666 - The Mark of the Beast - Forewarned is Forearmed

Was that the corner with the 668 hookers?

 

it isn't really unfortunate, the complexity of the world holds infinite fascination, but it can also be fairly alienating at times, and our desire to impose our own forms of systemic order onto it leads to all sorts of problems.

 

If you didn't catch what I implied, it can be summed up like this: Instead of posting nonsense, why don't you drag your sorry avatars over to the 'Agnosticism & Atheism', 'Mysticism' or 'Existentialism & the Absurd' Forum (start one) or somewhere your comments might vaguely & somewhat coherently FIT the TOPIC instead of uselessly skulking around on a thread I started in order to intelligently discuss an issue of specific interest among others who are interested? Although it seems like it would be a stretch for you... :dizzy2::smash::cuss:

Obviously Free Speech is not enough for some: They have to be the ones to yell 'fire' in a crowded theater just to see the havoc that ensues when there actually is no fire. (or start shooting at everybody in a crowd since they don't believe in reality)

This is what moderators are for & why mods frown on off-topic posts, so that envious, indolent passers-by are not just knocking down a subject to destroy the thread of coherent discussion & targeting personalities who make valid comments because of their own lack of interest in the first place. It's just a matter of time.

You fit the description of 'Pool Pissers' in other posts: the socially obtuse out on the road of reality who invite themselves to a party so they can eat & drink & trash the place. "The thief comes not except to steal & to kill & to destroy. I am come that they might have life & have it more abundantly." arty:

I know these metaphors will escape you, so just to refresh your vacant memories, I b egan a topic where we are discussing the 666 & what that actually could be, & welcome associated replies to the thread. Find some suggestions above or go make your own thread. Freedom also encompasses the fact that you are free to leave.

 

with respect, i was not posting nonsense. I still have yet to understand what it was specifically about my post which so offended you, in order that you should then respond so aggressively and offensively.

i posted something and you replied by going into a discussion of the nature of the devil and how he operates. i found that interesting so i offered my own thoughts (thoughts, incidentally, which, to great extent, agreed with your own, incidentally, although i suppose that that doesn't matter), as this is an area which has interested me and informed my studies over the last half year. i did not think that this was particularly off topic, as the new area of discussion had already been opened up at that stage (by the very person who started the thread). besides, if 666 is the mark of the beast, and the beast is the devil, then discussion of the devil as an entity is at least tangentially related to the spirit of the thread, i would have thought.

anyway, yeah.

enjoy your thread.

 

Many people online have disproven the bar code theory, that it doesn't contain three sixes. OK, bar codes were creepy when they first came out & there was even a wry commercial showing a cashier scanning the bar code on some customer's head. Point taken. Also I recall that the Christian right on the radio was predicting Yasser Arafat was the Anti-Christ. Oops, Yasser be dead & long gone, Bro. That's also typical knee-jerk reaction hoping to be the first to hop on prophetic fulfillment without really looking at the Scriptures. From what I heard, some off-the-cliff thumpers have said that about every US President including Roosevelt (one of my only favorites) who pushed daylight savings time on us as the fulfillment of 'he shall think to change times & laws' of the Book of Daniel's predictions. I'm not seeing that even mentioned in this sole of brevity article about DST - http://www.snopes.com/science/daylight.asp People also loosely reference Ben Franklin (That's his head on the 100'$) as having been credited with its invention, but he merely mused about it in a satirical 1784 article. The US adopted it in 1918 & chucked it in 1919, yada yada.. It was randomly abandoned '45 through '66 & after the 'energy crisis of '73 gave it impetus, good old Tricky Dicky Nixon hissfahnself made everybody do it between months in '74 & '75. He was an Asshole indeed, so I'd blame him although Nostradamus doesn't make any references to him nor was he one the the three great antichrists even though he was off the charts politically. (I had to laugh when I was channel surfing the other day & that old preacher on CBN who talks like he's had a stroke & way too much 'abundant living' was calling Obama 'a dictator', —I'm like Dude, that's what you get from only talking to other church people & a steady diet of Fox News. The right-wing God & Country doctrines are so damn twisted almost no dumb sheep can figure out the truth. I guess that's why Dylan soon opted out of the religious circle after he found the Lord.

