Revelation and the anti-Christ

We’re currently studying Revelation in Sunday School class. Great class. It’s made me think about who the anti-Christ will be. The Bible tells us that he will have the number 666.

Some say this was Roman emperor Nero (whose name in Hebrew has six letters). Some thought it was Ronald Reagan (President Reagan’s first, middle and last name had six letters).

To me, 666 tells us two things:

1) Six is the number of imperfection, falling just short of the perfect number seven. This means the anti-Christ will be imperfect and a fraud.

2) The three sixes represent the unholy trinity: Satan the father, the anti-Christ the son and the false prophet the holy spirit.

Who will be the anti-Christ? I don’t know. We’ll find out soon enough.
