It’s a interesting perspective. The false prophet the Antichrist and Satan himself counterfeiting as the Holy Trinity. Satan has always sought to replace and counterfeit everything our Creator be.The unholy trinity is the false profit, the antichrist and satan. The first two I mentioned are men yes. Perhaps possessed. If looking for a center I think that would be satan.

Bob bank tellers are trained to detect counterfeit notes. The everyday person doesn’t notice the difference unless of course the counterfeit notes are really bad . The very reason we should always soak and amerce ourselves in the word of God. 2nd Corinthians 2:11 does to come to mind. ( Least Satan should get a advantage of us ; for we are not ignorant of his devices.) Yes Deuteronomy 26 does remind us very much to guard our hearts and not allow roots of temptation to fester that seek to turn our hearts towards others gods and the love of this world.Hello Prim90;
I have never heard it put that way "counterfeiting". The antichrist will counterfeit when we let our guard down. I agree and well said.
I try to wear this around my neck daily;
Deuteronomy 29:18-19, 18 Beware lest there be among you a man or woman or clan or tribe whose heart is turning away today from the Lord our God to go and serve the gods of those nations. Beware lest there be among you a root bearing poisonous and bitter fruit, 19 one who, when he hears the words of this sworn covenant, blesses himself in his heart, saying, ‘I shall be safe, though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart.’ This will lead to the sweeping away of moist and dry alike.
God bless you, Prim90.
I encourage you to join in on the Revelation Study under the doctrinal area of this site. I would love to have your input.Bob bank tellers are trained to detect counterfeit notes.

I believe that the book of Revelation is written in part as an attack on Rome, its government and its emperor. I believe that the number "666" is code for Nero.
I cant see it being Nero, as it is a religious power from then & into the future. Nero is dead & gone, it cannot be a person but something like a institution that existed then & now, a institution can have a man at the top. What institution has denied the one time sacrifice of Christ? 2 Thessalonians 2:4 Who opposes & exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped so he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. Interestingly he is called the son of perdition, 2 Thess 2:3, the only other person called son of perdition was Judas Iscariot, who was a insider of the faith & betrayed Jesus with a kiss.Our pastor touched on Daniel and Revelation today and cited 666 as the coming mark of the beast. I have also heard the theory that the Hebrews were into numerology back then and would assign numbers to letters. As such “666” translated to the name “Nero.” Whether or not that theory is accurate, I don’t know; but it seems plausible.
I emailed the pastor after the sermon and asked what he thought of the Nero connection. He said we would talk more about it next week but believes “666” may have meant Nero but Nero was a preview of something worse yet to come. He likened this to Antiochus Epiphanes in Daniel 8. He desecrated the temple and set himself up as God, but he was a preview of a greater future desecration.
What are thoughts on this?
Interesting!Correct.........Jesus prayed three times in the Garden of Gethsemane before His arrest.
He was placed on the cross at the 3rd hour of the day (9 a.m.) and died at the 9th hour.(3 x 3 = 9)
There were 3 hours of darkness that covered the land while Jesus was suffering on the cross from the 6th hour to the 9th hour.
This is the number of resurrection.
Christ was dead for three full days and nights.
Only three individuals witnessed Jesus' transfiguration on Mount Hermon.
The apostle Paul was an exceptionally well-educated person. In three different occasions he quotes directly from Greek poets (Acts 17:28, 1Corinthians 15:33 and Titus 1:12). He also was privileged to visit the location of God's throne, which is in the third heaven (2Corinthians 12:2 - 4).
The three words that appear only once in Scripture are Reverend (Psalms 111:9), Eternity (Isaiah 57:15) and Grandmother (2Timothy 1:5).
Only 3 people were allowed to ask God anything.
1. They were Solomon (1Kings 3:5),
2. Ahaz (Isaiah 7:11) and, of course,
3. Jesus Christ (Psalm 2:9).
The gifts given to Israel by God were his....
1. law,
2. the land of their inheritance,
3. and their calling (the world to come).
The Bible only mentions the name of three angels....
1. Michael,
2. Gabriel
3. Lucifer.
Interesting!
I think I will look into it!If you have never looked into Bible Mathematics......take the time to consider it.
Dr. Adrian Rogers, a pastor and Bible teacher from Memphis, TN, once challenged the Big Bang Theory by putting the 0 + 0 = 0 equation into more specific terms: "How can nobody plus nothing equals everything?"
How indeed?
I think I will look into it!
Back to the thread.........666 = NERO!
NO!
That was postulated by "Preterists" so that the 2nd Coming of Christ could be said to have happened in 70 AD.
The only way for that to happen was for there to be an Anti Christ then.
There is no doubt that the Coming A/C will with characteristics as like Nero just as did Hitler and Mao and Stalin and all the other antichrists.
I have no idea what 666 means or whether Nero is the antichrist or not, but is it true there is 616 commandments in the bible?
oh yes, sorry, my bad..I thought it was 613 in all.
