the Mark

[sparow]

The mark of the Beast is 666; or the wise can determine the mark from the number. I have examined a number of guesses but they do not work for me.

What I have come up with is 666 represents an equilateral triangle; a symbol shared with free masons; presumably innocently.

It actually adds up to the "number of a man". That man's name was Nero Caesar. And according to the bible, one need not have the number, but either the number or the name of the man. It was in fact the position of the Emperor of the Roman Empire. If you do the math on the "seven kings" of Rev 17 it will lead you to the timeframe of the events the writer described. The dragon, the beast, the false prophet, fire raining down from heaven in the sight of men, the sea turning to blood, and on and on.

This will give you an idea of what "the mark of the beast" was:

It's something that continued on through the first three hundred years of Christianity.

Rev 13: 18 This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666.
The alternative reading for the number is a man is ' humanities number.'

May I point out something Jesus said. in John 6: 37 All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. 38 For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. 39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. 40 For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”

It is Jesus who keeps us Christian, yes if we are in the last days life will get very difficult for Christians in a hostile world.
Concentrate on what is important.
Living visible as a Christian.

Is Eastern Orthodox Preterits? Today the world in going increasingly insane day by day; the bulk of people do not know the difference between right and wrong and more often than not choose wrong as right; this is fulfillment of prophesy; soon we will not be able to buy or sell with out the Mark; the mark may be something simple, like a blank spot where the seal of God should be.

We will need to know very soon, because the rot is already starting.

It can also be King Solomon and ironically, King Solomon is a very important character in Freemasonry.

The FM logo is really two triangles up and down like the Jewish "Star of David" hexagram which is also claimed to be the same symbol used by King Solomon in myths.

Unsurprisingly many other symbolisms or rituals in Freemasonry is strongly linked to Judaism - the Jewish Orthodox religion.

It's somewhat ridiculous Freemasonry claims it isn't a religion but had so many things "borrowed" from Judaism. Obviously, the Christian members also claim it's not a religion. Is how very strong their mind conditioning if they can believe the lie is the truth.

As a Christian, you can't be in Judaism as well. The religion is hostile to Christ and in some degree hostile to Christians as well. Judaists does not acknowledge Christ. It's the same religion that came from Pharisee.

I agree yet some will be lost, not willing to stave to death, I believe Jesus also said that

I agree, but I would not stereotype all descendants of Judah as Judaists; one of the 12 gates into the New Jerusalem is for the tribe of Judah.

There is the two horned beast, which I believe is now history, and the horns were a equilateral triangle and a flatter triangle on pillars representing a Pagan temple. These are found on Buckingham Palace, the White House and the Vatican, and on court houses and public buildings all over the planet. To day we have the image of the beast, which is not physical, more like the spirit of anti-Christ.

The Orthodox Church is neither preterist nor any other thing of the sort except amillenialist. As to the world "going increasingly insane day by day" you need only look to Rev 20:7-8.

Nero Ceasar = 666
Wikipedia's
Nero Caesar" in the Hebrew alphabet is נרון קסר NRON QSR, which when interpreted numerically represents the numbers 50 200 6 50 100 60 200, which add up to 666.

 

[Matt5]

Funny how the mark (XEc) looks suspiciously like the name of Allah in Arabic.

It's also suspicious how Islam prophecy talks about the Mahdi and Islamic Jesus coming to convert the entire world to Islam. Christians should know those two as the antichrist and false prophet.

Yes, we've all looked into this for many years, and it's an elusive question. Many of us believe it is yet to be revealed--the Scriptures only state it will exist.

One of my favorite beliefs is that 666 adds up to the name of the original King of Rome. It was one of several attempts, by John, to state that the Roman Empire was the 4th and final Kingdom in Dan 2 and 7.

John could not just come out and state this, since he was imprisoned by Rome. So he had to tell riddles. He told a couple of these riddles in Rev 17, indicating the same, that the Harlot was a city of 7 hills, and that it was the 6th in a train of 7 historic kingdoms. Both of these riddles spell out Rome. So I think 666 does precisely the same thing, whether it uses Nero as an example, or it refers back to the original King of Rome.

I said this elsewhere....

There are many speculations, almost as old as the Bible text itself, regarding the meaning of 666 or to whom it is referencing. The Catholic Church states that Irenaeus (130 - 202 A.D.), an early church "father," wrote about whom this number might reference. He stated that the Greek word "Lateinos," when given their corresponding Greek values and added up (30 + 1 + 330 + 5 + 10 + 50 + 70 + 200), equals 666. The word itself means "Latin man."

Lateinos is perhaps the equivalent of Latino. That is, the Antichrist will be Latin, or Roman.

King Lateinos was the founder of Rome and the Roman Empire. In the Greek, every letter has a numerical value. The numerical value for “Lateinos” is 666. Therefore, the beast is clearly identified as the Roman Empire, as the number 666 identifies the founder of the Roman Empire–Lateinos.

A lot of people think the mark will be hidden. But based on scripture, I believe the mark will be very visible. Remember that John saw the mark and it resembles the Greek number 666 (Χ ξ ς). And it will show everyone your belief in and allegiance to the antichrist.

It is Adam's expiration date. 6 millennium 6 days, and 6 hours in a day. Adam's punishment is over at the 7th Trumpet, but some may be given an extension of time, but marked with the expiration date.

I am not able to agree with you. Did nero caesar brand people on their hand or on their forehead? It is the image of the Beast that causes the mark to be received. Do you know who the Two Horned Beast is who creates the image of the Beast? Would the image be described like this, “who is able to make war with him”?

I believe Nero Caesar would have been dead when John wrote Revelation, and I believe chapter 13 is prophetic and not historical.

I suspect the dragon is Rome or the first beast; the Beast is the two horned beast; and the false prophet is the image of the beast.

In Hebrew and Greek all words and names are strings of numbers that can be added up and his or her name adds up to 666.
