Continue reading →A brief history of the Roman Catholic Counter-Reformation, the attempts to stop the Protestant movement, stop the preaching of the Gospel, and the attempt to stop Protestants from calling the popes of Rome the fulfillment of the “man of sin” prophecy of II Thessalonians chapter 2.
Continue reading →The Pope is an autocrat, a totalitarian ruler. Everyone under him must hold him in the highest esteem; must regard his official utterances above anything else regardless of reason or common sense. Rules, laws and all observances, instituted by the long line of Popes as a whole, are to be enforced by each succeeding Pope. This is the system of Popery, or the Papacy.

2He is that “wicked” whom the Lord “shall consume with the Spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming.” The “Spirit or breath of his mouth,” is His Word—the preaching of the Gospel.

Continue reading →The volume now presented to the Christian public, consists as will be observed, of four parts: the first is commended to the candid consideration of those who have not yet received the truth of the premillennial advent of our Lord Jesus Christ, the second and third take that truth as proved and granted, and address themselves especially to those who, holding premillennial views, are still looking for the manifestation of Antichrist, prior to the visible advent of Christ, those who adopt a literal interpretation of the Apocalyptic prophecies, including their chronological features—in other words, to the futurist school of prophetic interpreters.
Continue reading →Revelation 17 is introductory to the judgment on Babylon, and explanatory to St. John, as the symbolic man, of its causes and reasonableness. This is God’s usual method when about to execute any very notable act of vengeance. He shows His Church its justice beforehand, thus vindicating His honour, and warning such of His people as may have been deceived to separate themselves in order to escape imminent doom.

As the natural atmosphere is the region of storms, the medium through which the heavenly luminaries shine on us, and the element we breathe, a great physical disturbance in the air must affect it in each of these functions; and if it be thus in the symbol, so must it be likewise in what is symbolised.

Continue reading →The full settlement of our Lord’s Kingdom on the earth, even after His glorious appearing, may be—nay, must be—a work of some time. We are not told what interval will elapse between the destruction of His foes by His actual appearing and the firm establishment and organisation of His Kingdom, but for this it is reasonable to allow some space of time.
Continue reading →Luther’s thought of the pope as the Antichrist was absolutely vital to the Reformation. And what is happening today to the Protestant churches as they turn away embarrassed from this stance? Certainly much of evangelicalism and fundamentalism can no longer consider itself Protestant in the original shape of its identity.
Continue reading →Upon the death of Pope Francis on April 21, 2025, the College of Cardinals elected Robert Francis Prevost as his successor, taking the name Pope Leo XIV. His election was heralded with religious ceremony—but it began not with the worship of Christ, but with a public prayer to Mary, the so-called Roman Catholic “Queen of Heaven”, invoking a name used by ancient idolaters condemned in Jeremiah 44.
