January 6, 200620 yr I apologize, I was inaccurately informed and haven't read Revalation in quite some time. :? No problem, we all make mistakes and revelation just happens to be my favorite book of the Bible. Ahhh! Mini-off-topic-story: When I was in fourth grade I was "taught" Revelation by a Sunday School teacher. "Teaching" included telling us all we were all most likely going to Hell...I cried for a long time and have only read Revalation twice since then. :?

Heh I couldn't help but laugh when I read that, as I have my own revelation gone wrong story. :lol: When I was in elementary school (it was either 5th or 6th grade) I was playing outside with my neighbor, a 1st grader at the time (my brother was in 1st grade too at the time so I guess I was really playing with him). Anyways, the previous sunday, I too was "taught" revelation. In a step of faith, I thought I would be a "good" Christian and convert my neighbor. So I talked with him, tried to explain the rapture, millinial reign, ect. even though I barely knew what they were. In the end he accepted Christ and we stopped playing. I go inside to do who knows what and about 15 minutes later the doorbell rings. I open it and find his mother yelling at me telling me to explain this "rapture" ect. as her son was now crying at home because his mother was "going to hell". Heh can you say *awkward*... :oops: :lol:

January 6, 200620 yr wait wait, you believe the "rapture" (as you catholics call it (i'm not catholic, christian)) will happen on june 6, 2006? NO if you do even believe in judgement day (as it is called in the bible), then you would also have to believe the fact that no one knows when it will happen, and also, that the number has almost jack squat to do with the coming of Christ. NO p.s. the popes old hat "vicarivs filii dei" something along those lines (i'm not sure about how accurate i am) take the roman numerals present in the words add them together also works with "cvte pvrple dinosavr" cute purple dinosaur (barney :P) the latter is just a joke though proud quest cape ownerhere's my first post on the TIF (scroll to the bottom)feel free to pm me, but do make sure that i know you're a Tip.It user (in other words, give me a HYT)
January 6, 200620 yr I think we should all just have a good read with the Left Behind series. Regardless of whether the stuff that happens in that book will be true or not, it's a really good read =) Gamertag: King Arizona

January 6, 200620 yr how does that work?you know v is 5 right?cvte pvtple dinosaur would be 100-5-t-e p-5-r-p-50-e d-1-n-o-s-a-5-r other would be 6-100-a-r-4-s-f-49-2-d-e-1 Given: BARNEY IS A CUTE PURPLE DINOSAUR Prove: BARNEY IS SATAN 1) The Romans had no letter "U" in their alphabet. 2) The Romans used the letter "V" for "U." 3) Using the Roman alphabet: CUTE PURPLE DINOSAUR becomes CVTE PVRPLE DINOSAVR. 4) Extracting the Roman numerals from CVTE PVRPLE DINOSAVR, we get C, V, V, L, D, I, V. 5) Substitute the decimal equivalents for the Roman numerals: C=100, V=5, L=50, D=500, I=1. 6) Add all decimal equivalents: C=100, V=5, V=5, L=50, D=500, I=1, V=5 7) The total of the above numbers is 666. That's the method that is used usually.
January 6, 200620 yr i forgot d is 500 lol and im sorry but how did the v to u thing happened, you cant just throw in another language into english... whoever came up with that is stupid... and their v's where w's.. oh no! "vicarivs filii dei" VI C IV I L II D I 6 100 4 1 50 2 500 1 500+100=600+50+6+4=660+2+1+1=664... thanks everyone for the sigs!

The reference I believe is justified* because the number 666 appears in the Bible during the Roman empire. *Justified does not mean its reasonable. People do a lot of unreasonable things to make their point.
January 6, 200620 yr One theory of how the number originated: The way it is thought to have first come about is by this train of though: Man was created on the sixth day - therefore his number is 6. Lucifer is referred to as the god of flesh aka the god of man and therefore his number is 6. Divinity is associated with a trinity because of Biblical texts so the god of flesh became associated with 666. The trinity? So shouldn't it technically be 663? Meh, I'm not worried ... I'd be far more concerned with December 21st, 2012.

January 6, 200620 yr i researched what he was talking about...more proof for all of you out there.. although the pope is the vicar of peter...not jesus, so none of it can be biblical but ok...here it is EDIT: what i mean is his title is vicar peter NOT vicar of the son of god that is on his hat http://www.aloha.net/~mikesch/666.htm thanks everyone for the sigs!
January 6, 200620 yr and the counter arguement http://www.biblelight.net/envoy.htm thanks everyone for the sigs!
January 6, 200620 yr Guys, I think we all know who the REAL anticrist is! Former U.S. president Ronald Wilson Reagan had six letters in his first, middle, and last name. He also lived in Bel-Air California, in house number 666 on his block, until wife Nancy Reagan had it changed to 668. Another interesting numerological oddity regarding Reagan, is that the sum of the enumerated phrase "Ronald Reagan President and Chief Executive of the United States of America" equals 666. If not, just blame the Japanese. In Japan, the yen comes in coins of 1, 5, 10, 50, 100 and 500. If you have one of each coin, you have 666 yen. Oh wait, I know! Bill Gates! Duh... This also leads to speculations that software manufacturer Microsoft, and its founder, Bill Gates, are evil [6], as Bill Gates, evaluated in ASCII, sums up to 663, which, when added with 3 (his complete name is William Henry Gates III,) becomes 666. Counting the space as one, Windows 95 also sums to 666. Gamertag: King Arizona
January 6, 200620 yr Aldeon: Great post, but I'd just like to remind you that not everyone agrees with Tim Lahaye's interpretation of Revelation. There's plently of Biblical scholars who argue about the interpretation of certain visions, when or if the Rapture takes place, and so on and so forth. (I do agree with Lahaye mostly, by the way.) :) "In so far as I am Man I am the chief of creatures. In so far as I am a man I am the chief of sinners." - G.K. Chesterton

January 7, 200620 yr I think everyone should just take a deep breath here and realize that nothing is going to happen on June 6th, 2006 other than a movie called The Omen: 666. The original starred Gregory Peck and it was sweet. Now, can we all pretend for a little while not to care about the "apocalypse" everyone is trying to predict on no basis whatsoever, like that Da Vinci Code book, but that's a different time.
January 7, 200620 yr I think we'll have apocalypse the 6th of june 2006. Nah a tsunami in Holland and a ice-age at hawai :lol: flush away the holland people! Belgium for lyphe. i dont care about dates :shock: well, 24 days after that school is out and summer vacation starts :lol: that's interesting!
January 7, 200620 yr i personally dont care if we all die... i'd atually wanna see that day come.. see all the mayhem and corruption, and the apocolyptic horseman.. i'd throw rocks at them with old cheese :) [garden tool] RAH!
January 8, 200620 yr Anyone who thinks that 666 is going to change anything is an idiot and probably needs help. this reminds me of the 9th of the 9th 99 rubbish were people thought our calanders would freeze because of a rumor that the numbers cant go above 9 despite seeing our calenders doit everyyear of our lives. And that there was the Y2K rubbish. How the human race manages to survive is beyond me. ~Dan64AuSince 27 Aug 2002
January 8, 200620 yr 666 is the number of the devil, it is not the symbol of christ and the coming armeggedon he will bring on the unbelievers. No need to get workd up about it :P.
January 8, 200620 yr And that there was the Y2K rubbish. How the human race manages to survive is beyond me. are you an idiot, lots of computers did crash, other just reset to the lates restore point.. because they WEREnt develped to go to 200 thanks everyone for the sigs!
