i dunno, this may very well be the number one reason i don't take eschatology more seriously than i should. this is probably why dispies get less respect than some of them deserve.
what is the deal with trying to come up with some Bible code and trying to figure out who the heck the antichrist is? we search from cover to cover in Revelation, and search the newspapers for any juicy tidbit on when and where the end is going to start and who the antichrist is.
You hypocrites! how is it that you are so wrapped up in wild conjectures, while you neglect the words of James?: Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit." Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away. Instead, you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we will live and also do this or that." if the world ends tomorrow, oh well. let us keep in mind that we will live tomorrow, or the day after, only if the Lord wills it.
(the indictment of hypocracy, is not intended to be against everyone here. i have a certain type of person in mind; you'll know if it is against you or not)
so, to show how ridiculous some of these "let's find the antichrist" games are, let me present irrefutable proof that Barney, the purple dinosaur, is the antichrist:
Everyone knows Barney,... that cute purple dinosaur. But here's something that you may not know:
1. Start with the given:
CUTE PURPLE DINOSAUR
2. Change all U's to V's (which is proper Latin anyway)
CVTE PVRPLE DINOSAVR
3. Extract all Roman Numerals:
CV V L DI V
4. Convert these into Arabic values:
100 5 5 50 500 1 5
5. Add these numbers up:
100
5
5
50
500
1
+ 5
-----
666
There you have it: A mathematical proof that Barney is the Antichrist!
