The Antichrist: Revealed!


Well, some time has gone by since my last blog post, and that's partly due to my having decided to wait and see if the Lord's prophecies would truly come to pass. It's also partly due to Satan attacking my body with illness - perhaps because he wants to prevent this blog post from ever reaching the Internet. Nevertheless, here I am, and not only has everything transpired the way the Lord told me it would, it has done so even more spectacularly than I expected. I arose healed of my illness this morning by the grace of God through faith, and now I am ready to reveal what the Lord has told me regarding the identity of the Antichrist.

First, some background. As I pointed out in my earlier blog post, we know that Satan's true demonic number is not 666, the number of Nero, but 616, the number of Caligula, and we know this not only from scholarly evidence, but also because Caligula claimed to be God - the defining character of the Antichrist - which Nero, for all his many faults, never did. We also know that Satan has the power to obfuscate scripture in subtle ways (without having the actual power to truly change God's Almighty Word, of course), so that it becomes difficult if not impossible for even an expert Bible scholar to truly know what the identity of the Antichrist truly is. With these evidences in mind, it is now time to reveal the identity of the Antichrist to you all.

The Antichrist is Donald Trump!

And now, the evidence.

There is scant evidence in English for the name Donald Trump equating to the number 616, or even 666. If one assigns a number to each letter of the English alphabet, 1 through 26, and calculates Donald John Trump's number, one gets only to 185. In the Greek language, numbers increased by higher factors after 10, so that they became 10, 20, 30, and so forth. But if one does that with English, one gets far too high a value. The name Trump alone amounts to 700. Plus, that's stretching things. Modern English uses the Arabic numbering system, just like all of today's languages do, and it's unfair to apply ancient Greek standards to today's American English. Nevertheless, it's interesting to note that if you include the definition of Trump with Donald's name, you get something interesting. "Donald John Trump, highest ranking supremacy suit card in a deck," just happens to add up to 616. That's a severe stretch, but it's also an odd coincidence.

But now let's take a look at something far, far more interesting. Donald Trump's true ancestral last name, the name of his German father before he legally changed it, is Drumpf. This is confirmed through many sources, including Donald himself. That name has great significance, because it is not only his true name, it is the one that betrays his identity.

Caligula is an interesting name. It comes from the Roman word caligae, which was a kind of military footwear the soldiers wore. When Caligula was a boy, he spent some time with his father, Germanicus, on the military front lines. His father gave him a small military outfit, complete with small military boots, just his size. The Roman soldiers found this charming, and named the boy "Caligula," which literally meant, "Little Boots." It would be a name he would retain for the rest of his life. For reference, here's a picture of what caligae looked like:

Now we can juxtapose this information with the name Drumpf, because it too is associated with footwear. In the lower plains German, no longer spoken today, the word for sandals was "drumpfen." The name comes from the meaning of the word, drumpf, which was literally the name of the slapping sound the sandals made when you walked. ("Drumpf... drumpf... drumpf... drumpf...") Today, we might use the term, "flip-flops." Same thing. But drumpfen was also used to refer to sandal like footwear, even when they didn't make the characteristic "drumpf" sound when walking, because they laced all the way up.

Here are modern examples of what drumpfen look like.


These styles of footwear, reminiscent of the old Roman caligule, are commonly known today as bierkenstocks, and the word drumpfen has gone out of style.

But a child's sandal, in an odd twist of linguistic etymology in the Old Low German, was not "keine drumpfen," but simply referred to in the singular instead. That's right - drumpf!

That's right! Donald Trump's true historical name literally means little boots!

And we know that the number of Revelation, 616, pertains to Caligula. It was shown previously:

First, Aramaic/Hebrew:
G S Q L G S Q S R
3 60 100 30 3 60 100 60 200 Total: 616

Not bad. Now let's try it in Greek:
G A I O S K A I S A R
3 1 10 70 200 20 1 10 200 1 100 Total: 616

It was only by an accident of birth that I knew about the Drumpf-Caligula connection. Being the American-born son of German immigrants who hailed from the same area of Germany that Trump's parents came from, I had suspected that the Lord reminded me about Ompa's old shoes as a sign from above. But I wasn't absolutely certain that the Lord had indeed shown me a sign.

