the number of the beast.

Amazing how ones eyes are opened once we see just who the beast is!  This, for me was an incredible enlightment.  Several years ago reading all the books out there trying to discover the meaning behind the number of the beast and seeing all the many different interpretations, just could never hit the nail on the head until I came upon Rays site.  He cleared it all up with the scriptures instead of opinion.  For this I am truly grateful.

It all makes perfect sense now.  It's good to be free!  :D  8)

God bless,

Amazing is the Word! Traditional christianity would have us trudging to the far corners of the world looking for evidence of the emergence of "the beast" at some future point in history.

The time has always been the here and now for every generation to get in front of the mirror.

There used to be a saying years ago that people would say when they were dissatisfied with their life. they were usually tired of their job, kids, husband or just life in general. When they couldn't stand life anymore they would say "I"m going to go out and find myself."
This is exactly how I used to feel about the antichrist or Mr. 666. I would try to find him and, just as the person who wants to find himself, I just need to look in the mirror and there she or he is.
How much the scripture makes sense when we know these awesome truths. God does such a magnificent job of hiding his truths in scripture. I can see why people are running around trying fto find some man who fits the description. What they don't know is we all fit the description of 666. We are all the antichrist, or were at one time.

One interesting point about 666, that I do not believe Ray brought up in his 13. Who is the Beast? - 666?, is the the place meant of the mark on the hand and forehead. I personally believe that the place meant of the mark is prophetic. The hand and the forehead are both centers of creation in humans. The hand is the center of man physical creations, and the forehead is the center of man creative thought. 6 is the member of man, and a member repeated 3 times means absolute, or God like. So you get man as God in creation, or creative ability.

 It is worth Noting that knowledge progresses at a geometric rate. So at some point in time, which can be plotted on a curve man technological knowledge will reach a singularity. It is a point of ignorance. An example of simple mathematical singularity is the point when x = 1 in 1/(x-1) It simply means that at that point the value of x is indefinite.

--- Quote ---Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange visually represented Alex (Malcolm McDowell) as the Beast during a scene where he is accosted by two police officers who are identified as 665 and 667.
--- End quote ---

Stanley K, probably unknowingly, got it exactly right. 666 is not the number of the number of the "anti Christ" although the two can be closely related. It is the number of man. So it is funny, as hillsbororiver said, how many people look outward for the beast just as they look outward for the Kingdom. When they find out that they already wear that mark on their foreheads, they will be as suprised as I was.
