Adonikam will be the name of the Beast

[Alfred Persson]

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 (Rev. 13:18 KJV)

John states wisdom is required to solve the riddle. If the literal calculation of Gematria precisely identified the name whose number is 666, there is wisdom using Gematria. However, the literal calculation of Gematria results in too many names to solve the riddle, therefore there is no wisdom in using Gematria. As John states wisdom is required, unwise Gematria is ruled out as a way to solve the riddle.

What is a riddle? “A question or statement intentionally phrased so as to require ingenuity in ascertaining its answer or meaning, typically presented as a game.”-Oxford Languages

John gamely invites all “that hath understanding count the number”. It follows solving the riddle depends on how the text is phrased.

Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666. (Rev. 13:18 NKJ)

the sons of Adonikam, 666 (Ezr. 2:13 NAS)
the sons of Adonikam, 667 (Neh. 7:18 NAS)

John gives three clues how 666 points to one name.

1) “Calculate the number” (666+1=667 Adonikam).
2) “Number OF a man” (666 sons are “OF” the man Adonikam)
3) “His number is 666” (Only the man named Adonikam has 666 sons):

John wasn’t like modern critics, he would consider the difference in number intentional. Experts in Hebrew Scripture will immediately recognize John’s riddle is a asymmetric Janus Parallelism(Gen. 6:3; 49:26; Cant. 2:12; Ezek. 20:37; Dan. 11:35; Nah. 1:8.) on the number 666.

Adonikam had 666 sons, or perhaps counting from his father also named Adonikam, 667 sons.

From the “Janus” 666 we look back and “count” (5585 ψηφίζω psephizo) “as with pebbles” 666+1=667 to “Adonikam” as the Beast’s name.

From the “Janus” 666 we look forward, Adonikam had 666 sons, they are “of” him. Again the name Adonikam appears.

The only “man’s name” in Scripture linked with 666 is “Adonikam“.

“Therefore, the name of the Beast will be “Adonikam".

 

[for_his_glory]

There are many takes on who the number 666 represents, but we can agree it will definitely be a man that Satan works through.

Here is my understanding of Rev 13 and the number 666.

When reading Rev 13 about the beast out of the sea who gives power to the beast out of the earth this beast out of the earth is the false prophet, son of perdition, last antichrist, 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12. Scripture never speaks about just one antichrist and never with a capital "A", but that there have been many and the last one will come to deceive those who have no truth found in them, 1 John 2:18.

His number 666 can easily be worked out from his many titles, one of which is ‘Vicarius Filii Dei’ meaning ‘in the place of God.’ Indeed' the pope has taken the place and name of God by calling himself ‘holy father’.

vicar=short for, in place of, and Dei=short for Deity.

In Roman/Latin numerals, V=5, I=1, C=100, A=0, R=0, I=1, U=5 (same as V), S=0. Total= 112
F=0, I=1, L=50, I=1. I=1. Total=53
D=500, E=0, I=1. Total=501. Grand Total= 112+53+501=666


Rome had total control from 538AD – 1798 which equals 1260 years

Time, times and a half time

The 1260 Years End with a Head Wound to Papal Power

The "head wound" to papal power was inflicted in 1798 when General Berthier of France captured Pope Pius VI, who soon died in captivity in Valence, on August 29, 1799.

Wound Heals and Papal Power is Restored

Napoleon had closed down the Catholic Church and the Papacy, its power was thought to be forever broken. The wound was largely healed in 1929 when Mussolini gave the Vatican back to the Pope and established it as a country in it's own right in the Lateran Treaty. Today the Vatican (a church), has formal diplomatic relations with almost every country in the world.

You gave a good summary of a "Historicist" view that is impossible because John invites his readers in the first century to solve the riddle, which rules out the need for latter history. Moreover, Revelation is written in Greek to Greek speaking people, which makes any reference to Latin unlikely.


And you did make a embarrassing mistake. You said: Scripture never speaks about just one antichrist and never with a capital "A" and then refer to the scripture where precisely that exists:

Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour. (1 Jn. 2:18 NKJ)

A more weighty reason why your interpretation fails the test of scripture is its misunderstanding of the Beast that rises from the sea. That is the revived Roman Empire having ten horns the Prophet Daniel saw, it’s a government.

"After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge iron teeth; it was devouring, breaking in pieces, and trampling the residue with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns (Dan. 7:7 NKJ)


Notice the Government beast first has a "mouth like a lion", but 3.5 years later a "mouth speaking blasphemies" is added to it:

1 Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name.

