[QUOTE="AAA, post: 107332, member: 5790"] In case anyone misunderstands the value of what I posted above, I'll elaborate a little. The text of the Old Testament is known as the Masoretic Text. It was introduced to the New Testament between 700-1000 A.D., but originates from thousands of years earlier, much of it from Aramaic and/or Sumerian cuneiform. In 1947, a shepherd boy went chasing after a stray goat near the site of the Qumran to discover the Dead Sea Scrolls written by the Essenes around 300-100 BC. The Dead Sea Scrolls contain every book of the Old Testament with the exception of the Book of Ester. The DSS are a very close (much of it is exact) match to the Masoretic Text. This demonstrates consistency and/or accuracy of the Masoretic Text of the Old Testament and Judaism. It says that not much has changed over the course of so many years and/or between differing sects of Jews. One thing to consider about the Essenes is they were a somewhat 'mystic' and very ancient sect of Jews who were the originators of 'End Times/Apocalyptic' prophecies. Within the DSS was a Hebrew text called "The War Scroll" sometimes referred to as the Essenes Book of Revelation. When comparing The War Scroll to the Book of Revelation written by John on the island of Patmos, there are a few similarities, but otherwise they're rather different. The War Scroll was written around 100-200 BC, while the Book of Revelation by John was written around 95-96 AD. This is a difference of 200-300 years. The odd one out is The Book of Revelation. Everything else is fairly consistent. It says that John plagiarized and altered The War Scroll in Hebrew to produce The (Greek) Book of Revelation in The Bible. In other words; it suggests The Book of Revelation is bullshit and your fabled 'The Antichrist' is something else (...perhaps based on "Belial" and written to correspond with the prophecy of Daniel?). Further, given the cryptic metaphorical ambiguous figurative nature of The Book of Revelation, it stands to reason that a literal interpretation is somewhat unreasonable inaccurate and simplistic. It can be (and is) argued that "The Beast" is not the same as "The Antichrist", that "antichrist" more closely resembles a spiritual concept rather than a single entity; hence "..There are many antichrists in the world..."
