Antichrist Revealed

1. Our Lady Prophesied that Rome will become the Seat of Antichrist

As we’ve seen, on Sept. 19, 1846, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared in La Salette, France, and foretold that:

“Rome will lose the faith and become the Seat of the Antichrist… the Church will be in eclipse.”

Our Lady specifically predicted that Rome would lose the Catholic faith, fall into apostasy from the true Church of Christ and become the Seat of the Antichrist. But what is antichrist?

2. Antichrist defined

In all of Sacred Scripture, the word antichrist is only mentioned four times. The word antichrist is not mentioned at all in the Apocalypse and it is not mentioned by St. Paul (who only uses the terms “son of perdition” and “man of sin”). The word antichrist is only mentioned by St. John the Apostle in his epistles.

Therefore, in looking for the definition of Antichrist, we must first look to St. John’s epistles, not the Apocalypse; for St. John uses and defines the word Antichrist and the Apocalypse does not. Out of the four times that St. John uses the word Antichrist, he only defines it twice. The two definitions that St. John gives for Antichrist are the most important pieces of evidence that exist in identifying who the Antichrist actually is, because Sacred Scripture is the inspired, infallible and inerrant Word of God. Therefore, Sacred Scripture’s definition of Antichrist is infallibly the correct one.

1 John 2:22 – “Who is a liar, but he who denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, who denieth the Father, and the Son.”

1 John 4:2-3 – “Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, is of God: And every spirit that dissolveth Jesus is not of God: and this is Antichrist, of whom you have heard that he cometh...”

Both definitions of Antichrist deal with a denial of the truth about who Jesus Christ is. The truth about Our Lord Jesus Christ and the truth about the Most Holy Trinity are the very foundations of the Christian religion. They are the most important truths in the universe.

This is why the early councils of the Catholic Church condemned with the utmost vigor even the slightest deviation from the truth about Jesus Christ or the Trinity. And this is why the greatest enemies of Jesus Christ in history were not those men who caused Christ’s followers temporal harm, but those who were most effective and blasphemous in attacking the truth about Jesus Christ – which is the very foundation of one’s eternal salvation.

Thus, in defining “Antichrist,” Sacred Scripture refers to a specific attack on the truth about Jesus Christ, a specific attack on the truth about the God-man. Sacred Scripture refers specifically to the dissolving of Jesus (1 John 4:2-3) and the denial that Jesus is the Christ (1 John 2:22). These two things serve as the distinguishing characteristic of the Antichrist, according to Sacred Scripture, and these two things clearly refer to an attack on the truth of the Incarnation of the Son of God.

One of the first and most notorious men in Church history to pervert the doctrine of the Incarnation was the 5th century heretic Nestorius, who was condemned by the Council of Ephesus in 431. The case of the heretic Nestorius is very important in identifying the Antichrist and how it has overtaken the Vatican, as we will see, because Nestorius’s heresy was the specific heresy which fits the Bible’s definition for Antichrist.

Nestorius was the heretic who tried to dissolve Jesus (1 John 4:2-3), and he did so by perverting the truth of the Incarnation.

Pope Pius XI, Lux Veritatis (# 37), Dec. 25, 1931: “…all these, no less than Nestorius, make a temerarious attempt to ‘DISSOLVE CHRIST,’...”[3]

Pope Pius XI here confirms that Nestorius’s heresy was the specific doctrine of Antichrist – it was an attempt to dissolve the Person of Jesus Christ, which is the mark of Antichrist, according to Scripture. Keep this fact in mind (that Nestorius’s doctrine of the “dissolving of Jesus” was the specific doctrine of Antichrist as described by Sacred Scripture), as it will become especially relevant soon.

But what was this doctrine of Nestorius? How did Nestorius “DISSOLVE” Jesus and in so doing become what St. John defines as “Antichrist”? In order to understand Nestorius’s doctrine, we must very briefly repeat the Catholic truth of the Incarnation.

The Catholic Church teaches that the eternal Word – the Son of God – the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity – assumed a human nature and truly became a man. St. John 1:14: “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us.”

Our Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Word made flesh. He is truly God and He is also truly man. He is one Christ – One Divine Person with two natures.

