Why Do So Many People Believe That Pope Francis Is The AntiChrist

Antichrist with the devil, from the Deeds of the Antichrist Circa 1501

  Who is the Antichrist ? Well some people are saying that the current pope is the antichrist. Other people are saying that our current President is the antichrist. There are even others pointing at other religions or other people. As for myself I don't know who is the antichrist. Could it be either of the two mentioned above, well all we can do is keep an eye on all current events and keep praying. Take a look at this article from catholic answers http://www.catholic.com/blog/tim-staples/is-pope-francis-the-final-roman-pontiff . If you are looking for information about the antichrist there are many good websites on the internet, but be aware there are just as many bad websites out there spreading many false truths about the Catholic Church. If you are going to comment on the Catholic Church my advise is to read books written by Catholics so you get the correct understanding.
 

  Here is an excellent link to information about the Pope being the Antichrist http://www.catholic.com/tracts/the-antichrist . If you are interested in some other reading here is another link http://encountering-ahnsahnghong.blogspot.com/2011/09/pope-is-not-antichrist-summary-of-is.html .
I would also check out this webpage from the Catholic Encyclopedia http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/01559a.htm . Finally here is another excellent article about Pope Francis being the Antichrist http://catholicozarks.blogspot.com/2013/09/is-pope-francis-antichrist.html . As you can see there are many different websites out there pointing fingers at who is and who isn't the Antichrist.
   I myself can see through all the events that have taken place in the Vatican and what Pope Francis has said lately that it could surely be thought he is the Antichrist. One of the current problems is with Facebook and the many news articles that have popped up saying the Pope said this or that. If you really look into it you will find that generally these new articles are false or they have totally taken what he had said out of context. The same problem has happened with things that President Obama has said as well. Now I found this website where the person points out a number of things about Pope Francis so I would suggest that it be read http://theboeskool.com/2013/11/24/10-things-pope-francis-has-done-that-make-me-consider-being-catholic/  . I still say that everyone should stand back and take a good look at what Pope Francis has done or said. Then look at the things that Jesus did and said.
  I do believe that we are definitely in the end times and Jesus will be coming soon. The only problem I see with the antichrist is that everyone is pointing fingers at everyone. This person is the antichrist and that person is the antichrist. I see people pointing fingers at different religions and saying they are the antichrist. This just shows how crazy this world is getting and how the violence is coming from everywhere. What exactly is an antichrist ? Check out the Wikipedia webpage at this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antichrist .  Here is a dictionary meaning of the word antichrist.

Antichrist

 noun    (Concise Encyclopedia)

Chief enemy of Christ who would reign at the end of time, first mentioned in the epistles of St. John. The idea of a mighty ruler who will appear at the end of time to fight against the forces of good was adapted from Judaism; the Jewish concept in turn had been influenced by Iranian and Babylonian myths of the battle of God and the devil at the end of time. In the Book of Daniel the evil one is a military leader modeled on Antiochus IV Epiphanes, who persecuted the Jews. In several books of the New Testament, the Antichrist is a tempter who works by signs and wonders and seeks divine honors. It was a potent concept in medieval Christianity that received the attention of many commentators including Adso of Montier-en-Der, whose work became the basic medieval treatise on the Antichrist. During the Middle Ages, popes and emperors struggling for power often denounced each other as the Antichrist, and during the Reformation, Martin Luther and other Protestant leaders identified the papacy itself as the Antichrist.

  On a final thought all we can do is keep watch as Jesus said to do, because Satan will come as a thief in the night
Revelation 16 Verse 15:  "Look, I will come as unexpectedly as a thief! Blessed are all who are watching for me, who keep their clothing ready so they will not have to walk around naked and ashamed."
