I’ve titled this talk “Antichrist’s Irredentist Immigration Assault on America: A Review of Strangers No Longer.” Before going on, it would be helpful to define a few terms.
Antichrist
My definition of Antichrist is the same as that of the Westminster Confession of Faith that historically has identified “the Pope of Rome” as “that Antichrist, man of sin and son of perdition, that exalteth himself in the Church against Christ, and all that it called God.”[1]
While this definition of Antichrist was the standard position of Reformed writers from the 16th century through the early 20th century, calling the Pope “Antichrist” today is considered, at best, bad manners and shocking in many circles.
The identification of the Pope of Rome as Antichrist is one of the more prominent conclusions of what is known as the “Protestant system” prophetic interpretation. This school of thought is also known as Historicism.[2] Historicists hold that Revelation records the history of the church from the time John wrote the book in the first century through the second coming of Jesus Christ.
