The Catholic Encyclopedia admits that XS is one of the standard Christograms:
John saw in his vision one
of those different types of monograms or symbols of Jesus
Christ. There are many Christograms used throughout history, and all of
them use different combinations of the Greek letters in Christos
ΧΡΙΣΤΟS. The monogram that John wrote down is unique using
the Greek letter that symbolizes the serpent
We read below these 3 Greek characters represent the pagan Greek title Christos ΧΡΙΣΤΟS used of all pagan demi-gods after which Jesus Christ was fashioned by Constantine. But this ONE monogram XS includes the symbol of the sea serpent mentioned in Revelation 13:1…
Bear in mind that we are still after the 'Name' of this opposing force
against the True God Yahuah, which, if this Scripture in Rev.13:16-18 has any
reference to it, is linked with this mysterious symbol linked to paganism - the
symbol of the serpent Throughout history, the name Jesus
Christ has been represented by symbols (not number), as John demonstrated by
writing down the symbol
The Catholic Encyclopedia admits that these Christograms are symbols not numbers:
Arithmos (ariqmoV) mistranslated The word arithmos translated as number in Revelation 13:18 should have been translated as symbol or the “figurative representation” that “lifts up” a specific man as to “identify” him by name… such as a mark, pictogram, or monogram. In Revelation 13:18 the Greek word translated number in English is Strong’s #706 arithmos below Arithmos can mean “number” because a number IS a symbol as in the sense of; a symbol that represents a specific calculated measurement of units. Arithmos can also mean; “representation” or “symbol” in the sense of “reckoned up” to identify something. The words “representation” and “symbol” are English synonyms of “number” see… http://thesaurus.com/browse/number Given that John wrote a symbol not a number in context of Revelation 13:18, “symbol” would be a much more accurate English word for the Greek word arithmos. Arithmos as used by John is in the sense of “representation” or “symbol” used to “reckoned up” and identify something in this case The False Messiah’ name. The translators should have used an English word, found a synonym that properly communicated what John was saying. To understand which word (number or symbol) better represents arithmos in this specific case, the translators should have consulted the ROOT WORD of arithmos which is airo. Airo gives us a full sense of what John was saying, given he wrote down a symbol not a number. Arithmos is derived from the Greek root word airo Strong’s #142 below:
The word arithmos in conjunction with its root airo implies a “symbol” that is used “to figuratively lift up; by representation” not a mathematical symbol (number) used to calculate. Arithmos is used this way by John in Revelation 13:18, and means a symbol or a “figurative representation” that “identifies” the name of the False Messiah i.e. a mark, pictogram, or monogram! That is why John did not write down a number after arithmos he put down 3 Greek letters that is used as a symbol that figuratively represents Jesus Christ… The reason the number 666 appears in our English Bibles and
not his symbol
So arithmos, as used by John (in
context) should have been translated as symbol in the sense of a “figurative
representation to lift up and identify” the name of the False Messiah. That
is the full meaning and how it is used by John in Revelation 13:18. John put
down the Greek symbol It is no wonder John warned us we would need “wisdom and insight” to figure this one out because our translators failed us yet again. What John was actually saying in Revelation 13 and the proper translation is this:
This “figurative representation that lifts up to identify”
i.e.
Do these
Greek letters
Throughout history, the Christian Church has used various combinations of Greek letters in Christos ΧΡΙΣΤΟS to represent Jesus Christ as SYMBOLS; Christianity does not now (and has never) used 666 or numbers. Sometimes we see letters in Christos in combination with letters from other titles used as the monogram for Jesus Christ. For instance, the famous chi-rho monogram (a symbol which became part of the official standard of the emperor Constantine) was made from the first two letters of Christos ΧΡΙΣΤΟS. Other symbols use the first and last letter ΧΡΙΣΤΟS, or just the first Χ, and so on.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chi_Rho
The
version of the Christogram used by Constantine
What version of the Christogram did John see in Rev. 13?
Most versions of the Christogram use letters in the Greek word for Christ (ΧΡΙΣΤΟS). The one John saw too represents the first and last letters in Christos ΧΡΙΣΤΟS or XS. XS is one of the most common Christograms throughout history which in medieval times was written as XC as C was used for the Greek letter Sigma. Anytime we see XC in paintings or murals that is equivalent to XS today as we now use S for the letter Sigma. As I mentioned earlier the letters in a Christogram can be
combined with other symbols as well to make the Christogram more meaningful.
