More on Apoc. 13:18


Apocalypticae Considerationes · More on Apoc. 13:18

They're Saying He's the Antichrist…
Totus Catholica | 2 June 2026
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAeV6iLv5NY


0:34 "whose identity God has not given us permission to assign"

Whence, if so, the words He that hath understanding, let him count the number of the beast. For it is the number of a man: and the number of him is six hundred sixty-six.

Now, identifying someone's name as involving that gematria is not final proof, but it is a warning signal.

Safe House
@virtualzhbl
@hglundahl -- The official title of the Pope in Latin is Vicarius Filii Dei in English translate to Vicar of the Son of God. In Roman numerals, the Latin phrase Vicarius Filii Dei adds up to 666.

Hans-Georg Lundahl
@hglundahl
@virtualzhbl The official titleS you conflate are "Vicarius Christi" which doesn't so add up, and "Servus Servorum Dei" which doesn't so add up.

Plus Roman numerals is NOT the correct gematria for Apoc. 13:18.

Now a Church Father said, and that was before Constantine in case you are into the Hislop slop, it can't be Latin letters, because they don't have a numeric value for each letter (that has changed in ASCII) and it can't be Hebrew, it's too unknown, so it must be Greek (which is now as unknown as Hebrew was then).

If you want an institution, take doctors, since they swear by Apollon, who in that capacity could have been a man, and the five cases of Apollon in Greek add up to 2666. (I said Greek, not modern Greek, OK).


0:34 future He certainly was future back in the time of St. John.

5:05 If all you want is not to be deceived by a counterfeit, and I mean all, then all you need to do is look at anything purported to be a saviour, compare to Jesus, say "no, it isn't" ....

However, if also you want to not be unfair to a — dare I say fellow? — Christian, you might want two more things.

1) Verify he really claimed to be a saviour, and not just a Christian whistleblower (like Chesterton) or man of providence (like Franco).
2) Verify his name adds up to 666.

Now, there are a specific set of circumstances that do line up the "future" reign of the Antichrist. I put "future" in quotation marks, because it certainly was future back in St. John's or St. Irenaeus' day, it need not be future by much when I write it or at all when someone reads it.

1) Ban from participation in the market for not taking the mark;
2) Decapitation for refusal to take the mark.

It's probable these are successive. The thing is, vaccinations and masks are images of the medical corps, which does at least nominally worship one Apollo in the Hippocratic oath. Now, the Classic Attic five cases of Apollo do add up to 2666. Also, vaccines against Covid were made by viruses or virus extracted bacterially cultivated proteins, where the cultivation or initial cultivation of viruses for each strand and each new version of the vaccine takes place in human fetal cells from an abortion. This is both the case for Moderna and for Sputnik V.

So, we may already have witnessed stage 1, ban from participation in the market for not taking the mark. I have been refused in one bakery to buy even a coffee for not wearing a mask while entering.

5:05 bis a code you can break to unmask a world leader.

There takes more than this gematria for a world leader to be Antichrist, the final one, but not less. If you had no other suspicions, that gematria might tip you off. But arguably, if you even looked it up, apart from being very curious, you might have had other reasons about the man.

St. Hippolytus certainly says that not everyone who has that in his name is the Antichrist, since that gematria is fairly common. The man who delivered St. John from Patmos, M. NEPOYAC, in Genitive had M. NEPOYA, which adds up to 666. However, in ASCII, the gematria is not all that common. With nine upper case letters of the English alphabet, the chances are (all combinations adding up to 666 per all of nine upper case) c. 1/140 or 1/150.

Putin has three versions of this gematria. Charles III and any male successor of his has two versions.

WLADIMIRA (Genitive / Accusative of Wladimir). VLADIMIRB (Vladimir B, Vladimir II). These two are potentially common with Zelensky, which could explain why he made Russian non-official across Ukraine. Volodimir does not so add up. And V POUTINE (V. POUTINE, but pointless, since full stop is called a point in French), like if he did sth pointless in a French speaking country.

ENGELSMAN. skotte.

(Elisabeth was ENGELSKA / skotska, does not so add up).

Both are, and so is Zelensky, endorsing Covid vaccination.

5:20 Sometimes technology in your hand spells out allegiance.

