666

@classical Hero: I'm not denying there wouldn't be an end of times that would be silly it's mentioned a cajillion times in the OT alone, what I am denying is a religous nuts take on things, I just don't hold Revelation to have any biblical merit.
In the passage I just gave you the Anti Christ is called the man of sin and the son of perdition.. This passage an Revelations 13 are very similar and yet they are written years apart and by different authors. Even comparing many parts of Daniel will give the same thing, so there appears to be a theme through out the Bible.

The phrase "The day of the LORD" is mentioned 19 times in the Bible and it always refers what happens in Revelation. The Prophecy in the Bible has been proven to be accurate. just read Daniel and the Prophecy about what was going to happen to the area around the Jews. The Bible predicted that that area will be first occupied by the Babylonians, then the Persian, then the Greeks and finally the Romans would occupy that area. The Bible even predicted that Cyrus would be the one who would free the Isrealites. This is a powerful prophecy considering that the King is actually named before the event.

I have just given a few Prophecies that have been shown beyond doubt to be true, so what is stopping these from being true? The Bible demands that a Prophecy to be from the Lord it must be 100% accurate. many people have given prophecies but they fail this simple test. So far the Bible has not had one failure. I'd bank on those sort of figure, wouldn't you?

BTW, I was listening to Lizst's Totentanz, which a piano and Orchestra set of variations on the Dies Irae (Day of Wrath, from Latin Mass) theme.

Chapter 1923137123917 of the Human Race on Planet Earth -

WWIII
Some divine intervention (also known as the 3 days of darkness - probably partially arriving as a nuclear winter or something)
A period of peace where Christianity is spread to all people (that's also in scripture).
The antichrist comes (that's the one the Jewish people will think is the Messiah, and even lead a portion of Christians astray). It's often said he'd only reign for 3 1/2 years. From what I've gathered once, it would appear that by then, the earth might be united into several large provinces - sort of like the European Union, but with larger regions).
Jesus comes (nope, sorry Baptists, no rapture - everyone leaves at the same time.)
The End.
You forgot the part where God(/Jesus ?) builds the New Jerusalem - Great Wonder after the antichrist is defeated in the battle at Megiddo (not Jericho). (IIRC)
 
The Ritual has begun and Satans work is done.
 
Classical Hero: I'm not saying there arent prophecies that are written by different people no doubt they listen to the words and read the works passed on amongst christians all I'm saying is in this case I think St John was a nut not a prophet, it's my belief that he's nuts and it's not the most controversial book in the NT for nothing. I'd rather see the Gospel of Judas or Thomas in there at least they are written about their version of events, not some wild fantasy induced by paranoid scizophrenia and mixed with religous beliefs from all over the O&NT.
 
Who says that the number of the beast is in decimal? 666 in hex is 1638 in decimal. Therefore the antichrist was born on the 1st of June, 1938. (Or the 6th of January, 1938 if the antichrist is american.)

666 base 8 is 438 in decimal. Which makes for April 1938. So it all points to 1938 starting the end of days, which leads to one conclusion: Somebody was late invading Poland, it was meant to have been done the year before.

Wow, that was a good...(counts)...dozen words without adding ANYTHING to the debate, whatsoever. Amazing!

On-topic: I think that we can dispense with the whole "666" crap. The Bible should not be taken seriously, nor should anything of the myths surrounding it.
Wait a second. You ridicule my post for ridiculing the whole '666' thing, then go and call the '666' thing crap and say the bible should not be taken seriously.

Hmmm.....

Jesus *IS* the 3rd temple (according to some sites). It's the antichrist that builds it.

Jericho? You mean Armageddon, don't you?


Dare I assume that John's post is some hereunto unknown species of sarcasm?
 
See, this sort of thing is exactly why the Church always suggests careful wisdom in Tradition when reading Scripture. So many absurd opinions have been thrown around regarding the numerology of the Apocalypse of St. John that they are in themselves most evil and Satanic in leading souls astray as if God limited Himself to some game of numbers.

I might be wrong kuz i read the Revelation a loooong time ago, and i have a very bad memory. But i remember a certain simbolism. The Old Jerusalem and the New (Celestial) Jerusalem. This does not relate to the 3rd temple, which IIRC is not mentioned after the battle (i think). The battle with the antichrist (the Beast) basicaly ravages the world and leaves it in ruin. Good (the Lamb) will win at the battle of Megiddo (not Jericho, sorry:blush: i mixed them up).
And then New Jerusalem will descend (apear ?) from the sky. (not in the place of Old Jerusalem necesarely) This will be the place where those that did not bear the mark of the Beast will thrive.
I remember there was a preety nice description of the walls (or was it the gate) of the city. It was made by 12 "layers" of gemstones. The city is described a bit and i think it also has the Throne of God somewhere around there ...

(and they all lived happly ever after:))
 
Hmm, I was born on June 1st.

If TLC and leonel said is true... :evil:

Pity that I am not a Christian, nor believe in higher powers. Thus I can't be the anti-christ if I don't believe in the God that I am supposed to destroy. :crazyeye:

But I'm not sure of the hour. :p
 
666 Refers to Nero Caeser, if you add his letters up somehow they will add up to 666. I don't know exactly how to add them up, but that's the origin of 666.

The pastor said to me that the anti-christ was supposed to be born on at the 6th hour of the 6th day of the 6th month

Close, but Curt was Born on June 5th, not the 6th.

Maybe there was a slight scheduling error.

What happens if you change the time he was born into the time that Jerusalem follows?
