Was this supercomputer named in prophecy?

"With respect to [the Antichrist's] name, it is not in our power to explain it exactly, as the blessed John understood it and was instructed about it, but only to give a conjectural account of it; for when he appears, the blessed one will show us what we seek to know.

They can discover that the world in which we live was foreseen by prophets.

This is no "conspiracy theory." Each day's headlines reveal it is a "conspiracy fact."
