The Essence of the Antichrist


Ask yourself this question: Why do Adventists keep saying that the good natured kind pope is standing in the shoes of the Antichrist with the Eucharist wine of Christ in his hands? How possibly can he be the 666 of Revelation 13:18? And that 666, by the way is not 6/6/6/ but 600 + 60 + 6. All the Greek manuscripts abbreviated it that way and the Greek text of Revelation is explicitly so. 


It is not a case of a 6 that is imperfect and just cannot be a 7 as some doubted Adventist scholars tried to reason unsuccessfully. Unsuccessfully if you read the magnus opus work of Edwin de Kock on 666 of nearly 900 pages in 2011 going through all the wimpy arguments of men like Froom, Bacchiochi, Rodriquez, Stefanovich, and others on that bus. It is not just a case that they were misinformed or fell short of the complete picture or that they just never got the mathematics straight. It is, and note this, a deliberate refusal to say or see otherwise. They may see it but refuse to say it. Period. In fact, I have black on white that Bacchiochi, after been informed by me about many aspects on this issue, refused to change his view in e-mails.


What makes 6 hundred and 60 six the Antichrist? His name, yes, and I will not repeat the well-documented historical analysis of Vicarius filii Dei adding up to the Latin numerals of exactly 666 and which was a common title of the papacy ever since its first inception around 478 AD (in my analysis) but definitely and securely outlined as used by many popes in documents etc. and believe it or not on the Victorian Age Belgian Tiara as VICARIUS CHRISTI. What is the distance between VICARIUS CHRISTI and VICARIUS FILII DEI? Theologically nothing. They are identical. Do you not say that the Son of God, Jesus is Christ? They are the same. You may say, well, the pope is called the VICARIUS CHRISTI but not VICARIUS FILII DEI and then you are wrong. There are pop-ups everywhere and although used less in modern times, even Catholic scholars will admit that it is a common term for the papacy in their history and evidence of it is shown here and there.


But what is it that makes the Antichrist the Antichrist if it is not blatant Atheism or Nihilism or Secularism as the Catholic Antichrist scholar Vincent P. Micelli maintained in 1981 in his The Antichrist. Mary is portrayed as a “prophetess of the last days” (see the cover of the book) and “the Antichrist’s final assault on Mary and her children in and outside the Church through the instruments of eroticism, violence, organized terrorism, legalized abortion and universal war. But Mary, the Prophetess of the last days, cooperates today more openly and publically with the glorious Son of her persecuted children to defeat the Antichrist and crush forever his kingdom of darkeness.”


What makes the Antichrist the Antichrist biblically? The name Adventism are also using, namely the one of VICARIUS FILII DEI = 600 + 60 + 6 is already in 1610; 1618 and 1630 in three editions of the work of Andreas Helwig when he discovered this key of understanding. It is not an Adventist “invention”.

But many names add up to 600 + 60 + 6. Yes. But they were not claiming theologically what the papacy is claiming.


This photo below is the essence of the Antichrist. A full circle where we began this writing above. Look at the photo.

What possibly be wrong with a pastor doing his ecclesiastical duties? Look again. He is holding one cup in his had to “bless it”. He holds it up. He holds it above the cross and at this point, looking at the picture one does not get any strange feeling as a Christian. 


But notice this: it is not grape-juice but alcohol that is used. The Blood of Christ had no taint of sin in it and alcohol or yeast is a symbol of sin. It is thus doctrinally wrong to use alcohol for the Eucharist. Fine that is biblical but still it is not enough to make him the Antichrist. Granted.


So what is it that is so crucial besides his name linking him?

The photo. Look again. When he as the supreme priest of the Catholic Church is holding up the cup he does so with the Catholic and self-understanding that he is the Shepherd of the world. He is the supreme Pastor if you please. Added to this, he is the “representative of Christ” VICARIUS FILII DEI = VICARIUS CHRISTI of Catholic and Catholic acknowledged Christians on earth. Wait a minute. The biblical stance on the representative of Christ on earth in the words of Christ was His promise to send them the Holy Spirit, not the pope.


The photo is the problem. Let us not get sidetracked. He has wine of alcohol substance in that cup and holding it up he prays and believes and make believe all believers that at that moment when he finish praying, the wine-alcohol actually turn into the real blood of Christ. Following Jesus words to drink it, he wants people to take superstitiously the real blood of Christ.


Notice the photo. Not everyone in the church is sitting with a cup. Only he is. As representative of Christ on earth, a self-acclaimed title, a coup d’ état of the Holy Spirit’s function (what possibly can go wrong with that?) he gives and he only can give and his priests with him functioning as agents of the vicarius filii dei as many vicarius filii dei, in function thus, dishing out the real blood of Christ to thirsty hungry souls for salvation. Unless those souls drink that blood, the papacy and his functionaries are teaching, unless they take it from their hands and hands only, unless he finished his prayer that change the wine-


This photo is becoming very serious now. In fact there is an element of danger in this photo. What was looking very cool to start off with, will make readers wish they have never read this.

I say these things, but catholics say it themselves. I am bouncing off what the Vatican site is providing the reader with. Go to www.vatican.va any time and click on the papal sermons, documents, speeches, and the archive to past popes.


This function, this superstitious mysterious transubstantiation of symbols becoming the real parts of the body of Christ, this exclusive power over those symbols, becomes a holding of the key to salvation and that role is taking the role of Christ, who is the Holder of the keys of life and death according to the Book of Revelation, away from Christ and in a human called the papacy. That is the essence of the Antichrist.


Added to this, the function is not only a religion but also a politics. It is a political-religion since the Vatican State is a country. It has political relationships and alliances. It has militaristically internet and publication strings and networks across the globe to carry out its political objectives. 


It also dreams, like Adventists, like Islam to be the only super world religion in the world. Pluralism since Vatican II? Read the speeches of the papacy on the Vatican Site with care. Pluralism under the umbrella of the only church, the Catholic Church.


This is then the essence of the Antichrist. It is in name connected at Andreas Helwig, others and Adventists keep saying; it is the political-religious aspect; it is the coup d’ état of the Holy Spirit’s function as Christ’s Representative on earth as chosen by Christ; it is the misinterpretation of Peter the Rock instead of Christ the Rock; it is the taking away from Christ His keys of salvation and placing it only in the hands of the papacy. 


This is the most dangerous aspect of the photo. And the world is blind and as the Bible says: they walked in wonder after him, even the USA presidents and USA government (see Revelation 13).
