The Final Roman Emperor, the Islamic Antichrist, and the Vatican's Last Crusade
Following the release of their first three international bestsellers Petrus Romanus, Exo-Vaticana, and On the Path of the Immortals Thomas Horn and Cris Putnam were swamped with interview requests from radio, television, and print media outlets around the world. When they accurately predicted the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI one full year in advance, even naming the very month and year he would step down, global shockwaves raised compelling questions regarding why the Vatican has an advanced telescope perched atop Mt. Graham in Arizona (USA) where the Jesuits admit they are monitoring something approaching Earth. Authors Horn and Putnam visited the mountain and spoke with the astronomers. After their second report was published in Exo-Vaticana, the pope s top astronomer took to the airwaves (and on the Vatican Observatory website) in an attempt to explain the role that he and other church astronomers are playing in regard to the LUCIFER device on Mt. Graham, as well as their developing doctrines concerning extraterrestrial life and the impact it may soon have on planet Earth s religions (Christianity in particular). Then, in the third book by Horn and Putnam, On the Path of the Immortals, the authors set out with cameras and field investigators to unearth their most astonishing discovery yet: Mt. Graham is a portal the Native Americans who fought the Vatican and NASA told them a gateway to another dimension. And, as the Vatican knows and the authors uncovered, it is not the only one. Even then, they had no idea what secrets the Vatican was shielding until now...

SOME INCREASINGLY UNLIKELY ‘PROPHECIES’
Authors Thomas Horn and Cris Putnam wrote in the Foreword to this 2016 book, “This book is about a prediction involving war and the complex web of philosophy by which men indulged themselves in order to make sense of battle… We take the reader on a survey of ethical theories of war, the secret motives behind wars, and, as our primary focus will hone in on the ultimate war, we forecast the ‘great day of God Almighty.’ … We think it likely that this Third World War will soon be an acknowledged fact rather than the attention-grabbing sound bite Pope Francis has been banding about for years now… We believe this so-called Third World War is coming in earnest and will lead the entire planet to oppose Jesus as He returns triumphant, defies the apostasy, destroys the Antichrist, and prevails over the strong delusion imprisoning the end-time minds of men… this [is the] fourth and final entry into our four-year investigation…”
Thomas Horn recounts a vision: “Many years ago I… died and woke up in heaven… I abruptly found myself standing somewhere before a spectacular pillar of light… I was urgently exclaiming something I couldn’t possibly understand: ‘Please, Lord, don’t let me forget… IT’S TOO WONDERFUL!’ … I was somehow aware that ‘memories’ from only moments before stood just beyond my ability to summon them back into my conscious mind again… But I HAD known something… of that I was sure… Had a revelation of some type been sealed within me? Something intended for a later time?... I was back now to the so-called real world… I heard something… My young wife, Nita, with her head in her hands… She tearfully how she had awakened to find me dead… I had remained in that condition for approximately fifteen minutes… while she … pounded on my chest, and attempting something like CPR.” (Pg. 5-8) He continues, “I struggled to make sense of what had obviously been an extraordinary incident in mine and Nita’s life… if, as a young believer, I had seen the ministries that God would later allow me and Nita to participate in---from pastoring large churches and owning a Christian publishing house and syndicated television ministry to speaking at major conferences as a best-selling author or any of the other opportunities…. I very likely would have made two huge mistakes: First, I would have immediately aimed at these later ministries … without the benefit of the struggles… that are necessary for ‘seasoning’… and second, I would have been tempted by pride to think of myself winding up in high-profile ministries…” (Pg. 9-11)
He predicts, “both ISIS and the Vatican will see themselves in the midst of unfolding prophecy… Sometime over the next forty-eight months, the Islamic State and/or their associates are going to use a weapon of mass destruction. It will be of such scope and impact as to raise the international outcry sufficient for Rome to play its first card… When this WMD… is used by ISIS, the Roman pontiff will call for the revitalization of the Christian rules for ‘Just War.’” (Pg. 26)
He says of Jesus’ Fig Tree Prophecy: “The amount of time in a single generation is greatly varied from source to source…. A generation in the bible is typically forty years…Scholars in 1948 then presumed, if this forty-year timetable applied to Israel blossoming as a nation again in 1948, this suggested the last generation would end by 1988… The ‘80s birthed a great number of date-setter ministers… And obviously, then were wrong… According to Psalm 90:10, ‘The days of our years are threescore and ten…’ meaning seventy or eighty years, which brings us to … two or twelve years from the time of this writing. Yet again, the account of Genesis 15:13-16 assigns one hundred years to a generation… This, of course, leads modern date-setters to assume the last days will arrive on or before 2048.” (Pg. 39-40)
He makes further predictions: “Women will be more involved than they were in any previous Great Awakening…” (Pg. 41) “Young people around the world will catch the vision and be drawn … to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” (Pg. 43) “Orthodox Jews and Muslims will convert to Christianity in record numbers…” (Pg. 50) “Undeniable angelic manifestations will be worldwide…” (Pg. 51)
They note, “we believe these ‘devotion to destruction’ commands really do come from the Creator of the Universe. Thus, we trust God had a really good reason for ordering what would otherwise seem to be genocide, a great evil… We believe God had good reasons for ordering the extermination of particular people groups… We are still astounded by the seemingly well-intended but embarrassingly misguided interpreters who do not correlate Crusade Wars and Just War theory against such cursed persons and who attempt to censor the giants out of the Bible…” (Pg. 88-89)
They assert, “we favor the third possibility for why the US allowed the formation of the new Islamic State: that Obama is a pawn in a larger globalist conspiracy… the [Islamic State] is likely a mere pawn used as the antithesis of a geopolitical dialectic…. The IS has a hook in its jaw to bait the United States by attacking European cities like Paris and perhaps Rome…” (Pg. 128)
They contend, “nothing about Pope Francis rules out the original False Prophet hypothesis we presented in ‘Petrus Romanus’ (2012), that is, before we know of his rigged ‘election’ and many details concerning his Marxism, globalism and heresy, which now seem to confirm it. With each new development, it becomes harder to deny that the current pope really is Petrus Romanus, the pope who still nourish the sheep during many tribulations…” (Pg. 184)
They state, “Islamic eschatology become terribly ironic once one faces the evidence that the ‘rightly guided one’ Muslims revere as the Mahdi is nothing but a plagiarized character from Syrian pseudepigrapha [sic]…” (Pg. 251)
They conclude, “what may be the most powerful stargates in the world are in Washington, DC and at the Vatican. They are ready now to open, that the spirit that is prophesied to inhabit THE FINAL ROMAN EMPEROR may come through them to establish his new and final Golden Pagan Age.” (Pg. 363)

