Hello everyone. I was wondering... doesn't anyone think it strange that in the United States Code, 42 USC 666, subsection lucky 13, says that you can't have an occupational license, drivers license, recreational license, or marriage license without bearing a government number (SSN)? I was thinking how weird it is anyway (maybe I'm old school) for free people to each have to be assigned a government number like convicts that they are supposed to keep secret (except from companies and the government), the preservation of which is required to protect their "identity" from being stolen. To have a government number and have that be your identity, where your "life" will be ruined unless you keep it secret (like that name that only you will know, Revelation 2:17) is not normal... For them to put it under 42 USC 666 is super creepy...as if they are trying to rub it in our faces. And nowadays, you can't have a bank account or credit card without that government number. And there are companies such as Midway USA that won't sell you products unless you use a credit card...checks, money orders, etc, rejected. I have even seen some banker talk about how those and other methods will be used to force people to use credit cards, under the guise of protection from money laundering, as if bankers are law enforcement rather than the criminals they continually show themselves to be.. I have also found that it is the primary key in planetary databases where they track everything about you..and the United Nations has a requirement for everyone on the planet to bear such a number by 2030. Surely the SSN has been turned into the mark of the beast with the frog in boiling water method. If you won't remember your number (your forehead?) or carry it via plastic in your hand, a lifetime of persecution and botheration appears to be the future. And what's worse, even regular people try to act like only criminals won't bear their government number. I am not property of the government, to bear their number name that they create for me lest I lose my unalienable rights... Does no one else here mind bearing a government number just to live a normal life? I am particularly talking about Americans. If you are in a dictatorship, I guess you're supposed to do whatever they say with no regards for rights.

From what I understand, every country except maybe 3 has a number. And that it is a requirement of the United Nations. Canada's is known as the SIN (social insurance number)..which is also weird. The UN also wants everyone to have biometric photo, fingerprints, and eyeball scans. And here, they just started trying to eyeball scan the school teachers, saying it is just to keep kids safe. And I see that they have tried to eyeball scan people getting on some random flight.. The UN has some weird satanic stuff at their headquarters too. I think their publishing house was the lucis (lucifer) trust...

I don't see how the US can't be a pivotal country, when it is the most powerful in the world and was behind the founding of the United Nations and has the UN headquarters in New York. The UN is like the rebuilding of the tower of babel...

[FONT=&quot] The real number according to new translation is 616. Not 666.. And 666 is also a number with many beautiful mathematical properties. So I think the ultimate meaning of 666 is most likely the creative power of God, the Logos, the Christ, and the Kingdom of Christ. But the Beast whose number is 666 is a Satanic counterfeit christ or antichrist who comes with that holy number, in order to make a mockery of it.

Just something to think about.

I have heard that and seen some translations that say it is 616. I have wondered about it, but I think it is 666 because 616 appears nowhere else in the Bible, but 666 talks about solomon's gold...and Rev 13 refers to buying and selling. Also, the image of Nebuchadnezzar in the plains of Dura was 60 cubits high and 6 cubits wide. And it was an image of gold. Also, 6 types of instrument were listed.

I have found myself wondering if it is 666 as if it approaches 7 (God's chosen number, when his creation was complete), but fails to reach 7, in the same way that .999999 never reaches 1.0.

Also, in response to an earlier comment, isn't it strange that the washington monument is clearly intended to be 1,666 inches tall??

You're right. The USA hadn't even been thought of back then.

My mistake..but the point is the same...is that not weird and unfortunate?

It applies to the book of Revelation also. Revelation was written to seven specific groups of people in Asia back around the year 64 or 65AD. Contrary to popular wishful hoping, it was not written to be ignored till people populated a new nation, 2,000 years later.

You didn't mention who didn't think of the US back then...

Also, I'm not sure how one could say that it is wishful hoping to want to be faced by the mark of the beast and have your head chopped off, have locusts ravaging, have the vials of God's wrath poured out, etc. It seems more wishful hoping to assume that it has all already happened and we just didn't notice it.

Prophecy doesn't seem to serve much purpose if it has all already happened and no one can figure out what it means even in retrospect.

Also, the timelines in Revelation clearly end with the end of the world. The world is still here.

