John stands apart as a Bible author. He wrote the Apocalypse, the Book of Revelation. Only John uses the term Antichrist. Only John provides a numeric clue to the identity of the Antichrist. John is let in on a huge secret of who the man of sin is. He knew who was going to betray Jesus hours before all the other disciples. Jesus shared secrets with John and spoke plainly with him. John is the disciple whom Jesus loved.
John left us an intriguing clue. Despite the numeric precision, the 666 riddle is still not cracked after two thousand years. Is it solvable? Yes, provided we count with wisdom and understanding according to John.
Is there a need to know the identity of the Antichrist? Can we know?
Actually it's up to us. John says if you are up for it, go for it. He did not put it quite like that of course. What John said was, "Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast".
I am not looking for the Antichrist. I am looking for the real Christ before the fake one comes to take over the world after the rapture.
The English Gematria
This may shock you but John actually encoded the name of the Antichrist in English. If we want to count with understanding, we need to pay close attention to John. After all, he is the originator of the 666 puzzle.
How do we know that the Antichrist riddle is encoded in English as intended by John?
The answer lies in John's puzzle itself. The 666 beast scripture, Rev 13:18, is verse 30,927 or 39 TIMES 793. This is nothing special except that the verse total of three other scriptures with the 666 number is also a factor of 793; it is 41 TIMES 793.
Can this possibly be a coincidence?
Paul Black, a student of Bible Numerics, discovered the 793 factor and shared on the 5 Doves (see link). A couple of years later in 2008, I used the standard English gematria (A=1, B=2, ... J=10, K=20, ...S=100, T=200 ...) to count the name of the most powerful king on earth at the time. To my utter surprise the count came up to 793.
Does that alone prove that Barack Hussein Obama is the Antichrist? Perhaps not. But with one coincidence after another, you begin to wonder how many odds defying coincidences you need to dispel disbelief.
John puts out two numbers for the world to see, 666 and 1318 (Rev 13:18). The Holy Spirit hides the Antichrist number, 793, in the verse order number of Rev 13:18 (30,927).
Let me repeat the question, how do we know that the Antichrist riddle is encoded in English as intended by John or the Holy Spirit?
One proof is in the English gematria; its total value from A to Z is 1318+666+1318+793 !!!!!!
1318+666 <=> 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+ (A to I)
& <=> 10+20+30+40+50+60+70+80+90+ (J to R)
1318+793 <=> 100+200+300+400+500+600+700+800 (S to Z)
The standard Hebrew and Greek gematria do not have this numeric total. John's numbers, 666 & 1318, are deeply connected to the English gematria; moreover, its total value reveals the Antichrist (793).
The Fish Number
John gave us another intriguing number in John 21:11, "Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three (153): and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken."
The number 153 is anything but random. It is the second largest Right-truncatable triangular number; 666 is the largest. Is John a mathematician?
The Holy Spirit, through John, is using the English gematria to form the Antichrist puzzle.
Here is further proof: the fish scripture number, 2111 (John 21:11), is the sum of 1318+793 !!!!!!
Hence, the total value of the 26 letters of the English gematria is the sum of the fish scripture number, 2111 (John 21:11), the beast scripture number, 1318 (Rev 13:18), and the beast number 666 !!!!!!
1318+666 <=> 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+ (A to I)
& <=> 10+20+30+40+50+60+70+80+90+ (J to R)
2111 <=> 100+200+300+400+500+600+700+800 (S to Z)
One may be forgiven for thinking that John is the father of the English language, and a mathematician comparable to the likes of Pythagoras.
If John is not a mathematician, how could he have randomly picked two numbers (666, 153) that belong to a special class of numbers known to mathematicians as the Right-truncatable triangular number (R-TTN)? (See link: https://oeis.org/A202269)
There are only 10 such numbers in existence: 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 36, 66, 105, 153, 666. John picked the two largest members from this special class of numbers.
Even more astounding, the grand total including order numbers of these 10 R-TTNs is 1318 !!!!!!
This is beyond random. It feels more like the stuff of conspiracy!
