Suspect #1 BARNEY

Part 1 of my 'Pin the tail on the Antichrist' series focuses on a purple dinosaur named Barney*. The case against him is strong! Revelation 17:8 says 'Once was, now is not, and yet will come'. Dinosaurs** once were. Then they were not. Now they are back and Barney is the most famous of them all!

"But Barney is just a cute purple dinosaur" you say? Let's take a closer look:

CUTE PURPLE DINOSAUR. First, we need to change the U's to V's (proper latin). CVTE PVRPLE DINOSAVR. Second, we need to extract all the Roman numerals. CVVLDIV. Third we need to find the Arabic values for these letters. 100, 5, 5, 50, 500, 1, 5. Fourth we need to add these numbers together. You guessed it...666.***

Obviously Barney is our prime suspect based on this evidence, but we'll target another suspect tomorrow as we continue to 'Pin the Tail on the Antichrist'.
Footnotes
*Notice in the pic that Barney has '6' toes
**John, not having ever seen a dinosaur, could certainly have equated Barney with the term 'beast'
***This 666 formula is not original with me. It was 'discovered' by literary scholar Kathryn Lindskoog. She seems to have been using it humorously...boy will she be surprised!