Like the one Constantine used The sea serpent is identified In Revelation 13:1 as the
“beast coming out of the sea” or sea serpent and is the source of the power,
authority, and throne of The False Messiah. So when identifying that
beast, John used the first two letters of Christos (ΧΡΙΣΤΟS)
with the
symbol of the serpent
The universal symbol for the serpent throughout the ages and cultures is a serpent in an upright coil:
What John was telling us by using the standard monogram for
Jesus Christ or ΧS is that the “sea serpent” or the dragon
would be the source of the power, great authority and throne of the False
Messiah by inserting the symbol of the serpent
This is exactly what The Apostle Paul told us:
We see the Greek letters such as IC and XC (which is XS today) used as symbols for ‘Jesus Christ’ in painted mosaics the world over clearly identifying Jesus Christ as the beast John saw in Revelation.
“IC XC” as written in the Hellenistic period is a Christogram, a monogram of “Jesus Christ”. When Jesus Christ is written in Greek it looks like this: ΙΗΣΟΥΣ ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ. If we take the first and last letters of ΙΗΣΟΥΣ (“Jesus”) and ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ (“Christ”) we are left with: ΙΣ ΧΣ. Today that would read IS XS. Note: In handwritten Greek during the Hellenistic period (4th and 3rd centuries BC), the epigraphic form of Σ was simplified into a C-like shape, thereby giving us: IC XC. But today “at the time of the end” when Revelation would be understood the Σ is transliterated as the letter S. Therefore all these Christograms painted world-wide if painted today would read IS / XS. XS (ΧΣ) being the Christogram used by John in Revelation 13 as a symbol not a number. These mosaics of Jesus Christ have a serpent symbol above the IC XC (which today would be IS XS). If you move that serpent symbol into the monogram below it you have the exact symbol John wrote in Revelation 13:18. Remember the Greek letter Sigma Σ at the time this mosaic was painted was transliterated as a C. Today the Sigma is transliterated as an S. This is where “wisdom” comes into play: The symbol John saw is literally hidden in plain site as THE symbol for Jesus Christ in paintings, on mosaics that adorn cathedrals, on stain glass murals, on buildings and inscriptions the world over. In many paintings, Jesus Christ is depicted as making the same cryptic hand gestures as seen below. This hand gesture is literally the symbol of the Antichrist that John saw in Revelation… XS (depicted as XC as the Sigma was transliterated as a C in the middle ages). We see Jesus Christ represented below with the blazing sun (sungod) behind his head, the 4 equal distant cross of the Zodiac and the cryptic hand gestures of the False Messiah:
We see in the images above that Jesus’ right hand forms an X by crossing his first two fingers. He then forms the C for Sigma by curving his last two fingers making the C shape. This is the hand gesture of the False Messiah as he identifies himself in plain sight making the XS symbol with his hands, the very symbol John used in Revelation 13…
The sign of the cross is the mark of Jesus Christ or the mark that is associated with his name!
We see above that even Christian Bible commentaries admit that the mark of the beast is the sign of the cross made on the forehead and over the heart. It represents The Trinity. This is the opposing mark to the Shema/Seal of Yahuah. Can this “symbol” John used be associated with The Trinity specifically? Remember, John’s warning that “reckoning up the symbol” requires spiritual understanding and INSIGHT or “eyes to see”.
The Mark of the Beast as we read in Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary is made over the victim’s forehead. It is the first letter in ΧΡΙΣΤΟS. In fact, the X is the most widely used monogram for Christ and the mark on the forehead of Christians:
In Christianity the X mark is made on the forehead while repeating “in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit” or X’ES representing the triplicate nature of the pagan Trinity. In making this X mark over the forehead, the mind is sealed with the opposing mark of The Trinity. We see below that the plural form of X (the mark) is the
pictogram of what John wrote in Revelation 13.
The Sign and the Seal of the Beast is the X monogram The first
letter Chi or
The early Church Fathers attested to the use of the sign of the cross and that it is the Seal or Mark of Christianity; the mark that opposes The Shema or Mark of God.
Gradually, the sign of the cross was incorporated in different acts of the Mass, such as the three-fold signing of the forehead, lips, and heart as it represents The Trinity. Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent which and is founded in the Babylonian ritual of “Weeping for Tammuz”. Ash Wednesday occurs 46 days before Easter (which is the sacrifice of a pig in honor of the death of Tammuz).
