Then I saw another beast come up out of the earth. He had two horns like those
of a lamb, but he spoke with the voice of a dragon. He exercised all the authority of the first beast on his behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been
healed. And he performed great and miraculous signs, even causing fire to come down from
heaven to earth in full view of men.
He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to
receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead,so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. (Rev 14)
The Bible prophesies that a reborn Holy Roman Empire will be in power at the time of the Second Coming of Jesus. The Holy Roman Empire first came into existence in 800 AD when Pope Leo III placed a crown on the head of Charlemagne, pronouncing him emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. The empire, throughout its 1,200- year history, has always been a union of politics and religion-thus the name “Holy-Roman”. Its leadership has always consisted of an alliance between a political leader and a religious leader. The political leader has always come from Europe, and the religious leader has always been the pope of the Roman Catholic Church.
It will be the same in the re-born Holy Roman Empire. Ultimately, the man called the Antichrist (or the beast) in the Bible will become the leader of the re-born empire. Whoever is pope at the time of the Antichrist-that man will be the False Prophet.
This should not come as a shock, even to Roman Catholics. It is taught in many Catholic prophecy books that there is an evil pope coming. (See The Coming Chastisement by Yves Dupont.)
Keep your eye on this next Pope. It seems as if the time of the False Prophet has arrived!