The Antichrist Number
A puzzle tends to misdirect our search or set a thinking trap. For example, Bob and Ben were born on the same day, to the same parents, but they aren’t twins. How come? Answer: They are two of a set of triplets. Gotcha!
Are we misled by the distractors such as the Bobs and Bens and miss out on the true Barrys?
When presented with Rev 13:18, we naturally would count 666 in Hebrew or Greek to solve the puzzle; but many were misdirected. We should still count 666, but in relation to 793, and in English too.
Why is this so? Why can't we just count 666 and pinpoint the Antichrist?
Let us suppose John hides the number 666 in another scripture to help us solve the puzzle he gave. Lo and behold, some one finds it and is able to link it to the beast of Rev 13:18. But we have a problem, Houston. Finding the 666 number per se provides no new information about the 666 puzzle. It's like saying a rose is a rose is a rose.
But finding the Antichrist number along with 666 is something else. The number 666 marks out the man with 793; it is the mark of the beast indeed!
In another words, 666 is the identifier, not the identified; the tag that is tagged to the thing is not the thing itself.
A classic example of this thinking trap can be seen in John's fish and beast numbers.
The difference between the fish scripture number, 2111 (John 21:11), and the 666 beast scripture number, 1318 (Rev 13:18), is the Antichrist number 793 !!!!!!
This example shows finding the Antichrist number 793 in the presence of 666 and related numbers allows an inference to be made. Had John embedded a 666 code instead, we are not any the wiser. The 666 rose is just that, the 666 rose.
The Beast & the Fish
John has proven to be an enigmatic Bible author. By all accounts John is just a fisherman and no mathematician. It is the Holy Spirit who moved John to place the beast puzzle at the exact Bible verse for us to search out.
I will share yet one more evidence supporting the hypothesis that the Antichrist riddle is meant to be decoded using the English gematria.
John recorded the fish number 153 in John 21:11 (number 2111) and the beast number 666 in Rev 13:18 (number 1318).
What do you suppose is hidden in the sum of these four Johannine numbers, 153, 2111, 666 & 1318?
It is the sum of 1458 + 666 + 1458 + 666.
Fish: 153 + 2111 <=> 1458 + 666
Beast: 666 + 1318 <=> 1458 + 666
The English gematria of Barry Soetoro (a.k.a. Barack Hussein Obama) is 1458 !!!!!!
Can we get a more perfect match? The man is encoded twice using the English gematria of his two names (793 & 1458) in the fish and beast scriptures.
There are 666 numbers between 793 (Barack Hussein Obama) and 1458 (Barry Soetoro) counting both numbers inclusively!
Furthermore, the English gematria of the name BARRY, 883, is also the English gematria of THE ANTICHRIST !!!!!!
The English gematria has proven once again that it is the key that unlocks the 666 mystery.
Two Names of the Antichrist
Something I discovered more than a decade ago is beginning to make a lot of sense. Obama served two presidential terms ending Jan 20, 2017. From his birthdate, Aug 4, 1961, to his last day in office as US President, there are 20,259 days.
Jan 2017 is Obama's 666th month on earth !!!!!!
20,259 days is the sum of 793 + 1458 + 793 + 1458 + 793 + 1458 + 793 + 1458 + 793 + 1458 + 793 + 1458 + 793 + 1458 + 793 + 1458 + 793 + 1458 !!!!!!
The length of Obama's days from birth to his last day as US President is the English gematria sum of his name (793 / 1458) added 6+6+6 times !!!!!!
Because of the 666 numbers between his 2 names (793 & 1458), the number 666 is hidden 6+6+6 times over the span of 666 months !!!!!!
Can we find another candidate who is more tagged by the mark of the beast?
The Wall Street Sign
If God is able to speak through a donkey, He is able to hide the identity of the Antichrist in the street signs on Wall Street, the world's financial center.
Take a look at one frequent image seen on TV or Google.
The two numbers above the street name, WALL ST, when combined is 2251.
The sum of the English gematria of 793 (Barack Hussein Obama) and 1458 (Barry Soetoro) is 2251 !!!!!!
Take a look at another frequent image found on Google.
