Overview
I published ‘The One World Government’ in 2020 some 90 plus pages. Not conducive for a quick 10-minute read on
the Internet. So I’ve divide it into a few manageable ‘Short Papers’, also
revising some of my earlier work. Below I’ve given you the links to ALL
the related ‘Short Papers’ on the “OWG”.. The One World Government Study. This basically gives
you an index. The first four
from the Futurist View (FV). The rest are from the Historical View (HV)!

Revision
In the talks entitled; OWG1 FV - The Origin Of The One World Government, I used the Futurist View to look at where the idea of a future One World Government came from, along with other important building blocks needed to formulate this study. In OWG2 FV - The Ten Toes, Horns Or Kings I explained the meanings of the Ten Toes, Horns Or Kings. In OWG3 FV - The Little Horn Dan 7 I examined the prophecies regarding the Little Horn. In OWG4 FV - The Time of the End I examined the prophecies regarding the Little Horn ie, the future antichrist and the final end of ‘The One World Government’. In OWG5 HV - The Historical View Reasoning we examined Why Do Historicists Think The Way they do? Mainly because of the differences in how they interpret some key scriptures. In OWG6 HV - The “Ten, Toes, Horns, Kings” we covered a lot of ground in Daniel 2. The ten kingdoms, they CAN NOT Unite, the ‘Stone Kingdom and finally the Beast of Dan 7. In OWG7 HV - [9] Characteristics of The Little Horn Daniel 7, we examine Nine Characteristics of the Little Horn in Daniel 7 that we can use to identify the antichrist. In OWG8 HV - Who Are The Saints Who Topple The Antichrist? I showed you that God has an earthly team He uses to destroy the antichrist. And is active through Daniel and parts of Revelation. In OWG9 HV - The Revelation, Heads, Horns and Crowns, I proved to you that the Revelation is in Three Parts. Giving us a conformation of God’s BIG Plan, using the Three Witnesses principal!
Aim
In this talk OWG10 HV - The Ten Horned Beast of Rev 13 I will show you some plausible fulfilment the of Ten Horns, the
Two Horns, the ‘image of the beast’ and the 666.
Historical View- OWG10 HV - The Ten Horned Beast of Rev 13
NB: The ‘One World Government’ should
show up in this chapter, because we have the antichrist and the ‘Ten Kings’ all
together at the same time! Revelation 13 represents the period of history from
the fall of Imperial Rome, through the rise of the papal Roman Empire to its
peak in 1866. How do we identify in history the start point of this scripture?
Let’s look at Revelation 13:1 “And
I stood on the sand of the sea, and I saw a beast coming up out
of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns. And on its
horns were ten crowns, and on its heads was the name of blasphemy.” It’s a new beast, it comes up out of the
sea, and some scholars say the interpretation is it has risen from amongst the
‘sea’ of people, after conflict. The clear change is the ‘crowns’, they
have moved from the heads to the horns! So what does that represent in the
natural world? The heads represented the various forms of the Roman government
that ruled the empire over the centuries. Rome’s rulers were, kings, emperors,
tribunes, dictators and so forth, but always based in Rome. But from 476AD
onward, as we have seen from the historical maps the ‘Ten Kings’ of Europe
grabbed and divided the rulership of the western empire. They now had the
‘crowns’ and they now had the rule. So we can agree that Rev 13 historically
starts from about 476AD.
This is a different beast but a very similar structure so it must still
represent the Roman World. But it is a conglomerate of three; it’s a ‘mixed
beasts’? Rev 13:2 “And the
beast which I saw was like a leopard, and its feet like
..a bear, and its mouth like the mouth of a lion. And the
dragon gave him its power and its seat and great authority.” [Ref CN by Popular New Testament on Rev 13:2] “..The three animals, the leopard, the bear,
and the lion, some of whose parts it possessed, are the first three ‘great
beasts’ of Dan 7:4-6, although they are here introduced in a different
order, and are combined into one. The qualities represented are the most
offensive of their kind, the swift cruel spring of the leopard, the brutish
relentlessness of the bear, and the devouring power of the lion.” The beasts were
also given to Daniel to represent the three powers that were to rule the world
in succession, namely Babylon, Media-Persia and Greece. But also bear in mind
that the Roman Empire just before the year 476AD covered those same three
regions, so incorporating those three beasts. I find that quite significant.
Then the dragon gives the ‘mixed
beasts’ his power his seat
and great authority? We will get to how that was historical achieved later.
