Mark Levin's Latest Book

 THE DEMOCRAT PARTY HATES AMERICA.

Provocative title of course, but right on

The Pope Has the 666, Can the Assyrian Beat That?

 Chuck Misslewr makes some good points about the qualifications for the final world leader.  For one thing he doesn't like the term Antichrist for that ruler because it isn't used anywhere in scripture for him.  That's true.  And I'd had some wonderings about that myself from time to time.  It's nto at all clear that this final world tyrant must be the Antichrist.   He has some religious pretensions but he's mostly a military leader for one thing.  Antichus Epiphanes desecrated the temple with a pig and the god Zeus, but not with himself although he'd taken the title epiphanes which gives him religious airs.  Himrod, the originator of all the pagan religious that made their way ultimately to the Roman Church, was goth a political leader and the center of a religious cult with his mother Semiramis.  Missler sees the final ruler as a Nimrod, Nimrod II he hcalls him.  The Assyrian is the title from scripture he refers to as his main identifier.

Although I think Missler makes some good points about this final ruler as something other than the Antichrist, I keep coming back to the Pope for all kinds of reasons, and the one I have in mind now is that he so perfetly owns the number 666.  YHes, perfectly.  None of the other candidates I've seen proposed as the owners of that number come close to the Pope.  If the Assyrian should show up eventually and have a claim to surpass the Pope he would also have to surpass the amazing fit of that number the Pope wears so well.

That number for the Pope derives from the Latin title VICARIVS FILII DEI.  I hope I got that written reight because the numbers and letters have to match up perfectly to make the point.  The point is that is a title of the Pope, THE title in a sense, translated as "In the place of the Son of God."  There couldn't be a more perfectly synonymous correspondonedence between the title and the concept of the Antichrist, it's the very definition of the Antichrist, a man who usuprts the position of the Son of God.  Puts himself in His place, claims His attraibutes and powers.  And that is certainly the Pope.  

And the 666 that is derived from that title is a work of genius if I may put it that way.  As far as I know, Latin is the only language in which its letters ARE the numbers that are its very numbering and calculating system.  Roman Numberals ARE the letters themselves.  Many languages have numbers assigned to various letters but as far as I know Latin is the only languages in qhich the numbers and the letters are exact equivalents.

That is, the I IS the number 1, the V IS the number 5, the X is 10, L is 50, C is 100, M is 1000, oh forgot D.  That's 500.  When you add up the Roman Numerals in the title Vicarivs Filii Die they add up to 666.  You don't have to learn numbers as assigned to letters and then add up the numbers, you simply add up the letters that correspond to t the numbers and you get the 666.

I think the Assyrian or any other candiddate for the final world ruler would have to do better than the Pope at identifying himself with the famous 666.  

Otherwise I think Missler makes a great point.  There isn't any clear reason the final world ruler has to be the Antichrist.  

Exscewpt that number 666 which attaches to the beat of Revelation 13.
