The Book of Revelations clearly details how to recognize the Anti-Christ. Let's see if Bill stacks up.....
The anti-Christ will be known and marked with the number of the beast, 666.
Bill Gates full name is William Henry Gates III. If you take the letters in Bill Gates III and then convert them into ASCII computer code, (the American standard code) and add up all the numbers, the sum equals six hundred and sixty six, or...666. Now I believe everyone knows what that number signifies. It is the number of the beast.
Bill has passed the first test. He is known by the mark of the beast, 666.
Adding more evidence: If you convert Microsoft Windows 95 with the same code you wind up with the same number, 666. Want more..... Also MS-DOS 6.31 operating system also adds up to 666. See the pattern here?
The Bible clearly states in the Book of Revelations that the anti-Christ would be someone very powerful that would rise up, add followers by the droves, and lead us all into the beginning to the end of the world.
Let's break this down. First, who has this kind of power? Bill Gates does. More than 85% of all computers in the world today run on either windows or DOS software programs owned by Microsoft and Gates. Even the military and Pentagon computers are running windows.
For argument sake let's say a virus was embedded into every computer program created by Microsoft. Say this virus with the stroke of a single key, can activate itself and cause the military computers of the world to initiate a first strike nuclear event triggering a nuclear world war.
Or a command prompt causing mathematical errors in the banking, stock markets, and financial centers of the world. Panic and riots would erupt. What if Gates could do all this right from his home deep in the secluded and well protected hills of Montana.
Certainly, if this were true, than Gates would possess great power as the Book Of Revelations warned us about. Sound incredulous? Impossible? Well, just remember, by using your Internet explorer browser, owned by Microsoft, which more than likely you are viewing this very page on IE, or are running a Microsoft program, you are allowing it to copy and learn little bits and pieces of information about you and it is put in a vast database. This happens every time you log on.
The second part says that the anti-Christ would rise up and add followers by the droves. Looking at Microsoft, Bill started his company with just a few employees and rose up in a very short time to become the leader in computer software. He is one of the richest men in the world right now. And with money, comes power, and corruption soon to follow. Millions of applications of Microsoft software are being sold every day. An average of 68,000 brand new users log onto the Internet each and every day with most of them running Microsoft software. I would call that adding followers by the droves.
Let's move on. The Bible says that the damned one will force everyone, young and old, small and large, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his hand or on his forehead so that no one can buy, sell, and trade in the temple unless he has the mark, which is the mark of the beast or the number of his name.
So, what does this mean? Let's begin with the Internet. Isn't the Internet becoming the preferred practice of doing business? Just about every major business is now connected to the world wide web. Big deal right? So, how do we get the sign of the beast from the net? Notice that the Internet is referred to as the world wide web, or WWW. We begin our search on the Internet by typing in our explorer browser www.anyaddress.com. WWW. Before the English translation, the letter W was written as VI. So, WWW in the past was written VIVIVI. Isn't VI the Roman numeral for 6? VIVIVI is 666 for it is spaced where other numeral symbols would not be added.
The world economy is using the Internet as a linkup to combine and join all businesses world wide. In just a few years, it will become impossible for large corporations to conduct business without a linkup to the Internet. Small businesses will be soon to follow. Again, Microsoft owns most of the operating software and technology for today's business almost to the point of being a monopoly. In fact, Microsoft has been in court for months defending it's strong hold on it's software sales.
OK, OK, you say, yes these things can be all true, but how in the world do you explain the mark of the beast on your hand or forehead? Good question. Ready for the answer? Let's refresh shall we. The Bible says that the mark of the beast will be on one's hand or forehead and will be needed to conduct business.
Aren't we all starting to carry around cell phones? Hold the phone up to your ear to speak. Using it to cancel or add a meeting. Set up an appointment? Schedule an interview? Aren't we all starting to carry laptop computers because all our info is stored on them and it would be impossible to conduct business without it.
Here's the kicker. The mouse and the monitor. Couldn't the mouse be the mark on the hand? After all, without the mouse, the computer is just an expensive paper weight. The monitor, which is forehead high, could be the mark on the forehead. When this was written, man at the time would not have been able to comprehend computers and technology. It would have to be described in a simpler form, like a mark on the hand and forehead.
Are all the pieces of the puzzle starting to fall into place?
We are just now entering the dawn of a new millennium, the third millennium, the number of man.
With all these warnings, the Grassy Knoll Institute wonders why we don't heed the warnings of the Book Of Revelations. It's a very good Book. You should read it sometime. It may just save your soul.
Perhaps....
