James Begg on the spirit of antichrist and innovations in worship

[Reformed Covenanter]

It was the predicted peculiarity of the Man of Sin and Son of Perdition that he was to sit in the temple of God and show himself to be God. He was to oppose and exalt himself above all that is called God, and worshipped. The very essence of false worship, even under a profession of Protestantism, consists in setting aside the divine arrangements in the house of God and substituting our own. This is Popery in the germ; no matter under what name.
