Greetings Casiv! # 5516 is the TR's abreviated form of 'hexakosioi hexekonta hex' which is found in the Greek manuscripts. Both mean 666, so I still don't see what special significance you are attaching to this. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Which Strongs Concordance do you have? Is it by James Strong? I have the old one" the one that doesn't say new". What is TR's? 5516 chi xi stigma, the 22nd, 14th,and an obsolete letter(4742 as a cross) of the Greek alphabet(intermediate between the 5th and 6th) used as numbers; denoting respectively 600, 60, and 6; 666 as a numeral: six hundred threescore and six That is what my strongs says. It means in the days of the crucifixion the symbol of the number 6 was the cross and hence the symbol representing the number 6 in greek has been changed. Now you know what the last 6 is. Greek 4742 stigma, to stick, i.e. prick); a mark incised or punched(for recognition of ownership) i.e.(fig.) scar of service: mark. Now you have the mark of the beast. |

Greetings Casiv! The TR is the Textus Receptus, one of the first attempts at putting together a critical Greek text. The actual Greek texts all spell out the full words for '600 60 6', though some texts have '600 10 6' instead. The TR simply shortened it to the letters instead of the full words. The only problem with your theory is that the stigma looked like an upside down 5, not a cross. If you would like to see it, go to http://www.parthia.com/font_stigma.htm.

Tim, That is what it was changed to. That is what it shows in my strongs. It has been made to be obsolete. What denomination are you? I'm curious. |

Greetings Casiv! Which was changed? The TR changed the full words to the letters only. The shape of stigma was not changed. I belong to the United Brethren in Christ. It is a small denomination. It is close in theology (though more conservative) to the United Methodist. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

The Greek symbol for the number 6 changed from a cross like symbol to the upside down looking 5 after Jesus was put to the cross. The symbol became obsolete as it states in the Strongs Concordance. | ||||||
