I know it's been hyped up more than anything else, but I have a bad feeling about today, 06-06-06. I'm a deeply religious and superstious man, and all I want to do is stay home in bed but I have to go to work cutting up meat. Evil day, sharp blades what a fun combonation.

When the Jews return to Zion / And a comet rips the sky / And the Holy Roman Empire rises, / Then You and I must die. / From the eternal sea he rises, / Creating armies on either shore, / Turning man against his brother / 'Til man exists no more.

666 the number of the beast?

Pfui...

I Report here for semplicity the 13 chaper of Revelation where S.John talks about the sea best(The antichrist) and the number of the beast

REVELATION CHAPTER 13:

Then I saw a beast come out of the sea with ten horns and seven heads; on its horns were ten diadems, and on its heads blasphemous name (s).

2

The beast I saw was like a leopard, but it had feet like a bear's, and its mouth was like the mouth of a lion. To it the dragon gave its own power and throne, along with great authority.

3

I saw that one of its heads seemed to have been mortally wounded, but this mortal wound was healed. 3 Fascinated, the whole world followed after the beast.

4

They worshiped the dragon because it gave its authority to the beast; they also worshiped the beast 4 and said, "Who can compare with the beast or who can fight against it?"

5

5 6 The beast was given a mouth uttering proud boasts and blasphemies, and it was given authority to act for forty-two months.

6

It opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling and those who dwell in heaven.

7

It was also allowed to wage war against the holy ones and conquer them, and it was granted authority over every tribe, people, tongue, and nation.

8

All the inhabitants of the earth will worship it, all whose names were not written from the foundation of the world in the book of life, which belongs to the Lamb who was slain.

9

Whoever has ears ought to hear these words.

10

Anyone destined for captivity goes into captivity. Anyone destined to be slain by the sword shall be slain by the sword. Such is the faithful endurance of the holy ones.

11

7 Then I saw another beast come up out of the earth; it had two horns like a lamb's but spoke like a dragon.

12

It wielded all the authority of the first beast in its sight and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound had been healed.

13

It performed great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in the sight of everyone.

14

It deceived the inhabitants of the earth with the signs it was allowed to perform in the sight of the first beast, telling them to make an image for the beast who had been wounded by the sword and revived.

15

It was then permitted to breathe life into the beast's image, so that the beast's image could speak and (could) have anyone who did not worship it put to death.

16

It forced all the people, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to be given a stamped image on their right hands or their foreheads,

17

so that no one could buy or sell except one who had the stamped image of the beast's name or the number that stood for its name.

18

Wisdom is needed here; one who understands can calculate the number of the beast, for it is a number that stands for a person. His number is six hundred and sixty-six.

Reading this text we know three things

1) The beast recive its power from the Dragon(satan)
2) Will rule over the hearth for a short time (One time, two times and half time)
3) Will impose on people its symbol here designed as a number.

What we know about number?

1) The number is dreclared and is 666
2) Its the number of the beast...meaning that number and beast are linked in some way
3) It is a number that stand for a person(in Italian is much better)...
4) The number may be calculate

What we can learn fro this?

1) The number is not a nu,mber but is...probabily a name...
2) That 666 is whortless, it is a shel because the true meaning is deep inside("Wisdom is needed here" said the apostle)

But why 666?
Well in numerogy and cabalistic wiews 3 is the number of perfect humanity.
8 is the number of god.
9 is 3X3 and is the Human absolute perfection so 999 is the perfectio of Human perfection.
6 is 3X2 and is less perfect number and mean instead imperfection and evilness.
So 666 is the "Perfect" imperfection or the Number of the beast.

Ciao

Don't believe the hype. 666 was really Roman Emperor Nero's birthday. Christians just adapted it to be the number of the Beast because of how evil Nero was.

Hebrew numerology. All letters in Hebrew are related to numbers. 666, to those that have knowledge of hebrew numerology (there's a better name for that) works out to represent the hebraic name for Nero. Or maybe not.

I just know it is the aniversary of D-Day, and I'm going to visit some veterans, and say some prayers, as should all you buggers in Europe who didn't complain about the American military when we were working to save your asses!!

I'm personally facinated by the hype and mythology behind such things as the number 666. But if we're going to get technically, my brother's full name (letter wise) equals 666 :lol: of course he's a junior so that's all that saved him B)

No, just the Mayan, actually. I believe it's December 20 or 25th, 2012, or 2011. Seriously, don't believe that crap. And, that's what I meant with the Nero stuff, just got it confused.

Didn't you know that Bush was the beast?

The Pengine Mafia have been back since the Rift!

What we must worry about is what power they might gain from this extra terristial crash site!

And while I've been saying nothing bad will happen today, I just wanted to throw this out to all the nay sayers:

1666. Nothing bad happened then. Nothing at all.

I dunno. I had to go to school today just to take a crappy gym final. A gym final. I had to actually get up, get out of bed, get into my car, turn it on, and drive to school... to take a final for physical education. And it was my only final of the day. An hour and a half wasted while first answering multiple choice questions about gym shoes and anorexia, and second sitting on a stationary bike.

Now, I wouldn't call it the apocalypse, but it was kind of crappy.

Personally, I blame the devil.

I had a splendid day, did nothing productive. The food was even good. 666 is one of the luckiest numbers in China because in Chinese numerology this number corresponds with the phrase "Everything goes smoothly."

666 AD in China: 16th Year of Gaozong Era on the Chinese calender. A good emperor was on the throne. Overall, a good year for the country.
1666 AD: 4th year of the Kangxi Era, another good year, perhaps even better than year 666.