I don't think any President can become a dictator in the US considering the checks & balances of various departments of government & term limits. If you read a recent article in Time about who is screwing things up, it's the GOP. So evidently Obama can't schmooze or order those guys to do anything. They're just plain obstinate. Anyway, since this is my thread, I digress.

I'm just saying, coming back thru the Wayback Machine, Sherman, that Preachers don't know the Prophecies as to whois & whatis & their people only know here-say. If they did, they could logically filter out guys like Arafat or Sadaam, which gets to the point of this particular thread addition.

WTF IS the Mark of the Beast? It might appear to some to be rather 'like' a bar code in the right hand or forehead, but it would more aesthetically be an invisible one; or a chip (balky & unfashionable) —but as can be seen with animal ID's, a micro-thread inserted under the skin provides plenty of data as to that particular beast as it merely references corroborating computer info already stored.

As with that bar code thing, stuff in prophecy can be 'like something' but not 'it'. Foreshadowings. Partial fulfillments that lead up to the main fulfillment. So a normal spiritual human being can't even tell what it is until it actually happens, but these shadowings tweak our antennae & wake us up to the fact that the tech is out there & it wouldn't take much for a world Dictator (sorry CBN Dorkmeister, it's not Obama, go back to your mansion & your $100,000 doghouse). I mean, they wouldn't know the AC if he spit in their faces because most of these System Christians are walking down the same road as the Devil anyway. I wonder how many of them are actually going to head for the hills when they love their money so much, when some Government starts handing out the Mark saying 'you can't buy or sell unless you have the number...'

Again, credit cards were the first foreshadowing, but it's obviously not just a credit card. You get my take? It's plenty like some stuff we've seen happen over the last 50 years & computers take the cake, but these are only pieces of a puzzle. That's why I am throwing this out there, to see if anyone has more of a glimpse of big picture. Cause when you throw these tidbits out there, the sci-fi connections & predictions & actuality, things that are newly invented or in the news; or get tried in some other country & then abandoned because people won't bite starts to come together.

Revelation 13:4b - "And they worshiped the dragon which gave power unto the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him?

I want to know what or who is 'like unto the Beast'. It's out there & there are a lot of brain cells going to waste on other stuff, so please don't kill this thread. It's an open forum about the 666 but it's not an open mic on your profound lack of belief that you are struggling with. If anyone is trying to interpret this into a tribute to Satan, just make your own thread somewhere else that says that & I'm sure you'll get a huge following of posters there. There are forums for that kind of religion, so go there as there are forums for everything else under the sun. Wouldn't you rather speak to the like-minded? I'm not inviting people to my party so they can piss in my pool. And this is not aimed at any one individual, so keep your listener's generosity in check, keep an open mind & don't kill this thread, since if people see an argument rather than a string of contributors, they go elsewhere cuz that thread is DOA.

The stuff's all around us, so I wonder what other people are thinking... :rockon:

 

i've been hearing about the biblical end of the world since before i can remember
that's what i get for existing i guess, lol

 

I Have A Birthday Coming Up In A Few Days Time,

And On That Day, I Will Turn 66, Should I Be Afraid...:hide:..??



Cheers Glen.

 

I don't believe in a literal "Devil", "Satan" or the "Beast." I think these are Humankind's personification of our capacity for doing evil,Just as angels and prophets are our personification for doing good.These concepts are all externalizations of drives and forces that reside in all of us.Not to recognise this is to pass the buck and not take responsibility.I do however think there may be people in places of power who align themselves with the "Beast",and maybe even believe such a thing to be a higher power.But they are brainwashed by their own delusional psychology.Self-fullfilling prophecies can be dangerous.All over the world now people are demonstrating for their rights and a more equal share - but not so much in America.There is something on the move certainly.

