How Will We Know "666" When We See It?

lisadear · October 12, 2009, 06:13:33 PM

the 666 already happened. The Hebrew letters have a numerical value and the word "Caesar" in Hebrew adds up or equals 666. To enter that Roman marketplace you needed to have the mark of Caesar to enter, to buy and sell. Alot of what was written about in Revelation was describing the Roman empire. Which make much more sense than the crazy left behind christian speculation.

Quote from: Julie Marie on August 19, 2009, 03:03:11 PMSo how will we know "666" when we see it? What form will it take?

Quote from: Revelation 13:16-17
16) And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond,
to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17) And that no man might buy or sell, save he that he had the mark,
or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

We assume that the mark will be a number, if we consider the above to be
evidence, it will not be. The "spirit" of the passage is that the "Anti-Christ" will establish
a financial system that will allow no one to be able to buy or sell unless they are part
of that system. For one to take part in the system they must, among other things,
submit to receiving some sort of "mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads"
According to "The New Strong Exhaustive Concordance" the definition of "mark" is:

Quote from: The New Strong Exhaustive Concordance(Greek) 5480. xapayua charagma, khar'-ag-mah;
from the same as (Greek) 5482; a scratch or etching,
i.e. stamp (as a badge of servitude), or
sculptured figure (statue):- graven, mark.

(Greek) 5482. xapat, charax, khar'-ax; from xapaoow charasso
(to sharpen, to apoint; akin to (Greek) 1125 through the idea of scratching);
a stake, i.e. (by impl.) a palisade or rampart
(military mound for circumvallation in a siege);-trench.

Now let us put on our tin foil hats. From the above definition, it is possible to extrapolate that the "mark"
will be a graven image (RFI "chip") and inserted "in their right hand, or in their foreheads"
with "a palisade or rampart" (a needle). Just my conspiratorial ranting.

I find it interesting how it's known that Bill Gates III, in ASCII code adds up to 666, and Microsoft is one of the largest monopoly corporations on Earth. Just thought I'd throw that out there

heatherrose · October 13, 2009, 08:56:24 PM

I find it curious that a mega-global corporation with a computer system considered to be
only seconded in it's size and power by the United States military, championing the use of
"Radio Frequency Identifier" technology, has it's roots in the "buy or sell" industry.

WALMART

I do not believe that Walmart (Sam Walton) or Microsoft (Bill Gates) is the
Anti-Christ but I do believe the technology that these companies have
developed, unbeknown to them, is part of the "Beast", which the Anti-Christ
will use to control the world, if he/she/it should ever rise to power.

Many believe there are three anti-christs. The first one was Napoleon, the second Hitler and the third yet to rise to power. Nostradamus named them Napaulon Roy, Hister, and Mabus. People have done all sorts of things with Mabus in order to find who that may be but since the first two sounded so much like the actual names, I'm waiting until I hear a name that sounds like Mabus before I jump on the bandwagon.

Maybe it was Ma Bush and we all missed it!

Anyone with a half a brain will not have "666" stamped on their forehead and expect to fool people into believing he/she is the second coming.

So how will we know "666" when we see it? What form will it take?

Julie

As Jemi Hendrix once said, "what if 6 turns out to be 9"

But anyways, if the proficy is true such as to be fulfilled, then there can be no succesful fight and thus it would seem there is no need of knowing how to recognize 666. Besides, would one not be innocent if they did not know? If they followed a bearer of the mark, but with good intentions, perhaps knowingly or not, then what punishment would be righteously given?

someone correct me if im wrong but the anti christ and the false priest or profet (forgive my spelling) are two of three desidarious that currently roam the earth the first being legion or (six) who will assume the form of a great military leader with a plan to end a global war which begins in the middle east the second leviathan a demon that assumes the role of world spirital leader uniting the world under one religion of false prophesy and who displays the mark of the beast upon the world. together they decieve the world and herold in the second coming of christ. the third was actually destroyed by christ when he/she/it entered into direct confrontation with him.

The punishment for all the followers is The Lake of Fire. Not to be confused with the Cuyahoga River, which for a while was a river of fire.

Man Of Peace - Bob Dylan

Look out your window, baby, there's a scene you'd like to catch,
The band is playing "Dixie," a man got his hand outstretched.
Could be the Fuhrer
Could be the local priest.
You know sometimes
Satan comes as a man of peace.

He got a sweet gift of gab, he got a harmonious tongue,
He knows every song of love that ever has been sung.
Good intentions can be evil,
Both hands can be full of grease.
You know that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.

Well, first he's in the background, then he's in the front,
Both eyes are looking like they're on a rabbit hunt.
Nobody can see through him,
No, not even the Chief of Police.
You know that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.

Well, he catch you when you're hoping for a glimpse of the sun,
Catch you when your troubles feel like they weigh a ton.
He could be standing next to you,
The person that you'd notice least.
I hear that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.

Well, he can be fascinating, he can be dull,
He can ride down Niagara Falls in the barrels of your skull.
I can smell something cooking,
I can tell there's going to be a feast.
You know that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.

He's a great humanitarian, he's a great philanthropist,
He knows just where to touch you, honey, and how you like to be kissed.
He'll put both his arms around you,
You can feel the tender touch of the beast.
You know that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.

Well, the howling wolf will howl tonight, the king snake will crawl,
Trees that've stood for a thousand years suddenly will fall.
Wanna get married? Do it now,
Tomorrow all activity will cease.
You know that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.

Somewhere Mama's weeping for her blue-eyed boy,
She's holding them little white shoes and that little broken toy
And he's following a star,
The same one them three men followed from the East.
I hear that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.

forty years after Jesus said all this was going to happen. they book of revelation was written to get them through that time, but to day it is used just like hell to scare people into submition. "much study dueth make the heart weary" Book of Psalms.

Given what is said, and not said, it's assumed that the Revelation of John was written between 65 and 70, C.E.

justmeinoz · July 07, 2010, 07:25:04 AM

I read something a while ago showing that 666 was in fact a mis-translation, and the number is actually 616. So, how does that affect all the fruitcakes? Not to mention all the metal-heads who will have to get their tattoos altered!
