and more recently, Spurgeon,

Bishop J.C. Ryle and Dr. Martyn

Lloyd-Jones; these men among

countless others, all saw the office

of the Papacy as the antichrist….

The Reformers and their heirs

were great scholars and knew the

Word of God and the Holy Spirit as

a living teacher.”

- All Roads Lead to Rome, pp. 205, 206

“Martin Luther was the first to

identify the papacy as such with

the Antichrist. At first he

discounted the value of John’s

Apocalypse. But then he saw in it

a revelation of the Church of Rome

as the deceiving Antichrist… a

view that was to become dogma

for all Protestant churches.”

Rom 2:28 For

he is not a Jew,

which is one

outwardly;

neither is that

circumcision,

which is

outward in the

flesh:

Rom 2:29 But

he is a Jew,

which is one

inwardly; and

circumcision is

that of the heart,

in the spirit, and

not in the letter;

whose praise is

not of men, but

of God.

Rom 9:6 Not as though the word of

God hath taken none effect. For

they are not all Israel, which are of

Israel:

Rom 9:7 Neither, because they are

the seed of Abraham, are they all

children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed

be called.

Rom 9:8 That is, They which are

the children of the flesh, these are

not the children of God: but the

children of the promise are counted

for the seed.

Gal 3:26, 27 For ye are all the

children of God by faith in Christ

Jesus. For as many of you as have

been baptized into Christ have put

on Christ.

Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor

Greek, there is neither bond nor

free, there is neither male nor

female: for ye are all one in Christ

Jesus.

Gal 3:29 And if ye be Christ's, then are

ye Abraham's seed, and

Rom 9:8 That is, They which are

the children of the flesh, these are

not the children of God: but the

are counted

for the seed.

Rom 11:26 And so all Israel shall

be saved:

Mat 24:42, 44 Watch therefore:

for ye know not what hour your

Lord doth come. But know this,

that if the goodman of the house

had known in what watch the

thief would come,

Mat 24:42, 44 …he would have

watched, and would not have

suffered his house to be broken

up. Therefore be ye also ready:

for in such an hour as ye think

not the Son of man cometh.

Mat 24:42, 44 …he would have

watched, and would not have

suffered his house to be broken

up. Therefore be ye also ready:

for in such an hour as ye think

not the Son of man cometh.

2Pe 3:10 But the day of the Lord will

come as a thief in the night;

2Pe 3:10 But the day of the Lord will

come as a thief in the night; in the

which the heavens shall pass away

with and the elements

shall melt with fervent heat, the earth

also and the works that are therein

shall be burned up.

Rev 3:3 …If therefore thou shalt not

watch, I will come on thee as a thief,

Rev 3:3 …If therefore thou shalt not

watch, I will come on thee as a thief,

and thou shalt not know I

will come upon thee.

Behind”

you, in that night

there shall be two

men in one bed;

the one shall be

taken, and the

other shall be left.

Luk 17:34-36 Two

women shall be

grinding together;

the one shall be

taken, and the

other left. Two

the field; the one

shall be taken,

and the other left.

Luk 17:37 And they answered and

said unto him, Where, Lord?

Luk 17:37 And he said unto them,

Wheresoever the body is, thither will the

eagles be gathered together.

Mat 24:28 For wheresoever the carcass

is, there will the eagles be gathered

together.

“But as the

days of Noe

were, so

shall also

the coming

of the Son

of man be.”- Matt. 24:37

Mat 24:38 For as in the days that were

before the flood they were eating and

drinking, marrying and giving in marriage,

until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

Mat 24:39 And knew not until the flood

came, and all away; so shall

also the coming of the Son of man be.

Mat 24:40,41 Then

shall two be in the

field; the one shall

be taken, and the

other left. Two

women shall be

grinding at the

mill; the one shall

be taken, and the

other left.

Gen 7:23 …Noah only remained

Jesus gives no hint that

His return will be secret.

“as the lightning” and

solemnly warns us about

deceptions.
