White Knight Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Ok, Now I heard this from a Non Catholic and Catholic Resouce at one time or another, and both of them said there was a meaning to the number 666, and that it stood for the Demonic Trinity. I dont really believe them, because they offer no acual evidence. 6 being the number of Sin and Satan 6 being the number of Anti-Christ 6 being the number of the False Prophet. 666, One Evil, All the Devil. I heard it from this dude here his website is this. (its non Catholic) [url="http://www.jhm.org"]John Hagee [/url] The Catholic one I heard on TV and no nothing of this person. but He claimed to be Catholic the one on TV, but also said something about the Demonic Trinity. What does the Acually Catholic CHurch believe on this? Is it True or is it a bunch of Hershey's or however you spelt it I'm tired lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorphRC Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 666. Only refers to the devil or the anti-christ. Some also believe that 616 was suppose to be the actual numeral, but 666 came out. Ill try and get some official information on it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorphRC Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 [color=red][font="Times"][b]Apocalypse[/b][/color][/font] [b]The ten horns are commonly explained as the vassal rulers under the supremacy of Rome. They are described as kings (basileis), here to be taken in a wider sense, that they are not real kings, but received power to rule with the beast. Their power, moreover, is but for one hour, signifying its short duration and instability (xvii, 17). The Seer has marked the beast with the number 666.[/b] His purpose was that by this number people may know it. He that has understanding, let him count the number of the beast. For it is the number of a man: and his number is six hundred and sixty-six. A human number, i.e. intelligible by the common rules of investigation. We have here an instance of Jewish gematria. Its object is to conceal a name by substituting for it a cipher of equal numerical value to the letters composing it. [b]For a long time interpreters tried to decipher the number 666 by means of the Greek alphabet, e.g. Irenæus, "Adv. Haer.", V, 33. Their efforts have yielded no satisfactory result. Better success has been obtained by using the Hebrew alphabet. Many scholars have come to the conclusion that Nero is meant. For when the name "Nero Caesar" is spelled with Hebrew letters, it yields the cipher 666.[/b] [url="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/01594b.htm"]New Advent: Apocalypse[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p0lar_bear Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Evil, by its nature, causes discord, disunity. It would seem impossible for evil, then to have 'trinity' because the Trinity is a unity of three persons, none more powerful than the other. It doesn't seem that evil would stand for a "tie" or sharing of power.... just my thoughts.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
