mikromarius, this is by far one of the most interesting things I've read in quite some time. I've read many similar pages lately but none with so much packed into one sitting. The dedication to interpretation of this alone is impressive. Nice Post!

One of the Titles of the Pope of Rome is:
Vicarius Filii Dei which means "vicar of the Son of God." .... Adding up to 666.

Yes, it is an interesting topic but not everyone is ready to agree with the idea that the Pope is part of some conspiracy to cause harm. Some do think seriously about recent events in the Church and consider the reaction to accusations made (As well as the
response).
But to go so far as to say the Church was willfully negligible before the fact is another story for many.
The Pope at present and in the foreseeable future has no real power at present with respect to affecting world events politically so how can we conclude that given the past actions of the Vatican Assembly that somehow this may change?
Mikromarius I tend not to engage in downloading files from the Internet and its not a matter of trusting a member but rather the Internet in general. Is it possible you can give us a brief synopsis of the contents beyond what you have provided, for the sake of other members who share my concerns?
There are actually several sites presented by various Christian sects who support the idea that the Christian faith is inherently evil Seekerof but for all intent and purpose in its present state that does not make them

I'm sure as with anything...there are tons of possible theories to as what 666 can mean.

Oh mikromarius, I should clarify, Lateinos is not the greek word for Romulus, you only get some "weird conspiracy" of the word in those rubbish Anti-christ websites.
Lateinos IS the word for "latin speaking man". Which has little to do with Rome herself, as anyone under her shadow spoke latin

During the time of Antichrist, everyone will be offered to receive the mark of the beast, and therefore Christians ought to know the essence of what this means and just what this number signifies.
What is the genuinely Orthodox approach to this subject? We shall try to explain.
The Holy Fathers of the Orthodox Church allow of various explanations of the number of the beast. Most often the name is sought in the correspondence between the number of the beast and the sum of letters of this or that name. Thereby people have arrived at many descriptive and even proper names of Antichrist, and likewise his title. They have deduced such names as "Wicked Leader," "Ancient Envier," "Truly Malicious," "Unrighteous Lamb," and others.
Here is the rest of it.....and its not today's interpretation of the Antichrist but centuries ago....
