The AC?
Q-115 - 4th Jan 22 - The AC?
Did Bp V actually just say that the new pope is an Anti-Christ? Or is this just a hearing problem at Taylor Marshall dot inc? Crosswires here or is this a sign of decay, decline, degeneration?
Gosh, really? But on closer reading possibly not, so says the grande old man of controversy in the Canadian and American vein, Taylor, not Taylor Swift. But there are two basic diametric theories that introduce us to this whole tenor of discussion. On the one hand the first comes from the Theologians of the AC who argue strenuously that the present Age is the Age of Chapter 17 of Revelations. On the other hand, there are Theologians of Cataclysm who argue that the present Age is the Age of Chapter 8 of Revelations. Go read them for yourselves if you would like more on the Bible about these two theories. The one that interests us as a responsory to the Quaesitum above is the First One, sometimes called the Anti-Christ Agenda after the book of the same name by Shelton & Quinn. This First One interests us because it often goes with a search in ancient pages for clues as to the real Identity of the Fifth AC maybe in this present age, following the indicators already hinted at by the irrepressible Nostrodamus who predicts that there have been Four to date in human history - Napoleon, Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot. But generally it is assumed by most commentators among modern but slightly heretical post-christian mystics that the Chapter 17 Figure has to be an ecclesiastical figure, dressed in whited sepulchre white, hence the interest in the two modern popes as ACs, despite the obscure and noteworthy indicators in Chapter 17 itself that show that the AC when he arrives he will rather be exercising civil power as the personification of the seven heads and ten horns or whatever, symbolic language at the best of times. Emperors indicated of the imperial household is the standard assumption here, either at Rome or at Jerusalem as the great city that has fallen. No, but clearly any objective commentator on those scriptures would point out that the figure of the AC in that Chapter, in the written and unambiguous writings of the scriptures, clearly indicates a civil leader exercising enormous civil power and influence all over the hapless Christians, much like Taylor seems to suggest himself, either something more probably like a Xi or a Barack or a Bill or a George or a Jeff maybe whichever, just to bounce the original Question back to the New World. No doubt, according to the Revelations, the AC will exercise civil power and influence, an influencer maybe on Instagram, so highly unlikely that he or she would ever be the largely innocent and innocuous moderne popes. Moreover in Chapter 17 the AC does not act alone, he will be closely tied to the eventual demise of some dancing girl, some female demagogue actress of some kind who will be his false prophetess, another Jezebel, and here in this book she is called the "Whore of Babylon", though it is difficult to see whether this figure represents an actual woman in history or maybe an institute or a nation-state perhaps. Something to ponder. Either way, the whole drift of the identification industry in Revelations seems to move away from some celibate lone wolf ecclesiastical figure like the new pope - it is quite other, so Taylor and his Bishop friend might have popped their clogs at this point and over-egged the puddings of Christmas jollification - a serious matter mind, since to attribute a sin of such magnitude to an officer of the Holy Spirit is to impugn the Holy Spirit who guarantees the Church, an unforgiveable sin even for the apostles at the time of the First Incarnation of Jesus. Evidently there are some ex-anglican episcopalians who do not understand that the indefectability of the Church is also a sincere dogma, not to be perfuddled by endless and pointless and herewith inaccurate speculations about some AC who may or may not have come already. An AC? Herewith doubtful.
