The Antichrist Has Been Revealed!!

666 equals LATEINOS in Greek!!

"And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. This calls for wisdom. Let those who have insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666."  (Revelation 13:16-18).

The New Testament was written in Koine or COMMON Greek—the universal language of the world during the earthly ministry of Christ.

Greek died out in Western Europe around 500 A.D. (except in Hibernia), where Saint Patrick introduced the New Testament and the Greek language to that nation.

Jesus so highly favored the Greek language that He calls himself Alpha and Omega 4 times:

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord (JESUS), which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. (Revelation 1:18).

The Greeks, like the Romans, did not have Arabic numerals (e.g. 1,2,3,4), so each letter of the Greek alphabet represented a number. Alpha was 1, beta was 2, etc., etc. It is totally useless to try and calculate the number of the Beast in any other language but Greek:

King Latinus was the founder of the Latin race

Lateinos is the oldest and most common interpretation of the number of the Beast. Lateinos signifies Latin MAN or Latin kingdom, and is also the name of the king who founded the Latin state, namely King Latinus.

The oldest writings that survived the last great pagan persecution is that of Saint Irenaeus who lived from about 120 to 200 A.D.... Saint Irenaeus is most famous for his prediction that the world would last for 6000 years....Saint Irenaeus was a disciple of Polycarp, who was a disciple of the Apostle John, who wrote the Book of Revelation:

For if there are many names found possessing this number, it will be asked which among them shall the coming man bear. It is not through a want of names containing the number of that name that I say this, but on account of the fear of God, and zeal for the truth: for the name Evanthas contains the required number, but I make no allegation regarding it. Then also Lateinos has the number six hundred and sixty-six; and it is a very probable [solution], this being the name of the last kingdom [of the four seen by Daniel]. For the LATINS are they who at present bear rule: I will not, however, make any boast over this [coincidence].Teitan too, the first syllable being written with the two Greek vowels e and i, among all the names which are found among us, is rather worthy of credit. For it has in itself the predicted number, and is composed of six letters, each syllable containing three letters; and [the word itself] is ancient, and removed from ordinary use; for among our kings we find none bearing this name Titan, nor have any of the idols which are worshipped in public among the Greeks and barbarians this appellation. Among many persons, too, this name is accounted divine, so that even the sun is termed Titan by those who do now possess [the rule]. (Saint Irenaeus, Against Heresies, Book V, ch. 29).

Saint Irenaeus mentioned 3 names: Evanthas, Lateinos, and Teitan or Titan. The meaning of Evanthas is obscure, but Lateinos is the code word for the Romans:

Virgil was a Roman poet and very familiar with the history of the Latin race. He traces the founding of Rome to King Latinus.

According to Virgil, King Latinus was an historical character and founder of the Latin race. The Bible says that the number of the Beast is the number of a MAN.

Antichrist to be revealed first before the Second Coming of Christ!!

In one of the greatest and PLAINEST of the great prophecies of the Bible, St. Paul predicted that 2 things must happen FIRST before the 2nd Coming of Christ and the end of the world:

Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth (restrains) that he might be revealed in his time.
For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let (restrain), until he be taken out of the way.
And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming. (II Thessalonians 2:1-12).

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. (I Timothy 4:1-3).

And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. (Revelation 17: 6-7).

As for the bishop of Constantinople, let him have the prerogatives of honor after the bishop of Rome, seeing that this city is the new Rome. (Council of Constantinople).

It was now that Theodosius made the acquaintance of bishop Ambrose of Milan; and thus began a complex, turbulent, but also deeply personal relationship between the two men, that was to have profoundly important consequences. During the brief war, Ambrose had been in no danger, for the ultra-pious Catholic Maximus would hardly have harmed the bishop of his capital, but the fact that he did not flee enhanced his prestige. Indeed, he himself considered his moral authority to be second to none. He saw himself as answerable only to God, and thus his duty was to dictate to the conscience—hence the religious policy—of the emperor, by whatever means served this high end. (Theodosius, The Empire at Bay, p. 64).

Not surprisingly the immediate reaction of Theodosius was of volcanic anger; but this time, unlike Antioch, in his choler he threw aside any inquiry or trial, and immediately sent secret orders to the new Gothic garrison at Salonica for a terrible, salutary bloodletting of the rebellious rabble. Accordingly, on a certain day when the people once again thronged excitedly into the hippodrome for the races, at a signal the gates were barred. Without pity, deaf to the screams and entreaties of the people (or even enflamed by them) the troops proceeded for several hours to butcher the spectators indiscriminately. According to Theoderet 7,000 people of both sexes and all ages were slaughtered. Whatever the numbers, no Roman city had experienced anything like this in living memory: it was something only brutal conquerors did to captured enemy cities, and it put the emperor's Gothic troops in exactly that light. The moral shock throughout the empire was, if anything, accentuated by the general reputation Theodosius had for mercy and humanity.(Theodosius, The Empire at Bay, p. 68).

