The Protestant Reformers exposed the Antichrist of prophecy exactly as it is found in Scripture, which made necessary the false interpretations of Jesuit Futurism and Jesuit Preterism, and the further corruptions by Maitland, Irving, Darby, Scofield, and their posterity who were never taught accurate church history and the blasphemous reign of the most wicked institution to ever grace the top-side of the earth. I fear that those who subscribe to Jesuit Futurism will embrace the false Christ who will precede the true and be lost forever.The reformers and later reconstrucionist spin offs were not only wrong about the study of the the Lord's prophetic word and did not understand them in the first place, they proceeded to concoct their own proprietary ambitions claims to have the truth against the same claims of one another
And they made their error by inserting the idea of a Euro centered Pope/Antichrist/ revived Roman empire
None of this is in the prophetic scriptures and only speculated and inserted by them
They lacked sound prophetical study and did not have the hindsight we have today, and instead they build their own proprietary religions upon the offset against the RCC .... and all were anti-Semitic [anti-Israel] to the max
At the same time the reconstructionists made up cult like dogmas to separate themselves from the others [JWs, SDAs, Calvinists, Mormons, William Branham followers, H. B. Armstrong followers, etc. are prime examples]
As for your remark on "cults", a Christian cult teaches contrary to Scripture. Scripture teaches that the Ten Commandments are written on the heart of New Covenant Christians, but the rest of Christendom teaches that we may safely disregard, to one degree or another, the Ten Commandments, which is contrary to Scripture.