You held a cell phone in your right hand in 2021, you showed the vaccination app, you showed you thought you owed more to a medical scare endorsed by the government than to the unborn.

CELLPHONE also spells out 666 in ASCII.

5:26 Looking up Irenaeus.

Moreover, another danger, by no means trifling, shall overtake those who falsely presume that they know the name of Antichrist. For if these men assume one [number], when this [Antichrist] shall come having another, they will be easily led away by him, as supposing him not to be the expected one, who must be guarded against.


I would say:

Moreover, another danger, by no means trifling, shall overtake those who falsely presume that they know the name of Antichrist. For if these men assume one [name], when this [Antichrist] shall come having another, they will be easily led away by him, as supposing him not to be the expected one, who must be guarded against.


In other words, he is not warning against calculating the numbers of already known men, but trying to know the name well before the arrival.

Supposing anyone had in 1850 calculated in advance (very fictitious example, since not so adding up) that the Antichrist would bear the name Adolf. There could have been two outcomes related to a certain baby in 1889. a) He could have been deliberately so named in an attempt to secure him the position of Antichrist, or b) he could have been beaten in 1945 and people thought the peril was over, when a much better candidate was a certain WLADIMIR A (Wladimir A, Wladimir I, Lenin), who was still worshipped in his maosolaeum and whose successor Stalin was clearly not out of the way.

St. Irenaeus is not warning against looking out for a certain person. He's warning against knowing the name before the person appears. You can't do that in the same culture. Hebrews could literally in advance know from Isaias that a certain deliverer would be called Cyrus. But that was because the people around Cambyses were totally unaware of Hebrew prophecy. Since the Antichrist comes after world wide Christendom, after preaching of the Gospel (including the Apocalypse) to all nations, a direct prophecy of the name would be a shortcircuit.

Isaias didn't prophecy Jesus would be called Jesus, he prophecied Immanuel, which is the same meaning as Jesus. And John didn't tell us the actual name, but the number of the name. Having that number is not an immediate indictment, as can be seen from M. NEPOYA. But not having it is an acquitment.

St. Irenaeus is actually telling us what to wait for:

But, knowing the sure number declared by Scripture, that is, six hundred sixty and six, let them await, in the first place, the division of the kingdom into ten; then, in the next place, when these kings are reigning, and beginning to set their affairs in order, and advance their kingdom, [let them learn] to acknowledge that he who shall come claiming the kingdom for himself, and shall terrify those men of whom we have been speaking, having a name containing the aforesaid number, is truly the abomination of desolation.


The division of the kingdom into ten ... if it's a round number it has happened in more than one break-up of Roman and deutero-Roman statehood.

Austro-Hungary had 8 successor states. Or nine if you count the same territory twice, first as SHS and then as Yugoslavia.
Russian Empire. Russia, Ukraine, Finland, Poland, Romania (as it took Bessarabia), Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania. Mongolia, perhaps?
West Rome had some successor kingdoms in the Age of Migrations, Carolingian Empire started out parting into three parts, but the middle split further ...

5:31 Ah, you stopped citing Irenaeus before he told us what to wait for ...

No, he didn't refuse to play the game.

He said it was premature to play it, the stage was not yet set.

If you go to Lateran V, the language echoes that sentiment.

Now, Irenaeus may have misunderstood "ten kings" as "ten independent states" rather than a single state ruled by committees of ten. As Ancient Roman Republic was more than once.

There is another Biblical thing to wait for. "until the one withholding is taken out of the way" ... if the katekhon is Jesus Christ and His Church, that cannot happen. But if it's for instance a Christian Roman Emperor, well Nicholas II of Russia was murdered and Charles I had to leave the Hofburg. According to one founding father, Karl Renner, of the first Austrian Republic, he and all heirs not formally and finally abdicating, could have no Austrian statehood or residence. Otto von Habsburg had an Austrian passport "valid in all countries except Austria" ... I would say Charles I did not just step out of the way, but was in a real sense taken out of the way.

The Medieval monk Adso (not "of Melk," that being a fictional character in Umberto Eco, but I can't recall the actual place he was abbot of) didn't include East Rome, but just the two divisions of West Rome / Carolingian. Germany and France.

1789 (or 1791 or 1830) and, as mentioned, 1918.

6:26 As you mentioned Holy Mass, bishops closed down Masses during the Covid emergency.

