Stigma has more than one symbol, and 'S' is one of them.

It is only since the advent of computers and electronic banking that this prophecy could be fulfilled.”

I don’t see John predicting any global economy system anywhere. Mind telling me where that is? I mean, it’s the ramblings in Revelation, like 14:3-4 Only 144,000 celibate men will be saved. (Those who were not "defiled with women."😉
So any man who’s had sex is going to Hell.
😆

Anyways: Why 666? Is RR the only one with some kind of explanation? Why not 555? Or 666666666? Or…
It’s not a prime-number, it’s sum i 9, not a prime either… so why 666?

Isn’t it conceivable that someone mistranslated something back in the middle-ages? Does someone know what the original text says?

Rev 13:18 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.

The beast represents the Anti-christ that is suppose to reign on earth 7 years.

I dont think Bush would be the anti christ... sorry

the anti christ is suppose to be someone who has the answers to everything.. and can cure all diseases.. like AIDS, Cancer, common cold... and will have the answer for world peace.. so on

and we will all love the anti-christ - cause they will have the answer for everything
as far as I know - not all of us love Bush - dont think Bush or Hilary Clinton will have all the answers either

not sure if the anti-christ is going to be a yanky

could it even be more of a shape rather than directly relating to the number?

If you even believe in the Anti-Christ.

<-----Your answer lies with a spunky little red droid.

(And yet another dumba$$ thread 🙄 ) I hate 666 period. Anytime I see 666 involved with something I know someone did/will/is going to/is going to die soon/eventually/later, etc. Hell, I call 13-year olds Demon Children unless their actually nice kids.

The number is a code....... if u know how to decipher it, u get the name of the person who will be the antichrist. It never said that the number would be put on foreheads. The mark of the beast would be put, it could be referring to the chip implants that motorola has introduced for medical purposes

He thinks he has.

He thinks we do.

Why not?

I believe 666 is evil because in Christianity 3 is perfection and 6 is imperfection. Thus three 6's would mean perfect imperfection. Thats what I was told by a smart friend of mine at least. How 3 came to mean perfection and 6 come to mean imperfection is beyond me.

so why not 6666 instead then, the more imperfect number the worse the

i already explained y 🙄

so like, if a book had 666 pages,would it be considered an evil book? 😬

but ive never heard of the evil 666 thing before 😛

Because whoever wrote Revalations hated math as a kid.

Seriously though, I must be evil or something, because I've always liked sixes and multiples of six for some reason...

In "Monkey Gone To Heaven" by the Pixies, there's a line about this. Something like, "If the man is five, and the devil is six, then god is seven." Not that this has anything to do with anything.
