Tom, I had a coworker, a card carrying socialist, very smart and charming of course, who said to me "i'm antichrist". her point being that she hated all things christian. I truly believe the confusion comes because people think of antichrist as one individual. The popes have been a stream of individuals. So one questions arises in the mind of many. Is "THE Antichrist" the last pope? So is the concept that many come in the spirit of "antichrist" but are not actually "the" antichrist? This confusion makes it a more comprehendable concept to believe in a coming antichrist rather than a stream of them with one final one who satan inhabits. Perhaps this is the proper phrasing to ease the confusion. Correct me if I'm wrong. We have had a stream of individuals who came in the spirit of antichrist but one is or coming who will be inhabited by satan himself and will fulfill the role of the biblical antichrist as outlined in the Book of Revelation. The Apostle Paul mentioned antichrist operating at his time, back then. Please give me your thoughts on this. Great email by the way, but of course.

XXXX,
Since Antichrist is a man, his days are 3 score and ten (70 years). Satan, a spirit, lives on and inhabits each Pope. Each Pope is the Antichrist in his generation. The final Antichrist is the Pope who will see Christ's return. That Pope is spoken of as "a man." But no one need be confused. This isn't hard to understand. People look for a distinction where there isn't one.
Jesus said, "many will come in my name saying I am Christ and shall deceive many." People ask me two questions about this passage.
1) Does this mean that many will come saying Jesus is the Christ and shall deceive many?
or
2) Does this mean that many will come saying THEY are the Christ and shall deceive many?
The correct answer is yes to both questions! And the Pope is the only one on the planet that says Jesus is the Christ and also that He, the Pope, is Christ! Every Pope claims that Jesus is the Christ, and every Pope claims that HE is the Christ, and every Pope deceives many.
The very way that Jesus made this statement reveals to us EXACTLY about whom He was speaking; the Papacy and ONLY the Papacy! Both questions are legitimate. And the answer to both questions is "YES". Once you realize that Christ formed His statement in such a way as to provoke His people to ask 2 specific and legitimate questions that anyone who listened to Him carefully (His people) would ask, the only correct answer becomes obvious. Why? Because we know that Christ is NOT the author of confusion. So there's no need for us to be confused. Both questions are the natural questions to be asked by all of His people. And the answer to both is YES. Its not "either" or "or;".... its yes to both! And ONLY the Papacy fits BOTH. The Glory of God is seen in the way that Christ formed His statement. He literally erased ANY possibility of confusion because the Papacy is the only entity in world history that answers "yes" to both questions. Yahuah's true people, those who believe what He says and know that He is no author of confusion simply CAN'T get it wrong! Christ could ONLY have been speaking about the Papacy!
Do you follow me?
Proclaiming a single man to be THE Antichrist only erroneously lends legitimacy to the "Futurist" LIE that there will only be one Antichrist and that he won't come until the end and no one needs to be concerned until he comes. This is a LIE and it blinds people to the fact that Antichrist has been with us all along and he has been fulfilling all the prophecies of Antichrist, killing Yahuah's people ever since Satan took up his abode in the Papacy at its beginning. I avoid that confusion by proclaiming each Pope as Antichrist and I let the Spirit of Yahuah teach those who are confused. They either get it, or they don't. I try to avoid these "doubtful disputations." My job is just to tell the scriptural and historical truth about Antichrist and let Father Yahuah sort them out.
The natural man perceiveth not the things of Yahuah, for they are spiritually discerned.
Blessings,
Tom
