John
2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is
antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
2John
1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus
Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
Revelation 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the
earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
Revelation 13:12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first
beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship
the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
Revelation 13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh
fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
Revelation 13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the
means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast;
saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the
beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
Revelation 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of
the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as
many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
Revelation 13:16 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:
Revelation 13:17 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.
Revelation 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding
count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is
Six hundred threescore and six [666].
Gematria-
a common use at the time John wrote- which gives each letter of the Hebrew
alphabet a numerical value.
Nero Caesar[
1st century emperor] equals 666.
STUFF
HE DID;
1-Made people worship him- as God [2Thessalonians 2:3 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;
2Thessalonians 2:4 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.]
2-Castrated
a boy- named Sporus- then married him.
3-Put
tar on Christians- set them on fire and used them as human torches.
Nero
ruled as emperor and persecuted the early church- his rule led up to the
destruction of the Jewish temple in a.d. 70.
The
predictions Jesus gave to his apostles about the destruction of Jerusalem and a
great time of wrath [or tribulation] can indeed be seen as having happened
during the 1st century.
Many
people believed Nero to be the fulfillment of the anti-Christ that the New
Testament speaks of.
John
the apostle wrote that ‘anti-Christ’ were those who denied Jesus- at the time
of his writing [1st century].
John-
who wrote Revelation- said ‘the mind that has wisdom’ will figure out who he is
talking about.
John
sent this letter to actual Christians living in the 1st century.
You
would expect that the readers of the letter would have some clue to who he was
talking about.
As we
go thru Revelation- my intent is not to cover [and debate] all the various
views on all the verses in this book.
I
simply show you this view [which I think is about the best one out there] Because
we live in a day where many of the ‘end times’ teachings seemed to be consumed
with a future leader [a famous preacher just prophesied ‘the anti-Christ is
here’ the other day] who is still to come-
And
that this will set off a cascade of events [most see these events as prophesied
in Revelation- and sort of see it as a play book].
So-
it is quite possible that the anti-Christ was Nero-
And
yes- we live in a wicked world- and sure- we might/will continue to see men
‘rise’ and do wicked things.
But
when Paul and John wrote- in the first century- warning the believers about a
wicked ruler who would do bad things-
I
think it would have been a disservice if he were speaking about a leader- who
would not show up- until at least 2 thousand years later.
BELOW-
I pasted some various views here- just to give you a flavor of the different
ways Christians view some of these things.
At
the end I also added some of the passages I talk about on the video.
Here’s
a quote from St. Augustine- an early Christian leader- referring to the verse I
pasted from 2nd Thessalonians-
"Some
think that the Apostle Paul referred to the Roman empire, and that he was
unwilling to use language more explicit, lest he should incur the calumnious
charge of wishing ill to the empire which it was hoped would be eternal; so
that in saying, 'For the mystery of iniquity doth already work,' he alluded to
Nero, whose deeds already seemed to be as the deeds of Antichrist. And hence
some suppose that he shall rise again and be Antichrist. Others, again, suppose
that he is not even dead, but that he was concealed that he might be supposed
to have been killed, and that he now lives in concealment in the vigor of that
same age which he had reached when he was believed to have perished, and will
live until he is revealed in his own time and restored to his kingdom. But I
wonder that men can be so audacious in their conjectures" (De Civitate
Dei, XX.19.3).
I pasted this
from another site-
In both ancient Greek
and Hebrew, letters also represented numerals (as they do in Latin), their
values assigned according to the order of the alphabet, alpha and aelph,
for example, having the numerical value of 1. By adding these values, words
could be represented as the sum of their numbers. This literation of numbers
and numeration of letters was known as isopsephism by the Greeks and gematria
by the Jews (which, in cabalistic practice, has been used to interpret Hebrew
scripture). If the Greek spelling of Nero Caesar (Neron Kaisar) is
transliterated into Hebrew (nrwn qsr), the numerical equivalent is 666.
What is curious,
however, is not so much that 666 can be decoded to signify Nero but that the
name of the emperor is encoded in this particular number, especially since it
could have been represented more readily in other ways. If "Nero" is
retained in Greek, for example, the numeration would be 955 or, if
"Neron," 1005; in Hebrew, then 256 or 306, respectively. It only is
when the words are transliterated into Hebrew that the numeration adds up to
666 (nrwn qsr, 50 + 200 + 6 + 50 + 100 + 60 + 200). Even so,
this is an alternate spelling, a letter in "Neron" being transliterated
(nrwn instead of nrw) but not in "Caesar" (qsr instead
of qysr), although these forms do appear in both the Talmud and a
contemporary Aramaic scroll from Qumran. It is intriguing, therefore, that 666
encodes the name of Nero in Hebrew when Revelation, itself, was written in
Greek.
