The Final Roman Emperor, the Islamic Antichrist, and the Vatican's Last Crusade

Tom Horn is an exhaustive writer on subjects relative to Biblical end times prophecy. This book follows in the genre line of other books Tom Horn has written like "Petras Romanas", "Zenith 2016", and "Apollyon Rising". Tom does a great job analyzing religious history and movements that have influenced society since the founding of America. "The Final Roman Emperor" provides a starting point for those interested in the deep-rooted ties between Washington, D.C. and the Vatican, not just in the "hidden in plain sight" symbols, but in the ultimate control of the world, through Jesuit-Freemasonry. It has a well-documented bibliography for those wanting to pursue the study of the darker side of the Jesuit-controlled Roman Catholic Institution. The only thing missing in its cryptic symbol-loaded cover is a bolt of lightning that hit St. Peter's, not once but twice, on the very evening of Pope Francis election as Satan's man! This book presents all the markings and clues to identify the identity of "MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH".

This was a pretty good book. I have to say that it was well researched. The authors had plenty of sources that they took information from. They put it together well also. An interesting and educational read

In what may be the fourth and final book in their blockbuster series on Bible prophecy, esoteric American history, religious idolatry, and conspiracy theory, Thomas Horn and Cris Putnam take the many tangled threads of these subjects and weave a fantastic saga which is sure to spark both epiphany and disbelief.Doubling down on their previous predictions, the authors paint a chilling picture of our future and the possibly ramifications of current events. Have the authors finally gone too far? Maybe not. To be sure I don’t agree with every conclusion the authors have reached but frankly the world has been turned upside down. What was once farfetched doesn’t seem so crazy. I mean come on, guys can now go enter a woman’s restroom or locker by simply saying they identify as a woman? Any semblance of morality and common sense has been totally overturned. And at the forefront of this immoral secular crusade is a nation that once prided itself in a Christian heritage. How the mighty have fallen!To their credit Horn and Putnam make it clear in this book that what we are witnessing is first and foremost a spiritual battle which is spilling into the physical world, a battle so aptly described by the apostle Paul in Eph. 6.For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (Ephesians 6:12) So while some of the authors’ theories may be well intentioned extrapolations that have reached a bit too far, the book on balance provides a wealth of credible information which you will be hard pressed to find anywhere else.What I found especially interesting:• Chapter 2: Theories of War: Just, Jihad, and Crusade• Chapter 4: The Last Crusade Agenda• Chapter 8: The Christian Roots of Anti-Zionism• Chapter 9: Islamic Eschatology• Chapter 11: Armageddon: The Battle for the Cosmic Mountain• Chapter 12: Why Many Christians, Muslims, and Jews Will Accept AntichristA few areas where I disagree or thought further explanation was warranted:• The Predictions• The Battle of Gog & Magog as it relates to Armageddon• Occult symbolism and the Great Seal* Predictions:Making predictions is a tricky business which often leads to credibility issues. Some pretty big predictions were made in this book. I hope the fallout doesn’t overshadow more important aspects of the book.* The Battle of Gog & Magog:The authors proposed a novel interpretation of the Gog & Magog invasion of Ezekiel 38 & 39. I think they are spot on regarding their view of Ezekiel 38 and Israel’s dwelling securely in the land during the Millennium. The phrase dwell safely or securely (yashab betach) is found in Ezekiel 28 & 34, Jeremiah 32:37-41, 12 and Zechariah 14:8-11, each of these reference have distinctly millennial overtones and are based upon the original promises found Leviticus 26:3-12.I disagree with the authors’ suggestion that Ezekiel 39 is a reference to the tribulation period leading up to the 2nd coming and that Ezekiel 39 takes place before Ezekiel 38. The main obstacle to this interpretation is Ezekiel 39:26 where it states, “they [Israel] dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid.’This phrase is found in one other place in the Biblical text and it is used by Ezekiel to describe the Millennium:And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd. And I YHWH will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I YHWH have spoken it. And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell [yashab] safely [betach] in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen, neither shall the beast of the land devour them; but they shall dwell [yashab] safely [betach] and none shall make them afraid [charad]. (Ezekiel 34:23-25)* Occult symbolism and the Great Seal:I believe trying to understand the symbolism of Luciferians, Mason, and other cultic organizations is useful to a degree. But the biggest problem to this field of investigation is the fact that those who use these symbols are themselves deceived by Satan. So it is important when possible to take the symbolism back to the Biblical record to find the original basis. This way we don’t see what Satan wants us to see but instead the truth he is trying to occult.The Great Seal, its capstone, the numerology of 13, and the all seeing eye are three good examples of symbols which have their origins in the pages of the Bible.The Capstone -- in the Bible is a picture of the Messiah. Yeshua is the stone which the builders rejected. A stone which the Bible describes as the top stone, headstone, or pinnacle stone. In today’s world of secular enlightenment Yeshua has become just one of many cornerstones in mankind’s evolutionary path.The All Seeing Eye – first comes to us from Genesis and Satan’s promise that if mankind but ate of the fruit their - eyes would be opened - and they would become gods. Since creation the same promise has been repackaged in many different ways but its most common form today is evolutionary enlightenment. In Greek we find the roots of this story expressed in the word optanomai which means to look at, behold. From this Greek root we get the words eye (ophthalmos) and serpent (ophis). Brings new meaning to the phrase “and your eyes shall be opened” doesn’t it?The Numbers 13 & 14 in the Biblical record.In this book the authors point out that two instances of where occultists use the number 13 & 14 to represent symbolic metaphor related to Osiris. What they fail to mention is the numbers 13 & 14 have a rich history in the Biblical record related to the Bible’s promised Messianic redemption. 13 & 14 figure prominently in the sacrificial atonement found in the Biblical festivals of Passover and Tabernacles. The apostle Matthew in chapter 1 of his gospel account of Yeshua goes so far as to represent Yeshua as both the 13th and 14th generation in his arrangement of the Messiah lineage.Further the authors failed to mention that the man responsible for the final design of the Great Seal was one of the most knowledgeable Biblical scholars of early America. Charles Thomson published the first English translation of the Septuagint as well as an English translation of the New Testament.I have no idea whether Thomson was an illuminist or a devout Christina but his design of the Great Seal must take into account his incredible Biblical knowledge. He of all people would have understood that the one symbol by which Yeshua chose to represent himself in the Biblical record was a capstone. Thomson would also likely have been aware that Matthew represented Yeshua as both the 13th and 14 generation. By showing the capstone (the 14th level) of an unfinished pyramid overshadowed by the luciferian eye of enlightenment Thomson may have had a deeper symbolic context in mind, the Biblical idea of a stone reject by Satan and the (masonic) builders. In any case, as far as the Great Seal is concerned, I believe the subject could have been better represented with more balance perspective.* * *You know after reading this book I couldn’t help but think about a strange bit of related Americana that’s not in most history books. Call it a coincidence or destiny, whatever but on May 13, 1664 the Colonial officials of Maryland issued a land patent for 400 acres to a devout Catholic named Francis Pope (no joke). A hill on this piece of land, Francis Pope named Rome, the creek running through the property he named the Tiber. A little over 100 years later a part of that land patent became our nation’s capital. That hill once named Rome became Capitol Hill and that creek like many creeks of that era became part of the sewage system of a new city. Truth truly is stranger than fiction!* * *In summary The Final Roman Emperor, the Islamic Antichrist, and the Vatican’s Last Crusade was a challenging and intriguing book. Though I do not agree with all of the authors’ conclusions I enjoyed seeing the subject through their eyes. There is some great information in this book as well as some fascinating conjecture. I would encourage any and all who read it to run the facts down for themselves.