Until May 3rd.

We now know who the Antichrist is! And we also know that he has exhibited powers upon the Earth, mostly in the form of mind-control! With only 32% of the Republican vote, he secured the nomination. Then, used his mind-powers to subdue his final opponents, Ted Cruz, and John Kasich. Already, he has put a spell upon the minds of his previous opponents, most of whom spoke against him in the strongest of terms. Now, they're his lap-dogs! It was no accident that John Christie changed his allegiance as quickly as he did. He was transformed into a puppet through Satanic Power! Now, similar things have happened to Rick Perry, Ben Carson, and even John McCain and Paul Ryan are beginning to fall under Trump's Satanic spell. The Bush family is holding out. WTMJ radio host Charlie Sykes is resisting. But they won't last long.

In the end, Trump will devour their minds as well. Hillary will not be able to stand. Her mind was given over to Lucifer long ago.

Trump will be our next president.

I may not live long after this post. The enemy has been attacking my body. But I have persevered thus far, and I have gotten this crucial message to you. If the Lord calls me home, I will rest in the reward of my Lord Jesus Christ, knowing I did my utmost for His highest.

Pray for us all, my brothers and sisters in Christ! The END TIMES ARE UPON US!

Let us hope that we are not too late to save as many as we can before it is too late!

Characteristics Of The Antichrist


When the Antichrist manifests himself, how will we recognize him? Normally, here's where some pretender says that we will because of A, B, or C. And there are items like this which are detailed in the Bible, and yes, we can use these to recognize who the Antichrist is. But the sad truth is, when he arrives, most Christians won't recognize him. Because the Antichrist will deceive the faithful, and only the most dedicated of Christians will resist his power and authority (Revelation 13:8). We also know that the Antichrist will come to power because of a falling away from the truth (2 Thessalonians 2:3), so people will not be cognizant of what is true and false. With their perceptions impaired, they won't be able to see the Antichrist for who he is. Remember in my earlier blog post I pointed out that Satan will make sure that the Antichrist's appearance will not be obvious. For this reason, we must be very aware that his appearance will be wholeheartedly endorsed by many ministers, some of whom are highly trusted. (Those who said that he would appear as a Black Democrat were completely delusional.)

That having been said, for those with the perception to see, here are some of the key signs we will be able to recognize the Antichrist according to the Bible.

First, we will know he is a liar. (1 John 2:22) We know he will deceive people, and speak great blasphemies (2 John 7, Revelation 13:5).

Second, we know he will oppose God (2 Thessalonians 2:4). The very essence of the Antichrist is that he will deny Christ and set himself above him (2 Thessalonians 2:4, 1 John 2:22, 1 John 4:2-4, Revelation 13:6,7).

Third, we know that Satan will give him power. He will possess power all over the world, and all the world will be in wonder of him Revelation 12:9, Revelation 13:2-7.

But fourth and most importantly, we know that he will use signs and wonders to deceive people (2 Thessalonians 2:9-11). What signs and miracles these might be are not specifically detailed, but we know that he uses them to deceive people (Revelation 13:14). The way I see it, the reasonable interpretation of these facts is that the Antichrist will exhibit a kind of mind control. Those who do not walk closely with God will be susceptible to his will. So, if a large number of people begin to follow him, irrationally, and illogically...

We might know him by that sign!

We know him by other signs, of course. He is one who proceeds from a realm with 7 hills, and 10 kingdoms (Revelation 13:1). Also, one of the kingdoms, a "dragons's head" as it were, receives a deadly wound and comes back to life (Revelation 13:3). But these will be detailed in a later blog post.

By now, however, many of you out there should begin to guess who it is I'm talking about. Because yes, the Antichrist is here.

