Here's a list of candidates currently being considered by the "prophecy-watchers." It includes some names already submitted to this thread (Bill Gates, Bill Clinton, Prince Charles, Barney the Dinosaur), but includes some rather unexpected ones as well:
William Jefferson Clinton
A number of folks have e-mailed me saying "Clinton is Satan's pet." I came across information posted in newsgroups and web sites that add up William Jefferson Clinton numerologically to get 666.
Sam Donaldson of ABC News
I've have had so many people submit Donaldson's name that I finally decided to add him to the list. By including Sam, I hope I don't cause any jealousy at ABC News.
Barney the Dinosaur
Because John, the writer of Revelation, would have never known what a dinosaur looked like, it's logical to assume he would have identified any vision of Barney as being a dragon. With this taken into
consideration, you might find the following scriptures quite revealing:
Revelation 12:3, "And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon..,"
Revelation 13:4, "And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?"
Revelation 20:2, "And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years."
Bill Gates
If the Beast needs to be computer literate and financially well-off, then Bill Gates would be a good candidate.
Prince Charles of Wales
I'm told old big ears Prince Charles could be the beast. Charles has the familiar numerology claims made about him - ones were his name equals 666. He is believed to have ancestral links to the Roman Empire. It was also reported to me that he's a vegetarian, which could explain why the Antichrist will stop the daily animal sacrifices in the Jewish Temple.
Uday Hussein
In case the old man is not up to the job. Uday Hussein, the son of Saddam Hussein, could someday succeed his father and gain the attention of Iraqi prophecy watchers. Uday was recently wounded in
an assassination attempt. He's also known to be more brutal than his father, preferring to use his bare hands to beat his opponents to death, while dad uses a baseball bat.
Jacques Chirac French President
Jacques Chirac has been involved with a flurry of diplomatic activity. His high profile has caught the attention of several prophecy watchers.
Assad of Syria
As long as there's no height requirement for being the Antichrist, Assad of Syria could possibly be the Beast. This guy is so bothered by his lack of stature, whenever he meets with foreign leaders he'll only talk with them sitting down. Note that Paul in 2 Thes 2:4 says that the Antichrist sit in the Temple of God declaring himself to be God. He's sitting because he doesn't want the world to know he's a little shrimp.
