The Bible says the Roman Empire does not lose their dominion until Jesus puts down the world.
Which they will become 10 horns the world divided in to 10 sections with a leader in each section.
Which they will devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
Which will be by way of the new age christianity which interprets the Bible and religions according to the occult and evolution, and people will evolve to be spiritual, and Jesus became an ascended master, and there is no personal God, and the New Age Christ is the final teacher.
The antichrist will come from the 10 horns from the people who overthrew Jerusalem which is the Roman Empire.
Since the Roman Empire does not lose their dominion the Pope will embrace the new age christianity as the correct interpretation of the Bible.
It is obvious when the Roman Empire embraced Christianity they did not get rid of their pagan and occult ways and it became their foundation for interpreting scriptures.
So they can sway along with the world as they change.
Which the Pope will be in league with the New Age Christ and support him and they will persecute all people who opposed their system.
The 7 Churches in Revelation is how the Church age will go in popular influence.
The first Church left their first love which they were not caring about the poor and needy like they did when the Church first started.
Jesus told them to correct it.
2,3, and 4 is the Roman Catholic Church for they were a popular influence for many years and got worse as time went on.
They are called the synagogue of Satan.
5 is the Protestant movement which Jesus said their works were not found perfect as they had to weed out the beliefs of the Catholic Church.
The 6th Church Jesus did not not point out a fault.
7 the last Church age with many hypocrites and people loving money the prosperity Gospel.
Which the love of money is the root of all evil for it neglects the poor and the needy, and love is the fulfilling of the law.
The Roman Catholic Church is false being of paganism and the occult and the Pope will support the New Age Christ.
1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron.
2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
The new age christianity.
The New Age Christ will negotiate peace in the Middle East resulting in a peace treaty.
He will then push the agenda of the new age which the Pope will embrace that and support him.