Bible Prophecy & the Eye of Enlightenment –
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 everything 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 Antichrist
A 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 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.

Insight into the illuminati and freemasonry
I was surprised at our forefathers believed they would become "gods".....thinking that our country is not based on judeo-christian ideals is just plain scary. I found this perspective very interesting and I really recommended this book to open others eyes.

A very interesting and educational read
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

Amazing information!
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

A page turner that is easy to read. Highly informative insights that will make you appreciate Bible Prophecy and/or continue your personal due diligence so one will not duped into following profoundly immoral ones that are coming on the scene fast and furiously.

Very well researched. So basically, the antichrist will be a US president, and the false prophet is the Pope. Scary.

The Final Roman Emperor, the Islamic Antichrist, and the Vatican's Last Crusade is the fourth, and final, installment of authors Thomas Horn and Chris Putnam's research into Biblical Prophesy.
In order to more fully study Biblical Prophesy the authors delve into the details of cultural relevance by way of non-biblical prophesies. Islamic, Pagan, Freemason as well as Christian Prophesies are presented in detail to support their hypotheses and predictions.
I haven't been this unsettled by a book since I read On the Path of the Immortals, the third offering by Horn and Putnam. What I always come away with is gratitude that I have faith in God and Jesus Christ to sustain me. If the author's research is even remotely correct, then we see that there is no human institution to put our faith into.
Whether you are a spiritual person or not; whether you believe the information that Horn and Putnam present, an honest reader will admit that this book is well documented. The authors do not make 'off the cuff' claims. They support everything, providing copious amounts of supporting references. The Final Roman Emperor, the Islamic Antichrist, and the Vatican's Last Crusade at 363 pages is not particularly long as books go, but 751 references for the information they present are documented. That impresses me.
As I said; The Final Roman Emperor, the Islamic Antichrist, and the Vatican's Last Crusade is not particularly long, but it is very involved. It is not an easy read by any stretch. I consider myself fairly well educated, but this book was at times very difficult for me to follow. Of course this is in part due to the topic at hand. The Final Roman Emperor, the Islamic Antichrist, and the Vatican's Last Crusade focuses on end times prophesies (not a light topic to be sure), examining the prophecies of many differing sources. They present the striking similarities between Christian, Muslim and Judaic prophesy.
The authors present often damning evidence that the Catholic Church is involved in some very disturbing activities (understatement of the millennium!), and they back it up with many many references and quotes from various Pope's themselves.
Horn and Putnam document so many Pagan, Occultist and down right Satanic practices in the founding of America, as well as ongoing such practices, It makes one wonder how the Pledge of Allegiance can make the claim "One Nation under God".
The Final Roman Emperor, the Islamic Antichrist, and the Vatican's Last Crusade makes a seriously disturbing prediction for the near future in America. The manner in which they support and defend this prediction, in light of current world events, makes it truly alarming.
If you at all are concerned about the current state of affairs in America, and indeed the world, The Final Roman Emperor, the Islamic Antichrist, and the Vatican's Last Crusade is well worth the read. It will make you think, and quite probably make you more than a little uncomfortable.
I usually end my reviews with the word "Enjoy!", but that just doesn't seem appropriate here. I didn't "enjoy" this book but am very glad I read it.

I had better hopes for this book, but quickly became disappointed with it. The author starts patting himself on the back and bragging how he and Putnam predicted Pope's resignation. He goes on and on about their prediction and how everyone wants to interview them. He does have some info on past Christian history, but there's a lot of "I predict this, I predict that" in the book. Not very compelling.

These guys seem to know their stuff, but their writing is so disjointed, unorganized, and desperately in need of an editor. I really can't recommend reading this because it takes so much time and you get so little out of it. Honestly, skip to the end and read the paragraph. That's all you need to do to understand what they are trying to say.

A very good read
If you really want to know about what is going on in this World, this is the best available book to read.
This book is the 4th book in the series about what is happening in this country, as well as the World.

So if you are reading this review you might already be intrigued by this book. It describes issues, specific dynamic of religions especially the Islamic State. So informational.
