The number 666 derives from the Hebrews use of letters for numbers and
applies in this case to the ranking within the political and regious
movements of the time of Jesus. The basis of 666 is complex but anyone
who wants to know more should read the relevant parts of Barbara
Thiering's "Jesus of the Apocalypse". You will find 666 spelled out in
words in the index.

two classes, and those who don't. I belong to the second class.

On Sat, 26 Feb 2000 21:23:35 +0100, some virtual stranger calling themself
"Alex"  decided to voice their opinion, of which I had
this to say:

When St. John was writing his book, he couldn't mention Nero by his name or
else it would get him killed, so he referred to him as 666, for reasons I
don't clearly remember so I won't get into. Look it up.

Hi Alex,

there are two serious readings i know:

First read the Revelation in The Holy Bible;

Rev 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free =
and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

Rev 13:17 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.

Rev 13:18 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 (666).

Than you have to know about the numeric values of latin letters:
I=3D1, V=3D5, X=3D10, L=3D50, C=3D100, D=3D500, M=3D1000

now look at the Titles of the Pope :
VICARIVS FILII DEI=20
LATINVS REX SACERDOS
and calculate... each time 666.

Goto:
http://www.aloha.net/~mikesch/index2.htm
particular:
http://www.aloha.net/~mikesch/666.htm
http://www.aloha.net/~mikesch/vatican.htm
http://www.aloha.net/~mikesch/dragon.htm

2nd - The System of Barcode (marking all products "that no man might buy =
or sell, save he that had the mark...")

Rev 13:17 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.

unfortunately I only have a german link:
http://www.elib.com/Steiner/RelArtic/EAN_UPC/Sorath.html=20
(The hidden in UPC and EAN productcodes)

please search the *Net* (WWW means 666 in occult readings; Hebrew Values =
6 6 6 ;-), and WEB means an evil surround (by a spider - beast). NET =
means cooperation by helpers) for keywords "barcode" or "productcode" at =
yourself for english pages.
    =20
ciao, Matt
