Greetings Casiv! Why are numbers in the Bible? Simple, they are there to describe how many of something there were! How many pieces of silver did Judas betray Christ for? 30! Is there any special significance to the number 30 (other than the prophecy in Zech.)? Not really! Numbers in the text are important, but they are important for what they describe, not for fantastic interpretations that we try to put on them. You mentioned Noah's ark. I've heard people who believe in numerics say things like: 30 divided by 10 is 3. 3 times 50 is 150. 150 is half of 300, so God only saved half of the number that could have been saved. This is the kind of nonsense I am refering to when I talk about numerics. Concerning the 666, could you please explain what you mean about "the last 6". I don't have a clue what you are refering to! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Tim, you expect to understand without working for it? Have you looked in the strongs? If yes, what did you find? Then perhaps I will admonish you as it is written. Regarding the numbers I'll refer to Paul because he is a good teacher and revealed alot of mysteries as follows: 2 Cor 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtility, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 2 Cor 10:7 Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trust to himself that he is Christ's, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ's, even so are we Christ's. And Timothy says: 1 Tim 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and the doctrines of devils; |

Greetings Casiv! Okay, I checked the last 6 in Strong's concordance. The last 6 is the Greek w'hex'. Don't tell me you think there is a connection between the Greek word 'hex' and the English word 'hex'. If I am off base here let me know, but there is no connection between the two words. The English word 'hex' comes from the German word 'hexe', which means witch. So, what does the last 6 mean? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Alright! Glad you looked! Now look in the strongs in the greek number 5516 and see where men have hidden it from us. It is "chi xi stigma" in the greek which is 666. Then follow the number listed to understand further. Happy searching! |

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. | ||||||