And he's beginning to come into power!

666 vs 616: Which is true?



In recent years, it has come to light that a fragment from Papyrus 115 from the Oxyrhynchus archaeological site, known to be the oldest copy of the Book of Revelation, shows that the Number of the Beast is 616, rather than 666. This has led some scholars to believe that 616 is the true Number of the Beast. Others, convinced that God would not allow his Word to be altered by mere men, insist that the authors got it right the first time, and that 666 is the true Satanic number. Which view is true?

Let us begin with a very safe assumption. The Antichrist, whomever he may be, will not wish his presence to be revealed in an obvious way. He would do all he could, even at a very early time, to conceal his true identity, and being associated with the number 666 would be a dead giveaway to the Lord's faithful. But how could he conceal who he is?

Could he truly interfere with scripture in order to accomplish this?

Let us remember that Satan is the Lord of this world until our Savior returns. That means that all that is upon it, even books, are within his control.

Even the Bible?

Well, not quite. The Lord has his hedge of protection upon the Scriptures, of course. But all one needs to do is pick up two different versions of the Bible, the King James and the New International Version, say, to see that the interpretations vary widely. The Bible is God speaking to Man, and it is then that flawed humans are capable of making mistakes. God's word is immutable. But Man is susceptible to temptation. For Satan to change the Bible, all he had to do was trick mankind into changing it for him! Yes! It seems blasphemous to admit, but God's hedge of protection upon the Bible is only absolute when it pertains to the main message of Jesus' salvation. Everything else is able to be twisted by Satan to his own ends - by tempting the human scholars who copy and distribute it. And this is why denominations are fragmented all over Christianity, unable to agree on anything except the main message of Jesus' sacrifice to redeem mankind. They are confused on every point, except that Jesus death and resurrection saved us all.

The proof, as they say, is in the pudding.

Now, that's a radical shift for most people to accept, I realize! Biblical literalism is the biggest and most powerful golden calf within Christianity, and has been ever since Martin Luther first forged it. Kicking over that particular sacred cow will enrage some. But in order to understand Biblical prophecy, it is necessary to untangle the confusing mess which is caused by different versions of such prophecy, and that means facing the hard truth that it really is a mess. We might wish God had left us with a nice, clean trail to follow. But that was clearly not in His plan.

Those who are willing to accept this may read on. Those who are not may stop here. Decide right here and now if you wish to know God's most colorful mysteries, or if you would rather retreat to the safety of black and white. It is your choice.

And now, I am assuming because you are continuing to read this, that you have chosen to journey down the rabbit hole with me. Good! Because what this blog will reveal is truly magnificent, and the Lord meant such truths to be revealed only at this time, the very Last Days!

Yes, Satan did interfere with the number associated with the Mark of the Beast. That number was, in fact, 616, and it identified the Antichrist who was contemporary with John the Revelator. That man was, of course, Caligula.

During Caligula's reign as Caesar, he instituted many programs to have his own image replace those of the gods worshiped at various temples. He referred to himself as Jupiter (or Jove). And yes, he set himself as the God of the Jews as well. To the early Christians, he presented himself as the incarnation of their Jesus. Truly, the Antichrist, if there ever was one! The man who pretended to be the Christian God!

Let's check the math. Using Greek and Hebrew/Aramaic letters to check who Caligula was, numerically, we get the following:

First, Aramaic/Hebrew:
G S Q L G S Q S R
3 60 100 30 3 60 100 60 200 Total: 616

Not bad. Now let's try it in Greek:
G A I O S K A I S A R
3 1 10 70 200 20 1 10 200 1 100 Total: 616

Bingo! It works either way!

But Satan is crafty. As earlier stated, he could fool humans into altering the Bible for him by tempting them to do so. And that's exactly what he did! After the death of Caligula, Claudius became Emperor, and following Claudius, came Nero. Now, Nero wanted to built a new coliseum, but the poor housing districts were in the way. By deliberately starting a fire which burned those dilapidated buildings to the ground, and blaming the Christians for it, he cleared the way for his new building project. Christians were systematically arrested and, on occasion, killed for sport. Although it is a matter of conjecture just how common it was to see Christians thrown to the lions, if at all, the Christians were certainly persecuted by Nero.

