:}\nthe term is Latin and means "Vicar of the Son of God." the fact that it has numerological equivalent of 666 has been made much of.\nIt was apparently a title applied to Peter, but to no subsequent pope, who were referred to as vicars of peter.\n\nAnti catholic interest have made much of the numerical equivalent.

The answer is in verse one.\n\n"The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants—things which must shortly take place. And He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John, who bore witness to the word of God, and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, to all things that he saw."

No, because there is no such thing as 'the beast'.  \n\nIf there were, the mark would more likely be an embedded RFID chip.

Many of the bible prophecies have already come to pass including the return of the Jews to Israel. Everything needed for the mark of the beast is in place and we are seeing increased weather conditions and earthquakes all of which are also in the bible. I truly believe we are in the last days. To read it for yourself, turn to revelations and Daniel. God does not tell us the exact time but gives us many of the end time signs.

That is the number of the beast, or Stan...however you like to call it! The number of God is 7; that number represents the beast because it is supposed to show that the beast is inferior to God - it is like 7 (the holy number) opposed to 6. The number is multiplied three times in order to emphasize that idea of inferiority.\n\n6 stands for weakness of man, manifestation of sin, evils of Satan. \n\nSix: Incomplete, the current state of man as man is incomplete without God. Man was created on the sixth day.  The antichrist has the number 666 associated with him as he is totally incomplete, a "trinity" of incompleteness, the Antichrist is totally without God. \n\nSix is man's number - the most obvious use of this number is in the notorious passage containing 666. \n\n(Rev 13:18 NIV) This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666.\n\nKing Solomon in the Old Testament is also associated with the number 666 as he is in part a "Type" or "Foreshadow" of the coming Antichrist.\n\nThe Bible explains that Only Jesus is the rightful Ruler of the Universe and that those who claimed the title before Jesus were Trespassers and that those who claim the title after Jesus came are of the Antichrist.

I dont know if it will help and i didnt see the movie tho i have and have read the book, but it sounds like a symbol of male and female as the cross represents the sword and the male anatomy, and the 'v' shape of the heart is supposed to represent a females vagina in blunt terms. i tried to find my book but it is packed as im moving but i hope this sheds some light for you

Obviously, you're asking that because "666" is given as "the number of the beast (Antichrist)"   But notice that the text in which that number is given, it is not connected with any old occurrence of that number.   The number is associated with a PERSON, esp. with 'the number of his NAME'.  (This probably refers to the *value* of the letters in the name and/or title of the peerson.)\n\nRev 13:17-18. . .  the mark, that is, the NAME of the beast or the NUMBER of its NAME. This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666.\n\nSo, there is no grounds for expecting something related to this prophecy to happen on 6/6/6 (in ANY century).

The Fourth Seal  –  The Beasts of the Earth\n\nWe are witnessing the decline of the earth’s environment and resources, a prophetic fulfillment of the Bible. \n\nAt the Fourth SEAL, one-fourth part of the earth is to be destroyed before we move forward to the next Seal events (Re.6:7-8 below). \n\nOnce the one-fourth part is destroyed, we will move through the SEAL events, followed by the Seven TRUMPET events, and, finally, the Seven Last PLAGUE events.\n\nWhen the world faces acts of terrorism are we not facing beasts of the earth (Re.6:8, Jude 1:10-11, Titus 1:12, 2 Pet.2:11-13 below)?\n\n\nRe.6:7And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.\n\nRe.6:8And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him.  And power was given unto them over the FOURTH PART of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.\n\n\nBeasts of the Earth -\n\nJude 1:10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves. \n\nJude 1:11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain (1 Jn.3:12, Matt.13:38), and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.\n\nTitus 1:12 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.\n\n2 Pet 2:11 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.\n\n2 Pet.2:12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;\n\n2 Pet.2:13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;\n\n\n\n\nPat (ndbpsa ©)

Well, it is important to remember that the mark of the beast is 666. In wondering if the Verichip is that mark you would have to know its base code, but even if you did, it does not necessarily mean it is the mark of the beast. \nThe reason I say this is because the mark of the beast will be instituted throughout the world as an economic resource, so with that in mind there really is no way to tell if Verichip or any other identification chip is actually a precursor or the actual tool that will be used for the mark of the beast. \nIn the Bible, it tells us that each person will have an offer of whether or not to take the mark, and each person will have to choose. It also says that anyone who does choose to take the mark will have lost all hope of salvation and going to heaven. It is important to remember this because with regard to Verichip – that situation has not arisen yet and that God is very specific in what He tells us is coming. \nSo, I would have to say that Verichip may be a precursor to that upcoming economic world system based on 666, but at this time is not that mark – because the Scripture also tells us that whoever refuses to take the mark will be killed. That situation has not arisen yet. \nIf you are concerned with where we are in God’s plan – watch Israel. Israel is God’s timepiece, not the mark, the antichrist, wars, and all the other bad things going on in the world, watch Israel and you will be able to tell, by reading the Bible for yourself where we are in God’s plan. ~ God bless.\n\nRevelation 13:16-18; 14:9-11;  15:2; 16:2; 19:20; 20:4

