Bill Gates is the Antichrist Ever since Microsoft was founded, Bill
Gates has gained power over the people of the world by
winning a monopoly in the computer-software industry. From the
assistance Microsoft gave in the development of the personal
computer, to the virtual monopoly that Windows 95 now has on most
computers all over the world; Microsoft has controlled a
major portion of the computer industry. In his repeated conquests over
his competitors, Gates has left an increasingly obvious
amount of evidence that proves that he is the fourth and final
antichrist. Most of this evidence comes from Gates' computer
products and is referred to in Revelations. This evidence may have been
left on purpose, or was a careless mistake by the
founder of Microsoft. Like the other men who have been considered
antichrists, Gates has attempted to rule the world. The
only difference between Gates and his predecessors is that he is trying
to rule the world through computers, not through military
force. ASCII(American Standard Code for Information Interchange) code is
a system of keeping track of letters, numbers and
characters on a computer. When Bill Gates and IBM decided to use ASCII
code in the IBM Personal Computer, many people
didn't know what computers were, or care what ASCII code was. Many
people who did know what ASCII code was didn't
think that Bill Gates was evil. Today, now that more people use
computers regularly, Bill Gates' evil secrets have been revealed
to the public through the Internet and anti-Microsoft activists. "Here
is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the
number of the beast, for it is the number of a man : His number is 666."
(Revelation 13:18) Bill Gates' full name is William
Henry Gates III. If the ASCII codes of the letters in "BILLGATES" are
added, plus three for the "III" in his name, then the sum
is 666 (antichrist.txt). B I L L G A T E S 3
66+73+76+76+71+65+84+69+83+3 = 666 "Let him who has understanding
calculate the number of the beast" refers to computer programmers and
others who have knowledge in computers. Gates most
likely did not expect for the people in his industry to divulge his
secret identity to the public, but an increasing number of
computer users have found and advertised the truth about him. Most
computers sold today come with Windows 3.1 or
Windows 95. Many people don't buy computer software unless it is
designed specifically for Windows. If a company decides
to make a program for an operating system other than Windows, then they
will probably not sell as many copies of their
software than if they had made a Windows version. Most companies want to
make a large profit, so they are going to make
Windows compatible software. "He causes all, both small and great, rich
and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their
right hand or on their foreheads. And that no one may buy or sell except
one who has the mark or name of the beast, or the
number of his name." (Revelation 13:16 and 13:17) The Microsoft and
Windows symbols are the "mark or name of the beast,"
because they effectively prevent the sale of products for other systems.
"Thus he said: The fourth beast shall be A fourth
kingdom on Earth, which shall be different from all other kingdoms, And
shall devour the whole Earth, Trample it and break it
in pieces." Gates' Microsoft is the fourth beast, with its significant
power of money. Microsoft has "devoured the Earth" by
gaining a monopoly on the software industry, so that it could "Trample
it and break it to pieces" if it felt the desire. Bill Gates
can raise the prices of his software at any time because there is very
little competition to prevent this. In the past few years,
Microsoft has bought many smaller companies who produced products which
they wanted. Gates probably didn't want to
spend the money to develop competing products, so he bought the
competing companies and sold their products under the
Microsoft label. "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt
not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his
maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy
neighbor's." (10thCommandment) He broke the Tenth
Commandment by coveting his "neighbor's," or competing companies',
products. Microsoft's purchases were also foretold in
Revelation 12.4. "And his tail drew the third part of the stars of
heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood
before the woman which was ready too delivered, for to devour her child
as soon as it was born." Microsoft has devoured its
smaller competitors so that they could not harm Microsoft's profits and
its rule over the computer industry. Another reference
to Microsoft as the red dragon was in Revelation 12.3. "And there
appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red
dragon, having seven heads and ten dorns, and seven crowns upon his
heads." These heads were Microsoft's various products
: Word, Excel, Internet Explorer, Publisher, Windows 95, DOS, and
Encarta. These products are Microsoft's main arsenal
against the rest of the software industry, just as the dragon's heads
are its weapons. Microsoft Word has taken away many
buyers for Corel's WordPerfect. Windows 95 has prevented other operating
systems, such as IBM's OS/2 and Sun's Solaris,
from becoming popular among many home-computer users. Excel has defeated
Lotus' spreadsheet, Lotus 1-2-3. Most of
these Microsoft products come pre-packaged on computers, so consumers
most likely won't feel compelled to buy their
competitors' products. These competing products are similar, and
sometimes superior to, Microsoft's products. In Revelation
12.9, the dragon is referred to specifically as the Devil. "And the
great dragon was cast out (from heaven), that old serpent,
called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world..." Bill
Gates is deceiving the world with his products by including
them with all new computers. These free products imply to the consumer
that Microsoft products are superior to other
products, when the only major benefit that the consumer gets is a free
product. The prophecies in Revelations foretold the
coming of Bill Gates and his evil empire named Microsoft. His demonic
number 666, which was encoded inside the programs
that he wrote, and his aggressive actions were also foretold in
Revelations. His corporate takeovers were excellent examples of
his coveting what he didn't have plus his intentions to stifle any new
competition. There are too many similar references in the
Bible for this to be a coincidence. Bill Gates is the fourth and final
antichrist.
