666

[Perfection]

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

Well then it's Curt's time +2 hours, so that's not gonna help (unless Curt wasn't born in the UK and instead born in eastern Asia)

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.

That's because you never read the wiki link I posted, it's all in there

There have been many procalimed antichrists in history based on this misinterpretation of religion. To me it serves only to confuse the religous and leads nowhere, but who am I too argue with religious confusion, plenty of religous scholars with far more insight than I have condemned Revelations; I tend to agree.

Hmmmm, sixth day of the sixth month is d-day. Somehow I wonder if the pastor in question wasn't a nazi.

 

[Neonanocyborgasm]

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

is this tru

No, it isn't true. The number of the beast comes from the book of Revelations. Like the rest of the book, it is probably a contemporary reference. Revelations has all sorts of "code" that only those in the know would understand. The beasts, for example, reflect various empires that have come and gone, with the last beast representing the Roman Empire, which was the largest empire known to people in that part of the world at the time. Revelations is an exhortation to "keep the faith" because it was thought that the kingdom of god would arise in people's lifetime, but only after a lot of trouble and persecution happened. In a sense, the events of revelation came true, because the kingdom of god happened when the Roman empire accepted christianity under Constantine, ending the persecution. Like the prophecy foretold, it DID follow a century of turmoil for the empire.

Those who attempt to ascribe the events of Revelation to the future are kidding themselves, as they clearly relate to events of that time.

Do you want to know what the significance of 666 is? It's 333 multiplied by 2. It's also 600 + (22 * 3). It's also 11988 divided by 18. Amazing, isn't it?

A little cooler is the fact that it's equal to the sum of every integer between 1 and 36 (inclusive).

I just made that percentage up, but they are more likely.

Oh, one more thing.... The first post you made (about the number sequence) - I read the same exact thing back in 1996. I'm pretty sure it was around in '86, '76, '66 (especially), '56, '46, '36, '26, '16, 1906 and so on.

Many of the things that are spoken of in Revelation are also spoken of in Daniel, so is Daniel also talking of present events. Chapter 17 givethe interpretation of what the beast is and from that description it is impossible to be describing present events.

I have always been told, man would not know when the second coming happens. As in we will never be able to figure it out.

Here is Wisdom: Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred and threescore and six

600 and 14x3=42? and 6... A score is 14 right? my math says 648. I have no idea WTH that means even if its right by a remote chance. or may be it 6,001,414,146. lol I have no idea. A good way to sot him is supposedly, if a person gets really popular in the middle east, there is your man... or woman even. Although I am betting it will be a guy. By popular I mean he will be influential and very well liked. People will actually look to this man for guidance in political views and other things. He will "have all the answers"

Comparing Revelations to Daniel may sound convenient to Bible apologists, but it is like comparing oceanography to automobile mechanics. While Revelations deals with events that are contemporary to the author, Daniel is a total anachronism, and appears to have been written long after the events it claims. The reason for this is that the author confuses the events and their settings on a scale so stupifying that it could not have been written by anyone involved in them. This is analogous to the gospels account, which somehow has the Pharisees and Sadducees in league, even though the two were bitter rivals at the time. I should also point out that Daniel isn't even written in the same language completely. Parts of it were written in Hebrew whereas others in Aramaic. This suggests it had more than 1 author.

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.

Hehe that shouldn't stop you! (wait what am i saying?!) Nero did it pretty well himself, almost relishing his self granted role as the anti-christ! Yet I don't think he was Christian himself.

I guess you could just maintain a very heavy loathing for religion, somehow get Satan on your side, gain more political power than any leader in the history of the Earth and try to re-education religious folk under pain of torture and death.

Who has the 66th reply to this thread?

 

[Bill3000]

The Golden Ratio (1.618..., equal to (1 + sqrt(5))/2) is equal to -2*sin(666 degrees). IT IS THE SINE OF THE BEAST!

Any one ever hear that Ronald Reagan was the Anti-Christ because each one of his names has 6 letters.
Ronald=6 Wilson=6 Reagan=6,
Wow it is amazing that we let this happen.

People are 33%* less likely to make that comment when you did in fact post a snippet with the link, I'll have you know thanks anyway.

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.

Jesus was born ~6 B.C. Kinda skews the arithmetic there. Nevermind the fact that presuming '666' is a date, related to the birth of Christ, is a total pull-something-out-of-the-air speculative premise. Also, you're assuming it's in the 2nd millenia A.D. because... why?

The number 6 is the main focus. For a long, long time, there's been a ranking scale of spiritual powers, wherein man is ranked at the #5 level, God at #7 (thus perhaps related to God's affinity for the number 7, as the Bible refers to many times). Level 6 is the spiritual powers bridging hte gap between man and God. Powers greater than man, yet less than the Lord Allmighty. So, all that matters here is that according to scripture there will be a level-6 incarnate amongst mankind (yet again), but this time he will deceive many, and ultimately bring about the Apocolypse. A great battle of some kind, followed by dark days, then eventually good and righteousness will be restored.

A natural purging and cleansing process. That's the way I think about it. But, I wouldn't get all wraped up into the 'mysteries', 'legends' and 'splendor'. It's easy to become deceived. As the Bible says in the passage in question, you must have wisdom to understand. Guessing, is not part of the equation.

Some believe the code '666' was written that way, in reference to the Roman Empire. That way, the readers of the time would understand what it implied, without actually studying a text that would cause the legions to come knocking down your door (Rome had little tolerance for beligerancy of any kind - brute force was used to quickly quell any insubordination, and serve as an example of what would happen to anyone else that thought about it).

Or, perhaps the 'name written as a number', is an anonymous name, symbolizing that we should always be on guard, because there will be someone there at every turn to challenge our convictions to faith.

In any case, I don't lose any sleep over it. Throughout history, lots of people come up with their own special little codes, etc. which they think are so cute, and the more time that goes by, the more the hype builds. Bah...
