666

["Kyrie eleison"]

[quote name='Groo the Wanderer' post='1384891' date='Sep 13 2007, 01:26 PM']Nah. The designation of the verses of the Bible didn't come about until the 16th century, I believe.[/quote]

I do find it telling as those who did walk away in John 6:66 were the Jews who could not take Jesus teaching about his flesh and blood and that we must eat his flesh and blood to have everlasting life.

[quote name='kafka' post='1384873' date='Sep 13 2007, 10:44 AM']{13:18} Here is wisdom. Whoever has intelligence, let him determine the number of the beast. For it is the number of a man, and his number is six hundred and sixty-six.

~ The number is the name of the Antichrist. H[b]is name has six letters in his first name, six letters in his middle name, and six letters in his last name[/b]. Some ancient manuscripts have the number as 616, which stands for the six letters in his first name, the one letter of his middle initial, and the six letters in his last name. This is the correct interpretation because it fits the chapter and verse numbers: 6 + 1 + 6 = 13 and 6 + 6 + 6 = 18; the chapter is 13 and the verse is 18.

Furthermore, the number 600, written in Aramaic, is written as 400-200 (the character for 400 and the character for 200 joined together), therefore, [b]one of his names (the first or the last?) will have the six letters separated by a hyphen: 4 letters – 2 letters.[/b][/quote]

Numeric values for letters doesn't sound like a plausable answer.

Romans 1 touches on the end days also... group all of the end days verses, then you get a better picture... such as in Romans it speaks of the end days there will be a lot of homosexual activity, and the people that give approval for those actions will also pay.

"If man is five
if man is five
if man is five
and the devil is six
and the devil is six
and the devil is six
then God is seven
then God is seven
then God is seven,
This monkey's gone to heaven."

Doesn't the number thing rely on English alphabets?

That seems silly to me.

But is interesting if it is true.

God's number is 3. (Trinity)
Man's number is 6, falling just short of perfect....
666 is man trying to make himself God.[/quote]

This is similar to the explanation that i have learned.

7 and 3 are perfect numbers.
6, being one short of perfection, is imperfection.
For 6 to be repeated 3 times then is [i]perfect imperfection[/i].

interesting thoughts. Antichrist will be thoroughly evil and he will freely cooperate with Satan and the fallen Angels. He will be the polar opposite of Christ as the False Prophetess will be the polar opposite of Holy Mary. Notice in Revelation:

{19:20} And the beast was apprehended, and with him the false prophetess, who in his presence caused the signs, by which she seduced those who accepted the character of the beast and who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the pool of fire burning with sulphur.

~Antichrist and the False Prophetess are the only two ever to be cast body and soul into Hell before the general resurrection just as Christ and Mary are the only two to enter body and soul into Heaven.

Will the anti-Christ KNOW he is the Anti-Christ?

He'd at least have an inkling...what with the evil and all.

Not likely. It is a rare thing for evil to accept that it is evil, and do what is evil because it is evil. Generally, these sorts are totally mad, and mostly harmless on a global scale.

Generally, the really big bad ones are those who dismiss the good/evil dichotomy, and simply name self as the only thing important, and everything and everyone else as objects. People are only tools and obstructions, existing only for personal pleasure or personal discomfort. Even a concept of Providence is hazy in their eyes, and even God exists for solely for him.

Also, remember, the more dead to sin one is, the less they feel further sin.

What translation is that? My Bible doesn't have prophetess, it has prophet.
