666

[Sowelu]

Numerologically, 6-6-6 occurred June 6th, 2004.

This year, it's 6-6-8.

Just thought I'd mention that.

Fun... I would like to know how that lines up with 2004... I was of the thought pattern that 666 would have been 2000 years ago today... i.e.: June 6th... 6AD

I’d love to learn more about numerology

Sowelu,
Yes, I heard that also. Many people are speculating about today's date.
I was wondering, I think there may likely be a download today as the total of todays days is 6+6=12+6=18+2+20+6=26 2+6= 8 so today's vibration is the number 8 which represents infinity.
Just wondering....maybe today marks the opening of the infinity gate? Anyone have any ideas or information on this? I am not to versified in numerology. LOL!

666--Continued

Today may be your unlucky day
Today is June 6, 2006—or 666 to numerologists. In the Bible, Revelation 13:18 describes the number "666" as "the number of the beast." No one seems to know exactly what this means, but many people think it refers to something evil. About a year ago, we told you that 666 is NOT the "number of the beast" anyway—that's actually 616.
Theologian Greg Snyder says that the Biblical reference to "666" is a numeric code for a feared Roman Emperor, and not an indication of apocalypse. Revelation 13:18 ascribes the number "666" to the beast that rises from the sea and says it is also "the number of a man." Since the second century, the number and identity of the malevolent, apocalyptic figure it supposedly identifies have been the focus of endless speculation.

However, the best explanation comes from the ancient practice of "gematria," or number mysticism. Gematria assigns numerical significance to letters of the alphabet, e.g., a=1, b=2, c=3 and so on. This can be carried out in any phonetic language, and from the ancient world, we have examples in Greek, Latin, and in Hebrew. Transliterate the phrase "Nero Caesar" into Hebrew characters and assign numerical values those characters based on the rules of gematria, and the sum turns out to be 666—or in this case, actually 616.

So in the Book of Revelation, the number probably refers to the nasty ruler responsible for a vicious but short-lived persecution of Christians in the city of Rome, in the years A.D. 64-65. Thus "666" refers to something in the PAST, not in the future.

Anthropologist Phillips Stevens agrees that it refers to Roman emperor Nero. He says, "…Like many superstitions, the one regarding 666 is based on incorrect data: the 'beast' referred to in the chapter is not Satan but, in fact, several other entities. Biblical scholars have pointed out that there are several 'beasts,' in Chapter 13 and elsewhere, and they all refer variously to Rome, Roman emperors and Roman cults of god- and emperor-worship.

"The author of Revelation is believed to be John of Patmos, who was writing to other persecuted Christians in code. According to Stevens, "Many of the strange elements in 'Revelation' signify events, people or institutions familiar to first-century Christians. The mark of the beast, 666, signifies those in thrall to the emperor and thus opposed to Christianity, and is most probably the numerical equivalent of the Hebrew letters for Nero.

"The First and Second Letters of John use the term ‘Antichrist’ to denote lapsed Christians. Over subsequent centuries, the legend developed that the 'end times' would be foreshadowed by the arrival of the Antichrist, an evil figure commissioned by Satan to prepare the world for his coming," Stevens says. "Many perceived enemies of Christianity have been labeled the antichrist, and Nero was one of the first."

Yes, Melchizaniel, you're right! I guess the whole point to my brief post was just that the last 2000 years do count quite a bit toward changing the whole "666" mentality.

And... "numerologically speaking" ... the difference is "balance" (2=balance and cooperation) with a trinity of inner gifts (0=inner gifts). *heehee* Very cool!

There's a lot of sources on the 'net for numerology, I'm pretty sure. And there's more than one system, from what I understand. Like most things, go with what resonates, you know?

Again, MirRA, that's partly why I made my brief post. Numerology adds the whole year and comes up with the number (just go to a numerology site and do your "life path number, destiny number, etc. and you'll see how the "adding down" is done). So numerologically speaking, it is not "666" this year, but rather "668".

But I guess sensationalism sells more.

We were talking about layers of truth and reality. This is a layer of truth for some and their reality - that it is 666. Hope it delivers everything they energetically want and need!
