Do that and get back to us.

Note that the beast is portrayed as haveing a healed wound in the neck – Nero killed himself by stabbing his neck.
There was a legend in those days that Nero would come back – te legend of Nero Revividus. Many people thought the Emperor Domitian was Nero come back, because they were so alike.
Now, for Christians this would be ironic – Nero launched the first Imperial persecution of Christians, and Domitian (who was the Emperor when Revelation was written) launched the second.
The irony is continued by the image of a bad man (and a suicide) come back to life – making him the evil mirror image of Christ, or the Anti-Christ.
Where in the Bible does God say, “Okay, these commandments on the tablets you gotta follow, but the others are just suggestions?”I don’t really…consider those commandments (the “OT” commandments) “commandments”…kinda confusing??:whacky:…
‘cause God didn’t, you know, write them on the tablets of stone like he did the ones in Exodus (20). I’ve heard of them, “Mozaic Laws”, or somthin’, but are those Jewish?..and I’m not Jewish. SDAs and Jews might have somethings in common, but a lot of things they don’t. SDAs are, you know, Christians.
And you said the apostles changed Saturday to Sunday for the day of rest…you know of any biblical text to confirm that???

Obviously you don’t, if you make a distinction between the Ten Commandments and the other 603!Ok, here’s how I see it. I believe in the whole bible.
God'slil'girl:
Have you checked to see what an italicized word means in your bible?And God gave us the ten commandments, right?? And the commandment on the Sabbath says this,
REMEMBER the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shall thou labour, and do all thy work, but the SEVENTH day is (and in my bible “is” is italicized) .
Do that and get back to us.

Irenaus says, “Here John reckons according to the Greek system.” That would be the Pythoragan system. If you take the Greek version Nero’s name (NERO CAESARON) and use the Hebrew numbers, you get 666.And what (or who) do you think the “mark of the beast” is???
