What is still so little understood, but crucial to grasp, is that the Roman Catholic *Papal* Church has *been* THE (Biblical) antichrist since 538AD. When the Bishop of Rome ascended the Roman *state* throne taking on the Babylonian High Priest's title, Pontifex Maximus, thereby reestablishing it's church/state system, it became THE little horn/antichrist/(sea)beast/Whore of Babylon as clearly revealed in the sister prophetic books of Daniel (authored 2600 yrs ago) and Revelation (2000 yrs ago) by over a dozen precise prophetic identifiers. The Babylonian priesthood's order having settled in Pergamon after getting the boot by Cyrus. Interestingly it was that order's temple in Pergamos that served as Obama's stage set for his DNC acceptance speech in 2008. Of particular note as well is verse Rev2:12,13 in the letter addressing the church in Pergamos. https://youtu.be/uKcXTYWh2F0
