Scientists Say the Number of the Beast is Wrong

This Changes Stuff....

Behold the number of the beast. For it is a human number. That number is six hundred and SIXTEEN???

Don't tell Bruce Dickinson, but scientists at McGill University recently deciphered a fragment of the oldest surviving copy of the New Testament and the analysis revealed that 666 is not the fabled Number of the Beast after all. The conclusion of the scientists is the mark of the Antichrist is actually 616.

The tiny fragment of 1,500-year-old papyrus is written in Greek, the original language of the New Testament, and contains a key passage from the Book of Revelation.

Where more conventional versions of the Bible give 666 as the "number of the beast," or the sign of the anti-Christ whose coming is predicted in the book's apocalyptic verses, the older version uses the Greek letters signifying 616.

What does this really mean? That depends on your orientation to such religious fare. The lucky thing for you is, there are plenty of places that use lasers to remove tattoos.

Read the entire story in The National Post.

i think that all of the bible is all a bunch of bullshit. they want you to believe everything thats in it, but they themselves cane even believe it. if they really believed it, they woulnt keep researching it making sure that they really do have something to believe in. i think that if there will be an antichrist, that you wont be able to research he-she-it. if satin wants you to know his shit youll find out so that you will want to follow him into the depths of hell for eternity. i think they need to leave all this shit alone, and quit telling everyone something new every other day. all they ever do is change what they have already said, and all that does for us is make it harder and harder for us to belive a fucking word that comes out of their mouths.

666 was gematriah for the Hellenicised version of Nero's name. He was the first great persecutor of the Christians, who at that time were still identifying themselves as Jews. Sorry, that site is incorrect. The Babylonian numerical system has nothing to do with gematriah, and 666 was Nero.

666 is just misinterpreted Babylian number. Its base 20 for 3190 , more info: 2012.burakeldem.com (no I am not him)

Bruce says the words (or numbers, I guess), but come on, souldn't you have mentioned Steve????

JaySuperstar - 5/12/2005 12:25:36 PM
Again, 666 is the original Hellenicised Hebrew, and 616 is a later, Latin transliteration.

davesmetal - 5/12/2005 8:41:50 AM
I think I'll still go by 666. 616 just doesn't sound right.
