    Hi there, mt.radio,

    With all these computations going around, complete with “documents” – it will always be easy for anyone to believe that the “beast” in Revelation refers to Nero. But it says – “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 threescore and six.” In short, only those who had understanding & wisdom will be able to count these numbers.

    What the Bible was referring here was the “great deception” in the faith of man. And personally, I don’t think Nero has anything to do with it. Nero was long gone and we all hardly feel any effect of his existence, don’t you agree, Bro? Has Nero done any damage on your “relationship” with your Creator? Of course NOT.

    And assuming that by adding someone’s letters of name, can I also fit the “beast” to this man? “VICARIVS FILII DEI” (this is the title of the pope of the Roman church-inscribe on his crown). V=5 (used twice), I=1 (used 6 times), C=100, L=50, D=500. Try summing the equivalent and you get the same sum – 666. And what about the word “Lateinos” (the historical language of Rome) which also total to 666? Rome, in its Hebrew name – “Romiith” also totals 666? You see, you only have Nero’s name as a single “proof” of this 666, and I have 3 of them that points to one direction – the seat of Catholicism.

    But there is more to it than “summing up letters” mt. radio. The Bible says “someone needs wisdom & understanding”. Above, I gave you 3 samples. Now, I’ll give you the 4th…

    Number 7 in the Bible implies “perfect number” (Infinite as you may say). Number 3 implies the same as it involves many accounts-like 3days of Jesus under the earth; God, Son, & Holy Spirit signifies 3 divine powers, etc. If #7 is a perfect number in the Bible, then, #6 will be the immediate “imperfect” number, agree? And if this “imperfect” number is used 3 times (3 is also a perfect number), then what sum do we get here? It will be “PERFECT IMPERFECTION”. Do you follow?

    The Bible was referring here a “great deception” in the faith of mankind, mt. radio. And this man that carries this numbers is the culprit . Well, I don’t think they’re aware of it.

    More to it should you desire to know more…

    GOD BLESS…

    To add to what "Not perfect, just forgiven" detailed;

    666 is representative as man in his most carnal (fleshly) state.

    In Genesis after God finished, He entered into a state of rest.

    6 is one day shy of a full week - the sabbath - which the bible says was made for man - not man made for it.

    6 is one shy of perfection (the number 7) because it lacks the state of rest.

    In Revelations we are warned that one contrary to the truth will "have a form of godliness but deny the power thereof"

    The power it speaks of is relative to a place of resting in the knowledge of truth.

    There is divine power in being in a state of rest.

    Rest for your soul

    When a wo/man submits to divine rest and the power of being in it, s/he transends him/herself and enters into a state of abandon (rest). This can be achieved in meditation on and in walking in the truth. Only one has been defined in sacred writings as "the way, the truth and the life".

    No life can come without fullness and rest - work then rest.

    Think about it a second.

    Okay, I'll spell it out for you adults in the audience.

    Sex (procreation) requires work then rest (after orgasm) - seed combines with seed and life is birthed.

    Both seeds (egg and sperm) has to die in order for life to begin.

    Jesus gave his life already. Man has to do his part - give his life - before he can enter into a state waiting waiting for him/her.

    Maybe if you studied this state of rest (which so many "religions" define in varied terms) you will glean an more formadible understanding of what the "mark of the beast" really means. After all it does represent the culmination of the end of man.

    Furthermore, scripture commands all to "Examine yourself to see if you be in the way." Are you walking His way or are you confidently within your will, (leaning on your own understanding) standing in the way of His will for your life?

    Bottomline is this; 666 represents the state of man who has not yet been reborn into truth and the power it provides - liberty in the knowledge of the truth.

    Try to keep in mind that knowing something is essentially having an intimate connection with it. So, knowing truth means you have become intimate with it.

    Hence my reason for the sex analogy. It is the truth that you know that will make you free.

    both have been used in early texts. 666 and 616 equals Nero and Neron (though not necessarily respectively)

    The Mark of the Beast is 666. You DON'T want that mark anywhere on you.

    It has to do with Nero. In Latin his name adds up to only 616.

    666

    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 threescore and six.

    Revelation 13:18

    King James Version

  • 666.

    6 is the number of man.

    7 is the number of God's perfection.

    777=Father, Son, and Holy Ghost

    666=Satan, antichrist, and false prophet

    Satan because of his pride and envy copies God, but always falls short.
