Subject: What Does 666 Mean? |
Bible Note: Hi patawa, I think Mark is on track here. I don't know what "gemotria" is, never heard of it. Why can't we just take the literal meaning of the text? That seems much simpler and is probably more in-line with Biblical interpretation principles. Would the writer (John) have had this in mind? Trying to "guess" what 666 (or any verse) says by using some sort of mathematical analysis seems a bit of a stretch. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
