PART 1: Antichrists revealed by our Jesus Christ - Linus the first antichrist (2Timothy 4:21)

This entry is part 1 of 30 in the series Antichrists Revealed

The judgment of the Lord Jesus Christ upon the antichrist

05. 02–05

In this vision, the Lord…

06. 07–07

In this vision, the Lord Almighty took me to a place. There were two buildings. One was ridiculously huge and enormous, and inside this building was a figure like fire. On this building where the fire figure was, I saw the inscription: “Holiness unto the Lord.”

The second building had the writing: “The Vatican City.”

I was in the same building with the fire figure, but a bit far from it. The figure didn’t say a word, but I saw that the Vatican truly was on fire. Suddenly, a massive engine—the biggest I’ve ever known—came to remove the debris left from the burning Vatican, which was like a fire inferno.

Then, in the same vision, I saw the actual figure of our Lord Jesus Christ. He was dressed in immaculate white, and His face was recognizable, but His eyes were rolling with a speed I couldn’t imagine—full of fire. He was brilliant like the sun.

The Lord was on my right-hand side, but also a bit distant. In front of us stood a thick wall of rock. Behind that wall was the Vatican, along with multitudes of people dressed in black. The Lord pointed to the Vatican and said:

“I am going to destroy this building and all the evil people in it.
My daughter, because of their wickedness toward Me, the Lord, and how they have destroyed the truth in My spoken word and in My Church, their wickedness has come up before My face.”

Then I heard two voices from the Vatican speaking simultaneously:

“We will help to expose them as well because of their wickedness.”

Though the thick wall stood between us, everything in the Vatican was visible. The building was engulfed in flames, and people inside were shouting and pleading for help—but surprisingly, not a single one repented of their evil deeds. Despite being in agonizing fire, none expressed sorrow.

I was shocked—completely in disbelief—that no one among them showed any sign of repentance. I was afraid and terrified beyond anything I can describe. The heat didn’t affect me because of the thick wall separating us.

The smoke from the Vatican was of many colors and rose straight up into the sky and clouds.

Then the Lord spoke to me again:

“My daughter, I have shown you what will happen to all those who are against My truth and have made up their minds to do evil to My Church and will never repent of their evil deeds.
All those who will not follow My spoken word and have decided to be My adversaries will end up like what you have seen.
I am the everlasting Lord. I am the Lord.”

Then the Lord vanquished.
The debris disappeared. A heavy flood of water—like intense rain—came and washed everything away. The place became plain.

Interpretation of the Vision

Now I will share the Bible scriptures and the meanings of some words that describe the characteristics of these antichrists. The Holy Spirit made me understand certain terms, even though writers, historians, and the world have often misinterpreted them.

One such word is “MAN” in Revelation 13:18.

Revelation 13:18 – Meaning of “MAN”

Revelation 13:18
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a “man,” and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

The word “man” in this verse means mankind, not a single individual. This distinction is important and needs to be explained from different angles so that the saints of Christ and the world may grasp its true meaning.

Many have misunderstood this verse by attributing the identity of the Antichrist to a single person. However, the Lord Jesus Christ revealed to me that the word “man” here represents mankind, as confirmed by the meaning found in the dictionary.

2 Thessalonians 2:1–17 – The Falling Away & the Man of Sin

Below are scriptures from Paul’s epistle to the Thessalonians, offering further insight into the falling away and the identity of the antichrists:

2 Thessalonians 2:1–3
Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto Him,
That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition.

2 Thessalonians 2:4–12
Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming.
Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

2 Thessalonians 2:13–17
But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
Whereunto He called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,
Comfort your hearts, and establish you in every good word and work.

Summary

The “man” in Revelation 13:18 should be understood as mankind—not a single person.
The fire and destruction of the Vatican in the vision symbolize divine judgment against those who have corrupted the truth.
2 Thessalonians 2 clarifies the nature of this apostasy and the deception of the “man of sin.”
Those who reject the truth and refuse repentance will face the judgment you witnessed in the vision.

Scripture References to the Antichrist

1 John 2:18
“Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that Antichrist shall come, even now are there many Antichrists…”
1 John 4:3
“Every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of Antichrist…”

Daniel 7:25 and the Antichrist

The four things the Antichrist will do:

Speak great words against the Most High
Wear out the saints of the Most High
Think to change times and laws
The saints shall be given into his hands for “a time and times and the dividing of time” (interpreted as 1260 years)

Interpretation: The Identity of the Antichrist

Some have suggested historical figures like Antiochus IV Epiphanes, Hitler, Mohammed, and others as the Antichrist.
However, these figures never belonged to the Church, nor did they “fall away” from it—so they cannot fulfill the prophecy of 2 Thessalonians or Daniel 7:25.

Key Point:

“You cannot fall away from something you do not belong to.”

Linus and the Papacy: A Fulfillment of the Prophecy

According to 2 Timothy 4:21, Linus was a disciple of Paul.
He later became the Bishop of Rome and, through a process of falling away, the first Pope.
This progression marked the beginning of the Roman Catholic Church’s apostasy, lasting exactly 1260 years, fitting Daniel’s prophecy.
Linus’ transition from disciple to Pope symbolizes the true identity of the Antichrist, as revealed in this interpretation.

Conclusion

The Antichrists are politicians, nation, and military leaders, whose armies are called the Swiss military Guards
According to this understanding, the Antichrist is the line of Popes, starting with Linus, who fell away from Christ’s true Church.
The deception continues as many fail to recognize the Antichrist right in front of them, while the Church misleads with symbols like “666” or supposed future political figures.
This message, revealed by Jesus Christ, identifies the Roman Catholic Church as the prophesied apostate church and its Popes as the true Antichrists.
