Sun Tzu: My apologies if i sounded rude ... I will try to answer information about the AntiChrist ... i've spent 6 years of my life studying about the New World Order and AntiChrist etc, so i know a reasonable amount about it and will share the information with you ...
1. Revelations 13:16 says - "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."
According to my understanding ... We will be able to count/calculate the number of this man, the AntiChrist. How? i''ll explain ...
Firstly what is needed is a Language other than English, a language that has an alpha-numerical system ... meaning ... that each letter of the Alphabet has also a numerical value. In my opinion ... one of the languages somebody can use is Greek, the New Testament was also written in greek i might add. Hebrew can also be used if you like, but i would stick to Greek, Pagan's use Greek for numerology and stuff too, this is one of the languages you can use to count the number of this man.
2. He will be from a political background, heres one reason why...
666 ....
First 6 ....
Satan/Lucifer = Bossman
Second 6 ...
AntiChrist = Head of the European Union, Political.
Third 6 ...
The False Prophet = Religious, most probably the next world pope.
The AntiChrist MUST have a Political background because the Bible states that he will deceive the world and basically he will appear to be a "hero" if you like. He will come to the world as a Hero and make peace so this will deceive the Jews, because they will think that nobody has been able to make peace for us, and here this man comes along and has made peace? He must be the messiah etc. This is what AntiChrist will do, try to establish peace. Amazingly enough the Bible says that Jesus is the Prince of peace.
Anyway ... Revelations 17:9 states -
"And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth."
The Seven mountains are Seven hills, (here again we see the number 7 cropping up in the Bible) ... The seven hills are representing Rome.
Rome fits in perfectly with the End times because it's related to the End-Time Apostacy Prostitute system of Babylon as described in Revelation 17.
Rome is also known as the City of Seven Hills. Its also where the Vatican is and the Pope etc etc. AntiChrist will arise out of the Region of the European Union, so will the False Prophet.
Its prophecied that the Anti-Christ shall sign a 7 year Peace treaty "with many" ... Mainly being Israel of course, now it says that this Peace shall be broken in the midst, 1,260 days to be precise. The treaty will be signed for exactly 2,520 days.
He will receive power for exactly 42 months, which is 1,260 days half-way through the covenant etc etc.
If you want more exact information message me for details and i will give you some websites to study. But beleive me my friend when i say this ... the Anti-Christ cannot be Paul, it really does not fit his character. Now im saying this after doing 6 years of research on this topic, so i'd like to think i know what im talking about.
If you want more information, message me for details.
God bless.
