It goes much further back than the Papacy. After King David, the tribes of Israel were ruled by many evil kings (some good kings also) that led to the separation of the tribes. Only the tribes of Judah, Benjamin and a scattering of Levites remained. I have no idea why they are not referred to Jews and Bens. I also have no idea why the Ashkenazi are referred to as Jews. They may practice a form of Judaism but are not from the chosen tribe of Judah. There is so much hidden from us and we just need to trust in God. For what it is worth, I believe our President was chosen by God (study Kim Clement and Mark Taylor's Trump Prophecy).
Indeed the spirit of the antichrist and Mystery Babylon goes all the way back to Nimrod's tower. We also see that the only person John could possibly have been referring to in Revelation was King Solomon, with his annual 666 talents of gold. I see no better modern day equivalent to him than the popes of Rome. They have multiplied gold to themselves. Idolatry is rife in the Catholic church.