One should appreciate,
too, that there were no numbers in Greek or Hebrew and that the "the
number of the beast" was not presented as a figure but as letters of the
alphabet or written in full. That is to say, it was not expressed as
"666" (indeed, discrete Arabic numerals would not be invented for
another five hundred years) but as the numerical values of the three letters
representing 600, 60, and 6.
For Watt, the
significance of 666 is that its expression in Latin is the sequential Roman
numerals DCLXVI, which parallels but is the antithesis of the "Alpha and
Omega" that John uses to characterize both Christ (22:13) and God (1:8,
21:6). As the Deity represents the beginning and end, so the Antichrist is a reversal
of the first and last, D (500) preceding I (1). To phrase this another way, 666
(or rather DCLXVI) signifies the Antichrist because that number signifies Nero,
and Nero—who was a matricide, proclaimed his divinity on Egyptian coins as the
"Savior and Benefactor of the World," and the first emperor to
persecute the Christians—signifies the Antichrist. Indeed, the procurator of
Judea (c. AD 60) refers to Nero as "my lord" (kyrios), the
same title applied to Jesus (Acts 25:26).
If the Latin (rather
than the Greek) spelling "Nero Caesar" (above) is transliterated into
Hebrew (nrw qsr), the final "n" in Neron being
omitted (and its corresponding value of 50), the name computes as 616, which is
the number indicated in the oldest surviving copy of the New Testament (the
fragment illustrated below). If, instead, "Neron Caesar" is correct,
it may be that the Latin was transcribed incorrectly, perhaps because the
copyist realized that this transliteration did not equate to 666 and so omitted
the letter, which changed the sum to 616.
Still, each digit of
666 is one less than seven, the perfect number, and such mathematical play may
have tended to establish 666, rather than 616. Regardless of the number, Nero
is the only name that can account for both 666 and 616, which is the most
compelling argument that he, and not some other emperor, such as Caligula or
Domitian, was intended. Too, for the number to have any significance for a
reader of the first century AD, it would have to refer to a contemporary
historical figure.
Writing a century
later, Irenaeus is the first church father to comment on the number of the
beast, although he apparently was ignorant of what the number actually encoded.
Nor is he correct in assuming that John's vision occurred "almost in our
day, towards the end of Domitian's reign" (Adversus Haereses,
V.30.3; a tradition repeated by Eusebius in his Ecclesiastical History,
III.18.3, and by the church fathers), which is to say sometime before AD 96,
when the emperor was assassinated and just a few years before John himself died
of old age. Rather, his presumed banishment to Patmos (where Revelation was
written) seems to have occurred almost thirty years earlier, toward the end of
Nero's reign and before the fall of Jerusalem in AD 70, which John otherwise would
have mentioned.
For Irenaeus, 666 was
correct. The Antichrist "sums up in his own person all the commixture of
wickedness which took place previous to the deluge....and also sums up every
error of devised idols since the flood" (V.29.2). The flood came in the
six hundredth year of Noah and the golden image set up by Nebuchadnezzar (who
Shadrach, Meshach, and Bednego refused to worship) was sixty cubits high and
six cubits wide (Daniel 3:1ff). This being the case and "this number being
found in all the most approved and ancient copies....I do not know how it is
that some have erred following the ordinary mode of speech, and have vitiated
the middle number [L] in the name, deducting the amount of fifty from it, so
that instead of six decads they will have it that there is but one"
(V.30.1).
Nero, too, was the
sixth emperor, counting from Julius Caesar (as did Suetonius, for example, and
Josephus, cf. Antiquities of the Jews, XVIII.2.2, where Tiberius is
identified as the third). "And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The
seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. And there are
seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come"
(Revelation 17:9-10). Of these emperors, it is Nero who had been "wounded
to death" but "his deadly wound was healed" and he still lived
(13:3)—Nero redivivus.
St.
Jerome-"As for the Antichrist, there is no question but what he is going
to fight against the holy covenant, and that when he first makes war against
the king of Egypt, he shall straightway be frightened off by the assistance of
the Romans. But these events were typically prefigured under Antiochus
Epiphanes, so that this abominable king who persecuted God's people foreshadows
the Antichrist, who is to persecute the people of Christ. And so there are many
of our viewpoint who think that Domitius Nero was the Antichrist because of his
outstanding savagery and depravity." (St. Jerome - Commentary on Daniel;
notes on Daniel
11:27-30, -- BAKER BOOK HOUSE
Grand Rapids 6, Michigan 1958)
Some will suggest that the book of
Revelation was written only for those living at the time, and that 666 most
probably applies to Cæsar Nero, who ruled Rome from 54 to 68 A.D., rather than
someone from latter centuries. This point of view, which suggests Revelation
had an immediate application to the first century, is known as preterism. So, just how is Nero
linked to 666?
