This End Times Deceptions Bible study reviews the Living Under the Last Pope:
12 Facts You Must Know video from World’s Last Chance.
Here is the video to watch and then comments are provided below.
Pope Francis is going to play a major role in these end times, but several of the explanations of prophecy fulfillment by World’s Last Chance in this video are invalid.
Links are provided to studies which give detailed explanation.
They teach that the 7 kings of Revelation has been fulfilled by the seven Popes since the Lateran Treaty of 1929 A.D., and that Pope Francis is the 8th king.
That is wrong, as everything is from John’s point of view in the late 1st century. Five forms of the Roman Empire government had passed, one was at the time John wrote Revelation, and a 7th was to come and rule for a short time
The 8th king is the office of the Papacy, the Popes of Rome, which rose to power shortly after the last Roman Emperor was removed in 476 A.D. Read the 7 Kings Of Revelation 17 Bible Study
They say that between now and when Messiah returns, the sounding of the Trumpets and the last 7 bowls will be fulfilled.
That is wrong, as the seven trumpets of Revelation have already sounded, when God caused army after army to attack the pagan Roman Empire. Five bowls have been fulfilled and we are in the 6th bowl right now. Read the Revelation Seals, Trumpets & Bowls Bible Study
They say that based on the narrative of the Two Witnesses of Revelation 11, there will 1,260 days of persecution, during which Messiah’s witnesses will proclaim his last call.
That is wrong, as the Two Witnesses testified during the 1,260 year reign of the Roman Catholic Church, from 538-1798 A.D.
The Two Witnesses are the Word of God and the Church of Christ, which testified about true salvation by faith in the atoning work of our Messiah; and that the Popes of Rome are the Little Horn of Daniel, the Son of Perdition of 2 Thessalonians 2, and the antichrist sea beast of Revelation 13.

They say that a decree from the Pope against true Sabbath keepers will be enforced throughout the world, and that they will blame true Sabbath followers for world’s problems
Here’s the problem with that argument. Most people don’t understand the true lunisolar Sabbath calendar, and those who do usually do not attend a formal church because of wrong teachings. So there really is no way to enforce true Sabbath observance, as it is not always on Saturday or Sunday. Read The Sabbath Was Changed To SUNday
Lastly, they point to the Popes of Rome, but ignore that the Jesuit General, the Black Popes, controls the Vatican.
World’s Last Chance has some good teachings, but they fail to understand the historical fulfillment of much of Revelation.
Hello David,
you have some interesting theories and I have been pondering it for the better part of a week now.
I can’t agree with your conclusion that all 7 trumpets have sounded already, since the 7th trumpet clearly marks the time of judgement in Revelation 11.
“The time has come for judging the dead, and for rewarding your servants the prophets”
Even Paul references this in 1 Corinthians 15:51
“We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.”
Can you please address this? You also frequently state that earthquakes simply mean political upheaval, what evidence do you have to support this?
Also, your link on the 2 witnesses is 404. I was hoping to read that article.
Thank you for your comment Dan 🙂 The 7 bowls are part of the 7th trumpet, and we know that 5 bowls have been fulfilled, so that means that the 7th trumpet has sounded.
There are different types of trumpets in the Bible, ones for war, ones for feasts, etc. The trumpet judgments represents wars.
Messiah will return on the Feast of Trumpets, which is the trumpet that is referred to in 1 Corinthians 15:51
For evidence of earthquakes representing political upheaval, we simply have to look at history to see how it lines up. We know the fulfillment of the 1st-5th seals, so we know the context. We then can safely line up the earthquake of the 6th seal represents the Fall of the Roman Empire. The great earthquake in Revelation 16 represents the New World Order, which would be the greatest political upheaval in the history of the world, when countries and great cities lose their independent power.
I’m not sure why the 2 Witnesses link shows up as 404, it worked out when I clicked on the link.
I created a PDF of the study, here is the link http://christianitybeliefs.org/end-times-deceptions/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/christianitybeliefs.org-The-Two-Witnesses-Of-Revelation-11-Deception.pdf
