and once in the New
Testament -- REV. 13:18
b. In I
Kings, the
number 666 is the number of talents of gold that King

demon will live in the Anti-Christ giving him a knowledge of the Roman Age
that only someone who lived there
could know.
h. Nero had both

Paul executed.
The "Peace Symbol" which re-appeared in the 1960's was an early Christian
