THE APOCALYPSE AND THE TEMPLE CODE

Example: Mohammad, Napoleon, Hitler, and Kissinger can total 666

C. Some believe the number should be 616, instead of 666

In May of 2005, scholars at Oxford University used advanced imaging techniques to read a previously illegible portion of a manuscript from Revelation that used 616 instead of the majority text which renders it 666. This idea of 616 was known and referred to in older notes of some Bibles. Believed it was an attempt to make Nero Caesar the name of the beast whose name in Greek is 616! (Nero Caesar in Latin) from Jerome’s Latin translation.

INSIGHT FROM THE 3 RD CENTURY MANUSCRIPT

 The New Testament Greek was translated into Latin by St. Jerome in 382 AD (The Vulgate)  The Peshitta was a translation from the Aramaic used in the Syrian Orthodox Church  In 1519 Erasmus translated a Bible from Greek and Latin text  He used texts from the 12 th -13 th centuries (the Byzantine, Koine, and Majority Text)  It became the basic Greek text of the New Testament

In the earliest translations there are 3 Greek letters used for the “666” in Rev. 13. These were later given their numerical values as “ six hundred, sixty and six.”

A. Third century Egyptian manuscript from 350 AD uses three Greek letters, chi, xi, and stigma.

1. The oldest manuscripts use these three Greek letters 2. Later they were calculated into 600, 60, and 6 as the number of the beast, because these three Greek letters have a number value with them:

a. The Greek letter CHI is 600 b. The Greek letter XI is 60 c. The Greek letter STIGMA would have been 6

B. These letters are unique

1. The letter CHI is transliterated as an x, and stigma is not in the Modern Greek alphabet 2. Stigma, in ancient times, could represent the 6 th letter of the alphabet 3. It is not a real letter but was invented by Greeks to represent 6 4. Stigma was also a mark that was put on slaves in Egypt and the Roman times 5. It is transliterated as “s” and its number equivalent is “6.”

What if these three letters are symbols and not just a value of the letters? If the antichrist is Islamic, then how will the mark tie into the beast system?

C. These symbols have been pointed out by former Muslims

1. The CHI is an X, and the X is the same form of the Saudi Arabian government ’ s civil sign 2. The XI is unique when looking at this letter sideways
