The myth of seat number 666 in the European Parliament being the seat of the Antichrist is now dispelled

Italian politician Clemente Mastella

According to some so called Bible Prophecy experts, all of the seats in the European parliament have been occupied except for number 666.

Now this is where a conspiracy theory begins and ends.

With some saying seat number 666 has been deliberately left vacant so that the Antichrist is able to occupy it at a later date, could it be that the seat has been left vacant (if it still is vacant) just because it is seat number 666, and out of sheer suspicion only.

Here is what one man had to say relative to that suggestion. I work at the European Parliament and, sad to say, it's actually a lot more boring than this suggests. The thing about seat 666 is an amusing myth that comes up now and then, but it's essentially just nonsense. Someone does in fact sit in seat number 666 in the European Parliament - both in the building in Strasbourg and in Brussels. The idea that the seat is kept empty goes back to an article that was written some ten years ago now. Because I've had so many people ask about this, I can even tell you who sits in the seat. At present the person who sits in seat 666 in the parliament in Strasbourg is an Italian politician called Clemente Mastella. He has a reputation for being a sleaze ball, but it's probably a bit of a stretch to call him the Antichrist. Someone also sits in the seat in the parliament in Brussels. This time it's a French politician called Michèle Rivasi - she's a Green MEP, not very famous, but a fairly nice lady nonetheless. I've met her and I certainly wouldn't think she's the Antichrist, but I'm not a very good judge of character...I must admit that it would help break up the day if we had the spawn of Satan walking around, but sadly it's just not the case.

WHY I AM NOT A DISPENSATIONALIST John Nelson Darby is recognized as the father of dispensationalism later made popular in the United States by Cyrus Scofield's Scofield Reference Bible. Charles Henry Mackintosh, 1820–1896, with his popular style spread Darby's teachings to humbler elements in society and may be regarded as the journalist of the Brethren Movement. CHM popularised Darby more than any other Brethren author. As there was no Christian teaching of a “rapture” before Darby began preaching about it in the 1830s, he is sometimes credited with originating the "secret rapture" theory wherein Christ will suddenly remove His bride, the Church, from this world before the judgments of the tribulation. Dispensationalist beliefs about the fate of the Jews and the re-establishment of the Kingdom of Israel put dispensationalists at the forefront of Christian Zionism, because "God is able to graft them in again," and they believe that in His grace he will do so according to their understanding of Old Testament prophecy. They believe that, while the methodologies of God may change, His purposes to bless Israel will never be forgotten, just as He has shown unmerited favour to the Church, He will do so to a remnant of Israel to fulfill all the promises made to the genetic seed of Abraham. I am not a dispensationalist; it is unbiblical.

The sad and sorry plight of Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the patsy’s for the Boston Bombings

Alex Jones is amazing, a highly intelligent man. What he says goes right beyond the realms of being just another conspiracy theory and puts Boston right up there with the very worst of what is going on in America. Barry Smith would have loved all of this for the sheer sensationalism that is represents.

It is quite easy to dismiss this as being nothing much more than complete and utter nonsense except for the obvious holes that lay in the official story. For example, the mother and father of the alleged perpetrators claimed they were framed and that if indeed the older brother was in constant touch with the FBI (as has been suggested by the mother) that also to points to the fact of a set up being involved? In this instance, I tend to believe the mother and father who have claimed their innocence of their children. After all, there is no one who knows you better than your own mother, if you are fortunate enough to still have your mother?

In the process of the arrests then older brother was killed which could indicate that he was silenced deliberately? At the same time, the younger assailant remains in a critical condition after capture which could also suggest that if he does not play the game then he will also be allowed to die?

There were 900 big burly cops sweeping the area on the lookout for the younger brother and yet they could only locate him until after they were given a tip off. Could it be that they were they really all that interested in finding him alive and that as he was quite seriously injured at the time of his arrest did they also attempt to kill him as well? At the time of this writing I am not aware if he has survived, or not? But then again, I would not be surprised at all if he doesn’t make it at all.

Just as Jones has suggested, there are no doubts at all that all in not right as far as the official story of the Boston bombings is concerned. This really does look like it has been a deliberate plan to take away the liberty of the American people?

However, in this process we still need to look at Alex Jones himself and then realize that he is not a Christian, and that he is making a lot of money out of what he is doing. Not that he doesn’t deserve whatever he makes out of his tireless and hard work. ‘

Even though what he says does indeed make a lot of sense it still does not explain the shootout? After all, if those two boys were as innocent, as what it appears they were, then why would they have gone on the offensive when trying to allude capture? However, as with everything else that is attached to this whole sad and sorry mess there is more than likely a plausible explanation attached to that sanctioned story as well.

From the JFK assassination, to 911 and now this, how far is this evil going to extend and when will it end? Small wonder the word of God describes the after effects of a nuclear war in Revelation Chapter 18 and the resultant destruction of New York City. That rather unfortunate event now look like it is going to be also deliberately designed to shift the world economy away from the US over the EU under the control of the Antichrist?

Of course, there is yet another aspect to this story that still needs some consideration. If what was going on was really nothing much more than an exercise in terrorism then it may also have been probable that the two boys alleged to be involved in this may have just used this to their advantage to stage the tragedy that they did? In other words they are guilty as has been alleged. It is really quite hard to determine the real facts of the matter as far as this whole sad and sorry mess is concerned.

Really, the only point that has really swayed me in the direction of a belief in the innocence of the two boys concerned was the conviction by which both the parents spoke relative to their son’s none guilt over this matter. But as blood is always as thick as water isn’t that what one would expect the parents to say anyway? Either parent is never going to throw a child away no matter what he or she is ever accused of. However, a golden rule to remember is that basically one can believe nothing one hears and only half of what one sees.

There was a time just before his passing that the late Bill Cooper, of BEYOND A PALE HORSE fame, had an all-out stoush with Jones accusing him of being really nothing much more than a sensationalist, which of course that is exactly what he is. After all, that is how he makes his living. Apparently the row started over some of the material that Cooper had published which had caused an adverse reaction with Jones and then of course it was on for young and old.

The result of course was that these two never ever saw eye to eye over anything and as far as I am aware that is how it remained right up until the passing of Cooper at quite a young age. Cooper died after he became involved in a shootout with US Federal Law Enforcement Officers, over whatever matter I am not sure of at this stage.

If there is anyone else out there who would like to add anything further to my own limited outlook then I would be more than happy to hear your input as well.