I cover this in detail in my book Mystery Babylon: The Religion of the Beast. At Masses and services of worship on Ash Wednesday, ashes are imposed on the foreheads of the faithful in the shape of an X. The priest, minister, or in some cases officiating layperson, marks the forehead of each participant with black ashes in the sign of the cross (or X), which the worshipper traditionally retains until it wears off.
It would take understanding to identify the monogram.
However, it requires insight or spiritual eyes to see to recognize this
symbol
The pictogram
The Greek letter Sigma looks like an S giving us the pictogram of the English letters XES in both upper and lower case form:
So XES would indicate Jesus in triplicate.
Jesus was often represented in this form in antiquity. As a pictogram of XES in English, this

is because the
translators mistranslated arithmos as number instead of symbol.
Then the translators took the liberty of changing the text and

the English letters XES. XES is the English
translation of one of the Greek forms of IHS, the most famous of
the symbols of Jesus. XESÚS is a common spelling of Jesus today:
In fact, the name Jesus is written in the Greek Galician dialect as XESus and is of Hebrew origin at the time John wrote Revelation. So John, when writing the book of Revelation, would naturally have known what I am pointing out here today.

XESÚS - http://meaningbabynames.com/meaning/Xesus The baby boy name Xesus is pronounced as KahSahS (*). Xesus is of Hebrew origin and it is used mainly in the Galician language. Xesus is a variation of Jesus (English, Portuguese, Spanish, and German).
XESÚS - http://www.behindthename.com/name/xesu10s GENDER: Masculine USAGE: Galician Meaning - Galician form of JESUS, used as a personal name. |
That symbol John used 
contains the mark of the beast 
, the
mark of the serpent 
, the monogram for Christos ΧΡΙΣΤΟS - XS, and the pictogram 
for the letters XES. XESus
is Greek for JESus which in Latin is the most famous symbol for the name Jesus…
the symbol IHS. So is
pointing us to IHS which is the monogram for the name “Jesus” or
: We see
below the IHS or symbol with the mark
of the beast (the cross) incased within the sun as the very image of sun
worship and its god Hesus Horus Krishna (Jesus H. Christ).
John also used the ONE monogram that could be associated with Zeus. Jesus
in Latin means “Hail Zeus”. In Greek, the first of these three letters used by
John also takes the sound
of a 'Z' - as in Xenephen or Xylophone. The first and last Greek letters of
this formula, may therefore also be referring to the first and last letters of
the name 'Zeus' again pointing to Jesus. Keeping in mind that
Constantine named his new god “Jesus” after the god of the Pantheon Zeus as was
the custom in pagan Rome. Just like Hebrews used the poetic form of the name
of God (Yahu) in contracted sentence names to give glory to Yahuah, so did the
Greeks as they ended names and cities using “sous/sus/us” after their own god
Zeus. Take for example the name of Julius
Caesar “Gaius Julius Caesar” or the
name of the Roman Emperor Constantine who literally created Christianity
“Flavius Valerius Aurelius
Constantinus Augustus”.
The suffix “us” was added to Greek and Roman names to give glory to Zeus where Yah or Yahu was added to Hebrew names to give glory to Yahuah.
| “It is known that the Greek name
endings with sus, seus, and sous were attached by the Greeks to names and
geographical areas as means to give honor to their supreme deity, Zeus."

What we have learned so far is that out of all the various
symbols constructed with the Greek letters of Christos, this ONE
version 
used
by John specifically identifies Jesus Christ . This one symbol
incorporates the sea serpent 
(the beast of the sea), it identifies his
mark 
, his monogram XS,
and a pictogram in English XES of his name which is his IHS
monogram. Below is Revelation 13 in its true meaning:

Revelation 13
- The
Beast out of the Sea

It should be obvious to the reader why we are warned not to add to or subtract from His Word. The translators did both in Revelation 13; they subtracted the symbol of Jesus Christ and added the number 666 in its place. This caused confusion and, as Satan so planned, deflects our attention away from his “son of perdition”. People think “666” is the mark on the forehead when that number has nothing at all to do with the topic. That mark is the “X” symbol or monogram. Now it requires “wisdom and insight” to figure it out due to uninspired translation errors. This is one of the “seals” over the book of Revelation that only now has been broken.
