Re: To Catholic Scientist
I reiterate that when these events begin to occur (and many are of a supernatural scope and nature) then all of the gray areas will go bye-bye in doubting minds.

Re: Europe: land of the antichrist
Where are your cognitive abilities? How do you think that I in any was listed 'falle' as a qualification for being a caesar? There were, of course, more than 5 previous (to John's writing) that can be considered as caesars. But John was only concerned with the five who had died unnatural deaths.

Re: Reformers on Popes as Antichrist
The antichrist will be used by God to utterly destroy catholicism (and all religion) wherever he is in power. He will 'burn her with fire, and kill her children with death'. So please quit wasting time considering the red herring of 'pope is the antichrist.

Re: Europe: land of the antichrist
Clarification: Yes, there is one small single-page website which says that Halley's comet was not the star that the wise men followed. But that is not stating the whole truth. There are at least 4 other, much longer and concise in analysis that either say Halley's comet was or could have been the star of the magi. It is unjustifiable to state carte-blanche that Halley's comet was not the star of the magi! Why? Because historians are unsure precisely of the correct dating of the time of our Lord- as I also illustrated about the 4-year shift.
So, let us not pick and choose the opinions that agree with us, but stick only to what we know as fact before making either-or statements.

Re: Europe: land of the antichrist
Sorry for my misspelling. 1. The caesars are referred to by John in Revelation in 3 basic groups. 2. John was NOT listing all of the caesars. 3. Group 'a' was a group of caesars who had been in power before the time of John's writing. Of that group (I don't know how many and it doesn't matter), John was only interested in the 5 who had specifically died unnatural deaths. 4. Group 'b' was the caesar who was in power at the time of John's writing- Domitian. 5. Group 'c' was a reference to a future caesar who would be a 7th, and then also be an 8th- yet even as an 8th, he would be of the previous 7 caesars. Period. I can't make any clearer. If you want to keep throwing in irrelevant nonsense about who was a caesar and who wasn't, then waste your hot air uon your mirror, please.

Re: Europe: land of the antichrist
Last time :
'a' is past with respect to the time of the writing of John's Revelation.
'b' is at the time of the writing.
'c' refers to something future to the time of the writing.
If this isn't clear, I can't help you.
Regarding how many prior were 'fallen', John lists 5. He was 2,000 years closer to the facts, those facts were of greater relevance to him than to us, and I trust John's account more than your opinion.

Re: Reformers on Popes as Antichrist
If you do not believe that this verse applies to the Roman Catholic Church, read Foxe's Book of Martyrs. The Roman Catholic Church killed more Christians during the Protestant Reformation than the Roman Empire did during the early days of the church.
Satan expressed his authority through the old Roman Empire, which severely persecuted the early Christians. When the Antichrist comes to power, Satan will give him his full power and authority to express him in persecuting God's people and worshiping Satan through the worship of the Antichrist. In all these years since the end of the Roman Empire, what has served Satan as his expression and provided him with worshipers? None other than the Roman Catholic Church!