The two numbers found on the above street sign when combined in reverse order is 2111.
The fish scripture number, 2111 (John 21:11), is the sum of 1318+793 !!!!!!
Remove the scales in our eyes, we can begin to see the names of the Antichrist on open display in broad day light on Wall Street.
The Truncatable Triangles
The 666 beast number is the largest Right-truncatable triangular number (R-TTN). From the 10 R-TTNs, the beast scripture number, 1318 (Rev 13:18), is derived (see link for details). The table below shows the breakdown of the TTNs plus the order numbers that sum to 1318.
| 1 | 1 | |||||||
| 3 | 2 | |||||||
| 6 | 3 | 2 | ||||||
| 10 | 4 | 1 | 1 | |||||
| 15 | 5 | 1 | 1 | |||||
| 36 | 8 | 3 | 2 | |||||
| 66 | 11 | 6 | 3 | 2 | ||||
| 105 | 14 | 10 | 4 | 1 | 1 | |||
| 153 | 17 | 15 | 5 | 1 | 1 | |||
| 666 | 36 | 8 | 66 | 11 | 6 | 3 | 2 |
What was the Holy Spirit thinking when He placed the 666 beast scripture exactly where it is in Rev 13:18 (1318)? Pardon the irreverence, but was the Wonderful Numberer truncating triangles when He thought up the Antichrist puzzle?
To add to the intrigue, the Antichrist number 793 is the sum of SIX numbers belonging to the 666 set of truncatables (last row in the above table); the SIX numbers form a triangle.
The Antichrist 793
6
66 11
666 36 8
66 11
666 36 8
Observe in this triangle that the four NON-SIX digits are precisely the four digits of the beast scripture number, 1318 (Rev 13:18) !!!!!!
The number 1318 wraps around the number 6 forming a small triangle; it splits the big Antichrist 793 triangle into two smaller triangles!
6
66 11
666 368
66 11
666 368
It appears our Lord stamps His signature in the 1318 triangle. The Greek gematria value of the ending phrase of Rev 13:18, "and his number is Six hundred threescore and six", is 2368, also the Greek gematria value of JESUS CHRIST.
Combine the two ones at the apex of the 1318 triangle as 2 (1+1), and join the three digits at the base (368), Jesus Christ (2368) steps out into the open!
Amazing!
This lends tremendous weight to the evidence that points to the Antichrist 793 (6+66+666+11+36+8).
Moreover, if we consider the Left-truncatable triangular numbers, L-TTN (see link: https://oeis.org/A300891), another surprise awaits us.
| 1 | 1 | ||||||||
| 3 | 2 | ||||||||
| 6 | 3 | 2 | |||||||
| 21 | 6 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 1 | ||||
| 36 | 8 | 6 | 3 | 2 | |||||
| 66 | 11 | 6 | 3 | 2 | |||||
| 91 | 13 | 1 | 1 | ||||||
| 136 | 16 | 36 | 8 | 6 | 3 | 2 | |||
| 406 | 28 | 7 | 6 | 3 | 2 | 6 | 3 | 2 | |
| 666 | 36 | 8 | 66 | 11 | 6 | 3 | 2 |
The sum of the last two rows in the above two tables (R-TTNs and L-TTNs) is equal to 793 (Barack Hussein Obama) and 1458 (Barry Soetoro) !!!!!!
L-TTN: 406+28+7+6+3+2+6+3+2
666+36+8+66+11+6+3+2 <=> 793
R-TTN: 153+17+15+5+1+1 <=> 1458
666+36+8+66+11+6+3+2
The Antichrist 793 is hidden in the last row beginning with 666 in each of the L-TTN and R-TTN tables.
What Next?
Anything can happen now with what is going on in the world. My take is purely from the numbers angle. When Obama stepped down as US President, I held on to my belief and numbers.
My belief has not weakened. My numbers grow firmer each day and fit more perfectly together.
No one has the answer to the SIX million dollar question on when the final curtain falls.
The pandemic may well be the opening act of the Last Days.
It has been a long wait.
Lord, please come soon.
John
