The Catholic Church is the Fulfillment of the Antichrist

History proves that the Catholic Church position as to the fulfillment of the Antichrist is inconsistent. From the time of the so called Early church fathers up to the present time, their explanation on the matter have not cleared the issues, but in fact had made it more muddled up.

For example, the identities or the fulfillment of the four beasts of Daniel 7 is crucial in the identification of the Antichrist, Because the” little horn” generally believed as the Antichrist, appeared on the scene in the reign of the fourth beast. So if the fourth beast is the Roman Empire, the Catholic Church would fall into the time frame when the “little horn-Antichrist” appeared. A finger of suspicion is aimed at them as being the Antichrist.

Indeed the fourth world ruling kingdom is the Roman Empire according to history. This historical fact, and as being the fulfillment of the four beasts of Daniel 7, was supported by a famous English Catholic Bishop Richard Challoner. According to him, these four world kingdoms were “the Chaldean, Persian, Grecian, and Roman empires.” This definitely places the Catholic Church in the time frame of the emergence of the Antichrist. This is the “authorized interpretation “ of the Catholic Church during those times, 17th Century.

To avoid this, the Catholic Church released its “latest authorized” interpretation as to these four beasts or empires. According to this latest interpretation, the alleged chronological succession is as follows: Babylonian, Median, Persian, and Grecian Empire— the fourth beast is not the Roman Empire anymore. The “little horn-Antichrist” therefore was fulfilled to another personality or kingdom. To Antiochus Epiphanes.

But they cannot avoid the truth. The first beast of Revelation 13 according to them is the Roman Empire, and the second beast obviously refers to the Antichrist. This Antichrist, according to the same chapter, had come into contact and collaborated with the Roman Empire (first beast). What Church has had this opportunity? There is only one and one alone. It is none other than the Catholic Church.
