666

[Robbie]

I don't care if anyone thinks I'm a man, makes it more fun. I picture myself with a beard and pint of ale, smoking a pipe. If Sririam was around he'd say I might have been a man in a different life. With the fair Stephanie by my side.

Oh blimey, don't tell me I was getting Steve H's name wrong all this time. I was looking at the avatar - must be a photo of her pin up!

Sorry Stephanie.

Didn't you know? Steve H wrote 1984 and Animal Farm

[Robbie]

I'm surprised, she doesn't seem old enough. Or well....

I'm sure you're a good example of the female gender, I've never questioned that, but now having said that and considering the drift of this particular post of yours, the thought came to mind of Froid's theory about young girls anxiety about not having a penis and consequently suffering some form of penis envy.

My niece is a Dr of psychology I'll have to have a word about this with her, you've jogged my memory of this  from when my wife started on child psychology some years back, seriously Froid did have a theory about this, I don't get it myself.

With this kind of subject it's a minefield of double entedre, if there are any included, in wot i rote, I assure you they are entirely unintentional.

Kind regards to you Rob, ippy

Ippy:- ..the thought came to mind of Froid's theory about young girls anxiety about not having a penis and consequently suffering some form of penis envy.

I was joking about imagining myself as a man, in case you wondered  , enjoy being a girl. Just going along with the lighthearted banter - & honestly never thought my nickname of Robbie was particularly masculine as I've known a Roberta and a Miss Robertson who were called that by friends. I'm called it at work and like it.

However, in Freud's day men had all the power so it figures some women envied men, especially if they were intelligent and ambitious; I think that's more the case than actually wishing they had a penis.

No-one really knows what 666 means, but one theory is that it represents the satanic anti-trinity: seven was supposed to represent perfection, so it three times tries to achieve perfection, but each time falls short.

It represents the numerical value of the name of a man.

That was easy.

It represents the numerical value of the name of a man.

That was easy.

And how is this numerical value determined?

Not so easy!

President Reagan's middle name was Wilson: three names, each with six letters. Ergo, President Reagan was the Beast of Revelation.

If you are a preterist 666 is thought to be 'Nero Caesar'. His name, written in Aramaic, can be valued at 666, using the Hebrew numerology of gematria.

The number 666 also relates to the carbon atom, and man. Carbon-12; one of 5 elements in the human DNA is composed of 6 protons, 6 electrons and 6 neutrons, which equates to 666.

Much of Revelation was written, not as a background for "Rapture Ready" Christians to throw a party, but as a polemic and allegory of the situation in the Empire in the provinces of Syria, Palestine and Asia Minor in the mid-late first century.
Certainly the book goes on to use typical apocalyptic language to look forward to the parousia, but sometimes sorting out which bit is which requires prayer, understanding and paracetamol.

The Revelation of St John was written in Greek for a Greek speaking audience.  He would have used the Greek numeral system and in some early versions of the text, it is actually 616, not 666.

The number 666 also relates to the carbon atom, and man. Carbon-12; one of 5 elements in the human DNA is composed of 6 protons, 6 electrons and 6 neutrons, which equates to 666.

The number 666 is not related to the carbon atom. In the Greek counting system, 600, 60 and 6 all have different symbols: 666 was rendered  χξϛ (and 616 as χιϛʹ)

The more I think about it the more convinced I am that 666 refers to the coming together of all those who follow a single evil philosophy, in these 'last days'. You see, it is a future prophecy and therefore 666 is a future reference. Isaiah is a man and 666 is the number of a man and in Isaiah 66:6 we find that Almighty God, and Jesus Christ will inflict a terrible judgment upon all those people who dabble in lies and deceit...all in the twinkling of an eye...so it is wise for us all to replace our own lies with truth, before that great and terrible day...which, I suggest, isn't  so very far away.

[Nearly Sane]

Welcome back, Nicholas.

[NicholasMarks]

Thank you NS

[Anchorman]

Welcome back, NM. I may not always agree with you, but it's great to see your po st.

[NicholasMarks]

Thank you Anchorman

Unfortunately for your theory, the chapter and verse numbers of the Bible are not part of the original text, but a later addition.

You missed the point Steve...being,that, future prophecy is  entitled to use a future truth in its description. For instance...who would have thought that a 'Red Dragon would appear in our  skies, but now, 2000 years later...observers are saying, it is here.

What observers, NM?
Where's the Red Dragon?
Has Wales put a man on the moon?

Of course, the 'Red Dragon' is a Biblical prophecy in Revelation which deserves its very own thread...but there are many observers all over Youtube, if you care to look...but, be warned, it is being hidden from those who only look with half a Biblical insight.

[NicholasMarks]

Isaiah 66:6

Hear that uproar from the city, hear that noise from the temple! It is the sound of the LORD repaying his enemies all they deserve.

Notice the word...ALL...This is an end of times prophecy when all evil will pay the price for what has preceded that end. We know from the Holy Bible that good and evil will live side by side until that fateful day when Revelation 21:8 will be invoked...and it is now time to attach ourselves to Jesus Christ's righteous teaching...but only if we want saving so that we clearly cannot be mistaken as being part of that Biblical number, 666...it is the number of a man.
