Are you saying that all non catholics are the anti-christs?

I suggest you draw your own conclusions. I'm just pointing out, in a very speculative way, the interesting fact that Revelation identifies 6:66 with the mark of the beast, and Gospel of John 6:66 is a reference to those who reject Christ when He told them to eat His body.

Also, in Exodus, the Angel of Death passed those houses which not only had Lamb's blood on the door, but in which the family, as instructed, ate the lamb. Those who opposed to the Hebrews, the Egyptians (anti-Hebrews, so to speak), were not spared their firstborns. Of course the crucified Christ is the lamb of the New Covenant, and in Revelation, in the second coming, He returns in the form of the slaughtered lamb who is the only one worthy to open the final seal.

What are the implications?

I’ve wondered the same as you about the John 6:66 verse.

Could be right about it (though I don’t see it as those rejecting the eucharist, but rather rejecting His salvation (this body which is broken for you, this blood which is shed.....eat and drink meaning to partake of the salvation and deliverance of Jesus Christ, being born again, born of the Spirit).

I realize I am coming late to this thread, but I could not let this one go by unmarked. The verse assignments in the New Testament were made in the Sixteenth century by a Protestant scholar named William Whittingham. It follows that they are a modern imposition on the text and can have no doctrinal significance whatsoever.
