First, let’s remind ourselves what the Holy Spirit told Apostle Paul around 50 and 64 AD, as in his respective letters to the church in Thessalonica and to his disciple Timothy, as in New King James Version (courtesy BibleGateway.com, emphases mine):
2 Thess 2 > ‘Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of [a]Christ had come. 3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of [b]sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits [c]as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? 6 And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. 7 For the [d]mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only [e]He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, 12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.’
NB. Those closing verses should generate a righteous fear of the Lord in everybody!
1 Tim 4 > ‘Now the Spirit [a]expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, 2 speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron…’

Richard's Watch 
Richard do you recall this dream from June of 2020?
Revelation 13:1
The Beast from the Sea
Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name.
The sea and/or waters is indicative, at times, of masses of people. In my dream I saw a mass of people, however, they had their backs to me and appeared as silhouettes and I could not make out anybody. Then I saw an individual arise out of the mass, once again, a silhouette and his back was to me so I could not make him out nor provide a description. Then I saw what looked like a religious leader seated on a throne looking out over the masses. I believe it to be the Pope. Being that the masses were in front of him meant, at least to me, that he had control of them and ruled over them. It seemed that he recognized the one ascending from the masses because he arose from his throne to greet him. I could barely recognize the one that had been seated on the throne because I was standing in the back of the mass of people, however, I could make out the garb he was wearing hence my saying he was a/the pope.
That was the end of my dream. As with anything I post take this to the Lord in prayer
