    Not exactly.

    I am saying that fantasy writers have been given us because they have some kind of insight into apocalyptic things.

    If you analyse Silmarillion and especially Akallabęth, you will find that Morgoth corresponds pretty well to Satan, which would leave Sauron as the demon Abaddon, who is also probably the demon who will be possessing Antichrist.

    That said, I don't think either Tolkien or Rowling were sufficiently bad to be well acquainted with the Antichrist as such. I am noting this as a side confirmation on the use of ASCII Code as to Apocalypse 13:18.

      If you read chapter 13, of Apocalypse, you will find that there is a very clear hint about using a bit of gematria.

        I don't think CP can answer you. I think he is in Hell.

        Also, as far as wiktionary can be trusted, I very much prefer snowflakes (now I looked the word up) over C. P. Snow.

        He was a socialist, a science believer and considered specialised science knowledge as civilisational equivalent of having a culture.

        He was also pro-industrial and anti-ruralist.

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._P._Snow

        I am not deploring his work as a whodunnit writer, just his influence by "The Two Cultures".

        Wiki quotes a passage, which as my memory from the book is rather correctly quoted:

        A good many times I have been present at gatherings of people who, by the standards of the traditional culture, are thought highly educated and who have with considerable gusto been expressing their incredulity at the illiteracy of scientists. Once or twice I have been provoked and have asked the company how many of them could describe the Second Law of Thermodynamics. The response was cold: it was also negative. Yet I was asking something which is about the scientific equivalent of: 'Have you read a work of Shakespeare's?'

        I now believe that if I had asked an even simpler question – such as, What do you mean by mass, or acceleration, which is the scientific equivalent of saying, 'Can you read?' – not more than one in ten of the highly educated would have felt that I was speaking the same language. So the great edifice of modern physics goes up, and the majority of the cleverest people in the western world have about as much insight into it as their Neolithic ancestors would have had.
        In other words, he believes in Progress, he believes we are more insightful than "our neolithic ancestors".

        A Church Father said not to consider anyone as Antichrist just because his name added up - apparently a lot of names did in Greek gematria! Quite a lot fewer in ASCII Code! - but that attitude is typefying a real spirit of deception, a deception by chronological snobbery.

        I think that Polish KOMUNIST (add 32 by freely chosen means) and Spanish USURARIO (dito) are sufficiently evil in themselves to give confirmation about the method and also hints about the character of the man.

        Also check out that JAMESBOND (omit the space) adds up to 659.

        And now do the addition:

        659
        007

        With my main suspect, the "James Bond" track is very relevant. In Russian, they did not have James Bond films in his youth, but he joined the KGB because of his fandom of JB's Soviet Russian counterparts.

        In philosophy, I would not want to be caught redhanded in being (like, alas, Shunya from time to time) a Kantian. In Lithuanian KANTIANAS adds up to ... well use ASCII Code.

        But I'll end here, before you accuse me of a Gish gallop!

              You missed the anti-Christ by several years, my friend.

              Ronald = 6
              Wilson = 6
              Reagan = 6

              Actually YOU put Trump in the White House. He wouldn't have gotten 1% of the vote if it wasn't for the widespread spiritual and cultural devastation caused by progressive policies.

                I don't think so.

                He was born in the family Reagan, a family name with six letters.

                In these cases certain parents, like his, whether from massonic flirting with 666 or from Jewish superstition about 18 will give their children, especially male ones, two first names with six letters each.

                This is also the case with the man who developed the bar code.

                If a man who fulfilled that criterium of name could simply therefore be meant, that would make parents able to chose the names to make their sons Antichrist - or candidates.

                I think that precisely ASCII Code and precisely in the generation which was born before it was invented is the main clue - because that way the parents could not know what they were fulfilling.

                On the "Ronald Wilson Reagan" theorem (and in certain families also by Greek alphabet or Hebrew alphabet gematria) parents would be able to put a hex on their children by the choice of names.

                  1) Antichrist is not a single person. That is, “antichrist” is a descriptive term for a group, or a type of person, not a title for a special single person. John had no intention of describing a single world ruler who would come and fill some prophesied role of “the” Antichrist.
                  Actually, that is false and does not follow from the verse.

                  What Tradition means by "The Antichrist" and what St John means in that verse (checking:1 John 2:18) by the use of the plural form is not the exact same concept.

                  There is one Antichrist who will be thrown alive into the lake of fire, and he is one of the many Antichrists. So is The False Prophet who will be doing him company.

                  I do not think that Leo Tolstoy was The Antichrist. But I think that Pobodonoststev ("procurator of the Holy Synod" in Czarist clergy) was perfectly right to call him "a heretic and an antichrist" as in one of the many, though not necessarily one of those two.

                  The Biblical term is not "The Antichrist" so much as The Beast or The Man of Sin (though that could also refer to The False Prophet).