2 Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority.

3 And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast.

4 So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?"

5 And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months.

6 Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. (Rev. 13:1-6 NKJ)



Adonikam is the False Christ "man of sin" Jesus warned us about.

At first he is the "mouth of a lion" of the revived Roman Empire, but 3.5 years later reveals he actually is the "son of destruction" child of the Devil and begins blaspheming God:

8 "I was considering the horns, and there was another horn, a little one, coming up among them, before whom three of the first horns were plucked out by the roots. And there, in this horn, were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking pompous words. (Dan. 7:8 NKJ)

36 "Then the king shall do according to his own will: he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god, shall speak blasphemies against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the wrath has been accomplished; for what has been determined shall be done.

37 "He shall regard neither the God of his fathers nor the desire of women, nor regard any god; for he shall exalt himself above them all (Dan. 11:36-37 NKJ)


So there are two phases of Antichrist, "man of sin" and "son of perdition. He begins as a miracle working Christian evangelist who the church accepts is "the Christ", and then (like Judas) turns on Christ revealing he actually is the literal son of the Devil and he fights Christ at Armageddon, which is when Christ delivers the head wound:

For one week, he will make a strong covenant with many people. For a half-week, he will stop both sacrifices and offerings. In their place will be the desolating monstrosities until the decreed destruction sweeps over the devastator." (Dan. 9:27 CEB)

And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel." (Gen. 3:15 NKJ)

This is all connected to modern demonic UFO manifestations and their experiments with humans to create a hybrid (and fallen) "elohim-human" "seed", a literal child of the devil that genetically is part human. Incredibly, he will consider himself above all "gods" (including the Devil), and specifically blaspheme the "God of gods" Yahweh.

3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition,
4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. (2 Thess. 2:3-4 NKJ)



On my site all this is explained in detail.

 

[for_his_glory]

KJV 1John 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

Rev 12:3 the other sign John saw was a great red dragon meaning Satan. Remember, this is a vision and a sign as Satan has not yet been cast out of heaven until the beginning of the 3 1/2 years of the greatest tribulation we will ever see nor ever see again, Matthew 24:21. The description of the dragon being great and red depicts its nature and character as being fierce and murderous, John 8:44. This red dragon is depicted as having seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. This is also confirmed in Rev 17 as mystery Babylon is described. The seven heads and ten horns refer to the original ten kingdoms of which three were subdued by the little horn of Daniel 7:8. The last kingdom which stands greater than all the others is that of a revived Roman Empire that takes control over all the ten nations who then implements a deceiving peace treaty with the Muslims in which the Dome of the Rock will be given over to the son of perdition as he reigns from the very Temple mount of God, meaning the holy place in Matthew 24:15. This is the abomination Jesus spoke of in Matthew 24:15, 16 that we are to flee from when we see the son of perdition take his seat in Jerusalem for 3 1/2 years.

Rev 13 the beast rises up out of the sea as the sea here is symbolic of people and nations as in a sea of humanity, Daniel Chapter 7:1-8; Revelation 17:15. This beast is a Luciferian system that controls world wide economics, political, military, educational and false religious system. This beast system that Satan works through gives its power to the beast out of the earth as the beast out of the earth appears as the Lamb of God, but is a false Christ being the son of perdition, 2 Thessalonians 2:3-12, with two horns. The two horns represent the Old Roman Empire that received its deadly wound back in 1798 by General Berthier who made his entrance into Rome and abolished the Roman government and established a secular one. That caused them to scatter into the other ten nations (ten horns). The wound was healed in 1929 by Mussolini.

God speaks to us in scripture of a 3 1/2 year tribulation during the time of the seventh trumpet sounding, not a seven year tribulation, as being time, times and half time which equals 1260 days = 3 ½ years or 3 ½ Times – Hebrew calendar only had 30 days for each month and this is where you get 1260 days or 3 ½ years.
[Scripture reference]
Revelation 12:14; Daniel 7:25; Daniel 12:7
1260 days – Revelation 11:3; Revelation 12:6
42 months – Revelation 11:2; Revelation 13:5

No where in scripture does it mention a seven year tribulation, but only seven trumpets of God's feirce wrath as scripture says we will always have tribulations as the last time will be such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be, Matthew 24:21; Deut 4:30; 7:19; 29:1-6; 1 Samuel 26:24; Matthew; John 16:33; Romans 12:12; 24:21; James 1:2; 1 Peter 1:6.