What indicates the transition from pagan to papal Rome, namely the rise
of the papal power? Rev 13:3 “And
I saw one of its heads as having been slain to death, and its deadly
wound was healed. And all the earth marveled after the beast.” What happened in history to fulfil this
verse? You can Google, “the last Roman Emperor” and you will find he
was, “Romulus Augustulus”.
On 4 Sep. 476 he was
deposed by Odoacer and exiled from Rome. That
represents the Head, “having been slain to death”; it represented the
final end of the imperial Roman system in the west. The symbolism is that the
governmental head was ‘Lopped off’. Immediately following this we have, ‘and its deadly wound was healed. And
all the earth marveled after the beast.’ What does that represent? It just so happened only 57 years later we
reach the year 533AD. Earlier we covered what happened that year under the
heading, ‘1: - There Came Up Among Them Another Little Horn’.
Let’s recap: - 533 The Decrees of Justinian. A short extract: -
"that the elder Rome was the
founder of the laws; so was it not to be questioned that in her was the
supremacy of the pontificate." In the 131st; chap. II, on the
ecclesiastical titles and privileges it states: "We therefore decree
that the most holy Pope of the elder Rome is the first of all the priesthood.”
This act by Emperor Justinian in the East fulfilled four things.
And remember the pagan Roman Empire was in two parts, the Eastern and Western
Empires. The west collapsed in 476, but the Eastern, the Imperial dragon, was
now Christian but still the old dragon Empire structure, it still existed under
Justinian. Also remember the bit I said I would get back to; verse 2 “..And the dragon gave him its
power and its seat and great authority.” The deadly wound of the beast of Rev 13 was
healed! The west now had a new figurehead, ‘The POPE”, the head of
all the churches. And this new head received its power,
its seat and its authority directly from the old Eastern “dragon”.
The power of the “New Head” of the beast, the pope, soon became
so powerful that the following was inevitable! It’s no wonder as in verse 2 the
western world proclaimed, “..And
all the earth marvelled after the beast. :4 “And they
worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast. And they
worshiped the beast, saying, Who is like the beast? Who is able
to make war with it?”
Worship of the dragon and the beast means what? The dragon, the old Roman system
originally worshiped false deities. So what would this passage signify as
happening in the western Christian world? [Ref HCC Vol. 3. Ch. 07. p 087] “The first clear traces of the worship
of relics appear in the second century in the church of Antioch, where
the bones of the bishop and martyr Ignatius († 107) were preserved as a
priceless treasure; and in Smyrna, where the half-burnt bones of Polycarp
(† 167) were considered “more precious than the richest jewels and more
tried than gold.” Also [Ref HCC
Vol. 4 Ch. 10 p. 96] “The
Worship of Saints, handed down from the Nicene age, (which stated 325),
was a Christian substitute for heathen idolatry and hero-worship,
and well suited to the taste and antecedents of the barbarian races, but was
equally popular among the cultivated Greeks.” Both the western and the eastern ‘Christian’ empires very quickly
reverted back to false gods, using relics and saints as mediators to reach God.
And we’ve seen earlier from the blasphemous claims of the pope, the western or
Latin Empire soon worshiped the pope. “They indirectly worshiped the dragon!
And they worshiped the beast.”
If there were a possibility of a ‘One World Government’
in the Historical interpretation, it would have to be in this period of
time in history. Verse 4 “ …Who is able to make war with it, (the
beast)?” The pope’s eventually had
such great authority and power over the ‘Ten Kings’ of Europe that none in
Europe would dear to challenge him much less think of making war against him.
If you as king didn’t bow to the pope, he would simply tell the inhabitants of
your realm, “don’t pay taxes to your ungodly king!” The reformers tried
to stand up to him, and were horribly manicured, [Ref FoxBM].
Rev 13:5-10 are virtually a recap of what we extensively covered above in, ‘OWG7 HV - [9] Characteristics of The
Little Horn Daniel 7’. So I
will just skim through these verses so that it will jog your memory. Rev
13:5 “..mouth speaking great
things ..and blasphemies ..authority ..to continue forty-two
months. :6 ..blasphemy toward God ..His name ..His tabernacle ..those
dwelling in Heaven. :7 ..given ..to war with the saints ..overcome them
..authority ..over every tribe ..tongue ..nation. :8 ..all ..on ..earth
..worship it, who is ..not ..written in the Book of Life.. Rev 13:9 If
anyone has an ear, let him hear. :10 He who leads into captivity will
go into captivity. If anyone will kill with the sword, he must be killed by a
sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.” As you can see this blasphemous career
of the popes was covered in Daniel chapter 7.