8:22 Actually, the First Covenant or Old Covenant (which had precedents prior to Moses and in that sense wasn't the first) lives on in the New Covenenant.

Judaism, as in non-Catholics, apart from its capacity to be apostasy, is more like cosplay than direct participation in the Old Covenant as it stood until Caiaphas made it impure.

8:52 "the true worship over the counterfeit, the Eucharist over the endless scroll of fear"

Apocalyptic fearmongering doesn't pretend to be in and of itself an act of worship.

And what I found at least a very close shadow of the mark of the beast in is itself, not via internet primarily, or via its private actors, but via state sponsored information, a "scroll" of fear. Fear of being the next one to transmit a virus that may be deadly to someone unless you tick off every point in a checklist, but primarily two items:

  • mask worn as a metopon (one meaning being face shield)
  • a cell phone in the right hand used to show vaccination status or for payment without contact ... which is still very promoted. And becomes more and more of an excuse against alms.





I mentioned Austro-Hungary as broken up into 8 territories, but before that the Holy Roman Empire, what Adso meant by Germany, had already lost Switzerland in the Peace of Westphalia and Germany in 1870. And 1870 is also the time when France last ceased to have a crowned monarch, Napoleon III. Now, 8 + 1 + 1 = 10.




One more suspect:

84 + 82 + 65 + 79 + 82 + 201 = 593 (TRAORÉ)
73 + 593 = 666 (add an I)

Except, if he was never baptised, he's not an apostate and is therefore not fulfilling that pretty probable if not certain criterium.

Bad Polemics Against the Papacy Will Include Anti-Fascism


Is the Pope From God or From Men? The Case Against Rome | Mike Gendron
Philippians 1:9 Ministries | 30 June 2026
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Do75NfgAkLM


Three remarks.

1) You didn't even bother to look at verse 19, where "thee" clearly refers to Peter. And with a language making him parallel to Eliacim.
2) You didn't note that the Church was founded on a rock and doesn't just consist of individuals, but regardless of leadership type is an institution, a stable community.
3) You feature personal immorality as non-leadership, like as if James [VI and] I's presumably sodomitic affairs had made him non-king, and add three authors, one of whom is a very recent modernist, adept of Vatican II, one of whom was a dropout in school, but presumably still correct on the historic facts, and one of whom takes support of Fascism, any kind, not just NSDAP, if you call that a Fascism, as a clear moral failure.

On the last point:

Who were the chief traitors to the cause of democratic civilization? Catholic France — that is to say, the Catholic and Pope-directed part of France, Belgium (or its Fascists, royalists, and priests), and the Catholic Croats of Yugo-Slavia.

Who made the best fight against the invading Huns? Norway, which has only 2000 Catholics to nearly 3,000,000 Protestants; the Serbs, who are bitterly anti-Papal and were let down by the Catholic provinces of their country; Greece, where the Pope has no influence; and Russia, where, if you will forgive in Irishism, he has still less. Not for a moment do I belittle the fine resistance of Poland, but it was not fighting Fascism as such. It was already Fascist and had for twenty years persecuted religious minorities. It fought for its national independence and to prevent the extension to Poland of the anti-clerical elements of Nazism.


He could have added Austria to Poland, except Austria, to avoid a bloodbath, didn't fight in 1938. Previously it had both fired on and executed NSDAP.

McCabe argues as if adherence to Democracy (including apparently Communism) were a moral duty and adherence or even alliance with a Fascism, any of them, were a moral failure.

To some who consider each and every one of the non-NSDAP Fascisms as "NSDAP lite", no, not the case. Italy was certainly not the purest, but even there sth like Aktion T-4 would have been and for the ventennio was unthinkable. Also, given Gipsies were trying to enter Italy in 1926, 100 years ago, and Mussolini blocked their entry in that year, it's obvious Gipsies were not oppressed in the early parts of the ventennio. After that block, I'm not sure if all caravans were targetted or just those drawn by horses ... given Mussolini's alliance with Fiat, that's a possibility. But even if not, even if he tried to force them to live in one place, democratic régimes, including Norway which McCabe praised, have oppressed them far worse than that.

So where does McCabe find in the Bible that Democracy is a duty and Fascism a sin? He doesn't.

