1 | Can anyone explain this to me | Revelation | method777 | 45008 | ||
So can you find a way to make Jesus Christ add up to 666. This was just an example... So what is the beast can YOU explain to me. I am confused cause this is what I have been taught. I was taught that the beast is the mainframe computer of the world and the mark of the beast is the barcode that the Gov. is making to be put on peoples hands and foreheads so they can scan it and it will have all your information. This is supposed to make things much easier so if you forget your wallet you'll have creditcard # , drivers licence and everything else on the barchode. Has anyone ever watched the movie "Image of the Beast" well it is a christian movie and its about the Bible and the computer it was made I think in the 70's but if you can get your hands on it please watch it. If I am wrong with this information Please explain to me what the Beast is and what the mark of the beast is. And to the person who responded to my note I dont know where you came up with sorcery, witchcraft,voodoo etc. I'm not talking about witchcraft and all that nonsense. |

Method777, You ask good questions. I'll try to respond with my best effort. My response follows your comment. You said: "So can you find a way to make Jesus Christ add up to 666?" Sure! There are many ways to do this and none of them mean anything. For example, assign each vowel a value of 6 and each consonant a value of 81. So, "JESUS" is "81,6,81,6,81" and "CHRIST" is "81,81,81,6,81,81" These add up to 666. I note that in this scheme, there are three 6's, which make 666 when placed next to each other. Also, there are eight 81's. If you add 8 and 1, you get 9, which is an upsidedown 6. Since there are 8 of these, we have 666 666 and 66. The last 666 is missing a 6; this will be completed when Jesus returns. So, in the name "Jesus Christ", according to my code, the letters add up to 666 and there are an additional three sets of hidden 666's, one for each member of the Trinity, the last of which will be completed when Jesus returns! Is there any biblical support for my method? No. Likewise, there is no biblical support for using consecutive multiples of 6 with our alphabet with the English word "computer". Any conclusions we draw are therefore our own and not biblical. You said: "I am confused cause this is what I have been taught." The Bible teaches Truth. It doesn't say anyting about mainframe computers or barcodes. Any interpretations of Revelation that people make are subject to human error. The message of Revelation is that God is totally in charge and as believers we don't need to worry about our fate, no matter how bad things may become as we approach the end of this world. You said: "...I dont know where you came up with sorcery, witchcraft,voodoo etc. I'm not talking about witchcraft and all that nonsense." Yes, they are nonsense. I mentioned them because they are dangerous in that they distract people from God and have about as much meaning as assigning numbers to letters and calculating the numerical values of words. You said: "Please explain to me what the Beast is and what the mark of the beast is." I'll try, but not now. I'd like to research the question before I attempt an answer. In closing, I have a question for you: Does your user name "method777" have any meaning for you? Why "method" and why "777"? Grace and Peace to You! |

First does the word method mean anything in biblical language? I just chose that because that was my email address and there is a rapper named methodman and i just took the method. 777 I used because this place said there was no room for 703 which is my DOB so I just put something simple to remember and also good luck. So you do not know what the beast is in the bible? And are you saying that what I have been taught was all false prophisies? Because what they told me in the church made so much sense to their theory in why the beast is the compter. I can't quote this but a friend of mine who I do not talk to now who goes to a different church told me he read in the bible that sometime in the future everyone will be able to see each other all around the world. And he told me that it made sense that it would be the internet. And when the chip with the barcode is to be put on everyones hands or foreheads does start to be in use, doesn't it make sense that that would be the mark of the beast. We shouldn;t be putting chips in our bodies just for convinience. Its like we are robots. And people are basically using the computer for everything and when everything starts to be revolved around the computer which will be soon we will be dependant on the computer. In the bible it says not to worship anything or one other than God but once the technology is in that is what everyone is going to worship. Maybe not now but in the future. Can I ask you a question what do you do for a living? Do you work at a church are you a pastor? Or are you just an ordinary person who believs in God? Please try to find the video Image of the Beast and watch it. That will explain to you more about what I am talking about because I am not an expert. I'm not trying to fight with you just giving you my knowledge. You responded to one of my questions that the bible says nothing about mainframe computers and barcodes. Obviously, the bible was written a long long time ago and there was no such thing as computers. But those are all of Gods words and he knows the future. I understand that there is a lot of misinterpretation of the bible but I believe that that is what it means. Do you believe that we are in the last 10 pages maybe not even of the bible. The last 10 maybe more or less pages of the bible is what we are revolved around now. I woiuld also like to know what area of the US you are in. I am from the northeast. again i am not tring to fight with you and my theory is not based on the numerology thing it was just a complement to what I have been saying. Peace to you too. |

I'd just like to review the scriptures and scholarhip on the beast before attempting an answer; based on what I have studied in the past, I do have an opinion, but before I give it, I want to be careful to support my view with credible sources. Your concerns about technology taking the place of God in our lives is valid; science and technology can be just like numerology, witchcraft, sorcery and voodoo in that they can become religion. On the other hand, I note that we are using computers and the internet for Christian fellowship and teaching, so perhaps its more important for us to consider how we use these tools rather than simply reacting to their existence. To learn more about me, just click on my user name "parable", next to any of my messages. If a user has completed a bio sketch, anyone can read it by clicking on their user name. According to scripture, no one can know the timje of Jesus return, so I can't say if we are in the end times or not. Matthew 24:36 "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." We should not waste our time trying to predict what only the Father knows. I accept that you are sharing in good faith, so don't worry about offending me. You said your point about computers/internet was not based on numerology. So what was it based on? If scripture, please list verses. Praise God! |