Below is that of the seven remaining nations described as four beasts in Daniel 7:1-8 and the three kingdoms that were subdued by the little horn, which is the Roman Empire.

The three kingdoms that were subdued by the little horn of Daniel 7:24 are the Heruli, Vandals, and Ostrogoths who were eliminated by the year 538 AD under the leadership of the Eastern Roman Emperor Justinian whose deadly wound came in 1798.

Seven remaining nations that still exist today:

Babylonian Empire:
(Iraq) The lion represents the winged lions that guarded the royal places of Babylon. This Empire ran from 2000BC - 1759BC

Medo – Persian Empire:
(Iran) The ribs of the bear are part of the consuming greed that devours the first empire.

Grecian Empire:
(Greece, Turkey, Syria, Egypt) Four wings of the leopard described the swiftness of this empire that ran from 334-331BC. It wrestled world dominion from Medo-Persia. After the death of Alexander the Great the kingdom was divided into four minor kingdoms that continued as prominent factors in world politics until the Roman Empire gathered it back as one kingdom.

Roman Empire: (little horn, Daniel 8:9-14, 23-27)
Iron represents the stronghold this nation had. Daniel chapter 2 mentions the iron element of this empire that it to will be divided and broken as God will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed.
This Empire ran from 753BC -27BC

The seven heads are that of the Babylonian Empire, Medo/Persian Empire, Grecian Empire and Roman Empire. The ten horns represent the nations the Roman Empire scattered to when the deadly wound was put upon them, Daniel 7:23-25; Rev 13:3. The deadly wound came in 1798 when General Berthier of France, who made his entrance into Rome, abolished the Roman government and established a secular one and captured Pope Pius VI, who soon died in captivity in Valence, on August 29, 1799. In 1801 Napoleon made an agreement with Pope Pius II establishing Napoleon’s Organic Articles of granting the Tribunal and the Corps legislative partial control of the concordat in order to help the state monitor any politically harmful Catholic or Protestant movements or activities. The wound was largely healed in 1929 when Mussolini gave the Vatican back to Pope Pius XI and established it as a country in it's own right in the Lateran Treaty.

The Roman Empire began in 753BC by Romulus who founded Rome in 27BC with Augustus Caesar becoming the first emperor of Rome in 27 BC and died in 14AD. Rome controlled over two million square miles stretching from the Rhine River to Egypt and from Britain (England) to Asia Minor which made up the Grecian Empire of Greece, Turkey, Syria and Egypt. In 146BC the Romans destroyed Corinth during the Battle of Corinth and made the Greece Empire into a province of the Roman Empire. This timeline goes from 753BC to 27BC. Nero burned Rome in 64AD and blamed the Christian community in the city causing the Roman Empires first persecution of Christians. In 1453 was the rise of the Ottoman Empire that conquered Constantinople destroying the Byzantine Empire (Eastern Roman Empire) that reigned from 330AD to 1453AD. The Roman Empire was then called the Holy Roman Empire that was a political entity beginning in 800AD - 1806AD from the time of Charlemagne (Holy Roman Emperor) who protected Pope Leo III from Adrian's supporters in Rome to Francis II, King of France. Pope Pius VII was the Pope from 1800-1823. The Roman Empire is known today as Vatican City, a city-state surrounded by Rome in Italy who has diplomatic relations with every nation around the world.

The crowns on its heads show that this dragon claims royal authority against the true King who is God of all creation as he prepares to take his seat above all that which is Gods Kingdom claiming he is God as he prepares to deceive the world through that of an existing Roman Empire, Daniel 8:9-12; Isaiah 14:12-15.

The beast rises up out of the sea, Rev 13, as the sea here is symbolic of people and nations as in a sea of humanity, Daniel Chapter 7:1-8; Revelation 17:15. The seven heads are that of the Babylonian Empire, Medo/Persian Empire, Grecian Empire and Roman Empire. The ten horns/nations represent the nations the Roman Empire scattered to when the deadly wound was put upon them, Daniel 7:15-28.

These ten nations were the Anglo-Saxons (Germans in Great Britain), the Franks (French), Suevi (Portuguese), Visigoths (Spanish), Burgundians (Swiss), Alemanni (Germans), Lombards (Italians), Ostrogoths, Heruli, and the Vandals in northern Africa. The last three being Ostrogoths, Heruli, and the Vandals had already been destroyed by the Roman Empire before their deadly wound came in 1798.

