I am cautious about “pinning the tail” on the Antichrist and the False Prophet. We cannot know ahead of time who these personalities are; however, Pope Francis comes close to “filling the bill” on the False Prophet. Or he may be but a “type” of that man just like there are many “types” of the Antichrist throughout history. I think the devil has always had a candidate for the Antichrist waiting in the wings as he doesn’t know when the final generation is.
The False Prophet is described in Revelation 13:11-15. He is also referred to as the “second beast” (Revelation 16:13, 19:20, 20:10). Together with the Antichrist and Satan, who empowers both of them, the False Prophet is the third party in the unholy trinity.
Pope Francis is revealing himself to be a blatant Marxist. He has also pulled back from issues Catholics have considered sacred. He apparently has replaced abortion with social justice and environmentalism. Most troubling, however, is his call for a “new world order” and that there be a global constitution, a global court and a one-world government. Scripture is clear that the Antichrist will be the head of a one-world government (Revelation 13).
Even conservative Catholics are sounding a warning that Pope Francis–the first Jesuit Pope–may be the most troubling Pope ever. He is raising apocalyptic concerns and some in the eschatological community feel that he, indeed, has gotten the nod to be the False Prophet.
Roger Oakland, a former Catholic, writes, “According to Bible prophecy, a one-world religion that will offer the promise of peace throughout the world is going to commence prior to Christ’s return. To most, this global body will seem like a wonderful thing and very possibly will be a pseudo-Christianity (coming in the Name of Christ); however, contrary to how the masses will view it, it will actually help establish and set up the Antichrist and his one-world government.”
He continues, “In order for this to happen, all religions must come together in an ecumenical plan. Today, as part of this Satanic scheme, the evangelical/Protestant church is being drawn seductively into the Roman Catholic Church, largely through what we call ‘the Jesuit agenda.’ Incredibly, while the evidence is obvious to some, the majority of proclaiming Christians are not at all aware it is happening.”
Oakland concludes, “So what should we expect if we are in the time when such a system unfolds? First, many who once were Protestant and Evangelical will become ecumenical. Second, all religions will unite in solidarity of purpose. Understanding the Jesuit agenda is essential if we are to understand how this worldwide deception will come about.”
Francis, in 2014, sent a video message to Kenneth Copeland urging reconciliation between Catholics and Charismatics, a move cheered by Copeland’s audience. The video’s introduction was delivered by a friend of Francis, Anglican Episcopal Bishop Tony Palmer, who told Copeland’s audience that “Catholic and Charismatic renewal is the hope of the Church.”
Pope Francis is making a plea for the union of many faiths. He reportedly has said, “Jesus Christ, Mohammed, Jehovah, Allah. These are all names employed to describe an entity that is distinctly the same across the world.” He opened the door to Muslim prayers at the Vatican.
Can you say one-world religion?
Pope Francis has spoken at the White House, Congress, and the U.N. pushing climate change and “sustainable development” which is again all about global government! One has to wonder where he fits the gospel into his agenda. It doesn’t appear as though it does. One writer calls him a “wolf in Pope’s clothing.”
Put it all together: Marxism, environmentalism, new world order, global government, sustainable development, the Jesuit agenda, unity of faiths, a global constitution, a global court, a departure from Catholic traditions.
We live in interesting times. And the hour is very late.
Frankie doesn’t have the same Jesus and same gospel as the first disciples..
And he isn’t alone..
——>Napoleon marched through Rome ?
Yep.
On February 10, 1798, Napoleon’s General Berthier entered Rome, took the Pope prisoner, abolished the Papal government, and established a secular one, and declared a new Roman Republic. That ended the temporal persecuting power of the Papacy.
Here’s another fun fact: The Papacy took power in February of 538 and lost that persecuting power EXACTLY 1260 years later, to the month.
——>DC qualifies, according to that link.
Does DC meet ALL the criteria in post 28 of the listed 1-14? Nope. But the Papacy does.
——>Frankie the talking donkey will deceive none.
Sure he will. He has lots of help from Satan.
Necessity for Christians.
Fine for One World Religionists.
In case you haven’t been paying attention - he has billions deceived now.
Sheesh....
“Does DC meet ALL the criteria in post 28 of the listed 1-14? Nope. But the Papacy does.”
Ok, you have a point, esp. considering #9 on that list...
but... you can’t argue the point that DC qualifies even now re: the level of evil, at least. And I can foresee DC morphing into a ‘smaller mirror image’ of the Anti-christ Papacy in the end times... sans the religious aspect... since most in DC are already ‘irreligious’ (despite what they pretend to be).
Rome is now larger that it was. Vatican hill was OUTSIDE the city walls. That’s why death sentences were carried out there.
You should know history. In the days of the Internet with answers at your fingertips you should know more than is contained in a Jack Chick tract.
Like Luther revolted and broke from The Catholic Church. Before then y’all didn’t exist. To call the church started by Christ the whore of Babylon is just ridiculous.
No dear, that’s incorrect. The Pope has been there since Jesus gave Peter the keys to the kingdom.
Your slander is old and been disproven a long time ago.

The PROPHECY in Daniel 7 has absolutely zero to do with how long there has been a Pope. It has to do with the PERSECUTING POWER OF THE PAPACY....1260 years, which began in 538 with Justinian’s decree (giving the Papacy temporal and ecclesiastical power) and ending EXACTLY 1260 years later to the month, on Feb 10, 1798. Strange that you wouldn’t know history.
——>Rome is now larger that it was. Vatican hill was OUTSIDE the city walls.
Who said anything about the Vatican? I didn’t. The association is with ROME. Does your pope call himself the Bishop of the Vatican? NO HE DOES NOT.
The Pope’s title is Bishop of ROME.
Actually the fallen away are the non-Christian cults like Seventh Day Adventists, dispensationalist groups, Mormons, Jehovhas witnesses etc. etc.