How
should we interpret this? I believe it comes under the category of God
determines the length of time that kingdoms rule. So the antichrist or the
beast, (and they seem to be one and the same now), will rule for a limited time
which is forty- two months or 3½ times or 1260 prophetic days which at ‘a-day-for-a-year’ is 1260 years of
fulfilled prophecy. So when did
it start? We covered this earlier under the heading, “9: -They Shall Be Given
Into His Hand Until A Time Times -Half Time.” In that section we looked at
three dates. 533, 538 and 606. And we then looked at the commentary by A. J. Ferris.
And he showed us that when you add 1260 years to each of those dates you get
some coincidently unique dates! They are: -
· 533 + 1260 = 1793 was start of the French revolution and the pope lost
his greatest supporter, the King of France.
· 538 + 1260 = 1798 was when the French military general Berthier
took the pope into military custody.
· 606 + 1260 = 1866 was when the pope finally lost his temporal power, as
seen in the Australian News Article.
So the antichrist reign is limited to 1260 literal years. After 1866 he
no longer has power over the saints of God.
This I will cover later when we get to Revelation 17. It is a fact of
history as we can see from FoxBM,
that the papal kingdoms at the behest of the popes waged war on various groups,
whom the popes branded as heretics, such as the Hussites, Waldensian,
Huguenots, Albigenses and a host of other poor souls.
We now have a second beast to think about, this one rises from the
earth, not the sea? Could be some significance, you can check the commentaries
yourself if you’re interested in that. Let’s look at the scriptures. Rev
13:11 “..I saw another beast
coming up out of the earth. ..it had two horns like a lamb
..he spoke like a dragon. :12 ..it exercises all the
authority of the first beast ..causes the earth ..to
worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.” Numerous commentaries suggest this second
beast of Rev 13:11 is also the pope in his ecclesiastical roll? [Ref CN by Matthew
Henry on Rev 13:11-18] “those that understand the first beast
of the secular power of the papacy take the second to intend its spiritual and
ecclesiastical powers,” I don’t
think so, remember this beast is later called the ‘false prophet’,
refer Rev 16:13, Rev 20:10 and Rev 19:20 “And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet
doing signs before it,” so
this second beast is recognized as a separate being. Refer to Adam
Clarke below, it is very informative. [Ref CN by Adam Clarke on Rev 13:11] “the
beast, here called another beast, is another Latin empire. This
beast is the spiritual Latin empire, or, in other words, the Romish hierarchy;
..In the time of Charlemagne the ecclesiastical power was in subjection to the
civil, and it continued to be so for a long time after his death; therefore the
beast, whose deadly wound was healed, ruled over the whole Latin world, both
clergy and laity; these, consequently, constituted but one beast or empire. But
the Latin clergy kept continually gaining more and more influence in the civil
affairs of the empire, and in the tenth century their authority was greatly
increased. In the subsequent centuries the power of the Romish hierarchy
ascended even above that of the emperors, and led into captivity the kings of
the whole Latin world, ..Thus the Romish hierarchy was at length entirely
exempted from the civil power, and constituted another beast, as it
became entirely independent of the secular Latin empire. And this beast
..raised their authority against that of the secular powers, and in process of
time wrested the superintendence of ecclesiastical affairs from the secular
princes.”
Also you can refer to A. J. Ferris and the link to his booklet entitled The Book of Revelation Pt 2 Ferris,
from pages 27-32. He gives you far more detail than I can hope to present to
you here. So this new beast is ‘the army’ of the catholic priesthood. Millions
of them, one in every little hamlet; each gathering information via the
confessional and filtering it back to ‘headquarters’. It was said that
during the Cold War the intelligence network of the Catholic Church far
outstripped that of the CIA. And as for the “two horns like a lamb”,
[Ref CN by A. J. Ferris
from the link above, page 28] “
..since Pope Gregory (598AD) the Archbishops and Bishops of Rome on taking
their vows of implicit obedience to the Papacy have been invested with a pallium
made out of specially blessed lambs wool as the evidence of
their authority. It is remarkable that the Bishop’s mitre used to be cleft from
front to back so that it looked like “two horns” and even still
has that appearance.” You could
also look at the two horns of the new beast, as being two distinct militant
forces within the catholic priesthood. My thought is that the ‘Jesuits’
and ‘the Inquisition priests’ represented the two horns. They were the
driving force behind the will of the pope.
