When the Antichrist does show up?
Which name might he sport to lay claim to the thrones? The number of name…666

Gabriel “warrior of God”
Michael “who is like God”
Immanuel “God with us”
Joshua “Jehovah is salvation”

Not “Claudius”….”lame”, though lame he becomes (Zech 11:17)
Perhaps Augustus “venerable”
Maybe Festus “festival”
Or Pilate “armed with a spear”

I do know that he will claim to be Gods son (NIV leaves this ambiguity, not the only begotten, as the KJV holds that exclusive description for the uncreated Son, Jesus)

He might still try to identify as Lucifer “light bearer”, though that creature is fallen, he still deceives the uninitiated (Isaiah 14), he will quote Scripture (wrongly) and be Patriotic, and appear to love Israel (his land)

Beautiful….he will kick your head in, peaceful, luring you in to his confidence

This majestic creature was on a farm we worked on last week
