Subject: Can XES mean self interest? |
Bible Note: 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. |