(Clarification on Mussolini's block and the targetting of caravans, two different but connected stories. Legally, from Mussolini's side, foreign gipsies could no longer enter. In administration, from a chief police, gypsy caravans were targetted. And I'm not sure how much or why or what came of it, but I suspect it was a long term project and even in 1937, when gipsies were transferred from Istria to Sardinia, some gipsies, though fewer, were still roaming around in caravans. And those in Istria got to take their caravans with them, whether horse drawn or motored.)




One more.

This is he that was in the church in the wilderness, with the angel who spoke to him on mount Sina, and with our fathers; who received the words of life to give unto us
[Acts Of Apostles 7:38]


No proof that the word "church" or ecclesia doesn't mean an institution.

We simply say, that was the Jewish Church, a perfectly legitimate (up to Caiaphas the night to Good Friday) precursor of the Catholic Church.

This also shows why Jesus could rebuke Peter a few verses later, since the Catholic Church was not yet founded as such at this moment. Cephas didn't become the first Pope of the New Covenant while (Hannas or) Caiaphas (or someone) was the last (or second last) Pope of the Old Covenant.

Christine Niles with John Salza and I Take Distance from SSPX, from Different Positions


She's OK with Vatican II, I'm a Conclavist. First an afterthought from today, then my original comments from yesterday. But even before that, her video.


SSPX Extremes | FORWARD BOLDLY
Christine Niles | 30 June 2026
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQuhPuxWqZA


You considered it a kind of dissimulation to not include the position on the Mass into the Creed.

But a position is not a dogma or even an inherited ecclesial doctrine.

It is dogma or doctrine that Babel happened as described in Genesis 11. It is my position that this temporally happened in 401 after the Flood, not 101 or 529/531 as other text versions would indicate, and that that is 2557 BC. It is my position that this corresponds in carbon dating to c. 8000 BC. It is my position that this geographically was Göbekli Tepe. It is my position that Nimrod intended a space rocket, not some kind of skyscraper. It is my position that bricks for stones and slime for mortar describe slightly different materials, but the words were reused for what we refer to as bricks and bitumen.

Each of these positions could be false, even if I don't think any of them actually is false. But the falsification of any of these would not in the least involve falsifying the doctrinal position that Genesis 11 is history. Nimrod in some way tried to reach heaven and didn't have the means to do so, he forced all the human population to cooperate with his project and God liberated them from that by miraculously exchanging the linguistic content in the formed language capacities of adults. Each knew one language, like I know more or less 8, dialects of Germanic and Latin. Each went to bed knowing the same language and they rose next morning knowing different ones (as if tomorrow I didn't understand a bit of Germanic or Latin, but knew Chinese, Japanese, Cantonese instead, examples of languages I don't know). This would be true even if each of my positions were wrong.

I put my positions into essays, I'd not include them in a creed, even if I had the authority or task imposed by an authority to formulate one.

5:30 What exact year is this page from?

Bc I had heard "we will never recommend anyone to go to the new mass" ... and "often at risk of invalidity" before I attended reverend Novus Ordo by a priest ordained before the changes in a time and place where a TLM specifically from them was inaccessible.

6:49 Indeed.

The only logical options are:

  • Novus Ordo is valid and licit
  • not valid or at least not licit since St. Paul VI, prisoner in the Vatican; acted under duress (position of Palmarians)
  • not valid or at least not licit since Montini was not validly Pope and neither was V-II a Council. (position of Sedevacantists and Conclavists)


7:45 Your beef, as OK with Vatican II, and our beef, as Conclavists, and their beef as Sedevacantists, with SSPX is the same.

Pope Michael I called it "pope-sifting"

11:01 In other words, they are in the canonical position of Abbot Schachleiter if he wanted to celebrate Mass in a Church in Munich outside his monastery (I'm not sure whether his faculties in the monastery depended on the bishop or the abbatial arrangement).

The withdrawal of faculties was bc of his personal friendship to Hitler. Taken to allowing him to assist Mass (he was, like other highranking NSDAP, excommunicated by German bishops). However, he didn't take it to allowing Hitler to get absolved or receive Holy Communion.

As a Conclavist, I pretty much agree with [Salza's] assessment on SSPX, though I have been cirkling around that position about half of my life. I take his position as less reasonable about Conclavism or Cum ex Apostolatus ...