As regards the plagues of God's wrath, if the Egyptian plagues made a big mark on things, how could all of God's angryness be saved up, poured into vials of wrath and then poured upon the earth with no one noticing? Doesn't make sense to me.

the mark of the beast has been around ever since Cain..Its the stigma of sin in the works of one that fulfills the lusts of the flesh, and its sinful appetites...Peter and Jude called these types brute beasts, fit only for destruction...Of these types (the wicked), Paul said there is none good, no not one. Then he quoted from the OT various times in the next 10 verse to proof text his opening statement "it is written"....In all the OT chapters he quoted from the reprobate were contrasted against the righteous...He began with Psalms 14-1, as among those that say there is no God there can be none good, (They are corrupt,
they have done abominable works, there is none that does good
). It is these that have the mark of the beast..... He then progresses to those who have an evil tongue and throats of open seplechures, feet swift to shed blood, etc. In each case he draws from several OT writings that describe the wicked, who were contrasted against the righteous...These are the ones that have the mark of the beast, because they live by their flesh appetites and ignore the sound reasoning of God's word....If a person is sinning daily in thought, word, and deed, they already have the mark of the beast...The mark on the forehead is symbolic for evil thoughts, and the mark on the hands is indicative of the evil works........be blessed

Revelation 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:

This is the "Mark of the beast" which is confusing to many today. This mark is in your hand, and in your forehead. Can an electronic chip be put in your hand, and forehead change your beliefs? I don't think so.

"In your hand" is an idiom that means to do Satan's work. You do the work of Satan [the Antichrist] when you bring others to him or help in his system. This mark in the hand is speaking in a spiritual sense.

"In the forehead" is referring to your mind [brain]. Being deceived by Satan in your mind is when you think he is the true Christ, and in ignorance you worship him. No computer chip will condemn you, for it is your faith that you will be judged by.

Revelation 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.

Wisdom comes from knowledge, and all wisdom is from God, from wisdom comes understanding. We were told to "count the number of the beast". This was written in Greek, and the Greek word means more than counting numbers. You simply can't understand this meaning if you don't understand this Greek word. The word is #5585 in Strong's Greek dictionary, and it means to "calculate by counting the stones that are worn smooth over a long period of time."

What stones?

We were told in chapter two, we would receive a new stone with a new name written on it. This word "count" originated from that word "stone" of chapter two of the book of Genesis. These are the only places in the Bible this word for count, or stone is used. So we must enumerate, or calculate these stones worn smooth over a long period of time. "Their rock is not our Rock, and his stones are not our Stones," is what the overcomers will sing, as the "Song of Moses tells us in Deuteronomy 32. God is our Rock, and Satan is the false rock, but which stones are we to count?

The stones are the number of a man, that man is Satan, and if you know Satan you will know his children. Those stones are his children [offspring]. The "mark of the beast" number [6-6-6] then is to count or know Satan's children over a long period of time.

They are the "Kenites", the offspring of Cain, who was the child of Satan, through Eve, who was "beguiled in the Garden of Eden".


Jesus said in Revelation 2 and 3 that the Churches of Smyrna and Philadelphia were the only acceptable churches to Him because they knew who the Kenites were. The Kenites were "those who said they were Jews, and lied; because they were of the synagogue of Satan".

The seven churches are the seven types of churches existing in these last days. Five are not acceptable to God, while the two are.

There is no "WE" to the book of Revelation.
It was a letter written, not to us, but to persecuted Christians living all around Asia — about the things that were going to happen to the Jewish nation of Israel in a very short time of them hearing parts of that letter read to them as a part of their weekly services each Sunday for a year, or so. (Do you seriously think someone stood up in front each of those 7 churches, and blasted them with that full letter..... How long did it take you to read it?)

John's letter never addressed "the world" ending. He was warning those scared people that really tough times were coming (tribulation) as judgement (riding on the clouds... as "judgment" is described all through the Bible.) came upon Israel. And those tribulations DID come, just as he warned, when almost every living Jew on the face of the Earth was wiped out as Rome destroyed their Temple and their system of worship, as they knew it. That sacrificial form of worship met its doom... it ENDED.

It was all coming "in the very near future" for those people who had parts of that letter of John's preached to them every Sunday. They already had been taught that any prophet whose predictions did not come true was a liar, so they fully expected all those things to happen.... and they remembered what Jesus had also warned of 30 some years earlier, and they headed for the hills (literally) when it all began and they heard that the Roman army was heading their way, and would be there in a few days.

