Bible Note: Hello Tim: You wrote: 1) The verse does not explain how this number is obtained or even what it means. Therefore, one must assume that the writer intended his readers to assign numerical values to the letters and add them up. This is a major assumption My reply: Gotta blame those "paraphasing" Bibles. The Living Bible and the book say: "...the numerical values of the letters in his name add to 666..." I'll note the sources. Howver, even in the KJV it says: "...let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast..." I assume these alternate Bibles took that to mean, "...those who are able..." Is it true? I don't know. Does it make sense? Does to me....Treadway :) |