                  2) These antichrists came and went during the time John wrote. We are not awaiting their appearance in our near future. “And now,” “Even now,” or “So now,” these many antichrists “have come,” said John. Their appearance on the scene was a done deal.
                  The small antichrists were not done with when St John went to his glory.

                  They were around in his time, a little later there were others, like the Persian Mani, yet later further others, like Arius, and perhaps also Nestorius (it is also possible Nestorius was only so for a while but repented, but let's us say Nestorius as judgeable by what he had done up to Council of Ephesus, not Nestorius as he was perhaps redeemed after it), later still there were six in the upshot around 1517, amounting to four wellsprings of diverse Protestant sects:

                  1) Martin Luther, 2) Huldrich Zwingli and 3) John Oecolampad, 4) Thomas Müntzer and the two Sozzini, 5) Lelio with his nephew 6) Fausto.

                  Later still you have Voltaire, but before him you have Reverend Anderson, 1717.

                  Later still you have Roncalli, Montini and Wojtyla.

                  All these small antichrists lead up to the final couple, though Dimond Brothers thinks Wojtyla has already fulfilled part of what traditionally is thought of The Antichrist, in Assisi 1986 and by the assassination attempt which failed. And though Pope Michael thinks Montini was it, by changing the Liturgy.

                  Even as late as this, there are more options than Bergoglio and Putin, though these are my main suspects. There may be a kind of "highlander syndrome" ("in the end only one is left" ... er, only two are left) about it.

                  But going by ASCII Code and known persons, there are not that many. Some few more. And I have been calculating ASCII Code values on names for a few years by now, since Bergoglio struck me as suspect. If it were very common to get that number by ASCII Code, I would be aware by now. It is not.

                    3) John, inspired by the Holy Spirit, writing in Scripture, interpreted the manifestation of these antichrists as proof he and his audience were living in the “last hour” or “end time.” Unless the “last hour” has lasted for nearly two thousand years (a large percentage of human history for a waning hour), then we can safely say that the “end time” somehow pertained to John’s era, not ours. This should force some hard thinking about the doctrine of the last days, at least for some people.
                    The last hour precisely HAS lasted for 2000 years, nearly. Christ came in the fulness of time, then from Apostolic times to Doomsday is "the last hour", in which a full manifestation of the final Antichrist is only possible after the great apostasy. Something which some of us identify with things like Vatican II and Assisi 1986.

                      ASCII code did not even exist when Tolkien wrote his books. It did not exist when Revelation was written. Why would it be relevant to anything? Why would Tolkien's books be relevant? Yes he was a Christian and he did have Christian themes in his books, and he probably did base some of his characters on Satan or demons, like the orcs who are fallen elves (angels). But it is fantasy. Not prophesy. And it would have zero to do with ASCII. You are merely shoehorning your ideas into the text with a sledgehammer. This is known as eisegesis.

                      Eisegesis (/ˌaɪsəˈdʒiːsəs/; from the Greek preposition εἰς "into" and the ending from the English word exegesis, Greek ἐξήγησις, which in turn is derived from ἐξηγεῖσθαι "to lead out") is the process of interpreting a text or portion of text in such a way that the process introduces one's own presuppositions, agendas, or biases into and onto the text. This is commonly referred to as reading into the text. The act is often used to "prove" a pre-held point of concern to the reader and to provide him or her with confirmation bias in accordance with his or her pre-held agenda. Eisegesis is best understood when contrasted with exegesis. While exegesis is the process of drawing out the meaning from a text in accordance with the context and discoverable meaning of its author, eisegesis occurs when a reader imposes his or her interpretation into and onto the text. As a result, exegesis tends to be objective when employed effectively while eisegesis is regarded as highly subjective.

                        But you are just fiddling with numbers and letters and punctuation till you come up with a code or method that matches your already decided conclusion.

                        I just made up a code that proves you are the anti-christ. It uses Pirate Code (invented by me!)

                        h = 600
                        a = 60
                        n = 6
                        s = nothing. zero. nada.
                        Total: 666 in decimal.

                        Therefore you are the antichrist. I have proven it! Repent, demon!

                          You're excluding Reagan for entirely subjective reasons.
                          You claim he couldn't be it because the naming of the child would be intentional when it is just as likely a fulfillment of prophecy. (1)

                          You don't have a reason to exclude him other than 'it doesn't fit my preconceived model'.

                          This is what numerologist do - they look through thousands of combinations of numbers to get to the magical '666' and exclude any totals that don't match their preset agenda. The possibilities of getting to that number take the most convoluted and ridiculous routes.

                          See the example on Visa here: http://www.theforbiddenknowledge.com...des/words.html

                          Your initial post where you substitute out a 'S' for a 's' and a 'u' out for a 'w' is an embarrassment.
                          Tying it all to ASCII is flat out silly - this ranks as one of the saddest attempts at numerology I've seen in quite some time.
                          It isn't clever, it isn't creative, it is silly.

                            One has to wonder what comfort they'd find in a hidden code that couldn't be deciphered until ASCII was developed.
