JESUS CHRIST SAID… "And now I have told you
before it come to pass, that, when it is come to
pass, ye might believe." (John 14:29)
Sadly, a normal fact of life is that most people only
believe after a certain event takes place. The old
worn out comeback, “I’ll believe it when I see it,” has
been played out time and time again. Well, be
prepared to actually “see it” here and now. But,
before doing so, some ground rules must be laid out
to prevent doubt. The Bible plainly instructs us that,
"...no prophecy of the scripture is of any private
interpretation." -2Peter 1:20
As Christians, we are told never to give
our own opinion of what a prophetic
symbol means. We must allow the
Word of God to define its symbols on
its own. Our private interpretations are
useless. Truth is, there are 404 verses in the
book of Revelation, and out of those 404 verses, 278
of them carry the bulk of the prophetic message of
that book. Did you know that all 278 of those verses
can be found almost word for word in all the other
books of the Bible? In other words, THE BIBLE
DEFINES ITSELF PERFECTLY. We must never let
anyone give us their opinion or interpretation of what
a Bible prophecy means. We must let the Bible define
the Bible. In fact, that’s how Jesus taught the Bible
truths when He visited us 2000 years ago. That's also
how you can expose false teachers. Just hear what
they have to say, then open a Bible to see if what
they’re saying matches up with what Scripture says
regarding a certain symbol in prophecy.
Peter Stoner states in his book “Science Speaks”
(Moody Press 1963) that if there were only eight
prophecies in the entire Christian Bible there would
be a 1 in 100,000,000,000,000,000 chance that any
one man could fulfill all eight prophecies. He then
illustrates how large this number is by suggesting you
picture the entire state of Texas (263,000 sq miles)
covered 2 feet deep in silver dollars. Now, paint one
of the coins red, and mix it into the pile. Then
blindfold a man and set him anywhere in the state
you want. Then tell the man he can travel anywhere
in Texas for as long as it takes. His task is that he can
only pick up one coin, and it must be the red one he
picks up. He must be 100% accurate on the very first
try!
It would be far easier for him to do that, than it would
for 8 prophecies to be fulfilled in one man. That’s how
amazing Christian prophecy is. Truth is, the same
odds apply to the antichrist.
In this tract we will push the envelope further. We’ll
look at ELEVEN prophecies of Antichrist to see if
there is one entity on earth that matches all eleven of
them. Doing so will hopefully erase all doubt.
PROPHECY #1
“…I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast,
” –Revelation 17:3
Since the Bible defines its own prophetic symbols,
what does it say about a “woman” and a “beast?”
WOMAN = A CHURCH
Jeremiah 6:2 says, "I have likened the daughter of
Zion to a comely and delicate woman."
BEAST = A NATION / KINGDOM
Daniel 7:17 says, "These great beasts, which are
four, are four kings…”
Daniel says the woman
(church) will join a beast
(nation). Where on earth do
we see a church and nation
joined as one political entity today? Daniel 7:23 also
stated that doing so would make it utterly unique then
any nation before or after it. This fulfillment can only
be seen in the nation called VATICAN CITY.
Furthermore, Vatican City is also the Roman Catholic
CHURCH simultaneously.
PROPHECY #2
“… I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured
beast, …having seven heads” –Revelation 17:3
John the apostle declares the beast (nation) this
woman (church) is sitting on has seven heads. What
do these seven heads represent in prophecy? During
this vision the angel actually explains what those
seven heads mean in reality. Later on in verse nine of
the same book he tells John, “The seven heads are
seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.”
(“Mountain” is also defined as “hill.” See Strong’s
Concordance #3735 to confirm.)
The Roman Catholic Church admits…
“It is within the city of Rome, called The City on
Seven Hills, that the entire area of Vatican State
Proper is now confined”-Catholic Encyclopedia,
p.529
PROPHECY #3
"…the name of the beast, or the number of his
name. …is the number of a man; and his number is
Six hundred threescore and six." –Rev. 13:17,18
The prophecy states there will be a man at the head
of this church & state entity that will have a name with
a numeric value on it. That value will be 666. Truth is,
the Vatican government must always have a pope
stand as the leader. When a pope dies, a new pope is
elected immediately to stand in the same position as
the previous pope. He carries his office, his title, and
his name beyond the grave. All popes have the exact
same title in the office of pope. What is this name
they must carry together?
"The letters inscribed in the Pope's miter are these
'VICARIUS FILII DEI'. which is the Latin for 'VICAR
OF THE SON OF GOD.' Catholics hold that the
church, which is a visible society, must have a
visible head. Christ, before his ascension into
heaven, appointed St. Peter to act as His
representative... Hence to the Bishop of Rome, as
head of the church, was given the title, 'VICAR
OF CHRIST'." -Our Sunday Visitor, (Catholic Weekly)
"Bureau of information," Huntington, Ind., April 18, 1915
Interesting thing about the Latin
Language is that it is both their
Roman alphabet, as well as their
Roman numeral system collectively.

PROPHECY #4
"…I stood upon the sand of the
sea, and saw a beast rise up
out of the sea, having seven
heads …and upon his heads
the name of blasphemy." –
Revelation 13:1
Prophecy states this beast on
seven hills will be a blasphemous beast. How does
the Bible define blasphemy? There are two
definitions.
(1) When a man claims to be God Himself.
"The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work
we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because
that thou, being a man, makest thyself God." –John
10:33
(2) When a man claims ability to forgive sins.
"…Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who
can forgive sins, but God alone?" - Luke 5:21
(1) Does the pope claim to be a god on earth?
"The Roman Pontiff judges all men, but is judged
by no one. We declare, assert, define and
pronounce: to be subject to the Roman Pontiff is
to every human creature necessary for salvation
that which was spoken of Christ 'thou has subdued
all things under his feet' may well seem verified in
me... I have the authority of the King of Kings. I
am all in all and above all, so that God himself
and I, the vicar of God, have but one consistory,
and I am able to do all that God can do." - The
Bull Unam Sanctam... Issued by POPE BONIFACE VIII
"The Pope and God are the same, so he has all
power in Heaven and earth." -Pope Pius V, quoted in
Barclay, Chapter XXVII, p. 218, "Cities Petrus Bertanous
"The Pope is not only the representative of Jesus
Christ, he is Jesus Christ himself, hidden under
the veil of flesh." -Catholic National July 1895
(2) Does the pope claim the ability to forgive sin?
"This judicial authority will even include the
power to forgive sin." -The Catholic Encyclopaedia
Vol 12, -article "Pope" pg 265
