Hi,
Maybe I'm biased, but I think if you (or anyone else) reads the chapter in my book (yes that book I quoted from is mine
) that those quotes were taken from, they'll be hard pressed not to come away believing that the Papacy was/is the Antichrist.
Sorry to inform you but the Papacy can't be the Antichrist.
The Antichrist is one person - who will become the illicit King of Israel, Son of David, to occupy that position. Israel as a unified nation did not exist from the time of Solomon, the last King of Israel, until 1948. Which fulfilled Isaiah 66:7-8.
Which in times past there was no nation of Israel for anyone to be king of. That point eliminates not just the Papacy but all of the individual false messiahs, and false christs who have came along - but never occupied the position of being the illict King of Israel, Son of David over the nation.
The disciples early in Jesus's ministry were hoping that he was the messiah, the promised great King of Israel, Son of David, who would overthrow the Roman occupiers and return the united kingdom back to Israel. He did not do that because the Jews, lead by their religious leaders, crucified him.
Right before Jesus ascended to heaven, in Acts 1, the disciples ask him if he was going to right then to restore the kingdom to Israel. Jesus told them it was not for them the know the times or seasons.
The good news is that we are living in the times and season when Jesus is going to restore the kingdom to Israel, the united nation is there right now (but without a king on David's throne), when he is going to return to earth at His Second Coming and sit on the throne of David, and as King of Israel, fulfilling that prophecy made in the old testament.
The Antichrist right before Jesus returns will temporarily be embraced by the Jews, thinking that he is their promised King of Israel, son of David.
Until he reveals himself as the man of sin, claiming to be God in the flesh, which the Jews, mortified will impeach him as their king, and turn to Jesus.
So the Papacy, nor a single individual pope, nor the mahdi fit the prophecies concerning the Antichrist.
btw, although you are wrong from a bible prophecy standpoint, that does not mean that you don't have good or great writing skills. So I don't want to discourage anyone's writing career. Book 2 can be why the Papacy is not the Antichrist.