 

You know, one thing I found interesting that coincides with what you are saying is the concept that different countries or areas of the World are run by spiritual forces behind the scenes, both good & evil & there is war going on that spans the course of time like in this verse: Then said he unto me, Fear not Daniel; for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words. But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one & twenty days: but lo Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; & I remained there with the kings of Persia. Daniel 10:12, 13. So there is a demon prince of Persia (hey —great title for a Movie, eh?) ruling that part of the mideast. And Michael the Archangel is sent to fight with the dude & get the message through, the account of which is written down. Sorry, I am partial to Shakespearean English, maybe I'm sorta Goth or something of a mediaeval. And there's another that comes to mind: For we wrestle not against flesh & blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this World, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Eph.6:12. So it's a continuing event even into the present. In a sense it does matter what they're called, since it's convenient to assign them names, but also knowledge of their positional strategies also gives you a sense of their authority & their sphere of operation like chess pieces on a chess board. They are not omnipotent, but have certain powers, as well as limitations.

 

I'm sure if there's money in 'branding' & it involves numbering & marking all the slaves, the government will get into it. Dudes like Kim Jong Un & his heritage are far more blatant about the honor/worship thing. The eventual One-World government would have to have a Beast that fits that profile, where they absolutely require worship & starving women sitting on the city lawns cutting N.Korea's grass with scissors!? —In honor of the Great Pump-Kim. But look at FarceBook. Chat about anything & an Ad pops up on the side bar. Western governments hide that side behind high-tech curtains. They are far more veiled & secretive in their approach. That's why they seethe about leaks. They want to try Assange as a traitor & he's not even a US citizen. WTF? That smacks of World-government right there. The Mark will mean your total compliance with the Big System. Or you can't buy or sell. I'm sure there'll be a hell of a black market then, trading, etc.; but to have a corporate job or benefits or whatever you'll have to be on their side. And it's a horrible government that's coming so why would anyone want to be on their side. They'll be worse than the Nazi's. :cuss:

 

Maybe it's just the end of your world...you're not going to live forever, are you?

 

—Only in another 600 years, Glen lol —Happy Birthday (I'm sure there is truth & substance to the warning, but numerology, very often goes too far...)

 

pi=666

 

The Number of the Beast
—from Mike Keith​

http://www.cadaeic.net/666.htm

The number 666 is cool. Made (in?)famous by the Book of Revelation (Chapter 13, verse 18, to be exact), it is also interesting because of its many numerical properties. Here is a compendium of mathematical facts about the number 666. Most of the well-known "chestnuts" are included, but many of these are relatively new and have not been published elsewhere.

The number 666 is a simple sum and difference of the first three 6th powers:

666 = 16 - 26 + 36.

It is also equal to the sum of its digits plus the cubes of its digits:

666 = 6 + 6 + 6 + 6³ + 6³ + 6³.

There are only five other positive integers with this property. Exercise: find them, and prove they are the only ones!

666 is related to (6² + n²) in the following interesting ways:

666 = (6 + 6 + 6) · (6² + 1²)
666 = 6! · (6² + 1²) / (6² + 2²)

The sum of the squares of the first 7 primes is 666:

666 = 2² + 3² + 5² + 7² + 11² + 13² + 17²

The sum of the first 144 (= (6+6)·(6+6)) digits of pi is 666.

16661 is the first beastly palindromic prime, of the form 1[0...0]666[0...0]1. The next one after 16661 is

1000000000000066600000000000001

which can be written concisely using the notation 1 013 666 013 1, where the subscript tells how many consecutive zeros there are. Harvey Dubner determined that the first 7 numbers of this type have subscripts 0, 13, 42, 506, 608, 2472, and 2623 [see J. Rec. Math, 26(4)].

A very special kind of prime number [first mentioned to me by G. L. Honaker, Jr.] is a prime, p (that is, let's say, the kth prime number) in which the sum of the decimal digits of p is equal to the sum of the digits of k. The beastly palindromic prime number 16661 is such a number, since it is the 1928'th prime, and

1 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 1 = 1 + 9 + 2 + 8.

