The Antichrist:
Part 10 of 12 Parts




What is under the abyss? Hades, where the souls of dead people are imprisoned until the day of their judgment. When the body of the Antichrist is brought back to life, it will be brought to life not with the soul that was in it before the infliction of the fatal wound but with the soul of someone who had already lived on the earth and died before John wrote the book of Revelation.

Whose soul will this be?



11 And the beast that was, and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is of the seven; and he goeth into perdition. (ASV)
Revelation 17:11
The Antichrist will arise physically as the seventh Caesar, die of a fatal wound, and be brought back to life (reanimated) as the eighth Caesar. As the eighth Caesar, he will have the body of the seventh and the soul of one of the first five Caesars who suffered unnatural deaths.



18 Here is wisdom. He that hath understanding, let him count the number of the beast; for it is the number of a man: and his number is Six hundred and sixty and six. (ASV)
Revelation 13:18
At the time that John wrote Revelation, Domitian was in power John could not come right out and name the actual name of the Caesar whose soul would reanimate the Antichrist's body, if he did he would have been put to death immediately. So, John signified the name of that Caesar with a number, the number 666.
In the original language of the New Testament, Greek, every letter of the alphabet has a specific number associated with it. To say that the Antichrist's number is six hundred and sixty-six is to say that the numbers corresponding to the letters of the Greek name of that Caesar add up to 666.

Which one of the five Caesar's names is this true for?



22 The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.
The second [epistle unto Timotheus, ordained the first bishop of the church of the Ephesians, was written from Rome, when Paul was brought before Nero the second time.] (KJV)
2 Timothy 4:22
The second epistle unto Timotheus, ordained the first bishop of the church of the Ephesians, was written from Rome, when Paul was brought before Nero the second time. (Superscription to 2 Timothy, KJV)

The fifth Caesar (before Domitian) to die an unnatural death, and the only one of the five for whom the numbers corresponding to his other than name in Greek add up to 666, is none other than Nero.

Nero is the Caesar who initiated the persecution of the Christians by the Roman Empire, throwing them to the lions and burning them as torches.






In the Next Session: we will see how no one before or after is like the Antichrist.
