To those who were initiated the god was revealed; to all else he was hidden. Now, the name Saturn
in Chaldee is pronounced Satur; but, as every Chaldee scholar knows, consists only of four letters,
thus - Stur. This name contains exactly the Apocalyptic number 666:--
S = 060
T = 400
U = 006
R = 200
But what bearing, it may be said, has this upon the name “Lateinos,” which is commonly believed
to be the "name of the beast"?... On etymological grounds, then, even on the testimony of the
Romans, Lateinos is equivalent to the "Hidden One"; that is, to Saturn, the "god of Mystery."

The Veiled Throne of Saturn
The relief pictured above is found in the Louvre in Paris. It is dated to the first century A.D. in
Rome. Two of the cherubim can be seen carrying the sickle of Saturn. That the throne is veiled, once
more points to the veiled and secret nature of the worship of this deity. It was not disclosed openly
that it was Satan who was being worshiped. Legends promoting an alternate identity and character
of the chief god of the Romans under the name of Saturn served to obscure the truth of the Satanic
worship to all but the advanced devotees of this fallen angel. Let us recap what Alexander Hislop
has disclosed regarding the “Hidden One,” while adding further information.