The triplet (216, 630, 666) is a Pythagorean triplet, as pointed out to me by Monte Zerger. This fact can be rewritten in the following nice form:

(6·6·6)² + (666 - 6·6)² = 666²

There are only two known Pythagorean triangles whose area is a repdigit number:

(3, 4, 5) with area 6
(693, 1924, 2045) with area 666666

It is not known whether there are any others, though a computer search has verified that there are none with area less than 1040. [see J. Rec. Math, 26(4), Problem 2097 by Monte Zerger]

The sequence of palindromic primes begins 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 101, 131, 151, 181, 191, 313, 353, etc. Taking the last two of these, we discover that 666 is the sum of two consecutive palindromic primes:

666 = 313 + 353.

A well-known remarkably good approximation to pi is 355/113 = 3.1415929... If one part of this fraction is reversed and added to the other part, we get

553 + 113 = 666.

[from Martin Gardner's "Dr. Matrix" columns] The Dewey Decimal System classification number for "Numerology" is 133.335. If you reverse this and add, you get

133.335 + 533.331 = 666.666

[from G. L. Honaker, Jr.] There are exactly 6 6's in 6666. There are also exactly 6 6's in the previous sentence!

[by P. De Geest, slight refinement by M. Keith] The number 666 is equal to the sum of the digits of its 47th power, and is also equal to the sum of the digits of its 51st power. That is,

66647 = 5049969684420796753173148798405564772941516295265
4081881176326689365404466160330686530288898927188
59670297563286219594665904733945856
66651 = 9935407575913859403342635113412959807238586374694
3100899712069131346071328296758253023455821491848
0960748972838900637634215694097683599029436416
and the sum of the digits on the right hand side is, in both cases, 666. In fact, 666 is the only integer greater than one with this property. (Also, note that from the two powers, 47 and 51, we get (4+7)(5+1) = 66.)

The number 666 is one of only two positive integers equal to the sum of the cubes of the digits in its square, plus the digits in its cube. On the one hand, we have

6662 = 443556
6663 = 295408296

while at the same time,

(43 + 43 + 33 + 53 + 53 + 63) + (2+9+5+4+0+8+2+9+6) = 666.

The other number with this property is 2583.

We can state properties like this concisely be defining Sk(n) to be the sum of the kth powers of the digits of n. Then we can summarize items #13, #14, and #2 on this page by simply writing:

666 = S2(666) + S3(666)
= S1(66647)
= S1(66651)
= S3(6662) + S1(6663)
[P. De Geest and G. L. Honaker, Jr.] Now that we have the Sk(n) notation, define SP(n) as the sum of the first n palindromic primes. Then:

S3( SP(666) ) = 3 · 666

where the same digits (3, 666) appear on both sides of the equation!

[by Carlos Rivera] The number 20772199 is the smallest integer with the property that the sum of the prime factors of n and the sum of the prime factors of n+1 are both equal to 666:

20772199 = 7 x 41 x 157 x 461, and 7+41+157+461 = 666
20772200 = 2x2x2x5x5x283x367, and 2+2+2+5+5+283+367 = 666.

Of course, integers n and n+1 having the same sum of prime factors are the famous Ruth-Aaron pairs. So we can say that (20772199, 20772200) is the smallest beastly Ruth-Aaron pair.

[by G. L. Honaker, Jr.] The sum of the first 666 primes contains 666:

2 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 11 · · · + 4969 + 4973 = 1533157 = 23 · 66659

[Wang, J. Rec. Math, 26(3)] The number 666 is related to the golden ratio! (If a rectangle has the property that cutting off a square from it leaves a rectangle whose proportions are the same as the original, then that rectangle's proportions are in the golden ratio. Also, the golden ratio is the limit, as n becomes large, of the ratio between adjacent numbers in the Fibonacci sequence.) Denoting the Golden Ratio by t, we have the following identity, where the angles are in degrees:

sin(666) = cos(6·6·6) = -t/2

which can be combined into the lovely expression:

t = - (sin(666) + cos(6·6·6) )

There are exactly two ways to insert '+' signs into the sequence 123456789 to make the sum 666, and exactly one way for the sequence 987654321:

666 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 567 + 89 = 123 + 456 + 78 + 9
666 = 9 + 87 + 6 + 543 + 21

[from Patrick Capelle]

666 is a divisor of 123456789 + 987654321.