I really don't think that this country cares squat about anything the UN proposes. What a worthless organization. The US should leave and tell them to vacate the real estate in NY.

This stuff about the stones is interesting...but what I get from interlinear studies is that one with "intelligence" is supposed to "compute" the number of the beast. Not that it will be obvious to everyone or require no figuring.. And it seems a moot point to say that you're not supposed to be a sinner or satan guy. Why rehash that in prophetic language and carry that language through Revelation unto where it says that those who accepted the mark would be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and the lamb? It doesn't say that they will just be thrown in the lake of fire. It says other things too that seem very specific, such that the whole business appears to go beyond saying "be a Christian".

I suppose everyone has to live according to what they personally believe in, and I know that no one wants to believe anything that will make their lives miserable...but for my part, the "coincidences" above are too many for me to be willing to memorize and (bark out upon command) a number name given to me by the government in order to be allowed to have a bank account, credit card, buy electricity, have a driver's license, occupational license, marriage license, or fishing license. I was doing some reading the other day and came across this quote:

As Professor Quigley observes: "his [the individual's] freedom and choice
will be controlled within very narrow alternatives by the fact that he
will be numbered from birth and followed, as a number, through his
educational training, his required military or other public service, his
tax contributions, his health and medical requirements, and his final
retirement and death benefits."

Whether or not you think it is the mark of the beast, I think we can agree that this is some weird nazi stuff. It sounds like slave junk to me. And as it goes hand in hand with the government providing sustenance to you that you should be thankful for (out of money already taken from others in the first place), it's just way too much.

The first plague of God's wrath is a noisome sore upon those who took the mark of the beast. God's Egyptian plagues were literal...I don't see why these plagues of outrageous and angry wrath would be some symbolic talk that no one can identify even after it has happened...

I have seen where people refused the number and then had their driver's licenses taken..and the government sent them letters saying that it is because of 42 USC 666 that they can't drive unless they bear the number. And in many (most?) places, a person must reaffirm "their number" when they simply renew their driver's license. Imagine that, going in with a license, and your actual face which is on it, and then being told to reaffirm "your number" or else you'd have to walk to the hospital and grocery store. I think it is unAmerican, and it seems particularly unholy as people do not trust in God for their sustenance, but instead obsess over their money such that it is the most important thing in their lives. Even Forbes magazine has an article entitled: "Social Security Number May Be Mark Of The Beast But That Will Not Save Your Job". And so the bankers rub it in our faces.

I think if a person would defile their body, made by God, by implanting electronics so they would be allowed to buy and sell, that such is clearly an abomination.

But for my part, I also think it an abomination for the planetary bankers to assign number names to people that they must accept, memorize, and repeat upon command in order to be allowed to survive.

And yet all of a sudden, the Real ID act says that we need to adhere to those human stalking requirements pushed by the UN just to be allowed to drive a car. Back in the 80s, people said that a national ID would be the mark of the beast. Now it is here as Real ID, complete with a star on it if it is "real", and no one cares, even though now they are wanting retina scans and all sorts of stuff.

The UN was put in place by the US - it is run from here and lives here. It would be nice if it could go away...but I'm afraid it will not, unless it be replaced by another world government run by the same sorts.

But they will want things to run smoother than credit cards only,which I believe will be the microchip linked to satellite to track everybody's location on earth,and they might go to a smart card that holds all information about them,for all people,and cashless,as a stepping stone to the chip,which then all information about them will be on the chip,which they believe will be a smoother operation,and less problems,for they cannot lose the chip in their right hand,or forehead.

Technology will push them to do it if they wants things to run smoother,and cut down on crime,find lost people,no money to be lost,no card to be lost.It is common sense they will do that especially since they want to keep tabs on the people of the world,which they always want to,but the world will become stricter,and more demanding to comply to what they want.

For when the world comes together as one to try to solve their problems,that is a lot of people to deal with,so the chip to them is a better solution than a smart card.

The beast's agenda is there is no personal God to help mankind,and mankind's technology can help to achieve peace on earth.

All information about the person on the chip,and when scanned a picture of them on computer,with all information about them,including financial records,one world economic system,no person may buy or sell without the mark,and can cut down on crime,for if a crime happens in an area they will know who was in the area,and how close to the crime scene,and can find lost people.

Technology will push them to do it,and they want things to run smoother,so it is common sense what they will do.