19:07 Truth ... it was back at Novus Ordo (reverent, by a priest ordained before the change of rite) that I heard of CCC §283.

In 1991, when I was more like Ecclesia Dei, CCC was not there.

In 1992, when I got to SSPX, I had so much other stuff, I vaguely heard about it.

Only in Malmö, 2001, did I hear about CCC § 283. Not by the old priest. But it was still in a Catechism, or what purported to be such. Prior to this, in all of my conversion (Christmas 1984 to Pentecost or Easter Tide 1988), in my turning to Ecclesia Dei and to SSPX, no priest had ever asked me to treat Young Earth Creationism as an error. Or Geocentrism, though it wasn't sth I held yet.

Here the logical alternatives are:

  • the Church and even Jesus got it wrong for near 2000 years, until John Paul II corrected things in 1992
  • Wojtyla was not the Pope.


If you think "tertium datur" please spell it out. As far as I know, Salza is not keen on CCC § 283 either, but he can afford what I can't afford, or couldn't afford over decades, being accepted in a NO parish while decrying Old Earth as an actual religious error ... and by now Heliocentrism as one.

News from England


Is the King a 'Traitor?'
Dr Gavin Ashenden | 30 June 2026
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovHW5mb6qUI


Obviously, in one sense an earthly king, just as an earthly high priest, can be a traitor.

Namely to God.

4:22 Given how little Queen Victoria did against Cambridge Liberal Theology (possibly the gateway for Marcan priority, a Kulturkampf horror), I wonder if she didn't commit a worse treason.

Her grandson (my King's grandfather) Charles Edward, the last prince of Sachsen-Coburg Gotha, has much more to do with Aktion T-4 than either of:

  • Austro-Bavarian folklore
  • Guido von List
  • even the Darwinist Rudolf Jung, founder of German National Socialism in Bohemia in 1905 (he wanted separation from Habsburgs and Anschluss to Hohenzollerns or to a Republican Great Germany)
  • the constitutional technicalities, according to some quirks, according to some breach of constitution in the Machtübernahme.


Because he was imbued with the Darwinism or even Galtonism, that Chesterton fought against. Because he was close to doctors. And because they were imbued with it as well.

11:03 In other words. 1688 and 89, the Parliament did too much. (The Irish are likely to recall that).

This time it is likely to not do enough ...

Plus, you have already described it as one of the aggressors (Left Wing Government corresponding to the Majority in House of Commons).

11:18 Parliaments regularly do or accept things the people have not been consulted about.

In 1842, the Swedish people wasn't consulted in any referendum about introducing the school obligation (those without schooling at home or on the expense of the home, had to attend a parochial school, like one which Haga in Westrogothia, presumably now Greater Gothenburg, built only by 1850).

King and Parliament cosigned the deal without consulting the people.

14:11 (offend Christians ...) It might of course offend God as well.

Or it is possible something else will.

I mean, as a Geocentric who considers the visible universe moved each day by one proving even to Pagans his everlasting or inexhaustible power by never failing to do so any day ... I take that somewhat seriously. Some Heliocentric Kantians may take it less seriously ... not by my advise, not that they care about it ...

Let me be precise, I mean the Triune God.

You know, the Son said sth about the Father keeping the Universe going even after Friday Nightfall in Jerusalem TZ (John 5:17 takes place some hours, less than 24, later).

Apocalypticae Considerationes


Apocalypticae Considerationes · More on Apoc. 13:18

On my current main blog (third so far), there actually is a label with that name. It's apocalypticae considerationes where only the first four posts were before Covid, 71 after the pandemic was announced.


How to Actually Read the Book of Revelation | The Jimmy Akin Podcast
Jimmy Akin | Sts. Peter and Paul, 29 June 2026
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5N1Ekl3AtII


5:50 Apoc. 11 "spiritually Sodom and Egypt" ... would we be right to look outside Apocalypse to Genesis 19 and to Exodus to find out the social mores of end times earthly Jerusalem?

Does it seem to match anything in current news?

6:06 If St. Hilary of Poitiers had had newspapers, his exegesis would have been newspaper exegesis.

His newspapers would also have been conspiracy leaning.

He considered that the Antichrist was in the wings somewhere in the Byzantine court.

6:13 What the audience would have had in mind is not always automatically true of either early-times records or end times prophecy.