They who don’t have the mark
could
not buy or sell
In Revelation 13:17 we see that those who do not take the
mark of Jesus Christ () are prohibited from commerce
within his realm. Is this referring to some futuristic physical “mark” or
biochip in our forehead and hand as is being taught today? Or have we simply
overlooked the obvious because we are unwilling to acknowledge the Jesus Christ is the beast and Christianity is the
second beast? If we simply take an honest look throughout history, we see that
Christianity has outlawed “buying and selling” specifically for all those who
do not bow down to the authority of The Pope and accept the specific mark on
their forehead .
The Book of Revelation is misunderstood by many as applying
only to the last 7 years of “Tribulation” when in fact is was given 2000 years
ago and covers a 2000 year span of Christian dominance. We see below the Mark
of the Beast is the sign of the Cross and
those who do not have that mark were forbidden to “buy or sell” throughout
history and the X is the “seal on the forehead”:

Lateran, under Pope Alexander III., The synod of Tours, in
France, under the same pope, orders,
It was ordered by a bull of
Pope Martin the Fifth, |
Now we know the identity of the first beast 
that
it is the “image of a man” we have elevated in our hearts as God incarnate above
Yahuah. We actually “invite Jesus into our hearts” and sit him on the throne
and sacrifice a pig on Yahuah’s altar every Easter! This is The
Abomination of Desolation… John identified that image of a False
Messiah by his mark, his monogram, and by a pictogram and the serpent who give
this image power and authority.
The second beast is easily identified… it is Christianity. It
is the religion that evolved around the first beast 
that
causes the Earth to worship . Remember that
Christianity is the largest religion on Earth. It is the very one that sites on
7 hills etc. and by definition is the “widest gate” being the largest religion
on Earth. “The True Way” is the NARROW GATE and very few find it! Simple logic
(even without the proof in this book) should have told us the largest religion
is not the “chosen few” remnant spoken of in scripture. It is not the “narrow
gate” that leads to salvation.
When you insert the true identities of the first and second beast into passages in The Book of Revelation those passages come alive and clearly point to only one religion in the history of humanity… Christianity. The religion that bears no resemblance to that described in The Bible and is a carbon copy of Mystery Babylon.
The First
Beast is 
the Second Beast is
Christianity
We see in Revelation the rise of the first beast
(creation
of Jesus Christ at the Council of Nicaea) and then a second beast flows forth
from the first beast (the religion of Christianity was created around the image
of Jesus Christ) and causes the entire world to
worship the image of the first beast Jesus Christ. The
very one John identified in Revelation 13 by name… XESus (Jesus)
using his pictogram, his mark, and his monogram. We are now going to further
identify 
Jesus as the Antichrist or first beast; and
Christianity as the second beast.
How Rome became the “seat” of the Babylonian Religious Cult
What few people realize is that the religion of Babylon was formally transferred from Babylon to Rome when Rom conquered Babylon. That is why Peter properly identified Rome as Babylon below speaking to the assembly in Rome:
| 1 Peter 5:13 She (the assembly) who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you her greetings, and so does my son Mark. |
The first Roman Pontiff (and every Pope since) is actually the High Priest of Dagon the Dragon which was the “Babylonian Order” of Priests. When Attalus, the Pontiff and King of Pergamos died, in B.C. 133, he bequeathed the headship of the "Babylonian Priesthood" to Rome. When the Etruscans came to Italy from Lydia, (the region of Pergamos), they brought with them the Babylonian religion and rites. They set up a Pontiff who was head of the priesthood. Later the Romans accepted this Pontiff as their civil ruler. Julius Caesar was made Pontiff of the Etruscan Order in B.C. 74. In B.C. 63, he was made "Supreme Pontiff" of the "Babylonian Order," thus becoming heir to the rights and title of Attalus, Pontiff of Pergamos, who made Rome his heir by will. Thus the first Roman Emperor became the head of the "Babylonian Priesthood," and Rome the successor of Babylon. Each successor to Emperor from that point forward held the title Pontifus Maximus literally The High Priest of the Babylonian Cult of Sol Invictus which was simply another incarnation of Mithraism stemming from the worship of Tammuz in Babylon.
The Pope of Rome now carries forward that High Priesthood as Pontiff. Every fundamental doctrine of Christianity is by Papal decree such as Sunday worship, The Trinity, Easter, Christmas, etc. etc. Yahuah did not command these pagan rituals and not one of these fundamental doctrines are “in” the Bible or part of the life of Yahusha the Messiah. The Roman Empire began their official recognition of sun worship during the time of Aurelian when he instituted the cult of "Sol Invictus". There is virtually no difference between the cult of Sol Invictus and that of Mithraism or for that matter Catholicism/Christianity they are all later versions of The Mystery Religion of Babylon the Great Whore.
