Subject: Only seal and horse in same verse Rev6:5 |
Bible Note: I know of the Companion Bible but have never seen one. Does Bullinger's notes and appendices reflect some of the same material you have shared here? Now that I better understand what you are saying, we have agreement on several things. I still cannot agree with your contention that the stigma in 666 is the cross. In both my Newberry reference Bible and my copy of the Textus Receptus, the final character is shaped like a final sigma (upside-down 5 or "s" with a large head). I think Strong's intent of referencing 4742 was to demontrate the that there were different "stigmas" or marks--the cross being an example of one. It's not the only example. In the English language we have had the same type of thing. We "make a mark" as a signature if we don't know how to write. We "make a mark" to cut a straight line in a piece of timber. We "make a mark" to identify something as our own. Steve |
