I would be curious to know if Rome had any type of plan for tattooing the masses back in those days... it is not that far fetched. branding the common folk to better control them. We still use the terms membership, citizenship, ownership, 'ship' is from legal agreements back in the Roman Navy days denoting submission to the authority of the ship's captain. It is the birth of the control of the people. Our legal system is very Roman, and the corporate laws are from marine laws. Luckily for us, in 1215 the Magna Carta gave the commoner the right to not be owned by the state.
32KV2 if you translate the letters in their place in the alphabet this would be 3211232 then add in groups of three it's 662, whew! That was close, the mark is supposed to be three sixes, right? How come nobody's worried about a package of stamps being $6.66 now for 20 37cent stamps? I'm a little And what about cell phones? They're supposed to get the chip implant technology too so you can just scan your phone to deduct funds for a purchase. The cell phone, where do you salways see it? In somebody's hand or plastered on their head. And it may cause cancer like the radar cop who left his gun on and pointed toward his thigh. Anyway, had to reply halfway through this thread an d n ow have to read to see if someon'es already brought this up. I'm not trying to cry End of the World but looking for a reasonable discussion of these candidates for mark of the beast.
They (archeologists) found old manuscripts of Revelataions, and the number for the Beast is acctually 661 on these (or somehitng like it).... I was also watching somehing where they related all the symbols and places from Revelations to pertain to 1st century Christians who were still worshiping emporers and sacrificing lambs... ie 7 headed beast = 7 emporers...666 or 661 is acctually a word game where you add the numbers up to get a total and you can get the emperor at the time of the writing...stuff like that...and the colours of the horses had symbolic meaning, but i cant recollect what not to make you guys question your faith or whatever, but just thought id add that...
Michael, I also see the "ribbons of shade" that run through dark souls. They also look like they have mascara, and faint black eyeshadow arond their eyes.
What I love is how people think the mark of the beast will actually be three '6'es in english, not the language which the entire theory was written, not japanese, or spanish, or anything like that. It will, of course, be in english. intense self centeredness.
ok, so accoding to what is written it will be the crazy romon numeral.... About what i posted earlier, i was skimming through revelations and i found the beast from the sea part....It says the number is the number of a man (old word/name game)? you decide...
Yeah. I dunno. Is the beast only discussed in the new testament? That was initially in latin. The old testament...who knows..possibly hebrew, possibly something else. Who knows. It woulda been easier if they said "star shape" or something like that, damn them
Yes what you are saying is true, but those that don't know Jesus on this post need to understand. When we are gone maybe they will remember this post and understand then what is happening. I feel sorry for these poor people, I just hope they turn to Christ before this happens. I know many of them simply do not have a clue what we are talking about.
That's kind of like saying; Astroid's are only here today, because John talked about one in the Book of Revelation. If John had only kept quiet, we would not have to worry about an Astroid striking the earth.
Well I have heard all of this before, the only problem with that is they have to ignore most of the other prophecies.
What is going to take place here on earth will require many of the laws to be changed. America and all her cities will burn and America's end will come in one hours time according to the scriptures. It will be after this event that things will go down hill very quickly. A very evil man will rise up in europe who will be under Satans control. Earth will be like hell.
Sadly enough, my own parents (Catholic), think that the mark is a good idea. People say that it will not happen, yet I have shown many articles in the news where it is happening around the world.
my personal thought is taht bush is the anti christ. if i could pick anyway to die, i think it would be taken up before armagedon, who knows in 7 yeras time i could get my wish.....
Bush does suck goatse ass but what the hell, the world is going down the tubes anyway. Our generations lack of conviction is the religion of our times, live without control, never change your ideals and spread your mental illness to others. Be what mothers warn their kids about and smile when you are part of a trend they write statistics about.
I have always been told that the devil is six because God is 7. It has to do with kaballah, all the letters in a Jewish world also are numbers. I you add the numbers in JHWH to eachother, and you do this untill you have only one number left, you end up with 7. Because the devil is never as powerful as God, the devil is 6. It would be more logical to me if man is 5, because the devil is far more powerful than man. Reminds of me of a Pixies song...: (...) if man is 5 [3x] then the devil is 6 [5x] then God is 7 [3x] this monkey's gone to heaven
http://hipforums.com/forums/showpost.php?p=936219&postcount=1 Like I said a few months ago in this thread, the mark was going to be directed towards children. It is now taking place.
You are aware that these are badges they have to carry, and not something that is being insertred into their bodies, right? It sucks for all the kids skipping school and all, but is nothing like the endtime prophecy. It doesn't seem all that bad, it takes care of attendance, school lunches, library books, etc... Our credit card companies have more more of the low-down on us than this badge would have. Once they start forcing people to stick these things in their hands or something like that, then we can all worry. Edit to add: Although with all the advancements and adoptions of RFID chips civil liberties groups ought to soon be getting a lot more support from the religious community.
