The Restoration Scriptures True Name edition is tied to Moshe Koneochowsky, Simon Althoff, and plagiarism claims.

1. Bible Prophecy Talk - End Times News and Theology Podcast focuses on Waleed Shobat's Mark of the Beast reading of Revelation 13:18. 2. The speaker names Waleed Shobat as the book author and brings in Moshe Koneochowsky and Simon Althoff as linked figures in the debate. 3. The episode's aim is to test whether Revelation 13:18 can be read as Arabic words, crossed swords, and a 'multitude' instead of '666.' 4. The first argument centers on the words 'calculate' and 'number' in Revelation 13:18. 5. The speaker says the verse reads, 'Here is wisdom,' 'calculate the number of the beast,' and 'his number is 666.' 6. The next section examines the Greek word sephizo and its only other New Testament use in Luke 14:28. 7. Thayer's lexicon is read as defining sephizo in relation to counting pebbles, computing, calculating, and voting by pebble. 8. The speaker says Shobat's preferred sense of 'discern' or 'decide' does not fit the lexicon evidence. 9. The discussion then turns to arithmos, the Greek word behind 'number' in Revelation 13:18. 10. The speaker contrasts arithmos with aklos, the common Greek word for a crowd, and cites Revelation 7 and Matthew 9:8. 11. The episode then follows Shobat's reference to the Restoration Scriptures True Name edition. 12. Moshe Koneochowsky is described as a Messianic author and pastor from Florida who produced that translation. 13. Simon Althoff is introduced as a former ministry-team member who influenced Koneochowsky and later wrote Islam, Peace, or Beast. 14. The speaker says Shobat and Althoff co-wrote This is Our Eden, This is Our End before the friendship broke down. 15. The episode says Althoff accused Shobat of plagiarizing his work, and Shobat later called Althoff and Koneochowsky 'cult leaders.' 16. The final historical argument turns to the Bob Jones University copy of Codex Vaticanus. 17. The speaker says Shobat dates that codex to 350 A.D., but Revelation was added by a 15th-century scribe and written in minuscule, not the older unical style. 18. The episode argues that the 'crossed swords,' upside-down Allah, and sigma claims depend on later handwriting, punctuation, and image interpretation. 19. Listeners who track Greek words, Bible translation disputes, and end-times literature will get the most from this episode. 20. Listeners looking for a short devotional reading or a neutral overview may skip it.