[from Patrick Capelle] 666 can be expressed just using the digit 3, as

666 = p(3·3·3) + p(p(3·3·3))

where p(i) means the ith prime number (that is, p(1) = 2, p(2) = 3, p(3) = 5, etc.)

A Smith number is an integer in which the sum of its digits is equal to the sum of the digits of its prime factors. 666 is a Smith number, since

666 = 2·3·3·37

while at the same time

6 + 6 + 6 = 2 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 7.

Consider integers n with the following special property: if n is written in binary, then the one's complement is taken (which changes all 1's to 0's and all 0's to 1's), then the result is written in reverse, the result is the starting integer n. The first few such numbers are

2 10 12 38 42 52 56 142 150 170 178 204 212 232 240 542 558 598 614...

For example, 38 is 100110, which complemented is 011001, which reversed is 100110. Now, you don't really need to be told what the next one after 614 is, do you?

The following fact is quite well known, but still interesting: If you write the first 6 Roman numerals, in order from largest to smallest, you get 666:

DCLXVI = 666.

The previous one suggests a form of word play that was popular several centuries ago: the chronogram. A chronogram attaches a numerical value to an English phrase or sentence by summing up the values of any Roman numerals it contains. (Back then, U,V and I,J were often considered the same letter for the purpose of the chronogram, however I prefer to distinguish them.) What's the best English chronogram for 666? Here's one that's pretty apt:

Expect The Devil.

Note that four of the six numerals are contained in the last word.

A standard function in number theory is phi(n), which is the number of integers smaller than n and relatively prime to n. Remarkably,

phi(666) = 6·6·6.

The nth triangular number is given by the formula T(n) = (n)(n+1)/2, and is equal to the sum of the numbers from 1 to n.

666 is the 36th triangular number - in other words,

T(6·6) = 666.

In 1975 Ballew and Weger proved (see J. Rec. Math, Vol. 8, No. 2):

666 is the largest triangular number that's also a repdigit

(A repdigit is a number consisting of a single repeated non-zero digit, like 11 or 22 or 555555.)

[From Patrick Capelle] 666 is the sum of the squares of two consecutive triangular numbers:

666 = 152 + 212

which can also be elegantly written as

T(6·6) = T(5)2 + T(6)2.

But also note that T(5) + T(6) = T(8). Indeed, 666 is the smallest triangular number of the form a2 + b2 with a+b also triangular.

The doubly-triangular numbers are those numbers of the form T(T(n)), where T(n) are the triangular numbers defined in the previous item. The sequence of doubly-triangular numbers begins

1, 6, 21, 55, 120, 321, 406, 666, 1035

so we see that 666 is the eighth doubly-triangular number (i.e., T(T(8)) = 666).

The nth doubly-triangular number is, among other things, the number of ways to paint the vertices of a square using a set of n colors, where the colors are distinct but rotations and reflections of a given colored square are considered the same. So there are 666 distinct ways of painting the vertices of a square with a set of eight colors.

[from Monte Zerger] 6 (= T(3)), 66 (= T(11)), and 666 (= T(36)) are all triangular numbers in base 10. These three numbers are also triangular in two other bases: 49 and 2040:

(6)49 = 6 = T(3)
(66)49 = 300 = T(24)
(666)49 = 14706 = T(171)

(6)2040 = 6 = T(3)
(66)2040 = 12246 = T(1564)
(666)2040 = 24981846 = T(7068)

[from Monte Zerger] 6666 = 87266061345623616, which contains 6 6's. In addition, the digits of 6666 can be split into two sets in two different ways, both of which sum up to the same value, 36 (= 6 x 6).

The first eight and last nine digits both sum to 36:

8 + 7 + 2 + 6 + 6 + 0 + 6 + 1 = 6 x 6 = 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 2 + 3 + 6 + 1 + 6

while the 6's and non-6's also add up to 36:

6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 6 x 6 = 8 + 7 + 2 + 0 + 1 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 2 + 3 + 1

Finally, note that 6666 is almost pandigital - the only digit it's missing is an upside-down 6 (i.e., 9).

