Various numerological methods of calculating the number of the name of the Beast ("666" in most manuscript sources, "616" in a minority), and other methods are used to identify the Antichrist before he has the chance to lead astray. A nice example is the case of Adolf Hitler, where numbering the letters A=100, B=101, etc, produces H+I+T+L+E+R=666.
Candidates for the Antichrist have been men in virtually all positions of public influence, the most frequent modern candidates: Prince Charles of Wales[1] (www.lionlamb.net...), Napoleon Bonaparte, Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, various Popes, the European Union and recent Presidents of the United States. Some have taken seriously the suggestion made by the Left Behind series, that the Antichrist may be the Secretary-General of the United Nations. Since the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attack, theories about Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, or George W. Bush being the Antichrist have been put forward. In addition, many apocalyptic webites claim that Javier Solana has rebuilt the Roman Empire through the EU (European Union), where he is said to have been named High Representative through Resolution 666 [2] (europa.eu.int...). This claim echoes the plot of the Left Behind novels by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins.
Who would have thought. Did you ever hear about him prior? Probably not if you aren't from Arkansas.

I'm pretty sure it speaks of two messenges for 42 months followed by the dragon for a further 42 months. That equals 84 which equals 7 years.

What is the verse in Revelations that requires a 7 year tribulation period?
Rev 11:3
And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
Rev 12:6
And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
Daniel 7.25
And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
A Time = 1 year
Times = 2 years
Dividing of Times = 1/2 year.
360 X 3 =1080 + 180 = 1260