Ambrose had a shrewd psychological knowledge of Theodosius, and his performance was subtle and masterly, unlike his earlier bludgeon tactics from the pulpit. Theodosius was tormented not just by moral guilt, but by a very real fear of eternal damnation. Thus it was that an astonished people beheld an extraordinary spectacle as the Ever-Victorious, Sacred Eternal Augustus, Lord of the World put aside his gorgeous imperial regalia, and for several months wept and groaned as a humble, prostrate penitent in the cathedral of Milan. It was all the more extraordinary in its stark, public contrast between the despotic and universal power of the emperor, and the grovelling abasement of that same power before the priests. (Theodosius, The Empire at Bay, p. 69).

And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. (Revelation 13:7).

And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore (1260) days, clothed in sackcloth. (Revelation 11:3).

And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcasses be wasted in the wilderness. After the number of the days in which you searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years. (Numbers 14:33-34).

The famous prophecy of the 70 Weeks (490 years) from Cyrus to Christ are determined by this same day equals a year principle:

Seventy weeks (490 years) are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. (Daniel 9:24).

We desire that all peoples subject to Our benign Empire shall live under the same religion that the Divine Peter, the Apostle, gave to the Romans, and which the said religion declares was introduced by himself, and which it is well known that the Pontiff Damascus, and Peter, Bishop of Alexandria, a man of apostolic sanctity, embraced; that is to say, in accordance with the rules of apostolic discipline and the evangelical doctrine, we should believe that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit constitute a single Deity, endowed with equal majesty, and united in the Holy Trinity.

(1) We order all those who follow this law to assume the name of Catholic Christians, and considering others as demented and insane, We order that they shall bear the infamy of heresy; and when the Divine vengeance which they merit has been appeased, they shall afterwards be punished in accordance with Our resentment, which we have acquired from the judgment of Heaven. (Justinian Code, Book I).

The 1st period ended at the era of the French Revolution

The era of the French Revolution began in 1789 and lasted until 1799. In 1797, French general Berthier marched on Rome and forced Pope Pius VI to renounce his claim to temporal power and abdicate.

On August 29, 1799, Pope Pius VI died as a prisoner of the French in the city of Valence.

The 2nd period began at the time of Emperor Phocas in 606

The next starting time for the 1260 years was 606 when Emperor Phocas declared the Pope, Universal Bishop.

Emperor Phocas . Reigned from 602 to 610.

The next big date for the beginning of the 1260 years fell during the reign of Emperor Phocas. In 606, the Emperor issued a decree that "the See of Blessed Peter the Apostle should be the head of all the Churches", and that the title of "Universal Bishop" belonged exclusively to Pope Boniface and his successors.

Pope Boniface III. Pope from 606 to 607.

Here is a quote about Emperor Phocas from the "Catholic" Encyclopedia:

After his elevation to the See of Rome, Boniface obtained a decree from Phocas, against Cyriacus, Bishop of Constantinople, by which it was ordained, that "the See of Blessed Peter the Apostle should be the head of all the Churches", and that the title of "Universal Bishop" belonged exclusively to the Bishop of Rome — an acknowledgment somewhat similar to that made by Justinian eighty years before (Novell., 131, c. ii, tit. xiv). At Rome Boniface held a council, attended by seventy-two bishops and all the Roman clergy, wherein he enacted a decree forbidding anyone under pain of excommunication, during the lifetime of a pope or of a bishop, to treat of or to discuss the appointment of his successor, and setting forth that no steps were to be taken to provide for a successor until three days after the burial of the deceased. ("Catholic" Encyclopedia article, Pope Boniface III).

Because Constantinople was now New Rome, the patriarch of Constantinople saw himself as having as much right to be styled Universal Bishop as the Bishop of Rome....This immediately sowed the seeds of conflict between East and West.

The 2nd period ended in 1866

Austria and the Papal States were the main obstacles to Italian unity....In 1866, Austria was defeated by Prussia during the Austro-Prussian War, and this led to the liberation of Rome only 4 years later.

Just like the Franco-Prussian War, nobody expected the Prussians to achieve such an astonishing victory:

War followed swiftly, with Bismarck repudiating the authority of the German Confederation on 14 June and Prussian troops crossing the borders of the smaller German states two days later. Though Napoleon III envisaged a long war which France would finally settle by armed mediation, military experts in Paris and London as well as Vienna expected an Austrian victory before the autumn. (Palmer, Twilight of the Habsburgs, p. 143).

Most of the commentators on the Book of Revelation expected the end of the Papacy in 1866; to be off by just 4 years is miraculous indeed.