Pope St. Leo the Great, Council of Chalcedon, 451, ex cathedra: “… we all with one voice teach the confession of one and same Son, our Lord Jesus Christ: the same perfect in divinity and perfect in humanity, the same truly God and truly man, of a rational soul and a body… one and same Christ… a single person and subsistent being; He is not parted or divided into two persons, but is one and the same only-begotten Son, God, Word, Lord Jesus Christ…”[4]

But Nestorius rejected that Our Lord Jesus Christ is one person. Nestorius blasphemously dissolved Jesus into two persons. Nestorius blasphemously held that the Son of God did not become man in the Incarnation, but rather that the Son of God united himself in a certain way with a man named Jesus.

Text Box: WE REPEAT, NESTORIUS DID NOT HOLD THAT THE SON OF GOD BECAME MAN IN THE INCARNATION, BUT RATHER THAT THE SON OF GOD UNITED HIMSELF IN A CERTAIN WAY WITH A MAN NAMED JESUS. Does this sound familiar?

Antipope John Paul II, Redemptor Hominis #13, March 4, 1979: “… by his Incarnation, he, the Son of God, in a certain way united himself with EACH MAN.”[5]

Antipope John Paul II, Homily, July 2, 1986: “… the Son of God, incarnate in the womb of the Virgin Mary, ‘has in a certain way united himself with each man.’”[6]

Antipope John Paul II, Homily, April 8, 1987: “… by his incarnation the Son of God has united himself in a certain way with EACH PERSON.”[7]

Antipope John Paul II, Letter to Families (# 2): “… the Son of God, who in the Incarnation ‘united himself in some sense with every man.’”[8]

And by holding that the Son of God did not become man, but rather united Himself with a man named Jesus in the Incarnation, Nestorius dissolved or divided Our Lord Jesus Christ into two persons.

Pope St. Leo the Great, Dogmatic Letter to Flavian, 449: “Let Nestorius, therefore, be anathematized… he made one person of the flesh, and another of the Godhead, AND DID NOT PERCEIVE THAT THERE WAS BUT ONE CHRIST…”[9]

And by dissolving or dividing Our Lord Jesus Christ into two persons, Nestorius’s Antichrist doctrine logically resulted in the worship of two Christs, and introduced, as a consequence, THE WORSHIP OF MAN!

Pope Vigilius, Second Council of Constantinople, 553: “The holy synod of Ephesus… has pronounced sentence against the heresy of Nestorius… and all those who might later… adopt the same opinions as he held… They express these falsehoods against the true dogmas of the Church, OFFERING WORSHIP TO TWO SONS, trying to divide that which cannot be divided, AND INTRODUCING TO BOTH HEAVEN AND EARTH THE OFFENCE OF THE WORSHIP OF MAN. But the sacred band of heavenly spirits worship along with us only one Lord Jesus Christ.”[10]

In this incredible quotation, the dogmatic Second Council of Constantinople teaches that the blasphemous dissolving of Jesus into two persons by Nestorius’s view of the Incarnation, resulted in the worship of two sons, and introduced as a consequence THE WORSHIP OF MAN. We repeat, NESTORIUS’S HERETICAL VIEW OF THE INCARNATION RESULTED IN THE WORSHIP OF TWO SONS, AND INTRODUCED, AS A CONSEQUENCE, THE WORSHIP OF MAN. This was the very doctrine described by St. John as the doctrine of the Antichrist. Does it sound familiar?

Antipope John Paul II, Redemptor Hominis (# 10), March 4, 1979: “IN REALITY, THE NAME FOR THAT DEEP AMAZEMENT AT MAN’S WORTH AND DIGNITY IS THE GOSPEL, THAT IS TO SAY: THE GOOD NEWS. IT IS ALSO CALLED CHRISTIANITY.”[11]

Yes, Antipope John Paul II preached the heresy of Nestorius – the very doctrine of the Antichrist. He preached the dissolving of Jesus in the Incarnation, which results in the worship of multiple Christs and the worship of man!

Here, in his very first encyclical, Redemptor Hominis, Antipope John Paul II explicitly defined the Gospel, the Good News and Christianity as the deep amazement at man. The Gospel is the Life of Jesus Christ! By saying that the deep amazement at each man is the Gospel, the Good News and Christianity, Antipope John Paul II indicated that each man is Jesus Christ whom Christians worship. And this worship of each man as Christ springs from Antipope John Paul II’s teaching that the Son of God united Himself with each man in the Incarnation!