Preterists take Nero's name, Nero
Cæsar and transliterates the Latin into Hebrew. An "n" is added
to conform with the Hebrew spelling and usage of Nero's name, in a manner
similar to the Greek adding an "s" (i.e., Jeremias, Jonas, etc.). Other
names in scripture where the adding of an "n" may be seen are
Abaddon, Apollyon, and Armageddon. Once Hebraicized, the Latin Nero Caesar becomes "nrwn qsr," which when using the numeric
equivalent of the letters, then adds up to 666 as follows:
Nun
|
=
|
50
|
Resh
|
=
|
200
|
Waw
|
=
|
6

Nun

Qoph
|
=
|
100
|
Samech
|
=
|
60
|
Resh
|
=
|
200
|
An example of this spelling has been recently discovered in one of
the Dead Sea scrolls. If you use the same process, but without the added
"n" the result is 616. Interestingly, some early manuscripts have 616
rather than 666, but even scholars such as Irenæus [A.D. 120-202] attribute the 616 to only a
copyist error (Against Heresies: V, xxx) "this number [666] being found in
all the most approved and ancient copies" [of the Apocalypse] and asserts
that "men who saw John face to face bearing their testimony" [to it -
666].
The Seventy Weeks of Daniel Nine
by Prof. David J. Engelsma
I. The Premillennial InterpretationA. Who they are
A. In opposition to the premill view, there are two basic objections as a whole
.
All of these occur during the first advent of
Christ Jesus (from His Incarnation through His resurrection and ascension).
.
The period begins with the going forth of a
command to build Jerusalem (v. 25).
1) This is the decree of Cyrus that Judah may return to Canaan in 537 B.C. 2) See Isaiah 44:28 and Isaiah 45:13. 3) This was a crucial juncture in Israel’s history and a wonderful manifestation of God’s faithfulness. a) Israel is desolate, doomed. b) God then, amazingly, orders Cyrus to give Israel deliverance, life from the dead.
.
Basically, there are two objections; both
concern verses 26-27.
.
The 70 weeks are fulfilled in the first advent
of Jesus.
Another interpretation of the 70 weeks given by some Reformed amillennialists is the following. The 70 weeks are the entire period from the command to build Jerusalem to the second advent of Christ, including the present age. From Cyrus’ decree to the first advent is 7 weeks; from the first advent to the appearance of Antichrist in the future is 62 weeks; the 70th week is the brief period in the future during which Antichrist will reign and which ends with Christ’s return. The interpretation is possible because of another possible reading of the last part of verse 25. It is possible to translate the last part of verse 25 as follows: “… unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks; and threescore and two weeks the street shall be built again” etc. According to this translation, the building of the street and the wall, during the 62 weeks, is symbolic of the gathering of the church in the new dispensation. This interpretation is wrong for the following reasons:

VERSES-
Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God:
and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now
already is it in the world.
NORTH BERGEN NYC LINKS-
‘Huh- what the hell is this John’?
I’m sitting here- categorizing links- and I figured I’ll put
all the North Bergen links together- you know- for future reference.
‘But we are tired of you spamming us with all your ‘darn’
videos!’ ‘Ok- we got it- you have these amateur YouTube videos- and we have to
pretend we are watching them’!
‘What can this be accomplishing John- we are so mad we might
reject even the good teaching ones- and wind up in Hell because we missed the
gospel’!
At least you won’t have to see my videos down there.
Actually- it’s strange, as I go thru these- I have some with
Cheech [Jimmy] an old friend who I haven’t seen in 30 years.
Then one day about 5 years ago- my phone rings- and I usually
don’t answer my phone [just ask my friends- and family].
But for some reason- I got it.
I was sitting at the halfway house I started with a friend-
here in Corpus Christi.
I answered it ‘hello- who’s this”?
I couldn’t recognize the voice- but it was a New Jersey
number.
‘Hey John- it’s me- Cheech’.
He was in a halfway house in Newark- getting ready to move
back to North Bergen- and I was sitting in a halfway house- in Texas.
I made a trip back to North Bergen the following year- and
saw Jimmy the first time in about 30 years.
He used to call me when I first came to Texas- but haven’t
seen him in years.
So- like my Pop’s videos- I made a few videos with Jimmy for
the first time- ever.
Got back to Texas- got a call from a mutual friend- he said
‘Jimmy died’.
Cheech hung out with me for a few weeks- I prayed for his
mom- he saw the interaction- I wasn’t ‘preaching’ to him- but you see how the
guys I hang out with- well- they are right in there.
So- in these videos- maybe you’ll find stuff like that.
God bless- oh yeah- can’t wait for next year’s visit- and
all the new links!
