Is this video supporting one politician over the other?

@CorvusBlackthorne Or some serious hallucinogenics which is what that guy is on 🤪

@CorvusBlackthorne yea no kidding this guy goes on and on. He’s like digging his own rabbit holes. 666 is the number of man plain and simple. So I’d surmise that somewhere within the seed of Adam (man) the beast will succeed in corrupting that image. Hence the anti-Christ, fathered by the beast, born man/God. Perfect antithesis to Christ and a deception to us all.

[quote] the author of Revelations had been forced to flee his home by the Romans, and would have recently seen a wave of state-sanctioned violence and hostility against (what we would now call) Christians, also at the hands of the Romans. In charge of both these catastrophes was the Emperor Nero, who, despite being dead by the time Revelations was written, many people were convinced was about to come back at any time, like a kind of evil Ancient Elvis. Could the “Beast” be referring to Nero?
Well guess what: “Caesar Nero” translated into Hebrew is נרון קיסר – or, to spell it out letter-by-letter, nun-resh-vav-nun qof-samek-resh. Each of these letters has a value in Hebrew numerals:
Nun-resh-vav-nun qof-samek-resh becomes 50+200+6+50+100+60+200.
If we add up the values of the letters in “Caesar Nero,” then, we get … that’s right: 666.
“John would have wanted his readers to understand that,” Pagels explained. “That number, which is couched in a mysterious code, would be understood to his readers as the name of one of those emperors who destroyed his people.”
So not a real beast; not the antichrist; just a particularly anti-Christian Emperor who had really screwed over the writer of Revelations – and who apparently might come back at any moment, so you’d better not piss him off.
“No one wants to write a book under imperial persecutions saying, 'The root of all evil is Nero Caesar,'” added Watts in the Numberphile video. “You're not going to spell that out.”

@SpiritualMan The entire Bible is about Jesus saving us from death because of our sins, and he is coming in our generation any day.

@SpiritualMan It does indeed and a little bit of crazy too, it's not an easy job but that's why some of us loved doing it, most of us in fact wouldn't want to be anything else! 😊
spjennifer · 56-60, T
@Carazaa Thank you, but that wasn't my point, many of those in foreign Countries don't even know who Jesus was, nor that he existed so what of them? Just because they are ignorant of his existence doesn't mean they aren't deserving of redemption or that they are evil just because they aren't Christian or "Saved". It's not an exclusive club where only those who repent are saved is what I meant. I'm not trying to be offensive but I can't agree with that belief system if that's the case.

@spjennifer OK I get that, but God saved me as a child not really knowing anything about Jesus. I learned about Jesus after I was saved. God has explained this in the Bible how "the firmament declares his Glory." We are without excuse.

Normally I would leave this alone because its you. But I am obliged to point out that the original texts point to "The Mark of the Beast" (Not the number) and that the original was 3 "6" shaped symbols arranged with thei tails all meeting in the centre and had no numerical meaning. Which kind of takes the steam out of this whole theory, even if you were inclined to believe. Now all this is using the same bible you use, just an older edition where the printers werent so lazy.😷

@SpiritualMan OK well you are entitled to your opinion, but God is very clear that he is coming back and has told us the signs of the last generation, as well as the timeline since Adam by name, 6000 years (6 days going into the day 7 of rest) and 2000 years (2 Godly days since He rose going into day 3)) Jesus said I will rise in 3 days. A thousand days are like a day to God and God is not slow to keep his promise ([b][big]2 Peter 3:3)[/big][/b]

Please do not follow numerology.

"Godly" means we are walking with the Holy Spirit, and born again, living for heaven, not for this world. Jesus said, "My own know my voice" We are Not deceived into false doctrines ever.

@SpiritualMan Jesus is probably coming between 2023-2028. One Godly Bible scholar believes he is coming 2036 and before that there is the great tribulation of very evil times which I think we might be in right now.
