Oh, spare us the fundie nonsense.

This person will be an Assyrian with one eye and a bad arm.

Yes, but what brand of shoe will he wear? What will he prefer for lunch?

The church at Thyatira, written about in Revelation is the RCC.

All of the churches in Revelation were Catholic, because there was no other kind of Christian church at the time. All of them really existed in towns in what is now Turkey. All of those towns are today either in ruins or Muslim.

The rest of your screed is nonsense lifted from the writings of an ignorant "pastor" named Hislop, who knew practically nothing about Catholicism since he had grown up in a country where Catholicism was illegal. Much of what he fixates on are English customs, not Catholic ones.

Zech 11:17.

Daniel 8:23-25.

Daniel 11:37-45.

Isa 10:24.

Isa 14:25.

There are many more descriptions of the Antichrist, but you probably won't bother to even look these up. Also in the type and shadow category, Isa 52:4 describes the Pharaoh that had forgotten Joseph. Joseph was revered in Egypt till an Assyrian was made Pharaoh and hated the Jews. many things in the OT are predictors of future events. Questions you might want to answer for yourself,...What city is on 7 mountains with a church involved in Rev 17:9? Rev 17:6 describes a woman drunk on the blood of the martyrs? What church has killed more martyrs than any on earth? What church has fornicated with every king of the earth in the Roman empire? What church uses red and purple as their colors? Rev 18:3-9. Jesus even cry's out to her for His people to come out of her in 18:4. Jesus has some people in the church that need to come to their senses as the prodigal did when he realized he was eating with pigs.

You must be able to read the spiritual aspect of the Bible to understand it. A woman is always a church or religion. Thyatira was a real church in modern day Turkey, but it also represents something spiritual. It also represents a time period in the church history. Read Isa 4:1 and read it this way. Know that "in that day" is always the end times, women are religions, the one man is Christ, "their own food" means they make up their own doctrines( Christians should be eating the Word of God not traditions of men),wear their own apparel means they won't wear the robe of righteousness Christ has given them( call evil good and good evil), only they want to be called Christians so the world will think they follow Christ.

If you read that without knowing what Isa is saying, you completely miss the meaning. This is why people have difficulty reading Daniel, Ezekiel, Revelation, and others. You have to understand what horn's, heads, beasts of the field, birds of the air, women, locust's, ect mean spiritually.

Another example is found in Ezekiel 31. If you know trees represent people, olive trees are anointed people, water is always words( either Satan's, God's, or man's), branches are church members( I am the Vine, you are the branches), birds are demons, and beasts of the field are demons. Many think it's speaking about the RCC. At least you have to realize it will be a world religion that has grown so big that pride has taken over reason. Churches eating their own food and not the bread of the Bible are rampant today. When the pope speaks like he is quoted here, even Catholics have to re evaluate their loyalties. Return to your first love, Christ,.... not Mary, not Peter, Not dead saints.

If the first church was Catholic, why doesn't the RCC resemble Judaism? A Christian should resemble the Messianic Jews, more than early paganism. The Catholic religion resembles paganism more than Judaism. Changing Sabbath from Sat to Sun, Celebrating Christmas on the winter solstice instead of Tabernacles, Celebrating Easter instead of Passover or First Fruits, not even in the same week as Passover. Where does forbidding to marry come from? If Jesus is our only advocate as said in Timothy, why the Mary worship? It's widely know that James took the church forward after Jesus ascended, so why the claim Peter was a pope, even though there are no popes in the Bible. There are no nuns or cardinals either. Who do you say the Whore of Babylon is? Who has murdered more Christians than any other religion spoken of in Revelation? Who has fornicated with all the kings of the world? Who is founded on the city of 7 hills? Why did Peter write 1st Peter from Rome and call it Babylon in verse 5:13? Where does Replacement Theology come from? Before Rome took over and forced Christianity on the Roman pagans, the true religion founded by Jesus was called "The "Way" and never resembled anything like Catholicism.

Wake up and read history. Revelation 18:4 asks you to come out of her or receive the same punishments as the non believers. Remove the scales from your eyes before it's too late. It's easy to research.
