what else does Paul say about this man of sin? He calls him the "son of perdition". Did you know there is only one other person in the Bible with that name? JUDAS! (John 17:12). Yes, that DECEIVER FROM WITHIN THE CHURCH! God is letting us know that the man of sin would be just like Judas. Someone who is counted as "one of us", but works for Satan.
Now are we saying that Pope Francis is the man of sin? Yes, but it is not JUST him. It involves all previous and future Popes who have exalted themselves into this same position and also the leaders of the Roman Catholic Church. The man of sin involves the whole SYSTEM of the Papacy. Just take a look at some of these quotes from the Papal Church ...
"The Pope is not simply the representative of Jesus Christ. On the contrary, he is Jesus Christ Himself, under the veil of the flesh." (Evangelical Christendom, January 1, 1895, pg. 15, published in London by J. S. Phillips)
"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." (Ferraris Ecclesiastical dictionary)
"The Pope and God are the same, so he has all power in Heaven and earth." (Pope Pius V, quoted in Barclay, Chapter XXVII, p. 218, Cities Petrus Bertanous)
"The Saviour Himself is the door of the sheepfold: 'I am the door of the sheep.' Into this fold of Jesus Christ, no man may enter unless he be led by the Sovereign Pontiff; and only if they be united to him can men be saved, for the Roman Pontiff is the Vicar of Christ and His personal representative on earth." (Pope John XXIII in his homily to the Bishops and faithful assisting at his coronation on November 4, 1958)
Jesus Christ told us to call no man on earth our "Father" (Spiritual Father) for we have only ONE Father who is in heaven (Matthew 23:9). The Papacy says, call the Pope HOLY FATHER!
Jesus Christ says that salvation is ONLY found through Himself (Acts 4:12). The Papacy says that salvation is ONLY found through the Roman Catholic Church!
Jesus Christ told us through Jeremiah not to make offerings to or worship the "Queen of Heaven". The Papacy ENCOURAGES it's followers to make prayers, offerings and worship to the Queen of Heaven (The Roman Catholic Mary).
The Roman Catholic Church is so clearly an apostate church.
Friends, the Bible reveals the clear truth about who the antichrist is. All of the Protestant reformers knew the truth about the man of sin and the Bible antichrist. Yes, this is an unpopular teaching, but it's the TRUTH. And if we decide to turn away from truth just because it will make us unpopular, then we are in effect turning away from Christ
