A City Of Refuge

Anti means substitute or surrogate

The word anti as used in the Greek New Testament means substitute or surrogate. In modern parlance it means IDENTITY THEFT.

Of course, someone who steals another person's identity and pretends to be that person is obviously an enemy of that person.

In Strong's Concordance, anti means substitute, in room of, or instead of:

473. anti, an-tee'; a prim. particle; opposite, i.e. instead or because of (rarely in addition to):--for, in the room of. Often used in composition to denote contrast, requital, *substitution*, correspondence, etc.But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room (Greek anti) of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee. (Matthew 2:22).

An example of how anti is used this way can be found in the words type and antitype, which are used with respect to Bible prophecy. The "type" is the pattern or symbol, and the antitype is the fulfillment. The Jewish Passover was a "type" and the crucifixion of Jesus is the "antitype" or fulfillment of the example of the type. You substitute the antitype into the symbolism of the type to arrive at the complete meaning:

Many times in the history of the Papacy there have been ANTIPOPES....These ANTIPOPES were not atheists who sought to abolish the Papacy, but men who were rivals of the then reigning Popes, and claimed that they were the legitimate Pontiffs.

ALL the Popes claim to be God Almighty on earth!!

In the Roman Canon Law, ALL of the Popes are DOGMATICALLY DECLARED to be God Almighty upon the earth....Obviously, when you are God Almighty, your word is LAW, and you are the final judge in all matter spiritual and temporal.

Pope Leo XIII (1810–1903). Pope from 1878 to 1903.

Pope Leo XIII was an expert in Latin Canon Law. He was Pope #102 in Malachy's List of 112 Popes. His coat of arms contained a comet.

In Malachy's Prophecies, Leo XIII was called Lumen in Coelo–A Light in the Heavens!!

Pope Leo XIII actually claimed to be God Almighty upon the earth.

But since We hold upon earth the place of God Almighty, who will have all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth, and now that Our advanced age and the bitterness of anxious cares urge Us on towards the end common to every mortal, We feel drawn to follow the example of Our Redeemer and Master, Jesus Christ, who, when about to return to heaven, implored of God, His Father, in earnest prayer, that His disciples and followers should be of one mind and of one heart. (The Great Encyclical Letters of Pope Leo XIII, p. 304).

In actuality, all the Popes have claimed to be Almighty God upon the earth.

"God Almighty" carried in a sedan chair from the Sistine Chapel.

All the Popes claim to be God Almighty upon the earth!! Pope Leo XIII said: "But since We hold upon earth the place of God Almighty."
