Bill Gates Is The Anti-Christ Essay, Research Paper
Bill Gates is the Antichrist Ever since Microsoft was founded, Bill Gates has gained power over thepeople of the world by winning a monopoly in the computer-softwareindustry. From the assistance Microsoft gave in the development of thepersonal computer, to the virtual monopoly that Windows 95 now has onmost computers all over the world; Microsoft has controlled a majorportion of the computer industry. In his repeated conquests over hiscompetitors, Gates has left an increasingly obvious amount of evidencethat proves that he is the fourth and final antichrist. Most of thisevidence comes from Gates’ computer products and is referred to inRevelations. This evidence may have been left on purpose, or was acareless mistake by the founder of Microsoft. Like the other men whohave been considered antichrists, Gates has attempted to rule theworld. The only difference between Gates and his predecessors is thathe is trying to rule the world through computers, not through militaryforce. ASCII(American Standard Code for Information Interchange) code is asystem of keeping track of letters, numbers and characters on acomputer. When Bill Gates and IBM decided to use ASCII code in the IBMPersonal Computer, many people didn’t know what computers were, or carewhat ASCII code was. Many people who did know what ASCII code wasdidn’t think that Bill Gates was evil. Today, now that more people usecomputers regularly, Bill Gates’ evil secrets have been revealed to thepublic through the Internet and anti-Microsoft activists. “Here iswisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of thebeast, for it is the number of a man : His number is 666.” (Revelation13:18) Bill Gates’ full name is William Henry Gates III. If the ASCIIcodes 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 366+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 incomputers. Gates most likely did not expect for the people in hisindustry to divulge his secret identity to the public, but an increasingnumber of computer users have found and advertised the truth about him. Most computers sold today come with Windows 3.1 or Windows 95. Manypeople don’t buy computer software unless it is designed specificallyfor Windows. If a company decides to make a program for an operatingsystem other than Windows, then they will probably not sell as manycopies of their software than if they had made a Windows version. Mostcompanies want to make a large profit, so they are going to make Windowscompatible software. “He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, toreceive 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 ofthe 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 ofmoney. Microsoft has “devoured the Earth” by gaining a monopoly on thesoftware 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 softwareat any time because there is very little competition to prevent this. In the past few years, Microsoft has bought many smaller companies whoproduced products which they wanted. Gates probably didn’t want tospend the money to develop competing products, so he bought thecompeting companies and sold their products under the Microsoft label. “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s house, thou shalt not covet thyneighbor’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,” orcompeting companies’, products. Microsoft’s purchases were alsoforetold in Revelation 12.4. “And his tail drew the third part of thestars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stoodbefore the woman which was ready too delivered, for to devour her childas soon as it was born.” Microsoft has devoured its smaller competitorsso that they could not harm Microsoft’s profits and its rule over thecomputer industry. Another reference to Microsoft as the red dragon was in Revelation12.3. “And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a greatred dragon, having seven heads and ten dorns, and seven crowns upon hisheads.” These heads were Microsoft’s various products : Word, Excel,Internet Explorer, Publisher, Windows 95, DOS, and Encarta. Theseproducts are Microsoft’s main arsenal against the rest of the softwareindustry, just as the dragon’s heads are its weapons. Microsoft Wordhas taken away many buyers for Corel’s WordPerfect. Windows 95 hasprevented other operating systems, such as IBM’s OS/2 and Sun’s Solaris,from becoming popular among many home-computer users. Excel hasdefeated Lotus’ spreadsheet, Lotus 1-2-3. Most of these Microsoftproducts come pre-packaged on computers, so consumers most likely won’tfeel compelled to buy their competitors’ products. These competingproducts are similar, and sometimes superior to, Microsoft’s products. In Revelation 12.9, the dragon is referred to specifically as theDevil. “And the great dragon was cast out (from heaven), that oldserpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the wholeworld…” Bill Gates is deceiving the world with his products byincluding them with all new computers. These free products imply to theconsumer that Microsoft products are superior to other products, whenthe only major benefit that the consumer gets is a free product. The prophecies in Revelations foretold the coming of Bill Gates and hisevil empire named Microsoft. His demonic number 666, which was encodedinside the programs that he wrote, and his aggressive actions were alsoforetold in Revelations. His corporate takeovers were excellentexamples of his coveting what he didn’t have plus his intentions tostifle any new competition. There are too many similar references inthe Bible for this to be a coincidence. Bill Gates is the fourth andfinal antichrist
