"Is the Internet a technological and economical monstrosity inaugurating a new era of Babylonian idolatrous profaneness? The Book of Revelation speaks about the beast who will appear at the end of time and whose number is 666. It so happens that the sixth letter of the Hebrew alphabet is "wav", equivalent to the English w. A fact is too, that the ancient Hebrews, lacking digit signs, used the letters as digits where the value of the digit corresponds to the letter's place in the alphabet. Consequently, when John speaks of the beast named 666 he speaks of the beast named www dot. John explains 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". People shall be forced to worship this beast, says John. To me, it seems like John hits the head of the nail. Today, most companies are forced to accept the obligatory "www" before their names on façades and signboards. The World Wide Web is becoming an idolatrous mantra, a slippery octopus who stretches its tentacles into every corner of modern life.[/B] The global Internet economy together with information technology expands according to "new economical laws" - in other words, they are wreaking havoc. The native country of the undersigned, as the most computerized land in the world, is today replacing teachers for computers and automatized learning. Within a few years every citizen will have access to broadband, as the result of a governmental venture, because, as they say, the future lies in the Internet.
We are being pressured to worship the beast."
Now I'm not saying that the www dot internet is the 666 beast mentioned in the bible, but there is a close similarity and with "www" being "666" in Hebrew, that makes it even more suspicious looking.
The internet may not yet be the 666 but it could be in the future, and that's my whole point.

"Obamas Internet ID Program & a Future Beast System?
It has just been revealed that President Obama is trying to give the Commerce Department the authority to give you, me and all Americans using the internet a unique internet ID. Obama wants to move swiftly on this and plans to have his program ready in a few months. It is ostensibly being proposed in the interest of cybersecurity, but this sounds like an Orwellian electronic monitoring system to me. Im not the only one with such concerns. The link states that The move has raised eyebrows about privacy issues.
The Obama administrations purported claim that this is intended for cybersecurity reasons makes little sense to me. The government already has the authority to get a warrant and monitor anyones personal communications if there is reasonable evidence to support such a warrant. This seems to be the beginning of another technology that will eventually be used by a future beast system to monitor and control their access to the internet. Ominously, the Obama administration spokesman stated that under its new internet ID system designed to be imposed upon you that you will not need to memorize a dozen passwords in your internet activities. Really? That can only mean that the government intends to end all your password-protected activities and assign you an internet ID number via which it can monitor you at will. Internet privacy would end, in my evaluation of this proposal.
Upon reading the link below, a thought occurred to me. A Hebrew-speaking reader pointed out to me recently that there is no w in the Hebrew alphabet. Therefore, while we Americans see www at the beginning of all internet website addresses, Hebrew-language websites have to begin with something else. I was told that Hebrew websites begin with three consecutive letters of the Hebrew letter vav, so Hebrew-language website addresses begin with vvv instead of
www. The numeric equivalent of the letter vav in the Hebrew alphabet is 6. Therefore, three consecutive vav letters at the beginning of website addresses results in a numeric sequence of

666.