The audience of Moses' Genesis 6 and 11 could not have known of Mahabharata or Göbekli Tepe, yet that seems to perfectly fit "men of renown" before the Flood and the geography of Genesis 11:2.

The audience of John could not have known of ASCII. But it allows a gematria to be made in the most common, i e Latin alphabet, without skipping letters.

St. Irenaeus, I think it was, or possibly St. Hippolytus, said he ruled out Latin bc the letters mostly don't have numeric value and Hebrew because it's too abstruse. Today Greek is if possibly even more abstruse than Hebrew, and ASCII allows Latin letters, the now most used ones, to give full numeric translations of each syllable and letter.

Ruling out this bc the first audience is forgetting God isn't limited to the first audience, if it's not about sth they have to apply directly. Like the first audience of Matthew 6:7 were supposed to apply that immediately and would have known things like the finishing prayer in Velleius Paterculus, but be totally ignorant of "Allah's 99 names" and except for St. Thomas a few decades later of Hindu mantras ... unless even that is an innovation in a later reorganised Hinduism. But Genesis 6 and Apoc 13 left nothing to immediately apply.

8:27 Can you give even one Roman Catholic ruling from prior to Vatican II that says prophecy or early-times records (aka prehistory and to those ancients even more ancient history) needs to be interpreted as the first audience must have done?

Like Pontifical Biblical Academy, Holy Office, and so on.

A grade above Scheben or Ott, who had imprimatur, but each was only used in some seminaries ...

12:51 Daniel.

And the fourheaded leopard is Greece. Whatever was fourheaded about Greece in Hellenistic times, I can make a case for four heads in the end times.

Greece at this time worshipped Hercules very much and practised Stoicism.

So, we would expect ultra-masculine societies with sodomy issues, and has a huge fad for Immanuel Kant.

Judaism. Islam. Calvinism. Freemasonry.

Also, Greece compared to Rome had a more totalitarian and societally fixed education standard (Antonine Rome had full liberty in school choice, legally). All of the four have too precise criteria of maturity and tend to favour very centralised schooling.

You notice I didn't say "Protestantism" but "Calvinism" ... Lutherans and Anglicans in home base are very liberal theologically, basically a kind of neo-pagans. They score lioness of Babylon / lion as mouth.

It can be noticed, England and Scotland no longer have Elisabeth and Denmark no longer has Margarethe, though she is still alive. In the case of Elisabeth, one can argue that eagles wings being taken off her back was loosing the Empire of India (or in a longer sense, UK losing the US after 1776), being forced to stand was being forced to take a coronation oath, because someone else was supposed to be king, and being given the heart of a man could either be taken in a very modern sense, Prince Philip "didn't worship her, only the ground she walked on" ... or in an ancient sense, parallel to Nebuchadnezzar getting sane, if she saw Protestantism doesn't make sense. Or in a somewhat intermediate sense, the World War II version of St. Joan or of Jeanne Hachette. However, the Greek says: καὶ καρδία ἀνθρώπου ἐδόθη αὐτῇ. I presume she took some mental distance from Protestantism, if not from being a kind of Popess for it.

13:38 The ten horns certainly point to Republican and early Caesarian Rome.

Decemviri. Legibus faciundis. Stlitibus whatever the gerund was ... from at least the Gracchi, newly acquired soil for Rome was distributed by this kind of office. And the Twelve Tables were still in force, nominally. Essentially ten kings at a time.

At a certain point the Soviet Union had 12 concurrent Peoples' commissariats, one of them led by Yagoda, NKVD. Народный комиссариат внутренних дел. Would be instructive to see how many KKVD chiefs who were executed or assassinated, like if there were three of them, like Genrikh Yagoda was one.

16:53 The Middle Advent also involves Jesus as now coming in the flesh.

The Eucharist.




Update:

The 1,900 Year Old Number of the Beast Has Finally Been Decoded
Totus Catholica | 1 July 2026
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgE0GB_dehQ


If early Christians considered the Beast as Nero Caesar in Hebrew, why are already Hippolytus and Irenaeus saying the Beast is an end times figure, as yet seen from their time only upcoming, and why does one of them specify that the gematria has to be in Greek, by default since Hebrew is to unknown (like Greek is today) and since Latin (up to ASCII)?

