I am always deeply suspicious of anything like this. An example: a few
years ago (before the collapse of the Soviet Union) someone wrote a
book along these lines in which they claimed, by using a similar process,
that Mikhail Gorbachev was the Antichrist (666, and all that). I never
read the book (since I was suspicious); but I guess the author(s), IF they
actually believed what they wrote, must be feeling a bit sheepish now.
Of course, the book probably made them a fair bit of cash, so maybe they
don't feel so bad.
I did come across a claim that a Jewish rabbi, in the first or second
century, I think, used numerology in Genesis to calculate with uncanny
accuracy the length in days of the lunar month. This would have been very
important for them to know, as their religious calendar is based on the
lunar month. I haven't been able to check out if this is really so; has
anyone else come across this? It strikes me as unlikely, as up to that
time they must have managed perfectly OK without that accuracy - but who
knows?
The following is intended for your amusement only. It was posted to me
by a friend of mine some time ago; you may have seen it before.

Since most of us are using MICROSOFT products here, here are a few facts to ponder...
Do you know that Bill Gates' REAL name is William Henry Gates III? His official REAL
name NOW, is BILL GATES III. So, what's so eerie about this name? OK, if you take all
the letters in Bill Gates III and then convert it in ASCII code and then ADD up all the
numbers... you will get 666, which is the number of the beast !
Coincidence?
Take WINDOWS 95 and follow the SAME procedure. You will get 666 too !
The same goes for MS-DOS 6.21 !
Okay, that's the first part, now for the second part, for those of you
fellas who still have the OLD Excel 95 (not Office 97) then try this
out: (This is where you stop work for the day)
1. open a new file
2. scroll down until you see row 95
3. click on the row 95 button, this highlights the whole row
4. press tab, to move to the second column
5 .now, move your mouse and click on help THEN about Microsoft Excel
6. press ctrl-alt-shift and click on the tech support button
simultaneously
7. A WINDOW WILL APPEAR, TITLE : THE HALL OF TORTURED SOULS. This is
really eerie okay...it has a DOOM style format and you can walk all
around the hall... and on the sides of the walls are the names of the
tortured souls...
8. NOW WALK UP THE STAIRS AND THEN COME BACK DOWN, FACE THE BLANK WALL
AND THEN TYPE IN EXCELKFA.
This will open the blank wall to reveal another secret passage, walk
through the passage and DO NOT fall off, when you get to the end, you
will see something really really eerie... At this point in time,
countless witnesses all over the world have verified this point...it's
really an eye opener. It could be a joke by MS programmers or is it?
Wouldn't be surprise if Bill Gates was "The Third Antichrist", after all
it was already foretold in the Bible that someone powerful would rise up
and lead the world to destruction. More than 80% of the world's
computers run on Windows and DOS including those at the Pentagon]) ..
"He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and
slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that
no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of
the beast or the number of his name. This calls for wisdom. If anyone
has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is
man's number. His number is 666."
....Revelations 13:16-18
Something for you to think about. The Bible, in the Book of Revelation
says that without the sign of the beast one would not be able to buy,
sell, do business transactions, etc. My question to you now is this.....
"Is Internet now a necessity in doing business? The Internet also bears
the sign....Note that the Internet is also commonly known as the World
Wide Web or WWW.....One other way we write W is V/ (VI), so ......
W W W
VI VI VI
6 6 6
Isn't all commerce moving onto the Internet? (i.e. buying/selling goods,
business transactions). Isn't Microsoft always on the move to have a
monopoly when it comes to software technology? And now the Internet?
Revelations also says that the mark of the beast will be carried on one's
Hand and one's forehead.
For those of you who are lazy and won't pull out your ASCII tables, here
ae the sums all neatly laid out for you.
The real name of "the" Bill Gates is William Henry Gates III.
Nowadays, he is known as Bill Gates (III), where III means the order of
third (3rd).
By converting the letters of his current name to the ASCII-values, and
adding his (III), you get the following:
B 66
I 73
L 76
L 76
G 71
A 65
T 84
E 69
S 83
I 1
I 1
I 1
------
666 THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST.
Some might think ask, "How did Bill Gates get so powerful?"
Coincidence? Hard work?
Or just the beginning of mankind's ultimate and total enslavement?
Before you decide, consider the following:
MS-DOS 6.21
77+83+45+68+79+83+32+54+46+50+49 = 666
WINDOWS95
87+73+78+68+79+87+83+57+53+1= 666
