The first written history suggests Arnulf, the archbishop of Reims in the 10th century identified the Papacy as the Antichrist. Later Joachim of Fiore in the 12th century preached the Papacy was the Antichrist. And the archbishop Eberhard II in 1240 also related the papacy to the Antichrist. This led to the martyrdom of many Albigenses, Anabaptists, and others who in part embraced his views. Synopsis of the End Times; A look at the popular beliefs of today by Mike Morrill.

Think the Antichrist will be secular, while the False prophet could very well be a Pope!

Read Paul's description in 2 Thessalonians 2:4.

All the Reformers believed the Papacy is the Anarchist and some Lutheran and many Reformed creeds state this boldly.

What about the mark of the beast? Antichrist sitting in the Temple of God? The Jews?

Paul says; He would be the “[Man of sin] Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in [Greek = as] the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.” (2 Thessalonians 2:4) (KJV 1900)


Augustine 354 – 430 first speculated about the Antichrist saying; “Antichrist means not the prince himself alone, but his whole body, that is, the mass of men who adhere to him, along with him their prince; and they also think that we should render the Greek more exactly were we to read, not “in the temple of God,” but “for” or “as the temple of God,” as if he himself were the temple of God, the Church.1405”

He will be a political, not religious leader!

OK, @1689Dave, let's not shut the thread down with the infant argument. I was looking forward to ridiculing Premillennialism! :Cool

That's a question you should pursue on you own. You don't get to preach another gospel just because you judge some people by the outward appearance.

Cannot God choose to exercise saving grace towards those unable to have faith, such as infants and mentally challenged?
