Were you able to discern what position Dr Carson takes on the book of Revelation
he addresses the 'preterist approach', the 'historical approach', the 'futurist approach', and the 'idealist approach', and then goes on to say, "Along with several recent commentators, we find some truth in all four of these views. Yet it is the futurist approach that comes closest to doing justice to the nature and purposes of Revelation
Hi Matthew, I am new to reformed theology does your statement here what I call replacement theology?
If the Papacy is the Antichrist, and I believe it myself, what's the significance of that, and is it good to "obsess" about it?
Probably for another thread.
Robert,
Are you channeling Lyman Stowe here?![]()

Well this thread is as good as any other seeing it is dealing with the subject of the Roman Pope being the Antichrist, IF the fallen bishoprick of Rome or papacy is THE Antichrist there is much importance & significance in the matter.
It still has bearing in many regards today, there is still the matter of prophecy needing to be fulfilled, the destruction of the city of rome, mystery babylon or the seat of the beast, & the ongoing destruction of Antichrist's Kingdom through the preaching of the word or "breath of his mouth" and his ultimate & final destruction at The Coming of Our Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ "with the brightness of his coming" 2 Thess 2:8.
You have the small matter of ecclesiastical relations, the antichristian,fallen & reprobate "catholic church" ought to be continually marked as such by the True Churches of Christ & separated from, with no ecumenical dialogue or relations practised, or in other words Churches ought to be thoroughly Protestant.
Because the Prophetic Promise in 2 Thess 2:8 has the Antichrist's Kingdom withered by the preaching of the Word of God,
there needs to be a wholesale turning back of the Church's of Christ to the Reformation or Received Text & a forsaking of
the Vatican or ecumenical Critical texts to best bring this about, now can you see why there has been such an attack on
The Scriptures by Antichrist & his jesuit henchmen through the use of Higher & Lower Textual Criticism, plus also a need for the restoration of the preaching of the True Scriptual, Protestant & Reformed Doctrines of the blessed Reformation.
In Relation to Civil Government, thoroughly Christian Constitutions need to be put into place, with The Lord Jesus Christ acknowledged His Laws established, ALL Ten Commandments Theonomically enforced in the Light of The New Testament revelation & general equity, with Christian Magistrates raised up who ought to be subject to a Scriptual & Religious Subscription Test, & the Cancelling, Abolishing & Annulment of all Romish Vatican Concordant's, as well as the abolition of vatican romish civil statute canon law or Admiralty Law & the re-establishment of a Scripturally mandated Christian Common Law, essentially no more Fornicating between the kings of the earth & the harlot.
Also a reintroduction of a Scriptural precious metal backed non-fiat currency & the abolition of romish controlled "Central" banking system which is used to enslave, impoverish, defraud, plunder & reign over the nations & the kings of the earth, through which merchants of the earth are waxed rich, because according to prophesy Rev 17 & 18 the woman which thou (John) sawest is that great city (Rome).
Good question Peairtach.
“Should “the Pope’s the Antichrist” be a good way of approaching Roman Catholics evangelistically, or is it “strong meat” that should be left out until later?”
If it is true, then it is of great importance to state that up front.
From the perspective of an historicist, it is absolutely true … he is either the first beast or the second of Revelation … I personally believe he is the second or False Prophet … the word “vatic” means prophet.
If the mark of the beast described in Revelation being on the right hand and/or forehead is Rome’s “sign of the cross” always displayed with right hand and placed on the forehead of the infant followers of the beast at their baptism and upon the forehead of the adult followers of the beast on Ash Wednesdays, then they are lost and should immediately be evangelistically warned “to come out of her”.
I believe it was around 300AD that the “sign of the cross” was introduced, along with bells, candles, icons of Mary and other Romish practices.
