How does 666 fit into a upcoming Antichrist.
The Son of Perdition?
“How does 666 fit into a upcoming Antichrist.”
John gave us a clue as to how to correctly identify him by adding up the letters in his name. You see the Greeks didn’t have numbers (0-9) back then they used letters. So, to find out the number of the beast you just add up the letters in his name, of course you have to convert it to Greek first or at least convert the sounds to match the Greek letters.
Some examples by Iranaeus (Against Heresies Book 5.30.3): Evanthas, Lateinos, & Teitan.
Each one when converted to Greek sounds adds up to 666.
