Clues for the identity of the Antichrist

[Beta Ray Bill]

Um, Professor, please tell me you've studied ancient languages:

John wrote that the number "is the number of a man's name; and his number is 666." This tells us that those who received the "mark" were actually in allegiance with a "man," an actually person of the first century. So, who was he? Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus! Better known as Nero Caesar.

John used a puzzle called Gematria in which numbers are used to represent certain letters. John used this puzzle to reveal Nero without actually writing down his name. Remember, the early churches were being persecuted during this time—not only from the Jews, but also from the Romans.

Nero Caesar fits the gematria code number "666." Using this code, his name would be rendered as "NRWN QSR." (NRWN QSR).

N = 50
R = 200
W = 6
N = 50
Q = 100
S = 60
R = 200

which, when added together, equals 666 . The fact that Nero fits the description of the "beast" is well documented. According to Suetonius, he murdered his parents, wife, brother, aunt, and many others close to him and of high station in Rome. He was a torturer, a homosexual rapist, and a sodomite. He even married two young boys and paraded them around as his wives. One of the boys, whose name was Sporus, was castrated by Nero. He was truly beastial in his character, depravity, and actions. He devised a kind of game: covered with the skin of some wild animal, he was let loose from a cage and attacked the private parts of men and women, who were bound at stakes.  He also initiated the war against the Jews which led to the destruction of Jerusalem in 70AD.

Trying to apply "anti-christ" to a modern figure is preposterous. Like almost everything in the Bible, the anti-christ was an idea meant for the era in which it was thought up. People back then could only talk about the world they knew. Predicting the end of the world 2000 years away for them is like us trying to predict what is going to happen in the year 4000. It's not even close to plausible.