We now have to figure out fact from fiction, what really happened or
what these verses imply. The superstitious records of the Dark
Ages are full of so called miracles achieved by the ‘false prophet’, the
catholic priesthood. Rev 13:13 “..it
does great wonders ..makes fire come down ..:14 ..it deceives
those ..on the earth ..that they should make an image to the beast
who had the wound.” [Ref
The Book of Revelation Pt 2 Ferris
page 28 p2] “Many faked miracles preformed by the priests ..such as winking, crying
and bleeding images of Mary and numerous saints. The priests were thus looked
upon with such awe and reverence that their ex-communications ..were
regarded as “fire from heaven” itself.” I hunted through some commentaries for you below and they are quite
enlightening.
[Ref CN by Adam Clarke on Revelation 13:13] “the fire
..the false prophet bringeth ..is the fiery indignation ..of the Latin empire
upon ..those ..who rebel against his authority. All this has been fulfilled in
the Romish hierarchy; the Latin clergy have denominated ..those that oppose
their authority heretics, they ..instituted tribunals to try ..heresy, ..those
that would not submit to their idolatry they ..condemned to ..tortures and
deaths. It is said ..he bringeth fire ..upon the earth; that is to say, he
will only try the cause of heresy, and pass the sentence ..he will not
..execute ..sentence..; the destroying fire ..the ..secular princes and
magistrates must execute the sentence of death upon all that are capitally
condemned by the spiritual power.”
[Ref CN by Albert Barnes on Revelation 13:13] “Amidst
the multitudes of pretended miracles of the papacy, it would probably not be
difficult to find instances in which the very thing here described was
attempted, in which various devices of pyrotechnics were shown off as
miracles.”
[Ref CN by Joseph Benson on Revelation
13:13-17] “Now miracles, visions, and
revelations, are the mighty boast of the Church of Rome; ..Even fire
is pretended to come down from heaven,
as in the case of St Anthony's Fire,
and other instances, cited by Brightman and other writers on the Revelation:
and in solemn excommunications, which are called the thunders of the church, and
are performed with the ceremony of casting down burning torches from on high,
as symbols and emblems of fire from heaven.
Miracles are thought so necessary, that they are reckoned among the notes of
the Catholic Church. But if these miracles were all real, we learn from hence
what opinion we ought to frame of them; and what then shall we say, if they are
all fictions and counterfeits? They are indeed so far from being any proofs of
the true church, that they are rather a proof of a false one; and, as we see, the
distinguishing mark of antichrist.”
[Ref CN by John
Gill on Revelation 13:13] “this may be understood mystically, of the
pretensions of the Papacy ..of fire, coming down from heaven; or of their
anathemas, curses, and excommunications, at which time burning torches and
candles are cast up, and fall down, as emblems of divine wrath, which
is called cursing men with bell, book, and
candle; or else of the fire of persecution: "from heaven"
..or this may be understood literally; so they tell us, that Pope Zachary, once
on a journey to Ravenna, had in the daytime a cloud to protect him from the
heat, and in the night time armies of fire appeared in the clouds to go
before him; and as Pope Innocent was at Mass, a golden crown was seen,
..on it a dove ..under it a smoking censer ..by them two burning firebrands:
and ..reported of Pope Hildebrand, that ..he could shake his sleeves, and
sparks of fire would come out .. other instances, are taken notice of
by Napier, Brightman, and other writers: ..so ..this is ..done "in the
sight of men" ..seemingly, in their view.”
Let’s first think about what that means. Let’s look at the scripture.
Rev 13:14 “ ..saying to those
dwelling on the earth that they should make an image to the beast who had
the wound by a sword and lived.” So he is speaking of the ‘Ten Horn’ beast of Rev 13, the one that had
the wound. Some of the scholars say this image refers to the pope. Symbolically
speaking the pope only represented the replacement ‘head’, not the whole beast,
(maybe? ..because the pope, or the antichrist, is later referred to as the
beast). The pope’s may have over the years had statues of themselves made, but
none of the statues TALKED as in verse 15! Let’s get off the idea of a physical
statue! But what did the beast represent? The beast was a spiritual symbol of
the Roman government, which functioned around the Roman senate, with
representative from all over the Roman world. You can refer to the commentaries
to see the different views they have. A. J. Ferris,
(Ref The Book of Revelation Pt 2 Ferris),
agrees with that concept that the image represented the ecumenical councils. Albert Barnes is close to this
idea. Joseph Benson
claims it is the pope. Others seem to flounder.