The beast out of the earth, Rev 13:11-18, is the revived Roman Empire (mystery Babylon, Rev 17:5) which causes man to take its mark. Daniel 7:25 and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, He will think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time, 2 Thessalonians 2:13-12.


The ten horns are ten kings who have not yet received their kingdoms as the Vatican's New World Order Headquarters and the United Nations Organization, One Security Council that claims authority over the world are waiting for ten permanent members. In 2009 the UNO divided the world into ten economic regions and each one will have a Jesuit Provincial set over them, but their end will come with the glory of the Lord striking them down when He returns with us His army. (Will study more about the army in Rev 19)
Ten Kingdoms of a One World Government:
Kingdom 1: Canada, Mexico and the United States of America
Kingdom 2: European Union – Western Europe
Kingdom 3: Japan
Kingdom 4: Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Israel and Pacific Islands
Kingdom 5: Eastern Europe
Kingdom 6: Latin America, Central and South America
Kingdom 7: North Africa and the Middle East
Kingdom 8: Central Africa
Kingdom 9: South and Southeast Asia
Kingdom 10: Central Asia

 

[Alfred Persson]

How do you interpret Satan casting his angels down to earth before Christ was born? This is separate from the war in heaven.

4 His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born.
5 She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God and His throne.
6 Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days.


7 And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought,
8 but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer.
9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, "Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down.
(Rev. 12:4-10 NKJ)

 

[for_his_glory]

As long as Jesus is sitting at the right hand of God, Satan still has limited access to the heavenly realm of God accusing the brethren before Him as Jesus makes intercession for us, Rev 12:10. Until Satan's final judgement he is still the prince of this world, John 14:30, and still has restricted access to the heavenly realm as we read in 2 Chronicles 18:18-21 and Job 1:6, 7, until the war in heaven towards the end of days between Michael and his angels and Satan and his angels when Satan will have no more access to the heavenly realm and will be cast into the lake of fire, never to reign terror on God's children anymore.

Satan was created perfect in all his ways with beauty, wisdom and freewill. God placed him as one of the two guardian cherubs covering the atonement cover of the ark in the tabernacle of God in heaven. He was entrusted with many possessions and found much favor in the Lord, Ezekiel 28:14, 15. The physical Tabernacle or Sanctuary in Jerusalem was patterned after the heavenly Tabernacle of God in heaven, Hebrews 9:1-5, 23,24; Exodus 25:17-22; 1 Kings 6:19-28. These scriptures describe the cherubim in the earthly Temple patterned after the heavenly. Ezekiel 28:12-15 identifies an angelic being who is called the anointed cherub who covers and he was on the holy mountain of God. We can only assume that Lucifer/Satan was one of the cherubs by the description in those scripture.

God created the earth and saw that it was good and he took Lucifer from Gods Holy Mountain and set him over the Garden of Eden as a covering cherub to watch over and enjoy all that was of God. As Lucifer was set in the garden iniquity was soon found in him as he defiled Gods sanctuary through pride in his own beauty and deceit as he wanted all that was of Gods here on earth to be his own as he tried to make his throne above the angels and be God.

Because iniquity was found in him God cast him and those angels who chose to follow him out of his holy mountain and cast them all down to earth to be trampled of all nations. The only reference in scripture that denotes there being one third of the angels falling with Satan is in Revelation 12:9.
(Ref: Read Isaiah 14:12-15; Ezekiel Chapter 28 Prince of Tyrus – another dual referent)

Satan was cast down to the earth and became the ruler of iniquity over it before the creation of man which is why he had the power and right to give the kingdoms of the world over to Christ. Satan corrupted the nations until there was no righteous person found except Noah. Even after Satan was cast down to the ground he still vowed that he would ascend back into heaven and take his place on the throne and be like the most high.

Remember, Satan is a spirit and not flesh and blood so when he was cut down to the ground it was not literal, but symbolic that his so called kingdom would be that of a lesser magnitude than Gods kingdom. Satan is the total opposite of the love that God represents so whatever good that God does Satan does the opposite. For instance we know that the greatest commandment of God is to love and our commission is to take his word out into the world. Our service is to feed the hungry, cloth the naked, visit the sick and those in prison. Prison can be a literal prison or those who are imprisoned in mind by their own devastations of life circumstances that engulfs them.

