In this critical episode of The Truth Project, Matthew Schanche and Andrew Bikichky examine an extraordinary display of Papal authority on US soil as a Roman Catholic Mass was held at the personal residence of an acting American President. 100 Roman Catholic priests, in fact, gathered at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago to perform a full Catholic Mass, including the Eucharist — a ritual the Bible identifies as part of the counterfeit worship system that would “cast down the truth to the ground” (Daniel 8:12) and replace Christ’s true priestly ministry in heaven with a manmade system on earth.

This was not a symbolic gesture. It was the open placement of the Papal worship system in the inner courts of American political power — a fulfillment of the prophecy that the false prophet (apostate Protestant America) would give power back to the first beast (Papal Rome) (Revelation 13:12).

Daniel 8 tells us that the “little horn” power, which historically identifies with Papal Rome, would take away "the daily" (Hebrew: tamid) and replace it with “the transgression of desolation” (Daniel 8:11-13). What is “the daily”? It is the continual, ongoing, heavenly ministry of Jesus Christ, our true High Priest (Hebrews 4:14-16; Hebrews 8:1-2). The “daily” represents the true gospel, where sinners go directly to Christ for confession and cleansing — not through an earthly mediator.

Rome has replaced this with a counterfeit:

A human priesthood who claims the power to forgive sins (Mark 2:7; 1 Timothy 2:5 says “there is one Mediator… the man Christ Jesus”)
A continual sacrifice in the Mass that denies the sufficiency of Christ’s once-for-all offering (Hebrews 10:10-12)
A Eucharist that teaches Christ is physically present in bread, in contradiction to Christ’s heavenly position (Acts 1:11; Hebrews 9:24)
This false system is at the heart of what the Bible calls “the mystery of iniquity” (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4), which exalts itself into the place of God and is setting the stage for global enforcement of false worship.

We are now witnessing:

The public elevation of the Papal system in America, once a bastion of Protestantism

The restoration of the image to the beast through ecumenical efforts, such as Project 2025 and America’s move toward evangelicalism

A growing unity between church and state, fulfilling Revelation 13:15-17, where worship will be enforced under penalty of death and economic exclusion

The Mass at Mar-a-Lago is a warning: The abomination is being set up (Daniel 11:31; Matthew 24:15) — a system that defiles the true sanctuary in heaven and points the world to a false one on earth.

The Bible makes clear that this issue will divide the world. God’s people are described as “they that keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ” (Revelation 12:17) and “keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus” (Revelation 14:12). In contrast, the world will be “made drunk with the wine of her fornication” (Revelation 17:2) — accepting Rome’s false doctrines and her counterfeit worship system.

There is no neutral ground. The line is being drawn. Will you follow the Lamb wherever He goes (Revelation 14:4), or follow the beast into deception?

Are you ready to follow the Lamb wherever He goes? Are you in your church for the church's sake or for God's?

In this episode of The Truth Project, Matthew Schanche and Andrew Bikichky expose the dangerous counterfeit of Christianity that is sweeping across the United States and much of the world. This false system has gained political endorsement, exemplified by the appointment of Paula White-Cain — a prosperity gospel preacher — as the head of the White House Faith and Opportunity Initiative. Her teachings include the pre-trib rapture, a seven-year tribulation, the rebuilding of a third temple in Jerusalem, speaking in unintelligible tongues, and the prosperity gospel — none of which are biblical. These doctrines originate from Jesuit futurism, a counter-reformation tactic designed to obscure the true identity of the Antichrist and undermine the sanctuary message. But while the mainstream Christian world is being swept up in false ideologies, the true message of God’s end-time people has been revealed through a prophetic chain of understanding that began with the unsealing of the little book in Daniel.

Can your church explain what Revelation means when it describes an experience that was “sweet in the mouth but bitter in the belly” (Revelation 10:9–10)? Do they understand what the seven thunders are, or why John was told not to write them down (Revelation 10:3–4)? Have they taught you what it means when Daniel is told to seal up the book until the time of the end (Daniel 12:4, 9)?

And what about the prophetic timelines in Daniel 12 — the 1290 and 1335 days (Daniel 12:11–12)? What is their significance? What event do they point to, and how do they connect with the broader messages of Daniel and Revelation?

If these questions haven’t been answered — or even asked — how can we truly understand the final message that prepares God’s people for the soon return of Christ?

The Bible contains the answers — but only those who are willing to search diligently will find them (cf. Proverbs 2:3–5; John 5:39).
Today’s prophetic landscape is distorted by emotionalism, nationalism, and soon to be false miracles — but God's truth remains. This episode is a call to:

Compare every teaching with the Bible.

Understand the importance of the end of the 2300 days and the heavenly sanctuary.

Prepare to give the final warning to a deceived world.

"Come out of her, my people" (Revelation 18:4) is not optional — it is urgent. The counterfeit is nearly complete. But God's Word still shines clearly. There is no time left to delay.

The American Pope has arrived — and with him, the prophetic puzzle pieces are falling rapidly into place.

In Revelation 13, we are told that a second beast — representing Protestant America — would rise with lamb-like appearance, but would eventually speak as a dragon, and exercise all the power of the first beast (Rome). That moment is no longer coming… it’s here.

In this episode of The Truth Project, Matthew Schanche and Andrew Bikichky unpack the massive prophetic implications of the Vatican’s deepening control over American religious and political institutions:

Archbishop Robert Prevost, dubbed the “American Pope,” is not just a figurehead — he is a former Augustinian who echoes Rome’s age-old agenda: to replace the authority of God’s written Word with a mystical experience-based faith — disconnected from Scripture, and vulnerable to deception.

This is the same theological current that flowed through Pope Leo XIII, who called for the civil enforcement of Sunday rest — a concept deeply tied to the mark of the beast in Revelation 13 and 14.

At the same time, Project 2025 — a sweeping blueprint to Christianize American government — is advancing in lockstep with the installation of a Pope-friendly religious culture in the U.S.

Meanwhile, figures like Elon Musk push AI and Universal Basic Income to manage the coming wave of mass unemployment. Musk himself warns AI will create a “crisis of meaning” — a spiritual vacuum ready to be filled by a false system of worship engineered to look holy, but powered by the dragon.

The pieces are converging:

1. A church-state merger
2. A crisis-driven religious revival
3. A system that replaces God’s commandments with man-made traditions, and real worship with false unity

“And he causeth the earth… to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.” — Revelation 13:12

“The whole world wondered after the beast.” — Revelation 13:3

This is further confirmation that the Adventist prophetic perspective is true — and now more urgent than ever.

Jesus is coming soon. The final test is approaching. Will you stand?
