Antichrist

Whatever this is.

The four books of the New Testament that fueled Christian belief in Antichrist were the first two epistles of John, the Revelation to John, and the Second Letter of Paul to the Thessalonians. The first three of these were written near the end of the 1st century CE; the last was written either by St. Paul the Apostle shortly after 50 CE or by one of Paul’s immediate disciples some 20 or 30 years later. Neither 2 Thessalonians nor Revelation uses the term Antichrist, but both works refer to a coming persecutor who is evidently the same person. The first epistle of John introduces an important distinction between “the” Antichrist who will come and the many antichrists who are already active in the world. This distinction not only enabled believers to denigrate contemporaries as “antichrists” without having to label a single individual as “the” Antichrist but also allowed them to identify the “body of Antichrist” as a collectivity existing in the present but destined to have its day of triumph in the future.


Nevertheless, early Christians tended to emphasize the coming of the one great Antichrist. The Revelation to John refers to this figure as “the Beast from the Abyss” (11:7) and “the Beast from the Sea” (13:1). In the most sustained account of his appearance, 2 Thessalonians 2:1–12, he is called “the man of sin” and “son of perdition.” He will come at a time of a general apostasy, deceive people with signs and wonders, sit in the temple of God, and claim to be God himself. Finally, he will be defeated by Jesus, who will destroy him by “the spirit of his mouth” and “the brightness of his coming” (2:8).

How do these descriptions fit the pope?

He sits on the temple of God, and claims to be God by accepting worship only meant for God as well as claiming to forgive sins
