>#1 - HIS NAME
> Revelations 13:18 "Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count

>Six hundred threescore and six". According to onomastics (the study of

>'prince' can be taken literally.

>#3a - HIS LINEAGE
>Riddle of the Seven Kings, (the 3rd riddle): In the Book of Revelation,
>Chapter 17, Verses 10-11, it says, "There are seven kings. Five were, one
>is and one is to be. The Beast is the eighth and of the seven." There were

>#4 - HIS COAT OF ARMS / CREST - THE DOG, LION, & UNICORN
>Prince Charles' coat of arms and crest was designed for him by the British
>College of Heraldry, using a system of guidelines over 500 years old. It
>contains ALL the Biblical symbols of the Antichrist. It has a dog supported
>by a roaring lion and a unicorn, (called a wild beast with a straight horn,

>#4b - HIS COAT OF ARMS / CREST - THE BEAST
>Revelations 13:2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his
>feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and
>the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. The
>composite beast of Revelation 13:2, with the head of a lion, body of a

>Charles. It is on his Coat of Arms. It represents the emperors of the Holy
>Roman Empire. These are the animal symbols for France, the leopard;
>Germany, the Bear; and England, the lion. These nations represented the
>western arm of the Holy Roman Empire. His Coat of Arms contains ten
>heraldic beasts, which is a first for the British Monarchy. All previous
>British Monarchs had either three or six, but none have ever had ten.
>
>#4c - HIS COAT OF ARMS / CREST - THE RED DRAGON
>Revelations 13:2 also says, "And the dragon gave him his power and his
>throne and great authority." The dragon is "symbolic" to others, but not to
>Prince Charles. He has a red dragon on his coat of arms. It comes from the
>flag of Wales, and it is in this title, Prince of Wales, that Charles is
>heir-apparent to the throne of Great Britain. At his coronation
>(investiture as Prince of Wales) in 1969, he sat on a chair with a large
>red dragon emblazoned on it. During the ceremony, his mother Queen
>Elizabeth II said, "This dragon gives you your power, your throne and your
>authority." His response to her was, "I am now your Leige-man, and worthy
>of your earthly worship." Leige is an old English word meaning "Lord". "I
>am now your Lord-man, and worthy of your earthly worship." Another
>reference to the red dragon is in Revelations 12:3 And there appeared
>another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads
>and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. Prince Charles is the ONLY
>person in the world to whom "And the dragon gave him his power and his
>throne and great authority" can literally be applied to!
>
>#4d - HIS COAT OF ARMS / CREST - THE ORDER OF THE GARTER
>Another symbol on Prince Charles' Coat of Arms is that of The Order of the
>Garter. The Order of the Garter is the parent organization over Free
>Masonry, world-wide. When a man becomes a 33rd Degree Mason, he swears

>#4e - HIS COAT OF ARMS / CREST - OTHER SIGNS

>#8 - THE ASSASSINATION OF PRINCESS DIANA

I agree, completely ridiculous, but interesting nonetheless. The following
comments aren't directed at Stan, just statements on the body of the
forwarded email.

Yes, ridiculous at first glance, and second glance, and so on. What is
even more ridiculous is that these groups refer to these numerological
coincidences as "mathematical proofs" of the identity of an "antichrist".

Numerology only works if one sets up a favorable framework. Into this
framework one can place a theory or idea to be given significance,
something to be proven or believed. 

I concede that this antichrist framework is only somewhat interesting in
that it uses 'gematria' and the ancient Hebrew numeral system to "prove"
its case. Gematria is a strange sort of number magic which arose from the
fact that the numeral system was made up of the letters of the alphabet.
Early civilizations quickly realized the dangers this close relationship
of math and language could cause, and evidently is still causing to this
day. :) I'm sure the unfortunate ancient citizen whose name added to 666
would agree.

Mathematics would have moved forward much more quickly had early
mathematicians not been faced with this mixture of numbers and language.
