Re: 666

666 is the number of jw's that will be brainwashed in the year 2666 into thinking that God is speaking to them thru fortune cookies from a chinese restaurant whose address is 666. It's all happening in these last days, do you recognize it? if you don't its because many have been misled and if you say i am wrong, well that was foretold to. it all about what channel you are listening to, you're obviously on network tv and im on PPV.

Re: 666

And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Re: 666

Understanding the meaning of 666, is much more than just solving an intriguing puzzle.

Happily, Jehovah God, the very personification of love and the Source of spiritual light, has not kept his servants in the dark on this important matter.—2 Timothy 3:16; 1 John 1:5; 4:8. matthew 24;45-47



Daniel 12;4 true knowledge will become abundant go to the right channel and be fed .

the Bible urges us: "Do not put your trust in nobles, nor in the son of earthling man, to whom no salvation belongs. His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground; in that day his thoughts do perish." (Psalm 146:3, 4)


Those who heed that wise counsel are not disillusioned when governments fail to deliver on their promises or when charismatic leaders fall from grace.—Proverbs 1:33.

This does not mean that true Christians sit back and do nothing about mankind’s plight. On the contrary, they actively proclaim the one government that will solve mankind’s problems—God’s Kingdom, which they represent.—Matthew 24:14.

It's not the number of mankind, but rather the number of a single person, affiliated in some way with the angelic creation of God's hosts. Mankind does not have a number.

Yeah, I agree, Q (it was bound to happen sometime). I also think that the word "count" is really significant; it often gets rendered as calculate, which leads to lots of really cool yet strange mathematical equations. I tried counting through the names listed in the Bible once, beginning in Genesis and working my way through. As I recall, the six hundred and sixty sixth name I came to was Edom. That got me thinking, though: should I be counting all names, or just everyone's name once as it comes up? What about place names? What about two people who have the same name? What about the names of women as opposed to men, assuming that 666 is the name of a man rather than a woman? And should I start in Genesis, or work my way back from Revelation, or perhaps begin with the Chronicles which to me serve little other purpose...

That's pretty much when I gave up on this project.

Daniel 12;4 if you go to the channel that Jesus is feeding you will have abundant true knowledge about the bible

matthew 24;45-47


and rather than giving up you will have enlightenment indeed, and it is all good bible based accurate knowledge .


and then you will not be able to keep it all to yourself , it will be GOODNEWS that is bursting to come out matthew 24; 14

seek ,seek, and seek.
seek Jehovah, all YOU meek ones of the earth, who have practiced His own judicial decision. Seek righteousness, seek meekness. Probably YOU may be concealed in the day of Jehovah’s anger.

zepheniah 2;3
its up to us if we want to be concealed , that probably lies with us.

seek JEHOVAH

Good ideas, but for one small problem...there was no Bible (as we know it today), in Jesus' time. There was only the Pentatuch. Which means the name might or might not be in the old testament. Since Revelation was written after Jesus' time, but before there was a Bible, the reference again leaves us scratching our heads. There were dozens of "scriptural writs" that were never included in the bible proper.

Indeed, including Revelation in the bible almost did not come to pass...

Had that happened, we wouldn't even be asking this question.

Re: 666

The beast’s having "a human number," therefore, indicates that governments reflect the fallen human condition, the mark of sin and imperfection.