Since Satan is known as the god of this world and the prince of the powers of the air he has access to the throne of God to accuse the saints of God as Jesus makes intercession for them. Satan has no authority in heaven as he lost that privilege, but was cut down to earth and through his hatred and anger of God now uses his deceit to separate man from God by stealing the word of God from them thus stealing their faith in God.

 

[Mungo]

There are many takes on who the number 666 represents, but we can agree it will definitely be a man that Satan works through.

Here is my understanding of Rev 13 and the number 666.

When reading Rev 13 about the beast out of the sea who gives power to the beast out of the earth this beast out of the earth is the false prophet, son of perdition, last antichrist, 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12. Scripture never speaks about just one antichrist and never with a capital "A", but that there have been many and the last one will come to deceive those who have no truth found in them, 1 John 2:18.

His number 666 can easily be worked out from his many titles, one of which is ‘Vicarius Filii Dei’ meaning ‘in the place of God.’ Indeed' the pope has taken the place and name of God by calling himself ‘holy father’.

‘Vicarius Filii Dei’ is not and never has been a title of the Pope.
7th Day Adventists love to claim it is because it comes to 666.

 

[Mungo]

These ten nations were the Anglo-Saxons (Germans in Great Britain), the Franks (French), Suevi (Portuguese), Visigoths (Spanish), Burgundians (Swiss), Alemanni (Germans), Lombards (Italians), Ostrogoths, Heruli, and the Vandals in northern Africa.

The Anglo-Saxons established themselves in England (not Great Britain) the Rpman legions left England in 407. At the time, and later, there were several kingdoms in England. After the Romans Legions left England in 407 England was invaded by Pagans such as the Picts (from Scotland) and the Saxons (from Germany), followed by the Angles, the Jutes and later the Vikings. Unfortunately the truth doesn't fit the 10 horns theory.

 

[Alfred Persson]

His number 666 can easily be worked out from his many titles, one of which is ‘Vicarius Filii Dei’ meaning ‘in the place of God.’ Indeed' the pope has taken the place and name of God by calling himself ‘holy father’.

The pope can't be the antichrist because he will be a Jewish (tribe of Dan) Christian an Assyrian from ancient Nineveh (near Mosul, Iraq):

Son of destruction (2 Thess. 2:3) Son of Belial from ancient Nineveh

There is one come out of thee [Nah. 1:1 Nineveh], that imagineth evil against the LORD, a wicked (01100 בְּלִיַּעַל beliya`al) counsellor (03289 יָעַץ ya`ats). (Nah. 1:11 KJV)


25 That I will break the Assyrian in My land, And on My mountains tread him underfoot. Then his yoke shall be removed from them, And his burden removed from their shoulders.
26 This is the purpose that is purposed against the whole earth, And this is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations.
27 For the LORD of hosts has purposed, And who will annul it? His hand is stretched out, And who will turn it back?” (Isa. 14:25-27 NKJ)


He likely rises up in Modern Turkey near the ancient city of Antioch.

Unless that can be said of a pope, the Antichrist will not be the pope. Moreover, the Antichrist denies and Father and the Son, Catholic popes don't do that.


Adonikam AKA "the Assyrian" (Mic. 5:5-6; Isa. 14:25-27) is also called the "King of the North" (Dan. 11:36-12:1), he is the "Prince to come" (Dan. 9:26-27) "Man of Sin" (2 Thess. 2:3) "False Christ" (Mat. 24:5, 24; Mk. 13:22) who covenants with Israel for 3.5 years but at mid-week becomes "the Desolator" (Dan. 8:13; 9:27; 12:11) "King of fierce countenance" (Dan. 8:23) "Son of Destruction" meaning he'll be a Christian Jew like Judas (2 Thess. 2:3; Jn. 17:12) "serpent by the way, adder that biteth" (Gen. 49:17) who becomes Big Mouth morphing from "Chancellor" "Man of Sin" to Emperor extraterrestrial "god" at midweek (Rev. 13:5-8; Dan. 7:20, 25; 9:27) hoping to change times and law by blaspheming God as an Extraterrestrial who can be defeated with the aid of the Dragon "God of forces" (Rev. 16:13-14; Dan. 11:38-39; Dan. 9:27), "that Wicked" (2 Thess. 2:8) "the Deceiver" "the Antichrist" denying the Father and the Son (1 Jn. 2:18, 22; 4:3; 2 Jn. 1:7)