If you are like myself, and find yourself baffled by the whole middle-east war scenario, this book will put it all that into perspective...it boils down quite concisely what the Quran & Hadith are telling their respective Islamic followers about the End-Times scenario...it elaborates on their individual motivations & goals (I greatly desire that our intelligence community would read this book)...then ties this in with the final Roman Emperor (the Pope)...all of which leads me personally to conclude, that WWIII has already started...and what see now are, the brush fires around the world that that will unite into the main conflagration...analogous to Europe & China on the eve of WWII...Horn & Putnam are outstanding authors in my opinion...their research is exhaustive, and they do the subject of End-Times Eschatology righteous...even if you are not a Christian, I wager that you will find this book quite "illuminating" in a world that is rapidly being "dimmed by madness"...maranatha...jo'c

Thought provoking book! Well written and engaging. Background work of the scripture is first class and tied to world history. It also reveals what I believe is the real truth in the development of Middle Eastern religion. The author's vision of the end times seems to reflect the current status of the world, the hope for Christians and the redemption of Israel by our Lord Jesus.

I know this is a Good Book, part of a series of 3 books- i didn't want to read All 3 Books-TOO MUCH INFORMATION FOR ME. It is Packed with Information and if this subject is something you LOVE and WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT IT- Well this Book is For You.I do not know if i picked the best of the 3 books on this subject? But it is very well documented and contained some Predictions That Came to Pass Concerning the Last Pope....and the history and intrigue surrounding the succession of Popes.I gave it a 3 Star because it just could have been shorter for me. I felt like giving up and not finishing this book many times...he really makes his case sometimes you just are not that interested in.

The author has an excellent understanding and knowledge of the subject. He leads through a vast array of information and yet makes it easily understandable. His treatise makes a lot of sense and clarifies many previously foggy subjects become crystal clear

The authors put together a lot of what is happening in the world in an understandable way. Real life can be quite disconcerting, but it is better to be aware!

Jetzt ist sehr harte zeit für uns aber wir muss immer glauben das unsere VATER(GOD) is immer bei uns und ihr beschutz uns von alle bösen.

Huge amount of important information contained in this book - the authors are to be congratulated in collating the hugely complicated situations existing in today's world and for making it highly readable, very informative and, with the addition of their own very erudite rationalizationsUnfortunately for us, in the short term, I do think that they have arrived at the correct conclusions. This is a book that anyone with the least curiosity about who are IS, ISIS, ISIL and what they may be planning, should most definitely read. In fact, I believe everyone needs to read it - it is germane to Mankind's eventual destination.Very HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

A very thoroughly researched book. Makes one to review their current expectations about the last days

Great
