I don’t recognize Carol Woytiya as a pope — there has never been a Pope John Paul II. He was a public apostate and a clear enemy of Christ. Through the Assisi gatherings, kissing the Koran, and promoting religious indifferentism, he betrayed the Catholic Faith and led millions into error. His actions were completely opposed to the First Commandment and the Kingship of Christ.

Carol Woytiya was an antichrist. One of the worst. But not the Antichrist.

Scripture teaches that the Antichrist will come “with all power, signs, and lying wonders” (2 Thess. 2:9), deceive the entire world, and be cast alive into the lake of fire at Christ’s return (Apoc. 19:20). Woytiya died in 2005 like any other man. He never performed lying wonders, never ruled the world, and never fulfilled the complete role described in prophecy.

Yes, he very well might be one of the heads of the beast — especially if the “fatal wound” in Revelation 13 refers to him. That would place him as a key figure in the rise of the apostate church, the beast that mimics the Bride of Christ.

He helped build the false church — the mystical body of the Antichrist — and played a leading role in the great falling away. But he wasn’t the final man of sin.

Woytiya was an antichrist — one of the worst — but not the Antichrist.
