"And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.  Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six." -Revelation 13:17-18,

Pope John Paul II is the very first Pope in history to actually fulfill this prophecy two fold. As you will soon see below, there are many 'names' to the office of Pope Each of these names do in fact have a numeric value simply because LATIN, the chosen language of Rome, is not only their ALPHABET, it is also their NUMERIC SYSTEM! To this day the Latin "Numeric System"is called, ROMAN NUMERALS. For example, in their alphabet, the letter "I" = 1, and the letter "C" = 100 in Latin.

Take a look at the name "JOHN PAUL II" in Latin...

IOANES PAVLVS SECVNDO
(John Paul II)

Now for the OFFICE OF POPE and their NAMES...

 "The letters inscribed in the Pope's miter are these 'VICARIUS FILII DEI'. which is the Latin for 'VICAR OF THE SON OF GOD.' Catholics hold that the church, which is a visible society, must have a visible head...., as head of the church, was given the title, 'VICAR OF CHRIST'." Our Sunday Visitor, (Catholic Weekly) "Bureau of information," Huntington, Ind., April 18, 1915. (See actual facsimilie of this quote here... )

Since this evidence came forth regarding the title, "Vicarius Filii Dei" and it's obvious connection to the 666 calculation of Revelation. The Roman Church has opted to "teach" it's followers to declare this title bogus. They have gone to great lengths seeking to do just that so as to remove the overwhelming evidence against them. However, this ministry as well as many others have found additional documented facts regarding this title.

 Vicarius Filii Dei, is cited by the rector of Berlin, Andreas Helwig [or Helwich] (1572-1643) in his Antichristus Romanus.

You also might want to take a look at the actual facsimilie of the NOV 15, 1914 edition of OUR SUNDAY VISITOR (A Catholic publication) that openly uses the term Vicarius Filli Dei. It also states that the name Vicarius Filli Dei IS INSCRIBED ON THE POPES MITRE! You can view it here...

New Discovery! Click here to view page 343 of an actual Vatican document (in Latin) "Deusdedit cardinalis ... collectio canonum, ed. a P. Martinucci" where they use the term VICARIUS FILII DEI! For decades they have lied about this title after the truth about 666 came out! Click here to see entire book "digitized" online. (The Latin title on the page "De Libertate Ecclesle Et Rervm Eivs Et Cleri" translated = "the liberty of the Church and her ministers") Also see Deusdedit's bio for further verification and publishing dates.

Not only does that publication show the title, Vicarius Filii Dei, it also explains that it IS considered a valid title as they do not refute that. Instead they attempt to explain why it as a trivial matter that it equals 666.

ANOTHER NEW DISCOVERY!!

Below is more evidence the Vatican does use the title, Vicarius Filii Dei when referring to the man of sin in Rome.

In the 1940's Robert Correia and others sought out to prove Vicarius Filii Dei was an official title of the pope. Here is there story and a link to a document signed by Dr. J. Quasten, S.T.D., professor of Ancient History and Christian Archeology, School of Sacred Theology, Catholic University of America, Washington, DC 1943. Stating that Vicarius Filii Dei and Vicarius Christi are very common for the title of the pope.

First link is the story of how they got the statement and the second is to the actual document they had signed.

Roman Catholic Author Malachi Martin also uses the exact same title for the Pope on pages 114 and 122 of his book, "The Keys of this Blood."

One more note of interest!  Why is it I ask, when you go to the archives of "Our Sunday Visitor" that this particular edition is missing? Why is it oh so difficult to get a copy of page THREE of the Nov 15, 1914 "Our Sunday Visitor?"

It's obvious as you will see below...

-LATIN:
NOTE: This is actually Roman Numerals. The Romans used this for their alphabet and their number system.

VICARIVS FILII DEI
(Vicar of the Son of God)

VICARIVS FILII DEI 
THE LITERAL MEANING: 
VICARIVS - substituting for, or in place of 
FILII - means son 
DEI - means God 

BELOW EXCERPT WAS TAKEN FROM Michael Scheifler's ministry.

"I have recently received what seems to be reliable information that a photo may exist of a papal funeral in St. Peter's Basilica near the beginning of the 20th century, in which the tiara inscribed with Vicarius Filii Dei can be seen. Combined with the above claims of Our Sunday Visitor, this would indicate that it was the funeral of either Leo XIII (1878-1903), or Pius X (1903-1914), and that previous popes probably wore the tiara in question. If anyone can turn up this photo and make it available to me, I will post it in this article."

Eyewitness testimony claims that Pope Gregory XVI (1831-1846) wore the inscribed tiara during the Easter Mass of 1845, and that the word Vicarius was on the top crown, Filii on the middle, and Dei on the lower crown, the words spelled out with jewels.

Another note of interest is, "Vicarius Filii Dei" is NOT the only title of the Popes that equal 666.

-Latin:

DVX CLERI ... translated means Captain of the Clergy 

DVX CLERI
(Captain of the Clergy)

-Latin:

LVDOVICVS ... translated means Vicar of the Court 

LVDOVICVS
(Vicar of the Court)

-Greek:

The ancient Greek word for "the Latin speaking man" is LATEINOS 

Lateinos
(the Latin speaking man)

NOTE: Latin is the official language of the Roman Catholic Church. Church Documents are usually published first in Latin, and then translated from the Latin into other languages. The association of "Lateinos" with 666 was first suggested by Irenæus (ca. 130-202 A.D.) who proposed in his 'Against Heresies' that it might be the name of the fourth kingdom in Daniel 7:7.

