The
True Nature
of Antichrist
|
" Little children,
it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even
now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last
time." 1 John 2:18 Let no man
deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a
falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition.
2 Thessalonians 2:3 |
"No person shall preach without the permission of his Superior.
All preachers shall explain the Gospel according to the Fathers. They
shall not explain futurity or the times of Antichrist!"
Pope Leo X, 1516
The following excerpt comes from
"The Popes of Rome" by Ronald Cooke, pp.37-40--
"It is now popular to set forth the idea that the Antichrist is a
secular monster. In this way, every religious person in the United States [and
the world] can then be vociferous in his condemnation of such a person.
Muslims, Jews, Roman Catholics, and Protestants can all join in condemning such
a rascal.
"Mystery Babylon...is the cage of EVERY false religion. False
religions cannot be against Antichrist for they are antichristian. They are
part and parcel of Antichrist.
" It is interesting to note that Pacelli who was later to become
Pope Pius XII, according to Martin, "in forty out of forty four addresses
as papal nuncio, Pacellii inveighed against Antichrist and warned of a gigantic
struggle about to begin between Satan and Jesus for the soul of Europe and the
souls of men."
"Pedro Arrupe, the former head of the Jesuits, also warned about an
atheistic antichrist which was arising in the western world. Roman Catholic
spokesmen, from the pope on down, have warned about a coming atheistic
monster out to control the world, for this has been the Roman Catholic teaching
on Antichrist for centuries.
"In the United States, Jews and Muslims seldom say much about their
views on the subject of Antichrist. However in their religious writings the
issue of Antichrist is addressed.
"...This is why a secular antichrist appeals to so many today. A
secular antichrist does not pit Jew against Christian, or Muslim against Jew.
It does not pit Roman Catholic against Protestant nor Protestant against Roman
Catholic. If Antichrist is a secular atheist then all good religious people can
oppose such a monster and retain their good ecumenical spirit at the same time.
The secular atheistic Antichrist is the antichrist of Ecumenism.
"Whereas the very name anti- Christ shows that the Beast of
Revelation is not anti- Jew, he is not called anti- Mohamed, he is anti-
Christ. The antichrist is the LEADER of all false religions, not the opponent
of them. Lenski the old conservative Lutheran scholar wrote the following about
Antichrist:
This is an apostasy. It is therefore, to be sought IN the church visible and not OUTSIDE of the church in the pagan world, in the general pagan moral decline, in Mohammedanism, in the French Revolution, in the rise and spread of Masonry, in Soviet Russia, or in lesser phenomena. We should not confuse the little antichrists with the great Antichrist, the antichrists OUTSIDE of the visible church with the great Antichrist INSIDE of it. (emphasis his)
"The Man of Sin is an arch-deceiver. His main deception is to make
people think he is the true Christ. He is anti-christ, the one who tries to
take the place of Christ. It is not the radical difference from Christ which
the secular view of Antichrist emphasizes, rather it is the CLOSE resemblance
to Christ which the Bible depicts, which should instruct the Bible-believer.
"This Man of Sin works pseudo-miracles, signs and wonder. He is a
religious man and a veritable Christ to those who are deceived by him.
"This is what the popes of Rome have done for centuries. They have
sought to replace Christ. By deception and confusion they have effectively
opposed Christ as well. They are still masquerading as the Vicar of Christ
today, and multiplied millions fall down before them as Mark McGuire did
recently in St. Louis, abjectly kissing the ring of the great imposter."
"...I scoff at the notion that anyone other
than a pope could be the antichrist."
--W.F. Strojie, a conservative
Roman Catholic scholar in,
Last Days of the Catholic Church, 1978, p. 3, (self-published).