Oh this one is easy haha. It is according to the book of revelation. It is not the devils number or any of that sort, but actually reference to Emperor Nero. Emperor Nero is the beast mentioned in Revelations. Revelation was written by John of Pathmos (there was more than one John) and it pertained to the time that it was written. It is not to be applied to current times. In the Hebrew form of Gematria 666 Spells out NRON KSR (Nero Kaisar or Nero Caesar)\n\nN=50 R=200 O=6 N=50 K=100 S=60 R=200 = 666\n\nBook of Revelation was written before the collapse of the 2nd Temple in 70 A.D. It was a call for a New Jerusalem. Babylon refers to Rome and the Beast refers to the Emperor.\n\nIt was Evil for Christians, why? Who do you think Nero happened to blame after the fire in Rome? Hehehe. And who do you think had to suffer and be persecuted? The Christians! So obviously, Christians would find this number evil, because it hints a very evil figure. Infact Nero used to use Christians as Garden Lamps in his Gardens (Where the Vatican now stands). He literally lit them on fire! Alive! Thousands of them. They could not openly write any of this because of obvious reasons. Christianity wasnt legalized till 313 AD (Edict of Milan) by Constantine. So anything Christian before that was illegal and you were subject to persecution if you were Christian. So whatever was written before this time was written in secret and using secret allergories and language (like the Hebrew Gematria) so that others would not understand. It was tough being a Christian back then :-p. Revelations was probably written around 68-69 A.D., right before the collapse of the Second Temple in 70. \n\n\nNothings Gonna Happen on June 6th. The sun will rise and it will set. And we'll all be happy. Who knows you might even get a raise at work :-D

According to the Bible, it's supposedly the number of the beast.\nHere is the verse from the Bible.\n\nRev 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:\nRev 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.\nRev 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

I am an Orthodox Jew and did a quick check on a few of my books.  The one thing I cannot find is any link between that kind of symbol and Judaism.  It was not used by any of the 12 tribes or any of the various Kings of Israel.\n\nIt doesn't meant here isn't any (I am no authority on this matter), but I cannot find one.  Maybe something more local to you and the area though.  Another option is that it is merely decorative- especially if it is an oriental dragon, orientalism has come and gone in fashion.  (A sudden thought- he wasn't originally Welsh was he?  It is a slim chance, I know)

If "the word" was a reference to God, they would have put it "the LORD".  It is a reference to Jesus.  The Jews do not believe that Jesus is the Messiah, though, Christians do.  Also, Jews go with the OT, not the NT.\nOn what evidence do you make that?  Under investigation, that statement wouldn't even last.  The last thing that the Romans would want is something that goes against their gods.\nIf you take that description to mean an albino, that means that your grandpa is one too.  Also, albino's don't have "eyes like a flame of fire" (Rev. 1:14).  And there is no reference to boots, only feet.  Even if it were boots that were being referenced, how would you draw from that the Roman boots?  That is highly far-out speculation.  The sword coming out of His mouth possibly represents His powerful, life-or-death giving words, as in Proverbs, words of the mouth are compared to swords many times.  \nWHERE ARE YOU GETTING SABBATONS FROM!!!!????  When it says that the beast has bear's feet, the beast has the feet of a bear!  It's that simple, and not very far-fetched!  A beast with bears feet!  Do you expect a beast to have babies feet?  Or wearing military boots?\nWhere did you hear that?  A lion can be a symbol of strength, or danger if your on his bad side.  And yet, a lioness so gently carries her cubs with the same mouth that kills creatues many times larger that itself.  As for the leopard, it just means beutiful.  I don't think that the Son of God would be very ugly, do you?

Rev. 17:12   And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.  \nRev 17:13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.\nRev 17:14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: \n\nAs we approach the last crisis, it is of vital moment that harmony and unity exist among the Lord's instrumentalities. The world is filled with storm and war and variance. Yet under one head--the papal power--the people will unite to oppose God in the person of His witnesses.  \n     What is it that gives its kingdom to this power? Protestantism, a power which, while professing to have the temper and spirit of a lamb and to be allied to Heaven, speaks with the voice of a dragon. It is moved by a power from beneath.   \n     "These have one mind." There will be a universal bond of union, one great harmony, a confederacy of Satan's forces. "And shall give their power and strength unto the beast." Thus is manifested the same arbitrary, oppressive power against religious liberty, freedom to worship God according to the dictates of conscience, as was manifested by the papacy, when in the past it persecuted those who dared to refuse to conform with the religious rites and ceremonies of Romanism.   \n     In the warfare to be waged in the last days there will be united, in opposition to God's people, all the corrupt powers that have apostatized from allegiance to the law of Jehovah. In this warfare the Sabbath of the fourth commandment will be the great point at issue; for in the Sabbath commandment the great Lawgiver identifies Himself as the Creator of the heavens and the earth. \n     Through the two great errors, the immortality of the soul and Sunday sacredness, Satan will bring the people under his deceptions. While the former lays the foundation of spiritualism, the latter creates a bond of sympathy with Rome. The Protestants of the United States will be foremost in stretching their hands across the gulf to grasp the hand of spiritualism; they will reach over the abyss to clasp hands with the Roman power; and under the influence of this threefold union, this country will follow in the steps of Rome in trampling on the rights of conscience.

It means don't ever stop giving up on the Lord to me. My grand mother told me this: There is a devil there is no doubt, but is he trying to get in, or is he trying to get out.\n\nThis means something to me. For me, it is my responsibility to make the connection with God each and everyday. The only way I have found to do that, is through daily prayer and mediation, and that is the connector. Good deeds are not enough for me. I am also responsible for my own happiness, and I have never found it, other than through spirituality, and the connection with my Lord.
