Another Example of Strong Delusion

Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Delusion: in psychology, a rigid system of beliefs with which a person is preoccupied and to which the person firmly holds, despite the logical absurdity of the beliefs and a lack of supporting evidence. (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/delusion)

The man wearing the cockamamie hat and wacky religious garb while carefully cradling a macabre male plastic doll in his arms really believes he is the anointed Vicar of Christ and apostolic successor of Peter, the ruling Head of the worldwide Christian Church.

He is strongly deluded.

He has been sent this strong delusion by the very God he claims to love and serve.

He is absolutely ignorant of his soon-coming unswerving damnation, according to the Word of God who cannot lie.

The photo below proves his hapless ignorance:





See the throngs of dedicated deluded who deliriously seek his love and attention:




Are you, too, dear reader, one of the umpteenth millions of deluded who view him a godly Christian man who worships and serves the Lord Jesus Christ in spirit and truth, and is deserving of all honor, respect and admiration for the wonderful work he is doing to further the Kingdom of God?

Are you of the Futurist persuasion who believes this man, whom the world holds in unbridled adulation, is not the Man of Sin, is not the very Antichrist of whom Christ’s true Church was warned beforehand?

 

Antichrist the officeholder of the Papacy

Please click on link below to view slide show of past Antichrists with U.S. Presidents.

Those who occupy the office of the Papacy are the Antichrist, one man of sin at a time.

It is similar to that of the office of U.S. President. When one dies or leaves office another takes his place. All are called 'Mr. President' though they do not occupy the current office of President at the same time.

All Popes maintain the same blasphemous God-hating doctrines.

Therefore, there is no 'good' pope.

All are Antichrist.

Antichrist is the one who claims to hold the office of Christ.

For centuries the Pope has claimed to be the Vicar of Christ who comes in the stead of Christ.

‘To come in the stead of’ is one of the many meanings of the Greek prefix ‘anti.’

Any recognized authoritative lexicon will confirm this fact.

Thus, the Popes and Roman Catholic Magisterium openly acknowledge they are anti-Christ in the strict ‘representative’ sense of the term.

‘Opposition to Christ’ as the enemy of Christ is the definition which most people understand when the term ‘Antichrist’ is discussed.

However, that definition only scratches the surface of its meaning.

Antichrist is not an open enemy of Christ.

Rather, he is a concealed enemy of Christ.

The Revelation and other pertinent prophetic Scriptures ‘reveal’ the identity of this most significant secret enemy of Christ, the masterpiece of Satan’s deception.

The Roman Catholic Church does not accept the accusation that the Popes are covert enemies of Christ who, on the one hand, claim obedience to Him, yet, on the other hand, in doctrines and deeds radically oppose Christ.

The martyred ancient Christians, Reformers and Puritans knew better……which is why they were persecuted and killed.

I have, in previous posts, proven these accusations were made by true Christians and have been in the historical record for at least 1,000 years.

Christians through the centuries have understood that the Antichrist is not a single man who comes at the end of the world.

That fiction was invented by the Jesuits, the historical proof of which is abundantly exposed on the Internet.

The Christian martyrs and dissenters understood Antichrist would be an evil usurper of the offices of Christ…..who would only be permanently destroyed at the second coming of Christ.

Christ is a title, not the name of a person.

Jesus of Nazareth is the Christ, the Anointed One.

His anointing was of divine origin for the express purpose of fulfilling the holy offices of Prophet, Priest and King.

In previous posts I have carefully and thoroughly explained how the Pope in office usurps all the offices of Christ by claiming to be the head and ruler of the universal Christian Church.

By so doing, the Pope actually shows himself to be the greater God.

The mystery of iniquity is no longer a mystery, with the sad exception of Futurists and Preterists.