And why were they sure the katekhon of 2 Thessalonians hadn't yet been taken out of the way?

Kirill's and Vladimir's Russia Targets Protestants?


Russia’s War on Protestant Churches
Apologetics Roadshow | 26 June 2026
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGs5xt55VZg


6:59 I also view Baptists as heretical to very inadequately catechised Christians.

I'm not into bombing your churches, if you will call them that.

Russia has a kind of paranoia about the Bible and taking it literally.

Oh, surely the Orthodox take the Bible literally? Yeah, Vladimir Moss probably does. Vladimir Putin doesn't, nor do the ecclesiastics he is surrounded with, like Kirill.

Hence, a paranoia about taking the Bible literally.

7:40 I just read along the text a bit quicker than you read aloud.

The Church utilises the concept of "symphonia" ...

OK. Symphonia or in Roman Catholic terms "Christendom" or "Constantinism" or its avatars "Clovisism" and "Volodimirism" for Francia and Ukraine is rooted in Matthew 28 verse ... tada, drum roll, yes, I was right ... 19.

Symphonia makes very good sense for a situation like under the last Czar and was even then abused against Ukrainean Uniates. But under the last Czar, the minimum age for marriage was 15 / 13 (after previously having been 14 / 12, like in Roman Catholicism), and abortion was banned.

In current Russia, abortion is legal, but marrying before 18 / 18 in most regions still isn't.

Under the Czar, sodomy was legally punishable, but that was not enforced. Under Putin, homosexuality is even on that level legal, but tolerance is not fully enforced. Legalise a thing to get a category of people bullied for doing it ... (or for having an unmerited reputation, which cannot be tested since the charge isn't a criminal one).

So, the current Russian state is very much less Christian than that of the Czars.

Kirill's "symphonia" makes zero sense, and it could be a good thing to show symphonia for a Christian state (if there were one) actually opposed to Kirill's and Putin's Russia.

By "Francia" I mean what Germans call "Frankenreich" ... Germany, Switzerland, Austria, BeNeLux, Liechtenstein, Monaco and Northern Italy added to France / Frankreich.

13:24 That's interesting.

Perhaps a decade ago, I had Jay Dyer among my FB friends ...

No longer the case on either of my profiles.

He's also a kind of guy who doesn't allow a wikipedia page, despite being a public figure ...

15:33 ROCOR isn't unified now.

Some have made and some haven't made peace with Patriarchate of Moscow.

Vladimir Moss is also ROCOR, but clearly not a Putin fan. Nor a Kirill fan.

THIS ONE ARGUMENT ENDS PROTESTANTISM!

There is actually a refutation of Sola Scriptura in the NT.

Luke 24:27.

Now, I saw you mentioned in a video:

I commented under it, and my comments are also on this post:

If you wish to interact, up to you, I'll be sharing. But seriously, Protestantism isn't about Sola Scriptura, you refute it by Malachi 1:11 and Hebrews 13:10.

Appendix B:

The blame on departure of Palestinian Christians is not certain to be just on Hamas. John Kiriakou, who thinks Netanyahu is the Antichrist, blames Israel:

I respectfully disagree with John Kiriakou on who the Antichrist is.

If one of the Church Father characteristics of the Antichrist is, he's an apostate from Christianity, he needs to be ... baptised. Netanyahu isn't.

"Four" Criteria of the Messiah


I gave my solution at 1 minute fifteen seconds into the video, before hearing his:


The #1 Jewish Objection to Jesus...Falls Apart
HIGHWAY 53 - by Jeff Morgan | 26 June 2026

1:15 World peace is a conflation of two different prophecies.

1) Disarmament and reconciliation of Judah and Ephraim, fulfilled in Christian Palestinians since Acts 2 and Acts 8 (yes, they spoke Aramaic back then, they only switched to Arabic after the failure of the Crusades, whil Muslim Palestinians were somewhat faster).
2) The "word of peace" shall go out to the nations.

Doesn't say it will be obeyed. Just that it will be taught.

The three others are singly fulfilled.

A) Jesus tore down and built up the Third Temple (which He had created for Himself in His Mother's Womb)
B) The exiles fathered on Pentecost (and the direction of all four corners of the "earth" or mainland are represented)
C) Catholicism is knowledge of God, and it is, as the name implies (kath holon ten gen) universal.