Then also Lateinos has the number six hundred and sixty-six; and it is a very probable [solution], this being the name of the last kingdom [of the four seen by Daniel]. For the Latins are they who at present bear rule: I will not, however, make any boast over this [coincidence].

The ancient Greek for "The Latin Kingdom" is HE LATINE BASILEIA.

By the way... there is one more name that = 666. Satan in Greek = TEITAN

TEITAN
(Satan)

-Latin:

The Vatican refers to itself often as...

SANCTA LVX DEI
(Holy light of God)

If you remove all the letters that do not have numeric values, you are left with... SANTAE. If you slide the "N" to the right two spaces like you can in the name "SANTA" you will end up with, "SATANE"  The word SATANE = SATAN in LATIN!

-Latin:

REX LATINVS SACERDOS
(King of the Roman priests)

Pope Paul VI's Signature

Pope Paul VI had a unique way of signing his name. Notice how he would purposely make a strange loop for the letter "P" in his signature. Notice what it looks like when it is inverted.

"The number of his name... count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man... and his number is 666." Revelation 13:17,18

666 in Roman Catholic Hymnal

PAGAN ROME LASTED 666 YEARS!

“2300 years from 457 years before Christ, Daniel's vision will end. 490 years from the same 457 B. C. Christ was crucified and the 70 weeks ended. The fourth kingdom and the last of all earthly kingdoms, was divided into two parts, the first began 158 years B. C. and lasted 666 years to the end of the pagan daily sacrifice abomination, which was 508 A. D. The last number given in Daniel (viz.) 1335 carries us down to the resurrection and will end A. D. 1843. In this last number is included the reign of Antichrist; 1260 years beginning in A. D. 538 and ending A. D. 1798; also the 1290 beginning A. D. 508, and ending A. D. 1798. The remaining 45 years are for the spread of the gospel; the resurrection of the two witnesses; the church to come out of the wilderness, the troublous times; the last great battle; and the second coming of Christ, to raise his people; and reign with them personally the thousand years following. {1833 WiM, ESH 31.1}

“Thus from the considerations mentioned, I have come to the conclusion that this beast called Pagan Rome began when Rome became connected with the Jews, by league 158 years B. C. and lasted until 508 years after Christ making in all 666 years. Then by adding Daniel's 1335 years bringing us down to A. D. 1843. {1833 WiM, ESH 37.2}

What is the history of that time? I answer, that about the year A.D. 476 the Western Empire of Rome crumbled to pieces, and the Pagan nations of the north, crossing the Rhine and the Danube, established ten kingdoms in what was considered the Western Empire. France was the principal kingdom of the ten. These kingdoms were all governed by Pagan kings; and history informs us that in the city of Rome and other places in the empire these Pagan conquerors sacrificed men, women, and children to their supposed deities; and that in the year 496 Clovis king of France was converted and baptized into the Christian faith; and that the remainder of these kings embraced the religion of Christ shortly after, the last of which was Christianized in the year 508, and of course Paganism ceased, having lost its head by the power of the sword, or kings who wield the sword. Here, then, was the accomplishment of two important prophecies--the daily sacrifice abomination taken out of the way, and the Pagan beast receiving its deadly wound by a sword; since which time we have no account of any Pagan rites or sacrifices being offered within the bounds of ancient Rome. How exactly has the word of God been accomplished! How just and true are all the ways of the God of heaven! And how blind are mortals that they cannot see their own destiny in the rise and fall of others! I am astonished sometimes when I reflect on the simple truths of the word of God, the exact fulfillment of the prophecies, that more do not believe, repent, and turn to God. {1842 WiM, MWV2 84.1}

Second. The mystic number of the beast, 666, Rev. xiii. 18, he applies to Pagan Rome. It indicates 666 years, commencing with the league between the Romans and Jews, B. C. 158, and terminates when the pagan sacrifices ceased at Rome, A. D. 508. Third. This period, A. D. 508, he thinks is referred to by Daniel, ch. xii. 11 as the time when the daily sacrifice (or heathen rites) shall be taken away or cease at Rome. From this he reckons 1290 years (idem) for the duration of the abomination that maketh desolate, or the Papal civil power, which terminated in the captivity of the Pope, A. D. 1798. {May 15, 1840 JVHe, HST 32.1}

“Thus, from the considerations mentioned, I have come to the conclusion that this beast calledPagan Rome began when Rome became connected with the Jews, by league 158 years B. C. and lasted until 508 years after Christ, making in all 666 years. Then by adding Daniel's 1335 years, bringing us down to A. D. 1843.  

“I believe the coast is now clear, for the completion of my harmony of chronology. You know that according to Mr. Miller, the number of the beast, or the duration of the pagan power, must be considered equal to 666 years, terminating A. D. 508. And in a former letter I stated to you, as a very extraordinary and unexpected confirmation of my harmony, that from an epoch 43 years before Adam to the above year 508, there are 7 times 666 years; and that from the year 508 to the death-blow of the Ottoman power, in 1840, there are twice 666 years. Is not my harmony, therefore, sealed, or made sure, by the number of the beast?--But in addition to this unexpected confirmation, I have now a second harmony, going strongly to confirm the first. Yours for the "truth, wherever it goes."  E. B. KENRICK.  Cambridgeport, Jan. 3. 1842. {February 1, 1842 JVHe, HST 167.12}
