Reading The Two Babylons by the late Alexander Hislop: Chapter VII Section V The Name of the Beast, The Number of His Name The Invisible Head of the Papacy.
Dagon and the Pope being now identified, this brings us naturally and easily to the long-sought name
and number of the beast, and confirms, by entirely new evidence, the old Protestant view of the subject.
The name "Lateinos" has been generally accepted by Protestant writers, as having many elements of
probability to recommend it. But yet there has been always found a certain deficiency, and it has been
felt that something was wanting to put it beyond all possibility of doubt. Now, looking at the subject
from the Babylonian point of view, we shall find both the name and number of the beast brought home
to us in such a way as leaves nothing to be desired on the point of evidence. Osiris, or Nimrod, whom
the Pope represents, was called by many different titles, and therefore, as Wilkinson remarks, he was
much in the same position as his wife, who was called "Myrionymus," the goddess with "ten thousand
names." Among these innumerable names, how shall we ascertain the name at which the Spirit of God
points in the enigmatical language that speaks of the name of the beast, and the number of his name? If
we know the Apocalyptic name of the system, that will lead us to the name of the head of the system.
The name of the system is "Mystery" (Rev 17:5). Here, then, we have the key that at once unlocks the
enigma. We have now only to inquire what was the name by which Nimrod was known as the god of the
Chaldean Masteries. That name, as we have seen, was Saturn. Saturn and Mystery are both Chaldean
words, and they are correlative terms. As Mystery signifies the Hidden system, so Saturn signifies the
Hidden god. *
* In the Litany of the Mass, the worshippers are taught thus to pray: "God Hidden, and
my Saviour, have mercy upon us." (M'GAVIN'S Protestant) Whence can this invocation
of the "God Hidden" have come, but from the ancient worship of Saturn, the "Hidden
God"? As the Papacy has canonised the Babylonian god by the name of St. Dionysius,
and St. Bacchus, the "martyr," so by this very name of "Satur" is he also enrolled in the
calendar; for March 29th is the festival of "St. Satur," the martyr. (CHAMBER'S Book of
Days)
To those who were initiated the god was revealed; to all else he was hidden. Now, the name Saturn in
Chaldee is pronounced Satur; but, as every Chaldee scholar knows, consists only of four letters, thus--
Stur. This name contains exactly the Apocalyptic number 666:--
S = 060
T = 400
U = 006
R = 200
If the Pope is, as we have seen, the legitimate representative of Saturn, the number of the Pope, as head
of the Mystery of Iniquity, is just 666. But still further it turns out, as shown above, that the original
name of Rome itself was Saturnia, "the city of Saturn." This is vouched alike by Ovid, by Pliny, and by
Aurelius Victor. Thus, then, the Pope has a double claim to the name and number of the beast. He is the
only legitimate representative of the original Saturn at this day in existence, and he reigns in the very
city of the seven hills where the Roman Saturn formerly reigned; and, from his residence in which, the
whole of Italy was "long after called by his name," being commonly named "the Saturnian land." But
what bearing, it may be said, has this upon the name Lateinos, which is commonly believed to be the
"name of the beast"? Much. It proves that the common opinion is thoroughly well-founded. Saturn and
Lateinos are just synonymous, having precisely the same meaning, and belonging equally to the same
god. The reader cannot have forgotten the lines of Virgil, which showed that Lateinos, to whom the
Romans or Latin race traced back their lineage, was represented with a glory around his head, to show
that he was a "child of the Sun." Thus, then, it is evident that, in popular opinion, the original Lateinos
had occupied the very same position as Saturn did in the Mysteries, who was equally worshipped as the
"offspring of the Sun." Moreover, it is evident that the Romans knew that the name "Lateinos" signifies
the "Hidden One," for their antiquarians invariably affirm that Latium received its name from Saturn
"lying hid" there. On etymological grounds, then, even on the testimony of the Romans, Lateinos is
equivalent to the "Hidden One"; that is, to Saturn, the "god of Mystery." *
If STUR is the 666, we find it in the Hebrew Alpha/Numerical Gematria. Samekh=60; Tav=400; Vav=6; Resh=200 ----Total 666
Now, Lateinos is equivalent to Saturn/Stur, what does Lateinos mean? In Greek Alpha/Numerical Gematria we find:
Lambola=30;
Alph=1;
Taw=300;
Epsilon=5;
iota=10;
Nu=50;
Omnicron=70;
Sigma=200
----Total 666
As Christians we have a mixed bag of some of the Hebrew text and some of the Greek text, Latin and Aramaic all translated into English.
John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word" What does "Word" mean? "Logos" specifically (with the article in John) the Divine Expression (that is, Christ).
Rev_1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
Isa_46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
First verse in the Bible is "rê’shı̂yth"/ראשׁית "In the beginning" Last verse in the Bible Revelation 22:21 "And the grace of our Lord Jesus" Both "in the beginning /"rê’shı̂yth"/ראשׁית" and "grace/charis/χάρις" have a gematria of 911. They are bookends. However, in all honesty, in the Hebrew text, reshiyth has a very large Bet which is the Son was from the beginning and grace was also from the beginning, and in the ending, grace of our Lord Jesus, the Son. Our LORD (YHWY) and His Son (Yah's Salvation/Yeshua) are so amazing and what they have hidden in the WORD.
