It's common knowledge amongst those who have wisdom. Unless of course your alphabetic to numeric converter is based on ascii, then Bill Gates III would be the anti Christ. "666", The Number of the Beast, Revelations, 13:18 Called a "Man": meaning, possibly, a set of Men, or, an Institution headed by a Man or set of Men. It seems to mean a Name, the letters of which, when regarded as numerals, total 666. Irenaeus, a pupil of Polycarp, who was a pupil of John, understood the 666 to be the Greek word "Lateinos": L,30: A,1: T,300: E,5: I,10: N,50: O,70: S,200. These total 666. "Lateinos" means "Latin Kingdom". Papal Rome made Latin it's official language. And it still is. Rome's canons, missals, prayers, decrees, bulls, blessings, cursings, are in LATIN. from Halley's Bible Handbook, p. 726 Just for fun... I thought you would find this interesting with regard to the "Y2K" year 2000 doomsday soothsayers.... Did you know that Bill Gates' real name is William Henry Gates III? Nowadays, he is known as Bill Gates (III) where III means the order of third. So what's so eerie about this name? Well, if you take all the letters in Bill Gates III and then convert it into ASCII code (American Standard Code for Info. Interchange) and then add up all the numbers.... you will get 666, which is the number of the beast. B = 66 I = 73 L = 76 L = 76 G = 71 A = 65 T = 84 E = 69 S = 83 I = 1 I = 1 I = 1 Add these numbers and they equal 666. Coincidence? Perhaps....