Consider: What was the Roman Empire like before 476AD. There was a
Roman senate and there were ‘Ten kingdoms’ under Roman jurisdiction as we have
seen above. What happened after the fall of Rome in 476? There were ‘Ten’ independent kingdoms with
no ‘Head’ to control or lead them, so it was a mass of infighting and land
grabs. Once the pope steps in, as ‘Head’ of the churches there was then
someone the ‘Ten’ kings could appeal to as an arbitrator. You can browse
through History
of The Christian Church by Philip
Schaff, available in e-Sword; and you will
find many incidence where the pope stepped in to ‘save the day’. The kings of
those days, even if they were Arian Christians, still seem to hold the ‘bishop
of Rome’ in awe! So let’s say the ecumenical or Latin councils represented the
‘image’. Then if you go to ACCH
you will find the various councils are marked with a circle. There was only one
recognised, as happening pre Constantine in 50AD, and it is not referred to as
the ‘First’ council. After Constantine they were a common occurrence; 325, 381,
431 and 451. After the fall in 476, the councils continued, and through these
councils the ‘Beast’ regained her ‘spirit’, by being given the
ability to both, ‘speak and dictate laws’. The next
verses tell you how.
Rev 13:15 “And there
was given to it to give a spirit to the image of the beast, so
that the image of the beast might both speak, and might
cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. :16 And
it causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to
receive a mark on their right hand, or in their foreheads, :17 even
that not any might buy or sell except those having the mark,
or the name of the beast, or the number of its name.” What is this ‘Mark’ in the right hand or in
the forehead? My darling wife and I had talked this over, on and off for years.
Some time back she went to a ladies meeting, and that question came up.
And mind you this group of ladies were all Futurist believing ladies. And she
said, “Well this mark of the beast happens in Revelation 13! But before that
happens, in Revelation 7:3 God puts a mark in the forehead of all the
Christians! So why bother looking for the ‘mark of the beast’ now? We
should wait until we see all the Christians with a mark in the forehead first?”
The ladies shook their heads in disbelief, they checked the scriptures, and
they all unanimously agreed, ‘well God’s mark can’t be a physical
mark! So why expect the mark of the beast to be a physical mark?’
Some people think ‘the Mark’ is a physical mark, a silicon chip or a barcode.
And these days with all the ‘Hoo-Har’ about,
· The ‘Covid-19’
vaccination is used as a delivery for some tracking device or,
· The
vaccination changes your DNA so you are no longer ‘made in the image of God’!
And because of those and other weird reasons your pastor tells you,
“DON’T TAKE THE VACCINE!” Come on now get real! If the government wants to keep
track of you; then you already have a mobile phone, bankcards and
maybe a passport they can use! And in China they already has a ‘public
facial recognition system’ to scan and monitor the populus. Have you never
watched the Jason Bourne
movies? There are many ways you can be tracked. And if you could change your
DNA with a simple injection, the criminal world would have found that out years
ago! So please check the following from Matthew Henry.
[Ref CN by Matthew Henry on Revelation 13:11-18] “It
is probable that the mark, the name, and the number
of the beast, may all signify the same thing - that they
make an open profession of their subjection and obedience to the papacy,
which is receiving the mark in their forehead, and that they
oblige themselves to use all their interest, power, and endeavour, to promote
the papal authority, which is receiving the mark in their right hands.
We are told that pope Martin V. in his bull, added to the council of Constance,
prohibits Roman Catholics from suffering any heretics to dwell in their
countries, or to make any bargains, use any trades, or bear any
civil offices, which is a very clear interpretation of this prophecy.” [Pope Martin V.
reigned 1417-31]. But much earlier in 1177 the Third Lateran
Council passed a law, article 27, which meant for those not in
the Church of Rome, You Can Not Buy Or Sell
Ref a copy of ‘The Third Lateran Council,’
article, “27. As St. Leo says, though the discipline of the church should be
satisfied with the judgment of the priest and should not cause the shedding of
blood, yet it is helped by the laws of catholic princes so that people often
seek a salutary remedy when they fear that a corporal punishment will overtake
them. For this reason, since in Gascony and the regions of Albi and Toulouse
and in other places the loathsome heresy of those whom some call
the Cathars, others the Patarenes, others the Publicani, and
others by different names, has grown so strong that they no longer practise
their wickedness in secret, as others do, but proclaim their error publicly and
draw the simple and weak to join them, we declare that they and their
defenders and those who receive them are under anathema, and we forbid under
pain of anathema that anyone should keep or support them in their houses or
lands or should trade with them.” So what does that mean to you
if you don’t believe the sales pitch of the Catholic Church? In other words
they call you a heretic! Therefore; “You cannot go to the town
market, and You Can Not Buy Or
Sell”
No.666 The Beast Number And Name
Rev 13:17 “even that
not any might buy or sell except those having the mark, or the
name of the beast, or the number of its name
:18 Here is the wisdom. Let him having reason
count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. And
its number is six hundred and sixty-six.” The trick is it’s not meant to be hard to
work out if we ask God to help us. John 16:13 “He will guide you into all truth.” Rev 13:18 “Here is the wisdom. Let him having reason”.
