666 meaning

[DavidMark]

What is the result of these archaic numerologies? Nothing.
Without any formal education the Promised One of all religions, appearing in 1260 AH/1844 CE re-structured the Cause of God around the number 19. The Báb and His 18 followers constituted the first Unit to await Baha’u’llah. The calendar had 19 months with 19days each. And it was promised that Baha’u’llah would appear in 19 years from 1844 (that is, 1863) and that’s when He announced His Mission in Baghdad…before His exile to the Ottoman capitol.
The import of 666 has no other relevant meaning except to refer to the schism within Islam, the matrix from which the Bábí-Bahá’í Faith arose.

What is the meaning of numbers 666 in the Bible?

In the Scriptures, certain numbers have symbolic significance.
The number seven, for example, is often used to symbolize that which is complete, or perfect, in God’s eyes. For instance, God’s creative week comprises seven ‘days,’ during which God completely accomplishes his creative purpose regarding the earth. (Genesis 1:3–2:3) God’s “sayings” are like silver that has been “clarified seven times,” thus perfectly refined. (Psalm 12:6; Proverbs 30:5,*6)

Six is one short of seven. A fitting symbol of something imperfect, or defective, in God’s eyes.
Six repeated three times, as 666, powerfully stresses that imperfection.
Thus, the beast’s record, its “human number,” and the number 666 itself all point to
gross shortcoming and failure in the eyes of God.
The portrayal of the beast’s deficiencies calls to mind what was said about King Belshazzar of ancient Babylon. Through Daniel, God said to that ruler: “You have been weighed in the balances and have been found deficient.” That very night Belshazzar was killed, and the mighty Babylonian Empire fell. (Daniel 5:27,*30) Likewise, God’s judgment of the political beast and of those with its mark spells the end of that entity and its supporters. In this instance, however, God will eradicate not just one political system but every vestige of human rule. (Daniel 2:44; Revelation 19:19,*20)

It is the thirty-sixth triangular number, and 36 is the value of the name Eli.

Why should the name Eli be significant? I know Jesus uttered this name to God but why is it significant to the number of the beast?

It is said that the Torah has 70 facets. If a gem has 70 triangular facets, then the triangles join at 37 points, and pairs of those points establish 666 lines.

There are 36 decans in the year of the zodiac, each person is born during one of the decans. So in terms of parents there are exactly 666 possible pairs of decans in which ones parents could be born.

Very interesting. While I have no idea if your conclusions are correct, I am persuaded you pointed in the right direction here.

Have you also ever observed that (1) the tribe of LEVI is centered among the circle of 12 tribes, each having the sign of their house posted at their camp, and made the connection to (2) LEVI-athan (the dragon, Draco) centered in the same way at the centerpoint of the circle of the 12 signs/houses of the Zodiac? It is far too obvious to overlook and dismiss.

I have not studied very much about astrology. There are Jewish astrologers who somehow understand astrology as a worthwhile study. As far as I know only two aspects of astrological study have been verified. Most of the claims made by astrology haven’t been proven in studies.

I didn’t mention anything about astrology. Mention of a constellation called Leviathan and the Zodiac houses as the same pattern as Levi and the 12 tribes should not lead one to assume this has anything to do with astrology.

The houses of the Zodiac originate from the astrologers, they are fundamental astrology. No other group has any interest in them.

What is the meaning of numbers 666 in the Bible?

They are the numerical representation of “Caesar Nero”

 

[rdscheirer]

666 means exactly what its meant to mean to whoever tries to interpret it- read Scott Hahn’s “The Lamb’s Supper” to find a new and awesome interpretation of John and Revelation,

The number six represents man, it also means imperfection or incompleteness .
Man was created on the sixth day , but he was created for the seventh day !

The whole point of the Book of Revelation is to give hints of the coming Advent, in a manner that would not be threatening to the tyrants of the day in which it was written. That is why things are couched in symbolism. Like parables, the seeker can try to understand them himself, but when the truly inspired One comes and speaks, as Jesus did in the synagogue, it is seen who stands and listens and who sits and mutters in His presence.

Eli is’Alí (The Host High, the Exalted) Eli is Ellijah who returned in function with John the Baptist AND 'Alí, the Báb, Who was the Fore-runner of Bahá’u’lláh, who occupies the same office as Christ, as John did Elijah’s.

The greatest proof for some is the return of the Jews, now that the time of the Gentiles is over, which was a sign given by Christ.

And they asked Him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass? And He said…they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. (Luke 21:7 & 24)
Into Haifa harbor they came…as dramatized in the movie Exodus. On the Hill of Carmel above them, the Hill of God, stood the Shrine of the Báb, the “ensign for the nations” (Isaiah 11:12) and the outcasts of Israel were gathered from the four corners of the earth.