Adonikam AKA "the Assyrian" (Mic. 5:5-6; Isa. 14:25-27) is also called the "King of the North" (Dan. 11:36-12:1), he is the "Prince to come" (Dan. 9:26-27) "Man of Sin" (2 Thess. 2:3) "False Christ" (Mat. 24:5, 24; Mk. 13:22) who covenants with Israel for 3.5 years but at mid-week becomes "the Desolator" (Dan. 8:13; 9:27; 12:11) "King of fierce countenance" (Dan. 8:23) "Son of Destruction" meaning he'll be a Christian Jew like Judas (2 Thess. 2:3; Jn. 17:12) "serpent by the way, adder that biteth" (Gen. 49:17) who becomes Big Mouth morphing from "Chancellor" "Man of Sin" to Emperor extraterrestrial "god" at midweek (Rev. 13:5-8; Dan. 7:20, 25; 9:27) hoping to change times and law by blaspheming God as an Extraterrestrial who can be defeated with the aid of the Dragon "God of forces" (Rev. 16:13-14; Dan. 11:38-39; Dan. 9:27), "that Wicked" (2 Thess. 2:8) "the Deceiver" "the Antichrist" denying the Father and the Son (1 Jn. 2:18, 22; 4:3; 2 Jn. 1:7)

The Antichrist: His Names Titles and Descriptions

I can respect your understanding even though I can not agree with it.

Nahum 1:1-15 is about God's wrath against Nineveh, but can also be related to the end of days during the sounding of the seven trumpets, the wickedness of the son of perdition (mystery Babylon) taking his seat in Jerusalem and that of this present heaven and earth passing away as all will be made new again.

The one that comes out of thee are those in Nineveh that are the worst oppressors of God. Nahum shows us that the destruction of Nineveh and Assyria are examples of how God works in history and every age as we will see in the end of days when Christ returns and destroys the enemies of God once and for all.

‘Vicarius Filii Dei’ is not and never has been a title of the Pope.
7th Day Adventists love to claim it is because it comes to 666.

I did not get this from the 7th Day Adventist, but straight from a Catholic source.

This is a phrase first used in the forged medieval Donation of Constantine to refer to the Apostle Peter who Catholics claim to be the first Pope. It has been used for every Pope.

 

[for_his_glory]

The Anglo-Saxons established themselves in England (not Great Britain) the Rpman legions left England in 407. At the time, and later, there were several kingdoms in England. After the Romans Legions left England in 407 England was invaded by Pagans such as the Picts (from Scotland) and the Saxons (from Germany), followed by the Angles, the Jutes and later the Vikings. Unfortunately the truth doesn't fit the 10 horns theory.

Great Britain is a political term for part of the United Kingdom made up of England, Scotland and Wales. The United Kingdom can be traced to the time of the Anglo-Saxon king Athelstan who in the early 10th century secured the allegiance of neighboring Celtic kingdoms and became the first to rule what previously many kings shared between them. The people who lived in Britain before the Romans arrived are known as the Celts.

The political union joined the kingdoms of England and Scotland happened in 1707 when the Acts of Union ratified the 1706 Treaty Union and merged the parliaments of the two nations forming the Kingdom of Great Britain which covered the whole island. England was called Albion around the 4th century before the Romans settled there in 55BC.

I respect that also, interpretation of prophecy is so subjective.

Just compare the commentaries on the book of Revelation, all written by top notch scholars schooled in the best hermeneutics, and notice how rarely they agree with each other.

I think elements of it have dual fulfillment, in the past and the end time, because it seems to reference Christ and the final judgment result:

Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace! O Judah, keep thy solemn feasts, perform thy vows: for the wicked shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off. (Nah. 1:15 KJV)

Can you provide any evidence from an authentic Catholic Church document that a Pope has ever claimed this as a title?

How is that anything to do with the ten horns of Daniel?

I'm not saying either one of us are right or wrong, but just like you I am giving my understanding in how I study the history.

Prophecy takes a very deep study starting with what the Prophets wrote, history that I see repeating itself in the end of days, cross referencing and the culture of the different eras throughout the centuries.

I already explained that in post #4.

You have already admitted that the Donation of Constantine is a forgery and therefore not evidence of anything.
Also, even if it were not, it would be an Imperial document not a Church one.

That's not how a discussion works. You make a claim - you provide the evidence.
I assume from your lack of evidence that you have none.
