I'm not getting it. So you are suggesting that our Pope is an evil genius and in the end .All 2 billion Catholics are going to against Christ. That's lunatic! That all the work that the "night's of Columbus" feeding and clothing the pour in the name of Christ. Loving and caring for millions of people while other

This interpretation sounded good 400 years ago but by now certainly you have started to realize that it is dated. The RCC lost its place in the world and the world moved on. They certainly demonstrated that spirit of antichrist that has been in the world since John wrote about it, nevertheless the prophecy of Daniel that Jesus said would be the signal to look up, and the prophecy that Paul said would happen in the Day of the Lord which had not come yet when he wrote (even though there were many antichrist spirits) this prophesy is still future an it turned out that it was not the Pope which is today a laughing stock to the world and has no power over any nation nor will he ever again. That ship has sailed. The world has moved on.
Thank you for saying this. (however, you could of left out the laughing stock part. lol). The pope is the most studied priest for us Catholics. 90% of the people that we serve are non Catholic, But they are still God's people and we we never stop doing the Lord's work no matter how badly we are criticized.

My apologies. I could have rephrased it. It was rude.
Rephrase:...
No one considers the RCC or the Pope a threat as they were when they literally controlled world powers and kings. To suggest that they are doing so today is a laughable conspiracy theory from a mind set that is stuck in a middle age fantasy of reality.

If memory serves, the answer is no, because the reigning monarch is free to name another successor (within the family line) to the throne when their own next of kin is deemed unfit for whatever reason. This has caused many power struggles and heads to roll in the past

Hello TruthSeeker!
Yes, that is correct! I believe that the church will be gathered prior to the first seal being opened, which initiates God's wrath, i.e. the seven year tribulation period, with the last 3 1/2 years referred to as 'the great tribulation.' I do not use a single scripture, but all of the scriptural information regarding this subject, as I do with all other Biblical subjects.
The underlying principle here is that, most everything--if not all--that God does is a legal process. That said, since Jesus took upon himself God's wrath which every believer deserves, satisfying it completely, then God's wrath no longer rests upon those who believe in His Son. Therefore, those in Christ who living just prior to the first seal being opened, must be gathered from the earth. The Lamb/Jesus is the One opening the seals which leads into the trumpets and bowl judgments. He is therefore the One responsible for the resulting fatalities from the seals, trumpets and bowl judgments.
=============================================================
Surely He took on our infirmities and carried our sorrows; yet we considered Him stricken by God, struck down and afflicted.
But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him,
and by His stripes we are healed. - Isaiah 53:4-5
============================================================
It is the same legal principle which says "unless there is a shedding of blood there is no forgiveness for sins." Since Jesus who was without sin, shed His righteous blood for our sins, then that legal requirement has already been fulfilled and satisfied and the debt is therefore no longer owed by those who believe in Him.
In further support of this, we know from scripture that God does not punish the righteous with the wicked. We see this demonstrated when Abraham spoke with the Lord regarding Lot. And because God does not punish the righteous with the wicked, He first removed Lot, his wife (although she disobeyed) and His daughters from the area of Sodom before pouring out His wrath. He will also remove His church, His bride, before the pouring out of His wrath as well. However, since the seals, trumpets and bowl judgments will come upon the whole world, decimating the majority of the earths population and dismantling all human government, then there would be no where for us to escape to in the world and we will therefore He will keep us out of that time of tribulation by calling us up.
In the case of the church, we have a promise made by the Lord revealed in John 14:1-3 that He was going to the Father's house (heaven) to prepare places for us (believers) and that He would come back again to gather us and take us back to the Father's house to those places that He prepared. I Thessalonians 4:16-17 is the detailed account of that promise when He descends from heaven to the atmosphere and first resurrects those who have died in Him and then changes and calls up the living believers. At that point the entire church from beginning to end will be present to meet the Lord in the air. Where at which point He will take the entire church/bride back to the Father's house. Sometime after that the wrath of God will begin with the first seal being opened, which represents the revealing of rider on the white horse who is the antichrist.
As an example of the severity of God's coming wrath, with just the 4th seal and 6th trumpet (a fourth and a third, respectively) , this would equal well over half the earths population killed within that first 3 1/2 years of that seven year period. And that's not including the fatalities that will result from trumpets 1, 2 & 3, nor the fatalities from the bowl judgments. This fit perfectly with when Jesus said, "If those days had not been shortened, no one on earth would survive."
There is much more that I could present on this subject, but I think that you get the idea.

I'm saying that the RCC with one of its future popes as their leader, will play the part of the woman who rides the beast.
Regarding feeding and clothing the poor etc., does not save anyone. We are saved by grace through faith and this not by our own selves. It is the gift of God, not by works. You know what the word counterfeit means? There are many on the earth today doing the works that you mentioned above, but do not belong to the Lord. If you will look at what the RCC believes and teaches, you quickly find out that this religious system is not of Christ. The wicked all over the world are performing good works, but are condemned and that because they believe in another Jesus and another gospel. Jesus gave an example of this when He said that many will say to him "Lord, Lord! Did we not prophesy in your name and cast out demons and do many miracles in your name?" And He will say to them, "depart from me you evil doers, I never knew you! This example shows that people will have trusted in their own works by saying "did we not." No one will get into the kingdom of God by performing works. But by doing good works, we glorify God and will receive reward for them, but we are not saved by doing them. Anyone who is hoping in salvation by their works, will be greatly disappointed to say the least. It is our faith in Jesus as the One who shed His blood for our sins that we are saved.