In the year 307 A.D. Emperor Diocletian, a sun worshipper, was involved in the dedication of a temple to Mithra, and he was responsible for the burning of Holy Scripture (the Hebrew originals that is why we don’t have any today) which made it possible for later emperors to formulate Christianity. Without the original Hebrew texts the Roman version of the Universal Christo-pagan Mystery Religion was crafted in secret by pagan sun worshippers.
After the rein of Diocletian, the Roman Emperor Constantine (the creator of modern day Christianity) maintained the title "Pontifus Maximus" the high priest of paganism, and remained a worshipper of Apollo (Apollo is Tammuz in the Greek culture). His coins were inscribed: "SOL INVICTO COMITI", which is interpreted as "Committed to the Invincible Sun" until his death. During his reign, pagan sun worship was blended with the worship of the True Creator (this blending process is called syncretism), and officially titled "Christianity" by the (less than holy) Roman Empire and its' official church the (less than holy) Catholic (universal) Church. Christianity became the catch all “religion” created to assimilate all pagan religions into one.
Cybele, the Phrygian goddess, known to her followers as "the mother of god", was closely related to the worship of Mithra. Just as Mithraism was a man's religion, the worship of Cybele was practiced by women. The priests of Mithra were known as "Fathers" and the Priestesses of Cybele as "Mothers". After baptism into the Mysteries of Mithra, the initiate was marked on the forehead with an X. The sign of the cross formed by the elliptic and the celestial equator was one of the signs of Mithra. Sunday (Deis Solis), the day of the Sun, was considered by Mithraist a sacred day of rest. December 25th (the birthday of Mithra) was celebrated as the birth of the Sun, given birth by the "Queen of Heaven" - "Mother of god". The Mithraists celebrated a mithraic love feast. This feast consisted of loaves of bread decorated with crosses with wine, over which the priest pronounced a mystic formula. Mithra was considered mediator between god and man.
We know Constantine created Hesus Horus Krishna
as the god of the Roman Empire and that over time that name evolved into Jesus
H. Christ. We know Constantine created a totally new religion around Jesus
Christ that abolished The Law of Yahuah, changed the festival of Yahuah,
changed the Sabbath of Yahuah, changed the Passover of Yahuah, and changed the
name of the Messiah to a pagan name giving glory to Zeus. Christianity then, as
the second beast, caused humanity to worship through brute force (the inquisition) and forced
ignorance (the Dark Ages) as Christianity conquered the globe. I know this is
very hard to believe but keep reading the evidence is overwhelming.
The First and Second Beast of Revelation
The first beast is “the beast of the sea” which is a reference to Dagon the Fish God who later became known as the sea serpent then the dragon. This is the “god” of the Babylonian Religion. Dagon pictured “coming out of the sea”.
The first High Priest of Dagon was the King of Babylon Nimrod. The High Priests of Dagon wore a large, gutted fish over their head letting the body drape over them like a cape.
As the religion spread throughout cultures the garments of the High Priest of Dagon the Dragon evolved as well into the Mitre Hat with a long cape instead of an actual gutted fish. The Pope today remains the Pontiff and High Priest of Dagon the Dragon:
It is Dagon the Dragon that gives the High Priest of Dagon known as The Pope of Rome his earthly throne and power. Yahusha is the KING not these pagan priests who literally sit themselves on his thrown claiming they are literally Yahusha on Earth (Vicor of Christ). Yahusha as a man never assumed such power and authority, he emptied himself of his position as Prince of Israel and took on the form of a poor servant.
The Pope is described in great detail in the book of Revelation:
Revelation 17:4
And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication
We see the religion that grew up around
Jesus
Christ is literally the worship of the dragon or Dagon. It is The Beast
of the Earth described in the Book of Daniel and the Book of Revelation.
The most abominable “beast” to Yahuah is the pig. So “beast” in
The Torah would be the pig. The name Jesus can be broken down into its Latin
prefix Je which means “earth” and Latin suffix sus
which means “pig”. Remember Jesus is a LATIN name not Hebrew and is a
contracted sentence name or contraction in the same way as Yahusha is in Hebrew.
Yahusha is a contraction of Yahuah and Yahsha
meaning Yahuah is our deliverer or savior. Jesus is just such a contacted Latin
name:
