Default The Name Jesus = 666?

Hey, did you know that The Name Jesus = 666? Sure it does. All you have to do is take the numerical value of the letters in His name and add them together (10 + 5 + 19 + 21 + 19), in which case you get 74 which, when multiplied by 9, you get 666!

Hmm, what could it possibly mean?

So what's the significance of the 9?

It's the last digit in the decimal system for one thing. Also, you get a very interesting pattern when adding in multiples of 9, suggesting a sort of symmetry of opposites ...

00 .. 09 .. 18 .. 27 .. 36 .. 45 .. 54 .. 63 .. 72 .. 81 .. 90 .. 99
99 .. 90 .. 81 .. 72 .. 63 .. 54 .. 45 .. 36 .. 27 .. 18 .. 09 .. 00

Plus, when adding them, they always add up to 99 ...

Or, how about the notion, "Many will come in my name (666) to lead many astray." ~ Matthew 24:1-5

I always thought that the #666's signifigance would only be made clear when the apocoypse comes? Or did I miss something?

Each name of Ronald Wilson Reagan has 6 letters in it making President Reagan 666. Glory be! President Reagan is Jesus and the beast of the apocalypse.

You whiney liberal atheist heathens are in for it now

Iacchus -
The quote from Mathew is fair enough, unless Mathew was one of the ones of whom he was warning us.

The trick with the nines is clever, but unconvincing as a means of identifying the beast.

Reagan has just been laid to rest. Does this mean we are finally rid of not only him but Jesus and Satan as well?
This has been a big week in the ethers hasn't it?

Actually it tends to confirm what I've already been told about The Reformation, that it's signified by the Great Red Dragon, the Beast out of the Sea and the False Prophet in Revelation 12-13. And, that in effect the Apocalypse had occurred almost 250 years ago. Also, since the number 666 is derived from the English spelling of Jesus (and most Western European languages I believe?), it seems fitting that The Reformation should take root and become established in Great Britain. In which case it would seem to be as you say.

While another juicy tidbit here, is why do we call them Wasps or, White-Anglo-Saxon-Protestants?


Quote:
1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.

2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.

3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.

5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.

6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.

7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.

8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.

9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.

10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.

11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon. ~ Revelation 9:1-11
So, if in fact these creatures were like locusts, what other creature would come even remotely close -- with stings in their tails and nasty bites -- than wasps? Ever see a yellow jackets nest come up out of the ground? In fact this is what happened when my roommate poured his ashes out from his woodstove in the backyard. Remind you of anything like a furnace?