A polygonal number is a positive integer of the form

P(k,n) = n((k - 2)n + 4 - k)/2

where k is the 'order' of the polygonal number (k=3 gives the triangular numbers, k=4 the squares, k=5 the pentagonal numbers, etc.), and n is its index. A repdigit polygonal number is a polygonal number that also happens to be a repdigit. Finally, define the wickedness of a polygonal number as n/k. Now, an amazing fact:

666 is conjectured to be the most wicked repdigit polygonal number.

Since 666 = P(3,36), its wickedness value is n/k = 12. I recently showed by computer calculation that there are no counterexamples to this conjecture less than 1050. See my paper here for more details. It seems quite certain that this is true but so far no one has proved it.

Whilst on the subject of polygonal numbers, we can find among them some rather beastly configurations. One of the more striking is the following:

If one arranges a group of people in a solid 3010529326318802-sided polygon with 666 people on each side, there will be a total of 666666666666666666666 persons in all.

Or, more simply, P(3010529326318802, 666) = 666666666666666666666. See the paper link in the previous item for more like this.

Define PI(n,d) as the d consecutive decimal digits of the number π (3.14159265358979...) starting at the nth digit after the decimal point. Then we can make the following pretty statement:

PI(666, 3) = 7·7·7 (since the digits at that position are "343", or 7 cubed)

as well as the following one, which contains nothing but 6's and 3's (and two 666's):

PI(666 · 3.663663663..., 3) = 666.

Inserting zeros between the sixes in 666 gives the number 60606, which has a few interesting properties of its own:

60606 = 7 x 13 x 666 = 91 x 666 = T(13) x T(36) - i.e., 60606 is the product of two triangular numbers.

60606 = 7 x 37 x (13 x 18), which is interesting in that Rev 13:18 is the place where 666 is mentioned.

60606 = P(7,156) - i.e., 60606 is a 7-gonal number. (Note that this can be written entirely using the evocative numbers 6, 7, and 13, by saying 60606 = P(7, (6+6)·13)). In addition we can make a statement using only 7's:

60606 is the 7th palindromic 7-gonal number.

60606 has exactly 6 prime factors.

60606+1 is a prime number. Not only that, but it's a prime (p) for which the period length of the decimal expansion of its reciprocal (1/p) attains the maximum possible value of p-1. In other words:

1/(60606 + 1) has period length 60606.

60606 is, just like 666, the sum of two consecutive palindromic primes (both of which contain the evil eyes!):

60606 = 30203 + 30403.

[found by Jud McCranie] It is a theorem that every positive integer occurs as the period length of the reciprocal of some prime. So, the obvious question arises: what's the smallest prime with period length 666? The answer was found in June 1998:

p = 902659997773 is the smallest prime whose reciprocal has period length 666.

The first 666 digits after the decimal point of 1/p (which then repeat) are:

Observe that if you turn the prime p upside down, there's a 666 inside, slightly to the left of the middle, and if you turn the single period of 1/p upside down, there's a 66666666666 inside, slightly to the left of the middle!

[from Simon Whitechapel] A mathematically important number sequence is:

7, 17, 19, 23, 29, 47, 59, 61, 97, 109, 113, 131, 149, ...

which is the sequence of primes p whose reciprocal in base 10 has maximum period p-1. The last one, 1/149 with period 148, has the following digits after the decimal point (which then repeat):

0067114093959731543624161073825503355
7046979865771812080536912751677852348

2953020134228187919463087248322147651

As luck would have it, the sum of these is 666. If these 148 numbers (the first 148 digits of 1/149) are written as the top row of a 148x148 square grid, and then the digits of 2/149 as the second row, then 3/149 and so on, the result is a 148x148 pseudo-magic square, in which every row and column sums to 666.

[sent in by P. De Geest] The smallest prime number with a gap of 666 (that is, such that the prime following it is larger than it by exactly 666) is

18691113008663

Note the three sixes! Also, Patrick Capelle points out that this prime (1869113008663) and the following one (1869113008663 + 666 = 18691113009329) both have the same digit sum, 53 (also a prime).

