Part I: THE FINAL REVOLT AGAINST THE AUTHORITY OF THE HOLY ROMAN EMPEROR GIVES WAY TO THE MANIFESTATION OF THE ANTICHRIST

SIGNORELLI, Luca 

Sermon and Deeds of the Antichrist (detail) 

1499-1502

According to the majority of Fathers of the Church, the visible Authority of the Roman Emperor hinders the manifestation of the Antichrist. When the Imperial seat remains vacant then will the Antichrist be allowed manifest himself. This Church doctrine on the manifestation of the Antichrist and what hinders the same is found in the Second Epistle of Saint Paul to the Thessalonians:

First: The final revolt against the authority of the Roman Emperor:

Let no man deceive you by any means, for unless there come a revolt first, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition. 2 Thessalonians 2:3

Second: The removal of the authority of the Roman Emperor, who is the one who withholdeth the manifestation of the antichrist:

And now you know what withholdeth, that he may be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity already worketh; only that he who now holdeth, do hold, until he be taken out of the way. And then that wicked one shall be revealed 2 Thessalonians 2:6-8

Third: The usurpation of the Authority of the Roman Emperor by the antichrist:

Who opposeth, and is lifted up above all that is called God, or that is worshipped, so that he sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself as if he were God. 2 Thessalonians 2:4

The purpose of this site is to bring attention to this very fact that Saint Paul speaks only of the authority of the Holy Roman Emperor in his Second Epistle to the Thessalonians. 

And that the Roman Catholic Church has always held to this interpretation of St Paul, that the authority of the Roman Emperor is he who now holdeth, do hold, until he be taken out of the way, then will the Antichrist be made manifest. 

This site is the first of its kind to proclaim the desire to restore the authority of the Holy Roman Emperor to impede the manifestation of the Antichrist. This site is the vanguard of those who desire to restore the authority of the Holy Roman Emperor.