So could he have been the Antichrist? The early Christians certainly thought so! And so they changed the text of their scriptures to reflect that Nero was the Antichrist after all. Certainly, they knew about the "telescoping effect" of prophecy, where the same prophecy foretells two similar events at two different times, much as two mountain peaks can appear close together in the view of a telescope, when in reality one mountain peak is much farther away than the other one. They may have thought this meant that the second Antichrist (whom we are now waiting to witness) may have even appeared! As such, their redaction was not so much altering as it was merely updating! So popular was this view, that years later, Irenaus, writing in the second century, affirmed that 666 was the true Number of the Beast, and that the 616 version was a copying error. To this day, some theologians still insist that this is true, even though the papyrus fragment showing 616 is much older than any other known copy of Revelation.

The Devil's trickery worked.

Consider, Nero, for all his persecution of Christians, never himself claimed to be the Christian God in the way that Caligula had. He punished Christians for being Christian, but never himself tried to usurp God's own title. He therefore, for all his evils, could not have been the Antichrist. Therefore, the number 666, which is what Nero's name adds up to, is simply not the correct number.

When the Antichrist comes, he will attempt to call himself God. It is the one characteristic that defines him. And we will see in later blog posts how the number 616, and the Roman Emperor Caligula, play important roles in discerning who that person is. Be sure to read future blog posts to learn more about who that may be, because the Lord has revealed this person to me, and I only wait one last sign before I feel confident in revealing his identity to all of you!

Bible Prophecy And Today's News


Greetings to you all, in Jesus' name, and welcome to my new blog!

I suppose this is the culmination of many events which have transpired throughout my life. I was the child prodigy of the late Reverend Geoff Lichtensher when I was 13, and somehow never looked back when it came to the Lord's calling in my life. I attended and graduated North Central Bible College (now called North Central University) back in 1992. I was a pastor for 15 years before taking a long sabbatical for health reasons. Now I'm in my late 40's, so it's been nearly 35 years now that I've been a serious student of the Bible, and specifically Bible prophecy. So much has happened over that time span.

And so many people are downright clueless!

Remember Hal Lindsey? Author of 'The Late, Great Planet Earth'? Well, I received my first copy of that book back in 1982, and I've gotten different editions of that book every five years or so ever since. You wouldn't believe the changes Lindsey has made to his predictions over the years! He's had to revise his predictions so frequently that it's quite clear to me (and should be also, to even a casual observer), that he had no idea what on earth he was talking about. And other so-called Bible prophecy "experts" were equally adrift, basically mimicking Lindsey almost to the letter.

How could these "experts" be so wrong, and sell so many books, at the same time?

Well, I think people are entranced by anything which states how confidently it knows the future. We all speculate about the future, and any predictive ability brings with it the potential for great power. It's a sexy topic! Just look at astrology! It predicts nothing, and has a zero percent success rate at actual forecasting. Yet millions of suckers read their horoscopes hoping to find insight into the mystery of what is to come - even though their astrology "prediction" is nothing more than a vague recommendation which could apply to anyone, saying nothing about future events. If that's what bunkum astrology is capable of, just imagine what a purported scripture-prophet can do! Even if that "prophet" is full of it! This explains Lindsey's success.

And it will explain my own. I intend to make zero dollars from the revelations of the Bible I will share with you. If I am wrong, I will fold this blog and bow out, as any false prophet should. But I firmly believe that the Lord has revealed his prophetic scriptures to me. You will see for yourself that the Bible is true, and what the Lord is about to bring forth in the coming years.

I hope many of you will join me on this journey, as I give to you what the Lord has so generously shared with me.


Thank you, and God bless!


John Daniel
