In this powerful Revelation 17 Bible study, we expose why Pope Leo XIV — the first American pontiff, elected May 2025 — fits the profile of the final false religious leader before the Rapture and Tribulation. The “woman” riding the scarlet beast (Rev 17:1-6) is the apostate one-world religious system: the harlot church headquartered in Rome (the city on seven hills, v.9), drunk with the blood of saints, arrayed in purple and scarlet. Dispensational truth reveals this as Mystery Babylon — the false church that rides global political power during the first half of the Tribulation, only to be destroyed by the Antichrist (Rev 17:16). Leo XIV’s emphasis on interfaith “unity,” peace initiatives, social justice, and bridging divides aligns with the coming ecumenical false religion that will merge Christianity with other faiths under the Antichrist’s control. As birth pangs intensify (Matt 24:8), this papacy may well be the last before the true Church is removed in the pre-Trib Rapture (1 Thess 4:16-17). The Vatican system will then fully morph into the harlot that deceives the nations.