Define a dottable fraction as one in which dots (representing multiplication) can be interspersed in both the numerator and denominator to produce an expression that's equal to the original fraction. The noteworthy dottable fraction

666 = 6·6·6
64676 6·46·76
has a numerator of 666 and a denominator of the form 6x6y6.

Here's another one (actually, two) based on a fraction [by Manley Perkel and Mike Keith]. The fraction 1666/6664 (which has a 666 in both numerator and denominator) has two interesting properties:

(1) The numerical value of the fraction (0.25) is the same as the numerical value of the fraction you get by "canceling" (i.e., erasing or removing) the 666 from both the numerator and denominator.

(2) The value of the fraction is the same as the value you get by splitting the fraction in half and multiplying the two parts together; that is,

1666 = 16 . 66
6664 66 64
A fraction like this is known as a fractured fraction.
The alphametic below has a unique solution (i.e., there is only one way to replace letters with digits so that the addition sum is correct):

[by Monte Zerger] Note that 1998 (a recent year) = 666 + 666 + 666. Not only that, but if we set A=3, B=6, C=9, etc., we find, amazingly, that

NINETEEN NINETY EIGHT = 666

Frank Fiederer pointed out that the age of the United States in 1998 is also related to 666, since

1998 - 1776 = 666/3.

Finally, we close with an observation that makes a commentary on the folly of attaching a too-specific meaning to the number 666. If the letter A is defined to be equal to 36 (=6·6), B=37, C=38, and so on, then:

The sum of the letters in the word SUPERSTITIOUS is 666.

 

Some folk are very tetchy about their BS.

Anyway, here in the UK if you were using your phone upside down, you would have to dial 666 for fire, ambulance or police. Does that mean the Queen of England is actually the whore of babylon or something.....or would she have to be standing on her head....

 

It's 616.

 

What is 616?

 

2005



A newly discovered fragment of the oldest surviving copy of the New Testament indicates that, as far as the Antichrist goes, theologians, scholars, heavy metal groups, and television evangelists have got the wrong number. Instead of 666, it's actually the far less ominous 616.

The new fragment from the Book of Revelation, written in ancient Greek and dating from the late third century, is part of a hoard of previously unintelligible manuscripts discovered in historic dumps outside Oxyrhynchus in Egypt. Now a team of expert classicists, using new photographic techniques, are finally deciphering the original writing.

Professor David Parker, Professor of New Testament Textual Criticism and Paleography at the University of Birmingham, thinks that 616, although less memorable than 666, is the original. He said: "This is an example of gematria, where numbers are based on the numerical values of letters in people's names. Early Christians would use numbers to hide the identity of people who they were attacking: 616 refers to the Emperor Caligula."

The Book of Revelation is traditionally considered to be written by John, a disciple of Jesus; it identifies 666 as the mark of the Antichrist. In America, the fundamentalist Christian right often use the number in sermons about the coming Apocalypse.

They and satanists responded coolly to the new "Revelation". Peter Gilmore, High Priest of the Church of Satan, based in New York, said: "By using 666 we're using something that the Christians fear. Mind you, if they do switch to 616 being the number of the beast then we'll start using that." Indy...

Caligula. That would make sense.

 

It says it's the number of 'the beast' & also the number of 'a man'. I'm sure it has an endless wealth of related numerology seeing people have discovered so many parallels. But aside from all the related stuff, computers, math, et al, it's referring to the first & former two designations when mentioned in Book of the Apocalypse Chapter 13 & well worth a read.

Number of the Beast & number of a Man. So the Beast is a Man; and he demands everyone on Earth worship him by forcing them to take the mark (without it no one will be able to buy or sell anything).

But I really like the parallels, so keep them coming. I had no idea it could be related to so many other significant things. You can't just confine everything to Scripture which is sometimes brief at best. If it doesn't say it's not, then why can't it be? I think it's short & to the point so we'll be curious about it & do the research to learn & find out more. Also, every time people think prophecy is fulfilled, it turns out to usually only be a partial fulfillment & goes on to add more layers as the timeline proceeds.

It's kind of like how people are always predicting dates & the dates seldom come true. It's like an onion skin.
