Has The AntiChrist Been Revealed?

Greetings Dr. Hartnett and all readers,
I agree that Schwab and Harare are antichrists (plural), but they most certainly are not The Antichrist. Dr J. A. Wylie demonstrates the impossiblity of such as Schwab and Harare being The Antichrist in his classic work, “The Papacy is The Antichrist: a Demonstration”

“Iain Murray in his book The Puritan Hope described the Reformers as “unanimous in their belief that the Papal system is both the “man of sin” and the Babylonian whore of which Scripture forewarns. Rome was the great Antichrist, and so firmly did this belief become established that it was not until the nineteenth century that evangelicals seriously questioned it.
Victorian Bible scholar Dr Grattan Guinness ringingly declared, “Thousands of martyrdoms have sealed the testimony against the Papal Antichrist, and on this testimony rests the Reformation. To reject it is to reject the foundation of the noblest and divinest work which has been wrought in this world since the day of Pentecost.”
The Protestant or Historical interpretation of prophecy views the prophecies of Daniel, Paul, and John as fully and faithfully laying out the entire course of Christian history, and sees the Book of Revelation as a prefiguration in detail of the chief events affecting the church and Christendom.
“A great cloud of witnesses” has given testimony to the correctness of this view. Wycliffe, Huss, Savonarola, Luther, Calvin, Melancthon, Zwingli, Tyndale, John Rogers, Latimer, Ridley, Hooper, Cranmer, John Foxe, Bunyan, the translators of the King James Bible, the men who published the Westminster and Baptist Confessions of Faith, Sir Isaac Newton, Wesley, Whitefield, Jonathan Edwards, Matthew Henry, and (more recently) Spurgeon, Bishop J.C. Ryle, Hudson-Taylor. and Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones—these men, among countless others, steeped and soaked in Scripture, recognised the office of the Papacy, the Vicar of Christ, as “the man of sin”, the new face of the old paganism that is “MYSTERY BABYLON” in the Bible. They saw it all in the Scriptures; it was quickened to them. They saw the counterfeit bride, the Harlot that would be judged at the end of history. All of them were immensely burdened for the souls of those in bondage to such an evil corrupt system and imprisoned in what Luther called “the Babylonian Captivity of the Church.” They knew that it was their duty to view the Church of Rome as God views her and stand clearly against all her heresies. If they were right about this then, they are still right today. God’s Word does not change, and Rome has since added to her many heresies.”
