Hey,

We all know heard of the number of the beast, right? Well, some biblical historians have been saying that the actual mark of the beast is 616, and not 666, the number we all grew up with and loved.

I personally think it is 616. 6+1+6 = 13. The beast was talked about in Revelation 13. I guess that just makes more sense to me, otherwise the bible would have picked Revelation 18 (6+6+6).

The bible said the devil is a liar. So Iron Maiden who are about the devil might naturally lie about the mark of the beast? Makes sense?

A true Prince of Lies would tell the truth and then lie about it later so it makes sense that it is 666 but he doesn't want us to know it is six six six.

No it’s actually 606 which is the operator code one would enter into a computer with a risc processor when they are sacrificing a lamb on an altar and making a carbon transformation. 60606 would be the code for two twin lambs at the same time. Makes a nor gate with the least significant bit sandwiched in the middle. For an OS written in nor logic the code would either be “nor 11” or “nor AA” to do the same thing in the assembly language.

Everything about your posting and self is pretty demonic so I actually trust what you say on this and that it even makes quite a lot of sense.

A computer beast code would be 606 or 616 instead of our known binary 010101.

666 is the devils number which is why there's no 666 area code. There is, however a 616 area code.

Would our government lead us this far astray? No, so checkmate, athetits.

666 actually refers to Nero Caesar, who was a pretty bad and hosed up dude.

N = 50
R = 200
W = 6
N = 50
Q = 100
S = 60
R = 200

= 666

It’s actually pronounced ses om or “seize ohm”. Referring to iron sets made in animals and people who have been given 7th order and prime order nerve damage so the set takes on a human altar. Retards. It gives them more range of motion in stop time because it’s a c4 vertebral transformation vs sets made in animals that lodge lower in the spine. A Caesar can kill a general, etc.

Lol I noticed. But it doesn't stop Wikipedia from decidedly agreeing it Was Nero C. Maybe it is since he was definitely problematic, but I need more information!

So it was going in on Nero? And because NC was a person and time is cyclical, there will always a be 'great beast'? Or could have it just been a coincidence (a false positive) and/or maybe just something like synchronicity.

No. Its nero, because that was his name. He played a fiddle while rome burned. Did you not know this?

quote:

If we spell Caesar Nero as “Kaisar Neron,” which is the Hebrew equivalent (or transliteration), then we can add up the number of each letter. 

Some interpreters believe that this was purposely encoded to describe Nero, so that Christians wouldn’t be openly persecuted by the Roman government.[2] However, we might respond, if Nero was already dead at the time of this book’s writing (AD 95), why would believers be afraid of persecution from him? Even the Roman senate knew Nero was insane, censuring him in AD 68. In addition to this, there are several other problems with this interpretation:

First, it is easy to force a meaning using this methodology. For instance, it’s suspicious that we need to transliterate Nero’s name into Hebrew before adding up the numbers. Why couldn’t we just add up the numerical value in Greek? Moreover, if we transliterate into Latin, we get similar results. Some early manuscripts read “616” rather than “666.” Osborne notes, “The Latin form of ‘Nero Caesar’ transliterated into Hebrew adds up to 616.”[3] This makes us wonder if we’re really discovering a meaning or if we’re creating one. Dr. George Salmon (mocking the idea of trying to use gematria to figure out who 666 refers to) aptly writes,

First, if the proper name by itself will not yield it, add a title; secondly, if the sum cannot be found in Greek, try Hebrew, or even Latin; thirdly, do not be too particular about the spelling… We cannot infer much from the fact that a key fits the lock if it is a lock in which almost any key will turn.[4]

Myth busted!

Nero is Oren or more accurately “or en s” refers to the usage of the 2 ton gold sets created by the Apollo program (the first 200 year launch landed in the ocean and electrocuted to a gnarled 10lb gold nugget lol) so 400 years later they launch this twisting spaceship in a northerly direction and the engineering is so lovely that instead of trying to make it correctly they commission all these inbred retards to make a bunch of sets to try in S (apollo gold ladder to the north) and orens extrapolated this data from putting a logic gate in S and made an altar out of pine wood and iron. The pine can conduct enough electricity it a given direction without arcing, enough to make iron transformations in people. Turns out it didn’t work in S as expected but it was repurposed for eliter than elite war generals as guards for moses’s monkey and ram sacrifice combination.

So the real name is “OR en S Ses Om”
