666 AND THE POPES


"And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.  Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six." -Revelation 13:17-18,


 


Pope John Paul II is the very first Pope in history to actually fulfill this prophecy two fold. As you will soon see below, there are many 'names' to the office of Pope Each of these names do in fact have a numeric value simply because LATIN, the chosen language of Rome, is not only their ALPHABET, it is also their NUMERIC SYSTEM! To this day the Latin "Numeric System"is called, ROMAN NUMERALS. For example, in their alphabet, the letter "I" = 1, and the letter "C" = 100 in Latin.

Take a look at the name "JOHN PAUL II" in Latin...

Now for the OFFICE OF POPE and their NAMES...

 "The letters inscribed in the Pope's miter are these 'VICARIUS FILII DEI'. which is the Latin for 'VICAR OF THE SON OF GOD.' Catholics hold that the church, which is a visible society, must have a visible head...., as head of the church, was given the title, 'VICAR OF CHRIST'." Our Sunday Visitor, (Catholic Weekly) "Bureau of information," Huntington, Ind., April 18, 1915. (See actual facsimilie of this quote here... clickhere.gif)

Since this evidence came forth regarding the title, "Vicarius Filii Dei" and it's obvious connection to the 666 calculation of Revelation. The Roman Church has opted to "teach" it's followers to declare this title bogus. They have gone to great lengths seeking to do just that so as to remove the overwhelming evidence against them. However, this ministry as well as many others have found additional documented facts regarding this title.

 Vicarius Filii Dei, is cited by the rector of Berlin, Andreas Helwig [or Helwich] (1572-1643) in his Antichristus Romanus. PLUS, if you would like many more documented facts as well as copies of Roman Catholic publications with "Vicarius Filii Dei" displayed within them, see this page...  http://www.aloha.net/~mikesch/666.htm

You also might want to take a look at the actual facsimilie of the NOV 15, 1914 edition of OUR SUNDAY VISITOR (A Catholic publication) that openly uses the term Vicarius Filli Dei. It also states that the name Vicarius Filli Dei IS INSCRIBED ON THE POPES MITRE! You can view it here...clickhere.gif

New Discovery! Click here to view page 343 of an actual Vatican document (in Latin) "Deusdedit cardinalis ... collectio canonum, ed. a P. Martinucci" where they use the term VICARIUS FILII DEI! For decades they have lied about this title after the truth about 666 came out! Click here to see entire book "digitized" online. (The Latin title on the page "De Libertate Ecclesle Et Rervm Eivs Et Cleri" translated = "the liberty of the Church and her ministers") Also see Deusdedit's bio for further verification and publishing dates.

Not only does that publication show the title, Vicarius Filii Dei, it also explains that it IS considered a valid title as they do not refute that. Instead they attempt to explain why it as a trivial matter that it equals 666.

ANOTHER NEW DISCOVERY!!

Below is more evidence the Vatican does use the title, Vicarius Filii Dei when referring to the man of sin in Rome.

Scans of Acta Apostolicae Sedis are now available for the two recent papal decrees that used Vicarius Filii Dei.
I obtained them from the James White Library. 

Bafianae (January 11, 1968), Decree elevating the Prefecture of Bafia, Cameroon, to a Diocese: 
Acta Apostolicae Sedis
, vol. LX (1968), n. 6, pp. 317-319. Scans:
 Title - 317 - 318 - 319.

Adorandi Dei Filii Vicarius et Procurator, quibus numen aeternum summam Ecclesiae sanctae dedit, ...
Honorable Vicar of God's Son and Caretaker, which by divine will has been eternally given the highest rank of the holy Church, ...

Rivi Muniensis (August 9, 1965), Decree creating the Vicariate Apostolic of Río Muni, Equatorial Guinea: 
Acta Apostolicae Sedis
, vol. LVIII (1966), n. 6, pp. 421-422. Scans:
 Title - 421 - 422.

Qui summi Dei numine et voluntate principem locum in Christi Ecclesia, obtinemus, adorandi Filii Dei hic in terris Vicarii Petrique successores, ...
We who the supreme God providentially wills, and maintains, in the principle position over Christ's Church, the honorable Vicars of the Son of God upon this earth - Peter's successors, ...

Above data discovered by Michael Scheifler's biblelight.net ministry


In the 1940's Robert Correia and others sought out to prove Vicarius Filii Dei was an official title of the pope. Here is there story and a link to a document signed by Dr. J. Quasten, S.T.D., professor of Ancient History and Christian Archeology, School of Sacred Theology, Catholic University of America, Washington, DC 1943. Stating that Vicarius Filii Dei and Vicarius Christi are very common for the title of the pope.

First link is the story of how they got the statement and the second is to the actual document they had signed.

  2. The document (Courtesy of Michael Scheifler's biblelight.net)

Roman Catholic Author Malachi Martin also uses the exact same title for the Pope on pages 114 and 122 of his book, "The Keys of this Blood."

One more note of interest!  Why is it I ask, when you go to the archives of "Our Sunday Visitor" that this particular edition is missing? Why is it oh so difficult to get a copy of page THREE of the Nov 15, 1914 "Our Sunday Visitor?"

It's obvious as you will see below...

VICARIVS FILII DEI 

THE LITERAL MEANING: 
VICARIVS - substituting for, or in place of 
FILII - means son 
DEI - means God 


BELOW EXCERPT WAS TAKEN FROM (http://www.aloha.net/~mikesch/666.htm) Michael Scheifler's Bible Light Homepage website.

"I have recently received what seems to be reliable information that a photo may exist of a papal funeral in St. Peter's Basilica near the beginning of the 20th century, in which the tiara inscribed with Vicarius Filii Dei can be seen. Combined with the above claims of Our Sunday Visitor, this would indicate that it was the funeral of either Leo XIII (1878-1903), or Pius X (1903-1914), and that previous popes probably wore the tiara in question. If anyone can turn up this photo and make it available to me, I will post it in this article."

Eyewitness testimony claims that Pope Gregory XVI (1831-1846) wore the inscribed tiara during the Easter Mass of 1845, and that the word Vicarius was on the top crown, Filii on the middle, and Dei on the lower crown, the words spelled out with jewels. See... The Number of his Name.

Another note of interest is, "Vicarius Filii Dei" is NOT the only title of the Popes that equal 666.

NOTE: Latin is the official language of the Roman Catholic Church. Church Documents are usually published first in Latin, and then translated from the Latin into other languages. The association of "Lateinos" with 666 was first suggested by Irenĉus (ca. 130-202 A.D.) who proposed in his 'Against Heresies' that it might be the name of the fourth kingdom in Daniel 7:7.

Then also Lateinos has the number six hundred and sixty-six; and it is a very probable [solution], this being the name of the last kingdom [of the four seen by Daniel]. For the Latins are they who at present bear rule: I will not, however, make any boast over this [coincidence].

Pope Paul VI's Signature

Pope Paul VI had a unique way of signing his name. Notice how he would purposely make a strange loop for the letter "P" in his signature. Notice what it looks like when it is inverted.

Below is his signature

Below is his signature inverted


"The number of his name... count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man... and his number is 666." Revelation 13:17,18
