Is the Final Antichrist Really the Pope? A Biblical Examination
Yes. Scripture identifies the “man of sin,” or final Antichrist, with the papal office. In the last days, a last-day pope will lead a global church system as Satan’s ultimate agent. Several passages point to this power: • 2 Thessalonians 2:3–4, 8 – The man of sin claims divine authority in God’s temple and is destroyed at Christ’s coming. • Revelation 17:1–6, 9, 18 – A woman on seven hills, dressed in purple and scarlet, represents a church-city ruling over kings, matching Rome’s church system. • Daniel 7:8, 20–25 – The little horn speaks blasphemy, persecutes saints, and changes laws, rising from Rome’s fourth empire. • Revelation 13:1–8 – The sea-beast blasphemes God, demands global worship, and overpowers the saints, reflecting Rome’s religious-political form.
