Will the Real Antichrist Please Stand Up

The title of this article is what pastor Charles A. Jennings gave to his “The 13-point biblical description of the Antichrist” at the beginning of the YouTube below entitled, “70 Weeks and Logical Conclusions – Part 3. I hope you see the entire video and the first two parts as well. I am transcribing from the video only what pastor Jennings has to say about the Antichrist.

Transcript

I would like to read a description of, “The Antichrist.” And I have entitled this short article “Will the Real Antichrist Please stand up.”

So I’m going to mention several possibilities, and which man or group best fits the biblical description of the Antichrist, or the man of sin down through time.

Bible scholars and preachers have have suggested several different men to be the Antichrist, starting with Nero, Domitian, Diocletian, Mohammad, Charlemagne, Genghis Khan, Napoleon, Woodrow Wilson, Mussolini, Hitler, – naturally, of course, they got to get those in there – Stalin, FDR, JFK, Armand Hammer, Henry Kissinger, Saddam Hussein, President Obama, Ahmadinejad, a Jew or the Papal dynasty.

Let me read you a 13 point description of the Man of Sin. (I added the Scriptures that go with the points.)

As the little horn must come out of the Roman Empire.
Daniel 7:8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
Prevail over the saints or the body of Christ.
Revelation 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
Sits in the temple or the Church of God.
2 Thessalonians 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
Pretends to be God or the Vicar of Christ.
Ibid. 2 Tess 2:4
Is “that Wicked,” that is, the direct successor of Rome’s chief religious ruler.
2 Thessalonians 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
His position and power comes from the succession of the previous four world empires.
Speaks great things and blasphemies against God.
Revelation 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
Possessed power over all nations.
Revelation 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
Declared war on the saints, that is the true body of Christ.
Ibid. Rev. 13:7
Demands worship.
Revelation 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Is the supreme ruler of the apostate church system known as the Great Whore.
Represents the apostate church that is drunken with the blood of the saints and the martyrs of Jesus.
Revelation 17:6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
Represents the apostate church that is rich, yet full of filthiness.
Revelation 17:4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:

Now, who would you say fits that category or fits that description of the Antichrist? There is only one logical conclusion, and that is the papal dynasty.

(End of comments from Charles Jennings.)

Men die but Satan lives on in the spirit world. He rules the world thorough the most powerful and influential man in the world at the time, and when that one dies, Satan goes to that man’s successor or the next most powerful and influential man. I think anyone should be able to understand that concept.

The leaders of the Protestant Reformation starting with Martin Luther all recognized the office of the papacy as the seat of the Man of Sin, the Antichrist. Why are most Christians guessing today who he might be? It’s because of the work of the Jesuits and the Counter-Reformation! Jesuit Francesco Ribera circa 1585 cooked up the false interpretation of Daniel 9:27 saying the Antichrist is going to make a covenant with the Jews when in fact it was Jesus the Messiah Who confirmed the covenant that God made with Abraham, the covenant of grace though faith! I wrote extensively on this subject on this website.
