A counterfeit antichrist, a sword of terror, set up by Romanism.
Maometis (Greek) [Muhammad, aka: Abu al Qasim [who was married to the older Catholic Khadija bint Khuwaylid (AD 595 - AD 620); who was a wealthy Roman Catholic, and whose sister was Hala bint Khuwailid, and whose cousin, the son of Khadija's paternal uncle, was Waraqa bin Naufal bin Asad bin 'Abdul 'Uzza, a blind old man, who was a 'christian' convert [likely a practicing gnostic, wherein the gnostic materials in the Qur'an originated], who supposedly read/write the 'scriptures' [gnostic] in Arabic, encouraging 'Muhammad' to receive visions from the 'angel' ['Namus'] calling itself 'Jibril' [supposedly Gabriel [actually Satan] in the cave of Hira, see
Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 62, Number 156 and Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 8, Book 73, Number 33 and

"... a dubiously obscure Latinisation of a Greek transliteration of an Arabic word. ..."
"... Euthymius Zygabenus and Zonarus wrote the name as Maometh and Cedrenus wrote the name Mouchoumet ..."
"In the 1923 book the Number And Names Of The Apocalyptic Beasts, David Thom, rejects "Maometis" as a valid translation, observing that "of the seven different ways in which Muhammad's name is written in Euthymus and the Byzantine historians, not one is the orthography in question." - Interpretations see also 666
I won't even bother with this supposed gematraic '666'. It is vanity. For further materials on Abu al Qasim, perhaps I can start another thread on that subject. There is over a thousand pages of documentation on him and the Qur'an, aHadith, Tafsir, Tarikh, and so on."...

“... One of the most recent views of the name of the beast, from the pen of a Christian writer, we find in Hyponoia, or Thoughts on a Spiritual Understanding of the Apocalypse (Lond. 1844). “The number in question (666) is expressed in Greek by three letters of the alphabet: χ, six hundred; 10, sixty; ῍, six. Let us suppose these letters to be the initials of certain names, as it was common with the ancients in their inscriptions to indicate names of distinguished characters by initial letters, and sometimes by an additional letter, as C. Caius, Cn. Cneus. The Greek letter χ (ch) is the initial of Χριστός (Christ); the letter ξ is the initial of ξύλον (wood or tree); sometimes figuratively put in the New Test. for the cross. The last letter, ῍ is equivalent to σ and τ, but whether an s or an st, it is the initial of the word Satanas, Satan, or the adversary. Taking the first two names in the genitive, and the last in the nominative, we have the following appellation, name, or title: Χριστοῦ ξύλου σατανᾶς, ‘the adversary of the cross of Christ,’ a character corresponding with that of certain enemies of the truth described by Paul (Php_3:19).” SEE NUMBER OF THE BEAST. ...”

“... The radicals in Christ are CH, R and ST (X P); Antichrist's monogram personates it, but falls short of it, Ch X St (X) (666). It is curious that the only unquestionable 666 (1Ki_10:14; 2Ch_9:13) in the Old Testament is the 666 talents of gold that came in yearly to Solomon, and were among the correcting influences that misled him. ...”
“... Moreover, the only two Greek nouns in the New Testament, whose value numerically is exactly 666, are precisely the two expressing the grand corrupters of the church and sources of idolatry, "tradition" (paradosis), the corrupter of doctrine, "wealth" or the pursuit of it (euporia, only in Act_19:25), the corrupter of practice (Col_3:5). ...”
“... The Hebrew letters of Balaam (type of the false prophet whose spiritual knowledge shall be perverted to Satanic ends; Rev_2:14 favors this, also the fact that Antichrist mainly shall oppress Israel, Daniel 8; 9; 11; 12) amount to 666. The Greek letters of Lateinos (Irenaeus), Rome's language in all official acts, amount to 666. ...”
