1 | Can XES mean self interest? | Revelation | Joh Stefanyszyn | 216356 | ||
Tim, one of the reasons that the numerical interpretation does not make sense is that Rev 13:11-18 stresses that this image, mark, name, and number of the beast will be worshipped by all nations. A numeral, physical name, an individual, church, or day cannot be worshipped by all nations and religions in today's world, especially in view that that the most worshipped belief is freedom of rights and religion. This belief is worshipped by more that 75 per cent of all nations and is embraced by all religions. This belief is regarded as the foundation for universal values which can unite all beliefs under the umbrella of freedom of human rights. The deception of embracing this primary belief is that man places the True God and Father of Jesus Christ in second place and on an equal footing as all other religions. As you know, as per the first commandment, there is none above the Creator. Jesus Christ and the apostles never compromised on this. In fact, they died for it. Glory to God for Jesus's ressurection. I have written a more thorough understanding in my personal website which I invite you to review. http://one-truth-one-god.info/one-truth-one-god.info.mht I look forward to your comments.

Hello Doc, Yes it fits in with lawlessness and it fits in with the statement by Christ that all nations will worship it. This is also suppoted by the prophet Daniel in Daniel 11:36-39. I have done a complete research on the verses of Rev 13:16-18, which I have placed on a personal website for easy access. If you are interested to review the study... http://one-truth-one-god.info/one-truth-one-god.info.mht You will see that it applies to what is presently happening in the world. I welcome your comments. John |

3 | Can XES mean self interest? | Revelation | Joh Stefanyszyn | 216350 | ||
This has been the traditional interpretation over the years by the translators. However, the Greek word arithmos can also mean mark of a station, worth, or value. You can see this in a the Greek English lexicon, Liddell and Scott, 9th edititon. The interpretation of Greek words greatly depends on the context of the message. We also see this in the English language, ex "you are number 1" which means you are the best and not the physical number 1. I have done a complete research on the verses of Rev 13:16-18, which I have placed on a personal website for easy access. If you are interested to review the study... http://one-truth-one-god.info/one-truth-one-god.info.mht You will see that it applies to what is presently happening in the world. This understanding is also supported by Daniel 11:36-39. I welcome your comments. |

4 | Can XES mean self interest? | Not Specified | Joh Stefanyszyn | 216324 | ||
All bibles have interpreted the X E S found in Rev13.16 to 18 to mean 666. I have found, instead, that the letters X E S describe a characteristic when the number is interpreted to be a VALUE instead of a literal numeral. Basically, the interpretation of the ancient Semitic letters translate into...In servitude to support oneself or... The desire to serve ones own interests. Is this understanding plausible? Respectfully John |