Most of the great scholars who studied Bible prophecy predicted the fall of the temporal power in 1866. One of the most prolific writers on Bible prophecy was Edward B. Elliott (1793-1875) who wrote a 4 volume commentary on the Book of Revelation entitled Horae Apocalypticae (Hours with the Apocalypse). His book was first published in 1844 and went through 5 editions. It was the standard work on Bible prophecy for much of the 19th century. Elliott predicted the end of the Papacy in 1866:

In the arrangement of the great calendar of prophecy, and the adjustment of our own position on it, whether nearer to the final end or less near, it is evident that the chronological predictions (I mean those which involve chronological periods) must needs demand our most particular attention. First and foremost in importance is the memorable prophecy of the 1260 years of the Beast or Antichrist, six times repeated in the Apocalyptic vision, under one or other variety of formula, and three in Daniel. This measures the Beast's reign , in recognized supremacy over the Roman Empire, during its last divided and apostatized state; or rather the reign of the Beast's last Head, Antichrist. And we have seen that, with the reflected light of that grand illustrative event of our latter day, the French Revolution, the primarily and imperfect commencement, and primary and imperfect end, of the period may be deemed to have been fixed, on strong probable evidence, to about the years A.D. 533 and 1793 respectively, at just 1260 years' interval: the one the epoch of Justinian's decree and code, which was a virtual imperial recognition of the Pope's supremacy, in his then assumed character of Christ's Vicar, or Antichrist; the other that of the French revolutionary outbreak, and new legal code, which gave to the Pope's antichristian supremacy and power a deadly blow throughout Western Christendom. At the same time that the full and complete commencement appeared on strong and peculiar historic evidence (specially that of the then risen ten diademed Romano-Gothic Papal horns) to have about synchronized with the epoch of Phocas' decree A.D. 606; and the corresponding epoch of end with the year 1866. We also saw more lately that in the last of his prophecies Daniel appended to what seemed to be the same period of the 1260 years yet a further addition of 30 and 45, or conjointly of 75 years, as if still to intervene before the times of blessedness. And hence the very important question whether these additional years are to be measured from the epoch of primary imperfect ending about A.D. 1793; or from that of full and perfect ending in 1866. (Horae Apocalypticae, volume 4, p. 237).

Even the Pope was alarmed at the beginning of 1866, because the Horae Apocalypticae was a bestseller throughout Europe:

I had the honour of an audience with the Pope this morning and of offering His Holiness my best wishes for the New Year. The Sovereign Pontiff, who received me with the utmost kindness and benevolence said he needed good wishes if it were true, as people said, that the year 1866 was to be fraught with danger for the Papacy, but he placed his trust in God and did not fear the evil forebodings of men. Meanwhile the Romans were very gay and there were more balls, concerts and operas than ever, which was not the case in the other capitals of Europe where everyone felt the insecurity of all things produced by the revolutionary tendency of the age. (The Roman Question, p. 320).

The only major geopolitical event of 1866 was the defeat of Austria by Prussia at the Battle of Sadowa. When the year passed without event at the Vatican, they relaxed and thought the worst was over.

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:

Medieval Latin antitypus, from Late Greek antitupos, copy, antitype, from Greek, corresponding, representing: anti-, equal to, like. See anti- + tupos, print, impression.

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.

Here is a quote from this expert on the official teachings of the Vatican and Latin Canon Law:

But since We hold upon this 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. (Great Encyclical Letters of Pope Leo XIII, p. 304).

The Pope's Law is called Codex Juris Canonici

Obviously when you are God Almighty upon the earth, you can lay down the LAW to mere earthlings or humans....You can even make SLAVES of them if you are a malevolent DEITY.

The Popes try to rule their earthly kingdom through their legal system known as the Code of Canon Law or in Latin: Codex Juris Canonici. Most of it is still locked up in medieval Latin, and for the eyes of the hierarchy only.

Every facet of human life . . . from the cradle to the grave . . . is covered in their Code, and it is a separate legal system to the legal systems of most countries of the world.

In every country in the world where the Latin hierarchy is established, there are 2 legal systems, one claiming superiority and jurisdiction over the other. According to the authoritative Elements of Ecclesiastical Law, written by a Latin canonist, with an Imprimatur from the Latin bishop of Newark, the Pope alone is the source of all of this Canon Law.

There you have it, an absolute DICTATORSHIP ruling the world in the name of Christ. Rome's Canon Law is DIAMETRICALLY opposed to the U.S. Constitution and the laws of most countries of the world.

Every facet of the U.S. Constitution is condemned by the Canon Law!!

Everything we take for granted under the U.S. Constitution is CONDEMNED by the Latin Canon Law....Freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, trial by jury, innocent until proven guilty etc., etc. are anathema to the Pope and his Canon Law.

JEHOVAH is a LAWGIVER!!

JEHOVAH—the real God of the universe—does not use a substitute or share His throne with anybody:

I am the LORD (JEHOVAH): that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. (Isaiah 42:8).

When JEHOVAH led His people out of Egyptian bondage, the first thing he gave them was a LEGAL SYSTEM:

And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this LAW, which I set before you this day? (Deuteronomy 4:8).

JEHOVAH did NOT give his LAW to the Israelites in some obscure or DEAD LANGUAGE like Latin and command Moses to keep it a secret from all but a select few:

And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law very PLAINLY.( Deuteronomy 27:8).