“Wisdom and reason” simply put is common senses; it doesn’t meant you need some
spiritual insight. So were do we start? Well Jesus said in Rev 1:8 “I am the Alpha and Omega”, so He was
using the Greek alphabet. Therefore maybe we should use the Greek alphabet?
(But it is surprising that we can use other languages to do the calculations).
Next it is a ‘mans name’ we should be looking for. John
Gill goes through a list of names then finally came to this. [Ref CN by John
Gill on Revelation 13:18] “but the name "Lateinos"
bids as fair as any, which is mentioned by so ancient a writer as Irenaeus, who
was a hearer of Polycarp, a disciple of John, the writer of this book; now the
numeral value of the letters of this word makes up exactly 666,
thus; λ
30. α
1. τ
300. ε
5. ι
10. ν
50. ο
70. ς
200. in all 666; and it is well known that the church of Rome is called the Latin
Church and the pope of Rome the head of the Latin church, and
his seat is in the Latin empire, and the service of the beast
is in the Latin tongue, and the Bible is kept in that language,
from the reading of the common people:” Lateinos in Greek is spelt, “ λ α τ
ε ι ν ο ς” May I refer you to the link, No.666, you will find a wealth of amazing
information on the subject.
You can also refer to A. J. Ferris
he says much the same, [Ref The Book of Revelation Pt 2 Ferris
pages 29-31] He says “..while
Western Rome , for contrast, became known as the Latin World, the Latin
nations, and are still so called. Then Pope Vitallian issued a decree
commanding the exclusive use of Latin in all the services of the church,
its prayers and sacraments etc. ..Everything was Latinised in the church so
that, at the lead of the priests, every inhabitant of Western Europe as a
member of the church used Latin and thus willingly received the
characteristic “mark” of the “beast” or Latin world. It is also
significant that Pope Vitallian’s Latinising decree was made exactly 666
years after the birth of Christ.” Ferris then goes on to talk about the Third Lateran Council
as I mentioned above. Also he says, “pope
Alexander III, (1184) passed a law forbidding people to exercise commerce with
the Waldenses and Albigenses in “selling or buying”, and likewise at the
Constance Council, 1414.”
Others have come
to the same conclusion! Refer Albert Barnes, Joseph Benson, Adam Clarke and [Ref CN by B.W.
Johnson on Revelation 13:18] “Let us try the latter method: 30=L, 1=a,
300-t, 5=e, 10=i, 50=n, 70=o, 200=s. 666=Lateinos. And what is this name? The
number of a man; the Greek method of spelling the name of Latinus, the reputed
founder of the Latin race. The Romans were a Latin race and spoke
the Latin language. The Romish Church is continually officially called
the Latin Church, to distinguish it from the Greek Church, the other
branch of the great ancient schism; the Catholic sacred books are written in
the Latin tongue; the worship is conducted in every country in the Latin
alone, and when a Catholic council convenes, all its conferences are
conducted in the tongue of the ancient Latins. There is, then, a Latin
Church, whose official and sacred speech is the Latin language,
which has for its seat the ancient Latin capital. That Church is the
great Apostate Church, upon whose head the names of blasphemy have been
written, which has claimed universal dominion upon the earth, and has slain the
saints of the Most High. Its name is the number of the beast, and that name,
Lateinos, the name or number of a man, is 666. It does not destroy the
force of this that these numerals and letters can be so combined as to spell
out other names. This name is one that at once points to a power which
has displayed every mark which is assigned to the beast.”
In conclusion, it would appear that this period in
history from about 600 AD to 1800 you could say there was a One World
Government? The world powers, (the Ten Kingdoms of Europe), were under the
‘thumb’ of the antichrist pope. But we know from history there was a huge
amount of rebellion from the ‘heretics’ during this period. But we can look
into that in more detail in the next talk entitled, OWG11 HV - The Harlot Astride The Beast Rev 17!
Hope you found that interesting and that I have explained
everything well enough. If you have any comments by all means let me know your
