I got this as an answer to another question...have you heard this before? AND wouldn't this mean Jesus was Satan? Or did I interpret it incorrectly?

"Was Zeus Satan?
We can find original text written in Greek, Latin as well as Hebrew. The Greek alphabet was assigned numerical values (The X gives the Z sound of Xylophone) X (=Chi) 600; Xi (shaped like a curled capital E) 60 and S (Sigma) 6. (Although Sigma is no longer used, it was) Thus 600, 60 and 6 spells XES, the Greek spelling for Zeus. In the KJV translation - where the name of the prophet Elisha (meaning 'My God is Saviour') has been retained in the paganised form 'Eliseus' (My god is Zeus). In similar fashion, the Name of the Hebrew Messiah YAHU'SHUAH (meaning 'YAHU is Saviour') has been paganised to read 'JeZeus', ('God is Zeus') which later became 'Jesus' in the English language (pronounced 'Jezus').

600 (X), 60 (Xi,=E), 6 (S) the number of his name, clearly spells XES the original Greek spelling for ZEUS."

Hebrew and Greek are 2 different languages.

Jesus is a Jew. His original name is in Jewish.

Elisha is also a Jew. His original name is in Jewish.

Yeshua is the original Hebrew proper name for Jesus of Nazareth, who lived from about 6 B.C.E. to 27 C.E. (A.D.) In other words, Yeshua was the name His mother called Him.

Jesus is a mis-transliteration of the Greek mis-transliteration, Yeysu. (Some say the name Jesus probably developed from the name of the pagan god Zeus, but there is little or no evidence for this) It is true that Emperor Constatine mistook Jesus for the Greek god Apollo, but that is another story.

It is the most proper to call Him Yeshua, since only in the Hebrew does His name have any meaning. In Hebrew Yeshua means both "Salvation," and the concatenated form of Yahoshua, the "LORD who is Salvation." The name Jesus has no intrinsic meaning in English, except as it is known as His name in English. (Therefore, we cannot deny the name Jesus, since this name commonly identifies the Messiah to English speaking people)

Blame the Greeks.

That explanation makes no sense whatsoever.

First of all, "X" in Greek is not pronounced like "z," and never was. It was originally a plosive "k," and then was later softened to a rough "h" sound. Basically, this theory is saying that 666 represents the name "kxs," pronounced "k-ks-s," with no inflected ending. What the?

And XES (or Chxs, in transliteration) was never used to spell "Zeus." The word "Zeus" was originally pronounced "zdeh-oos," and was derived from the Indo-European word for God, which was "deh-oos." The name "Zeus" was in common use in the days of Homer, three centuries before the letter "x" was even invented (it was first adopted by the Ionian Greeks in 403 BC).

"Zeus" in Greek is spelled zeta-epsilon-upsilon-sigma, or Z-e-u-s; never XES or Ch-x-s.

Elisha in Greek is "Elias," and has nothing to do with Zeus. The Greek "sh" is always spelled "s" because they didn't have a letter for "sh," and the "s" at the end is an inflection that is used to distinguish the nominative (i.e. subject) form of the word.

Jesus in Greek is "Iesous," derived from the Hebrew "Ioshua." Again, in Greek, there is no "sh," so it is spelled with an "s." The Hebrew "u" was spelled "ou" in Greek, and the final "s" is, again, added to make the nominative form of the noun. Hence "Ioshua" = "Iesous." The only other way to spell "Ioshua" in Greek is "Iosous."

The English "J" was originally just a way to write the semi-vowel "i." When the letter "i" occured before another vowel (in which case it took on a "y" sound), it was written "j." Hence "Iesous" = "Jesus," "Ioseph" = "Joseph," "Iacob" = "Jacob," etc.

As the ruler of the Olympian gods, Zeus wielded enormous power and almost absolute authority. He appears in Homer's Iliad in the role of imperious leader, a grandiose father figure to a pantheon of bickering deities. And although he is often portrayed as an omniscient, omnipotent being, even the mighty Zeus could be tricked (or, to put it more gently, distracted). This is indeed the case in the Iliad, in that wonderful scene where he is seduced by his wife Hera and consequently led to ignore the events taking place on the battlefield of Troy.
There are certainly other instances where Zeus is deceived (the incident with Prometheus being but one more good example). These examples only demonstrate that although he was the god who ruled Olympus and its divine denizens, he was subject to the laws of Fate and was not in fact all-powerful. And just as the other deities had their own personal foibles, Zeus too had a weakness - he was passionately fond of female charms. Many stories about Zeus recount his insatiable lust and notorious wandering eye, an eye that fell upon goddess and mortal woman alike.

What does 6-Sigma has to do with Jesus. It is a 'Quality' level which most companies try to achieve. Jesus is not Satan but was an exalted Prophet of Allah, son of Mary born of miraculous birth. He was sent to straighten the Jewish nation to the path of Allah since they had gradually abandoned the simple ways that Allah had ordained for them for living and worshiping Him and the rabbis had made religion full of rituals and ceremonies and beyond the laymen of the faith. However, Jesus message was rejected was rejected by the people to whom he was sent.

The original question must have been is Jesus Satan, because they asked do they think Zeus is Satan. Then they went on to explain that they feel Zeus and Jesus were the same person.

The truth concerning God and Satan can only be found in ONE book...that is the Holy Bible....God's Word. If one looks to the teachings of imperfect humans, who were not "inspired" by God, you will find anything, to support, any belief or suspicion you may have.

There are some who foolishly believe that God and our four legged friends are connected because of the backwards spelling of "God". One truth, One Word, One God. The Lord has made who he is clear, simple, and easy to grasp, humans are the one's who complicate and confuse his words.

I think that there are people who will try anything to discredit God, so I would not take too much stock in this type of information.
