Will The Pope Be The Antichrist?

Claim: False prophet will ‘find his seat at Vatican in Rome’

WND

A new documentary reveals that a centuries-old claim by protestants that the pope is the antichrist has actually been taught by Catholic scholars from centuries past and may have been prophesied by a 14th century Catholic archbishop.

The claim is one of many in the new WND film, “The Last Pope,” which is based on the book, “Petrus Romanus: The Final Pope is Here,” by Tom Horn and Cris Putnam.

“This is the first generation of Protestants as well as a great number of Catholics who did not believe that the antichrist would find his seat at the Vatican in Rome,” Horn said. “Certainly the reformers believed that up until 50 or 60 years that was a common eschatology. What many Catholics don’t know is that was also a common belief among their greatest scholars.”

According to the Prophecy of the Popes, a time of vast biblical significance is now at hand. “The Last Pope?” includes medieval historians, Vatican-affiliated experts and authors. From Ireland to Italy, “The Last Pope?” tells a riveting story of eschatological intrigue.

Discussions about the end times are a constant theme among Christians in all denominations, as well as speculation regarding the identity of the antichrist. Some of the claims have ranged from sincere contenders to the absurd.

During World War II some speculated that Adolf Hitler was the antichrist because of his “Final Solution” policy to exterminate the Jewish people.

However, other names bandied about included Henry Kissinger and even Ronald Reagan. The basis for Reagan being the antichrist was his full name, Ronald Wilson Reagan, in which each part had six letters, or 666.
