Revelation was written in greek, which can also be converted to numbers, and it never says this is the name of "the Antichrist", it says it is the name of the beast. Beasts in prophecy are kingdoms. Contrary to popular belief, there is no singular person referred to in scripture as "the Antichrist", it talks of many, and they were even around during the time of the Apostles.

Revelation 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Mark of the Beast – Number of the Beast 666
The beast rising up out of the earth (Rev 13:11-18) is the great whore, the false church (the Roman Catholic Church) that rides and has powerful influence, and often, full control over the government (Holy Roman Empire). The mark of the beast is a religious mark, not a governmental mark such as a Social Security number, or a National Identity number. Those who receive the mark of the beast will suffer the corrective plagues of God's Judgment and are contrasted with the saints, those who are keeping God's commandments. Therefore, the mark has something to do with commandment breaking.

A mark is an identifying sign or brand. One group is forced to bear the sign, brand, or mark of the beast to work or buy or sell. Keeping the fourth commandment, the Sabbath, is a sign, mark, or brand that identifies God's people (Ex 31: 12-17). God's commandments, especially the fourth, are a sign on the hands (actions/work) and forehead (thinking/belief) of those who keep them. The mark of the beast is the enforced observance of Sunday and Satan's holidays instead of God's Sabbaths and Holy days.

Rev 13:17-18 tells us to count (compute) the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666. These verses are saying the beast has a number and it may be identified. The expression “the name of the beast,” or “the number of his name” makes plain that the number 666 is the number of the name of the kingdom or empire. The expression “it is the number of a man” shows we must also count this number in the name of the king, or ruler, over the kingdom identified as the “beast.”

The beast is the Roman Empire. It was named after Romulas, the founder and first king of Rome. His name, the name of a man, also is the name of the kingdom. Every citizen in the kingdom bears the same name – a Roman. The apostle John wrote the book of Revelation in Greek. Therefore, we should count in Greek, not in Latin.

This name, in Greek, is “Lateinos.” It means “Latin Man” or “the name of Latium,” from which region the Romans derived their origin and their language. In Greek, L=30, A=1, T=300, E=5, I=10, N=50, O=70, and S=200. They add up to 666. For 1260 years the pope has reigned and ruled over the beast. They were in effect, the religious heads of the empire, ruling over the emperors, as well as over the church.

You are right that John wrote Revelation in Greek and not Hebrew, which means the gematria for 666 should be done in ancient Greek and not Hebrew. However, it is a common misconception that Antichrist was never mentioned in the Bible specifically as one person. It's one of the urban legends that just will not stop.

Ancient Greek writing was specifically this : O Antikhristos or, "The Antichrist". It must be I believe a part of the false apostate church that is today what is called "Christianity" in the US that keeps up this lie that there was not a specific Antichrist, as in The Antichrist, mentioned, because there was.

The woman on the beast is a CHURCH, a woman is always a church in prophecy so it can't be that. Sarah Palin's name wasn't Sarah Palin when she was born and Jews don't take the last name of their husband like that in orthodoxy so it wouldn't work.

The anti-christ is Satan himself as the Bible clearly states, but you all keep looking for some human to fill the spot, make the real one sure he has you deceived...
