Mark of the beast

[Willum]

Submitted for your consideration:

I believe the 666 connotation represents three things that are aptly described by Revelations:

Money is easily described as it.
Media and communications (wearable cell phones anyone?) can also be something inferred from Revelation's description of the Mark.

and some third 6.

Six is a number of the the beast in actuality. Just as the five-pointed star represents magic from the sacrifice of man, 1=head, 2,3=arms 4,5 legs, so the six pointed star represent the magic from sacrifice of beasts: as above 1-5, and a sixth point from the tail of animals.

Are there any expansions on these assertions being further correct or incorrect? and from this, is it possible to discover the representation of the final "6?"

Could this also thus mean, a third sacrifice?

Wasn't it originally 616, but then mistakenly reported as 666 because that looks more striking?

Dude, if you're going to drop a bomb like that make some assumptions and draw some conclusions, or show some kind of relevance.

I linked the evidence...

So it is 616, not 666, great way to end a discussion if that's where you were going, but then I just ask, "what does the '1' mean then?"

It's the same discussion.

One six can still be money, one media-- and the one...?
or the other six?

Dear Wil,
The oldest written version of the number of the beast is 616, not 666. The beast with two horns like a lamb of Rev 13, is the same little horn of Daniel 7, who was to "intend to make changes in the times and Law", and who subdued three kings.

The beast with two horns like a lamb is Constantine, who subdued 3 kings being (Daia, Severus, and Licinius). He intended to change the law and the times, for his decree of 321 AD changed the day of rest from the Sabbath to the "day of the sun", and he intended to change the Law through his Council of Nicaea, which held that their was a trinity of gods, versus the Commandments of God, which said their is only one God. Constantine formatted the Roman church at his convened Council of Nicaea which is just another daughter of Babylon which sits on the shoulder of Rome, who receives their authority through the "dragon"/devil. The number of Constantine's name and title is 616. Caius Flavius Valerius Constantinus the Great King of Rome. The two horns of the beast are the false prophet Paul, and the "Worthless shepherd" Peter (Zech 11), both of which were glorified by Constantine when he built basilicas for each.

A mark on one's hand and forehead, according to Dt 6:8, is to keep the commandments of that individual. A mark of the beast, would be a mark that you keep his commandments. A mark of God, is that you keep God's commandments.

Don't bother. For some reason this doesn't seem to matter to Willum.

Yeah, it doesn't bother me...
It doesn't much change the discussion... one six is money
is it?
One six is media
is it?
and the third six/middle one is...?

Gosh, discussing implications of theology on this page is like pulling teeth. Is no one interested in discovering more about their religion by exploring it?

Hi Willum, the text says, "Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number is six hundred and sixty-six." This suggests to me that it refers to a man and that it is an actual number that needs to be calculated.

I have heard that the number is recorded as 666 and 616 as Pazuzu bin Hanbi has stated.

An interesting explanation I heard was by an english mathematician that said it seems to be a code for Nero. In Greek and Hebrew numbers are written as letters and the numbers for Neron Caesar in Hebrew = 666 (Neron is how his name was often written) If you prefer 616 then Nero Caesar = 616.

I would like to hear more about why you think 666 refers to three things.

[Pazuzu bin Hanbi]

If it's 'often' then give me 6 examples. I have never actually heard of him referred to as 'Neron'.
