The ‘Anti-Christ’, sometimes referred to as the ‘man of lawlessness’, in scripture; is often misunderstood or misidentified when discussing eschatology. Making terms more obscure, Puritan-era Confessions of Faith refer to the Pope, as the “Anti-Christ”.
Today, we seek to unravel the context of that statement, and hope to answer the question - “Is the Pope the Anti-Christ?”.
Scripture:
1 John 2:21-23, 1 John 4:2-4, 2 John 1:7-11, 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12, Revelation 20:1-10, John 14:6, Romans 1:12-17, Deuteronomy 18:10-11, Isaiah 19:3
