         Jerry, also notice that it is a whorehouse, the opposite of the 
church (Bride of Christ) in the Book of Revelation (The Great Harlot). 
Thus, 666. Also, the place is guarded by Cerberus, who guards the gates of 
hell. In Proverbs, the harlot's feet "extend down to sheol," and the 
opposition of Lady Wisdom and Harlot Folly in Proverbs 1-9 is immediate 
background to Bride versus Harlot in Revelation, and something Wolfe cannot 
fail to have missed. (Anyway, the abode of the antichrist is hell until he 
appears on earth, when "they want us.")