Furthermore, while the similarity between Nestorius and Antipope John Paul II is undeniable, there is a crucial difference between the two. There is a crucial difference between the preliminary Antichrist, Nestorius, and Antipope John Paul II, whose doctrine represents the fulfillment of Our Lady’s prophecy that Rome will become the Seat of the Antichrist. The difference is that Antipope John Paul II’s preaching was six billion times worse. Nestorius dissolved Jesus into two (resulting in the worship of two Christs), while Antipope John Paul II dissolved Jesus into six billion, which resulted in the worship of six billion Christs.

Antipope John Paul II, General Audience, Jan. 25, 1984: “Christ, the Son of God, by becoming flesh, assumes the humanity of every man… At this point he becomes united with every person… In the Encyclical Redemptor Hominis I wrote that ‘the name for that deep amazement at man’s worth and dignity is the Gospel, that is to say, the Good News. It is also called Christianity.’”[12]

Here we have Antipope John Paul II illustrating his dissolving of Jesus (his doctrine of the Antichrist) and his worship of man with cause and effect precision. He tells us that because the Son of God was united with each man in the Incarnation, that is, because the Son of God was dissolved into each man in the Incarnation, the name for Christianity is the deep amazement at each man; because by virtue of that event, every man is Jesus Christ. Every man is truly Son of God and truly man. We will prove in this article that this doctrine of the Antichrist, that each man became the Son of God in the Incarnation and is therefore Jesus Christ, is what Antipope John Paul II preached to the world.

3. Each man must take possession of the Incarnation

Just prior to defining Christianity as the deep amazement at man in his first encyclical Redemptor Hominis, Antipope John Paul II wrote the following:

Antipope John Paul II, Redemptor Hominis (# 10): “The man who wishes to understand himself thoroughly… he must ‘appropriate’ and assimilate the whole of the reality of the Incarnation and Redemption in order to find himself. If this profound process takes place within him, he then bears fruit not only of adoration of God but also of deep wonder at himself.”[13]

To appropriate something is to “take possession of it.”[14] To assimilate something is to absorb it. Therefore, Antipope John Paul II is saying here that man must take possession of the Incarnation (that is, he must take possession of the fact that God became man) in order to find himself. This means that man must understand that he is a God-man in order to find himself.

When this happens in man, according to Antipope John Paul II, man will not only possess adoration of God, “but also of deep wonder at himself,” because he will learn that he too is Christ, the Son of God who has become man. This is why Antipope John Paul II defined Christianity as the deep amazement at each man in the very next paragraph of this encyclical (quoted already).

Antipope John Paul II, Redemptor Hominis (# 10), March 4, 1979: “The man who wishes to understand himself thoroughly… he must ‘appropriate’ and assimilate the whole of the reality of the Incarnation and Redemption in order to find himself… IN REALITY, THE NAME FOR THAT DEEP AMAZEMENT AT MAN’S WORTH AND DIGNITY IS THE GOSPEL, THAT IS TO SAY: THE GOOD NEWS. IT IS ALSO CALLED CHRISTIANITY.”[15]

Moreover, Antipope John Paul II repeated his important message (about taking possession of the Incarnation in order to find man) numerous times in his writings (Catechesi Tradendae # 61; Veritatis Splendor # 8), since, as we have already shown, it is the foundation for the entire Gospel of Antichrist.

So at least three times in his writings, Antipope John Paul II taught that man must take possession of the Incarnation in order to find himself. And immediately after the first time he mentions this in Redemptor Hominis, Antipope John Paul II confirms his real meaning by defining Christianity as the deep amazement at each man, confirming that this worship of each man flows directly from the Incarnation.

4. The Gospel is the Good News of man

Antipope John Paul II defined the Gospel as the deep amazement at man in his first encyclical and numerous other times. But Antipope John Paul II also defined the Gospel as the Good News of Jesus Christ. He defined it both ways because his message was that every man is Jesus Christ.

Antipope John Paul II, Address, March 7, 1983: “The Gospel is a person: it is Jesus Christ.”[16]

Antipope John Paul II, Homily, June 1, 1980: “Not only is the Gospel message addressed to man, but it is a great Messianic message about man; it is the revelation to man of the complete truth about himself…”[17]

Antipope John Paul II, Redemptoris Missio (# 13): “Jesus himself is the ‘Good News,’ … he proclaims the ‘Good News’ not just by what he says or does, but by what he is.”
