My counter to that is that the Pope is the Antichrist (the Sea Beast of Rev. 13, the Little Horn of Daniel 7 and the Man of Sin and the guy who caused the Falling Away of 2 Thessalonians 2), but he's controlled by the Jesuit Superior General (the False Prophet, the other Little Horn of Daniel 7, the Earth Beast of Rev. 13).
You're taking the Mark of the Beast (reverence and obeisance to the Pope) if you're a Catholic, or practice any form of Christianity (of which 2.4 billion people here are taking the mark) or Islam (of which 1.9 billion people are taking the mark), or Judaism (Pharisees also take the mark). Not to mention that the Roman Catholic Church, alongside the Jesuit Order when they were created, deceiving billions of people so you never know the historical fulfillment of Revelation, Daniel 9 and the Olivet Discourse.
By that logic, I took the Mark for over 22 years, and started seriously reading into historicism. This is the ultimate counter to Preterism and Futurism (both of which were made by Jesuit beasts [false priest = beast]), and historicism is how you war against Lucifer and his army, since his base is in the Vatican.
Use a 1599 Geneva ONLY... not a King James (it's evil) at all. That's another method to give a middle finger to the Pope and the General.
