Looming out of the north country, across the border in Canada, Dean Coombs of www.bible-codes.org has brought clarity to the muddle of numerological gematria studies.
For years he's posted reams and reams of explanations concerning his breakthrough understanding of the "handwriting on the wall" that the prophet Daniel interpreted.
I was pretty much convinced he had pinned the number of the beast on Saddam Hussein, until the former Iraqi president slipped from our grasp at his execution.
Coombs points out that Saddam died exactly 1260 + 1260 days after Coombs' discovered the "mene-tekel-uparsin" code. And, note that Saddam was killed on the day that the Muslims say Abraham offered up his son.
Coombs offers up some compelling translations when he passes the scriptures through to his decoder ring:
"O' Mina, rise up!
For you shall cast down the one being mocked---the bland tasting one!
O' Jealousy! {Cf., Ex. 34:14.)
Spit! Spit out the accursed thing! {Revelation 3:16}
O' Powerful Jaw (i.e., the grave and sheol),
Vomit! Vomit out his decay! {Lev. 18:28, Ps. 16:10}"
The "bland-tasting one"? Powerful, nauseating stuff. Nauseating in a good way.
But Coombs now says Saddam is not the antichrist, merely a forerunner of the coming antichrist.
We disagree. Coombs must be unaware of the scripture in Revelation predicting the Beast will "recover from a deadly head wound." Now, if getting your neck snapped by the hangman's noose isn't a deadly head wound, I don't know what is.
It's way too much work to spend years building a case against Saddam and then throw it all away, just because he's dead. It not good stewardship of your gematria codes.
No, sir. Here at Weekly Beastie, Saddam is still on our list of suspects.
And always will be.
