First of all, it's called "Revelation", not "Revelations". The Greek word "Apocalypsis" is singular.
Your interpretation of this highly symbolic book is not sound doctrine, especially since no prophecy of scripture is revealed by private interpretation (2 Peter 1:20). Revelation was written when John was in exile by Domitian, so yes, the references to Rome are in code, but they're certainly not coded to predict the Roman empire turning Christian and that somehow being a BAD thing. That's pure ignorance. Plain and simple.
If you seriously think the Pope is the "Antichrist", idk what to tell you. I understand if people don't want to be Catholic and I'm not saying you have to be, but this "antichrist" business is delusional Jack Chick bullshit.
The interpretation is common knowledge of the protestants, countless thousands of whom were tortured and murdered by the Whore of Babylon aka the Catholic Church, slide
The Roman Empire didn't "turn Christian", as Catholicism does not equal Christianity, and at its core is blasphemous to Christ and His sacrifice. Christ is our direct link to the Father, not the pope or anybody else.
Oh, and the protestants knew the pope was the antichrist, but since the ecumenical movement and the WCC, our protestant preachers have lost sight of this and somehow look to the future for the antichrist, kek. It's always been the papacy.
"The interpretation is common knowledge of the protestants"
Yep a whopping 400 year old interpretation. Why not trust that, right?
"Catholicism does not equal Christianity"
If Catholics aren't Christians then that means Islam is the largest religion in the world. Your views are ignorant and shameful of a self-proclaimed "Christian".
"Christ is our direct link to the Father, not the pope or anybody else."
Cool, no Catholic will disagree?
"the protestants knew the pope was the antichrist"
Once again, an interpretation that goes back a few hundred years and created by Luther (who called for genocide) and Calvin (who personally had people executed for disagreeing with his theology). Not a good look! Just because nutcases a few hundred years ago claimed the pope was the antichrist doesn't mean they're RIGHT? Especially since the antichrist will claim to BE God? (2 Thessalonians 2:4) The pope doesn't claim to BE God, so maybe rethink the whole "pope is the antichrist" claim...
Try putting down the Jack Chick kool aid and actually talking with a Catholic about what they believe for a change. You might actually learn something.
The pope doesn't equate himself to God? Lmao ok then, maybe he won't outright say it but if everybody jumps when he says jump, it will be the same in essence, and that is exactly what the Vatican's / NWO's ultimate goal is. The seat of "all mighty power and dominion by decree" located in Vatican City, with the HQ for the NWO in Jerusalem, Israel, and the force to be the militaries of all subjugate nations around the world. Perhaps some of the pieces are in the wrong place, it doesn't make a difference to me. We saw what Vatican dominion did during the "dark ages" and how they murdered anybody who didn't believe in Christ the way the Papacy said they had to believe it, so fuck the pope, fuck the Vatican, and fuck the Catholic Church into piss and shit. They will fail in their plans regardless, and I pray all true believers in Christ to awaken to the con that is Catholicism and leave. Oh, and one day the entire underbelly shall be revealed, the gold, the confiscated texts, the artifacts, etc.
Preach it Brother! Let’s all agree that Jesus is the same wherever you meet Him. Nobody has exclusive access, whatever they might claim.
The Apocalypse was written for a Christian contemporary audience around 90 AD. What it meant to them isn’t what it’s construed to mean to moderns. There’s nothing about Russia or China in it.
For Protestants who are interested in finding what it’s really about I’d suggest Dr Michael Heiser’s work widely available on YouTube. He was an ancient biblical languages expert, all of them. He’s got some great perspectives on the texts and what they meant to their contemporary audience, which is very unlike our modern point of view.
For the “traditionalists” try the series of homilies by Archimandrite Athanasius Mitilinaios. He goes through it word by word verse by verse and explains the layers of meaning.
Unless you’re a Freemason in which case you’ll be insulted, so best to just avoid it. J/K but he’s mercilessly critical of them.
Enemies of God and man, he asserts.
I guess he ought to know.

Coincidentally I was just going through some content by Heiser https://www.ancientaliensdebunked.com/ https://drmsh.com/exposing-the-work-of-zecharia-sitchin-part-1-elohim-in-the-hebrew-bible/ by way of critiquing the Alien/Elohim/Annunaki interpretation of the Old Testament espoused by Zecharia Sitchin, Mauro Biglino, and Clif High.
He wrote some interesting novels too.
Underground bases, UFOs, black hats/white hats, rescuing trafficked children, that sort of thing.
Cliff High is entertaining, but not a 'know all'.
