▼10:8These next few verses are Assur speaking, not God. The Antichrist first destroys all of the false worship of the sinful secular nations, so that he alone can be the object of false worship; next he thinks to destroy the ‘false worship’ (what he considers to be false worship and idolatry) of Catholics (Jerusalem) and of Christians who have fallen away from the true Catholic Church, but still consider themselves to be Christian (Samaria). But it shall not be so; in verse 12 we are told that God will act against him (Assur).(Conte)
