What you claim in your post is in fact a great deception. ;)

Post by: Clave on May 07, 2005, 04:44:59 am: 6 + 6 + 6 = 18... not an unlucky number

6 + 1 + 6 = 13... hmm....

On the other hand, 18 = life in Judaism.

And Jews are bad people. So therefore it works?

Post by: TrashMan on May 07, 2005, 05:43:41 pm: There is no "number of the beast".
It's all a bunch of crap...

If you knew how that number came to be in the first place, you would drop from your chair from laughing...

current year 8at that time) - year when pope Pio X (well, some pope..can't remeber which one exactly) was born + number of ships in american fleet = 666...

An example of this spelling has apparently been recently discovered in one of the Dead Sea scrolls. If you use the same process, but without the added "n" the result is 616. Interestingly, some early manuscripts have 616 rather than 666, but even scholars such as Irenæus [A.D. 120-202] attribute the 616 to only a copyist error (Against Heresies: Book V Chapter XXX.), "this number [666] being found in all the most approved and ancient copies" [of the Apocalypse] and asserts that "men who saw John face to face bearing their testimony" [to it - 666].

There is a problem though with the above calculation. According to the rules of Jewish numerology, known as gematria, when the letter Nun appears a second time in a word, it is known as a "Final", and takes the value of 700.* So to be precise, NRWN QSR actually adds up to 1316 and not 666.

interesting

Post by: Ace on May 08, 2005, 03:09:29 pm: Well considering the fact that Nero tried to blame the burning of Rome on the christian "terrorists" it's pretty clear that he was one of the folks being referred to.

Because of how political revelations was, it almost wasn't put into the final canon. If it wasn't, some events would be playing out quite differently now...

In contradiction to most other cultures, 13 is actually a "lucky" number to the Jews. 13 is the age when boys have their Bar Mitzvah.