The Jews made ‘aliyah’ --going up to Yerushalayím (Jerusalem) but we are promised a New Jerusalem, and it is not coming, it is here! It is ready for those trusting ones to enter.
He will not force you to enter the Ark of Safety. Only the loved ones will enter.You are free to dispute the authority of Bahá’u’lláh & 'Abdu’l-Bahá; but there is a growing community of people who see Their guidance as crucial for the world.

What do you suppose is the relationship between the number of the beast and Beauty?

So it s a Baha’i thing.

I hope you are not scandalized when Christians in general and Catholics in particular do not buy into your authority.

Beauty is the sixth sephirah, this is the traditional association.

 

[DavidMark]

ByzCath: The whole world can slide into apostasy, and see themselves removed, like Jews in diaspora, but the believers heart should remain firm, no matter what. Perchance, grace will enable seekers to seek.

Another prophecy related to 666, is from Revelation 9:15 and involves Byzantium

By 1453 Christianity had been separated into three great divisions: Roman Catholic, Protestant, and Greek Orthodox Catholic. When Constantinople fell to the Muslim Turks in 1453, this prophecy was fulfilled. It concerns the cutting off of one third of the believers in Christ. It foretells that from the slaying (or cutting off) of one-third of men (from the truth) there would be prepared:

‘…an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year.’ [Revelation 9:15]

When this time had elapsed, the Messiah would come; Christ would return. In 1453 the capital of the Eastern Orthodox Catholic Church fell to non-Christians, and students of prophecy took this to be a symbolic fulfillment of the one-third being cut off.
In prophetic measure, millennial scholars calculate that a ‘year’ would be 360 days, a month 30 days, and a day 1 day. The hour was discounted. This gave a total of 391 days.

Therefore, they reasoned, that using the axiom of ‘a day for a year’ the total period of time between the ‘cutting off’ and the ‘return’ of Christ would be 391 years. Constantinople fell in 1453. One-third part of the men of Christ were symbolically cut off with the fall of the centre of their faith to the Muslims.

391 years later they would be restored to truth with Christ’s return. 1453 + 391 equals 1844! (The year the Baha’i calendar begins) Another remarkable prophecy for the year 1844 from an entirely different direction. Intriguing? (From Thief in the Night, by William Sears)

 

[DavidMark]

Still another prophecy from Jesus about 1844

When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand). (Matthew 24:15)

Jesus refers to the following prophecy in Daniel: …How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed. (Daniel 8:13-14)

Another prophecy about Jesus and forgiveness involves “70 weeks” (70 X 7)

In 456-7 B.C., the Persian king Artaxerxes decreed that Jerusalem should be rebuilt. (see Ezra 7) From this date we know that “seventy weeks” of biblical years would pass until the **“cutting off” of an “anointed one” **
70 X 7 = 490, and so 490 years were prophesied in Dan. 9:24-26, until the crucifixion of Jesus, in 33 C.E…

When Jesus was asked about the time of His return, He referred us to Daniel.
This means that the 2,300 years begin at the same time as the 490 years, which would end in His crucifixion. This brings us to 1844 C.E., which was 1260 A.H. in the Muslim calendar.

Moses had warned the Israelites that God would punish them for ‘Seven times’ if they reverted to idolatry. This makes a total of 2520 years that gentiles would conquer the Jews and rule Israel. “I will chastise you seven times…” (Lev.26:28) “Let seven times pass over him.” (Daniel 4:23) Half of this period of seven “times” is the Muslim dispensation. The Jews are back; therefore, the Promised One has been in the world, like a thief in the night, and gone again.

His (Bahá’u’lláh’s) Day Ezekiel and Daniel had, moreover, both acclaimed as the “day of the Lord,” and Malachi described as “the great and dreadful day of the Lord” when “the Sun of Righteousness” will “arise, with healing in His wings,” whilst Daniel had pronounced His advent as signalizing the end of the “abomination that maketh desolate.” (Shoghi Effendi, God Passes By, p. 95)

Yes but what on earth does beauty itself have to do with the Beast?

Also, where can I find information that the numbers associated with the sixth sephirah are 6,60,600?

It was not and never will be Nero. He was a sideline in history. Islam was immensely more important. I have seen attempts to claim that the Pontiff who wears the miter is 666, and I dispute any one who says that.
But do you think that something as important as Islam would arise and not have a clue in the Bible? The Muslims try to show how Muhammad is promised, the enemies try to warn about the danger of Islam. Both views are in one chapter, Revelation 12, in which the outward power of sovereignty over the kingdoms represented by the seven horns is opposed by angelic power of Michael, who protects the Woman and Child and overthrows the “engine of despotism” which was the caliphate, which al-Qaida wants to resurrect!
You can pre-occupy yourself as much as you want with arcane explanations.
The significance of the rift between the Sunnís and the Shí’ih cannot be over-estimated.
