Narrated by Rodrigo Vasquez.
As Pope Francis moves onto the world stage, many people are wondering how he will be generally accepted. The pleasant aura of John Paul II still lingers for many, while the shortcomings of Benedict XVI still color the current scene. More importantly, given the Pope's exalted position in the world, many will be asking how Pope Francis will change the Papacy.
The fact remains, however, that since the early 19th century the Office of the Papacy has been set on a course of action that no individual pope will reverse.
How can this be so? Constantine decreed Christianity the religion of the Roman Empire Setting the Stage for the Mystery of Iniquity In 330 A.D., Emperor Constantine moved the seat of the Imperial Roman Empire from Rome to Constantinople. By that time, he had decreed Christianity the religion of the Empire in hopes that by means of its acceptance a new unifying strength could be infused into his crumbling empire.

Just as the Ahab family in both 1 Kings and 2 Kings were forerunners of the antichrist, so the Borgia family were also forerunners of the antichrist. A very helpful sermon in response to this revival of idolatrous Baal worship called popery.

“ Borgias: Rebels Against The Lord ” It should be noted that the Borgia family were rebels against The Lord. Their father was a rebellious pope named Pope Alexander VI (Rodrigo de Borja). Then again, because the land of Italy is the center of popery, this means that the land of Italy is a land of rebellion. Of course, there are righteous Protestants in Italy. This sermon shows that historical figures associated with popery like the Borgia family were evil people seeking only rebellion. On Judgment Day, a cruel messenger shall be sent against the rebellious Borgia family as well as all the rebellious popes and all rebellious Roman Catholics. Worth noting Proverbs 17:11 in times like these.
