The 'Date of the Beast' Approacheth

By , About.com GuideMay 3, 2006

Follow me on:

Some folks are girding their loins in anticipation of the sixth of June — 6-6-06 — a date they regard as the calendrical equivalent of 666, the Biblical "Number of the Beast." One Bible prophecy Web site predicts the outbreak of a holy war against Israel. Another says a comet may strike the earth. Short of Armageddon, authorities worry that the date may spark violence by fringe groups. Will 6-6-06 turn out to be a "date from hell," as some fear, or a resounding dud like the much-dreaded turn of the millennium in 2000?  Discuss...

A recent documentary on the National Geographic channel about the Book of Revelations discussed how ‘666′ is an ancient Hebrew numeralogical code that when translated means “Caesar Nero”, the Roman emperor whom was persecuting Christians at the time the Book of Revelations was written. He apparently was quite a beast towards the Christians of the time, but as for 6/6/06, I’m not worried.

There was a 6-6-06 back 100 years ago and nothing happened. Why should this 100 years be any different than the last 20?

It’s all in our heads. Just because there’s 3 6’s in a date means nothing. If you look at the number it’s really 662006. The number their looking at is abreviated. Nothing is going to happen…Unless you’re really a pessimist and you just create your own bad luck dayly.

Lest We Forget,June 6 Is Also The 61st Anniversary of The DDay Invasion.Seems to me that we all need to stop all this silly worrying over the “Mark of the Beast”and pay tribute to all the American Servicemen past and present who served our Country with Honor and Dignity and in some cases made the supreme sacrifice.FYI:In 1944,had the(So Called)”Reverend”Fred Phelps had been leading his band of “Gospel Slingers”spewing their particularly ugly brand of venom comparing our brave Servicemen and Women to Gays and Lesbians at their Funerals,chances are they would have joined the dearly departed as well!!

(15) Sarah says:

As someone else has mentioned, 666 (or 616) was a code that stood for the name of one of the nastier, more meglomanically minded Ancient Roman emperors. Either that, or god loves this generation so much he has taken a prophesy written in a time when the thinking process was totally different, along with the way of calculating time, and made it relavant to today’s Christian calender. Like the year 2000 was meant to be the Christian Millenium that ushered in The End. Guess which I reckon is true!

As far as the content of the upcoming movie “The Beast – 6/6/06″ with its virulent Anti-Christian, Blasphemous and Sacrilegious message; I have already been Biblically and Historically forewarned since THE FIRST CENTURY A.D.:

“1 NOW THE (HOLY) SPIRIT SPEAKETH EXPRESSLY, THAT IN THE LATTER (MODERN) TIMES SOME SHALL DEPART FROM THE FAITH (THE TRUTH), GIVING HEED TO SEDUCING SPIRITS AND DOCTRINES OF DEVILS;
2 SPEAKING LIES IN HYPOCRISY; HAVING THEIR CONSCIENCE SEARED (BURNED) WITH A HOT IRON;. . .”

THE FIRST EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO TIMOTHY; CHAPTER 4, VERSES 1 & 2.

“1 THIS KNOW ALSO, THAT IN THE LAST DAYS (BEFORE CHRIST’S 2ND ADVENT) PERILOUS TIMES SHALL COME.
2 FOR MEN SHALL BE LOVERS OF THEIR OWN SELVES (AS IN SODOMITE/SAME-SEX UNIONS/MARRIAGES), COVETOUS, BOASTERS, PROUD, BLASPHEMERS (AS IN “The Beast/6-6-06″ MOVIE), DISOBEDIENT TO PARENTS, UNTHANKFUL, UNHOLY,
3 WITHOUT NATURAL AFFECTIONS (THAT IS, VILE AFFECTIONS AS PER VERSE #1), TRUCEBREAKERS, FALSE ACCUSERS, INCONTINENT, FIERCE, DESPISERS OF THOSE THAT ARE GOOD,
4 TRAITORS, HEADY, HIGHMINDED, LOVERS OF (PERVERTED-SEXUAL) PLEASURES MORE THAN LOVERS OF GOD;
5 HAVING A FORM OF GODLINESS (TRUE/PURE RELIGION), BUT DENYING THE POWER THEREOF: FROM SUCH TURN AWAY.”

THE SECOND EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO TIMOTHY; CHAPTER 3, VERSES 1 THRU 5.

THE 66 BOOKS OF THE HISTORIC AUTHORIZED BIBLICAL, ORTHODOX, HOLY JUDEO-CHRISTIAN SCRIPTURES; THAT IS, THE AUTHORIZED HOLY BIBLE, IS STILL MORE CURRENT THAN TOMORROW’S NEWSPAPERS WHEN IT COMES TO THE GENERAL PHILOSOPHIES, IDEAS, FOLLIES & AFFAIRS OF MEN:

“EVER LEARNING AND NEVER ABLE TO COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH. . .

BUT EVIL MEN AND SEDUCERS SHALL WAX WORSE AND WORSE, DECEIVING, AND BEING DECEIVED. . .” 2nd TIMOTHY 3:7 & 13.

I AM THANKFUL THAT I, ANTHONY J. “TONY” LOPEZ-CISNEROS, “FROM A CHILD. . . HAST KNOWN THE HOLY SCRIPTURES, WHICH ARE ABLE TO MAKE THEE WISE UNTO SALVATION THROUGH FAITH WHICH IS IN CHRIST JESUS.

ALL SCRIPTURE IS GIVEN BY INSPIRATION OF GOD, AND IS PROFITABLE FOR DOCTRINE, FOR REPROOF, FOR CORRECTION, FOR INSTRUCTION IN RIGHTEOUSNESS:

THAT THE MAN OF GOD MAY BE PERFECT, THROUGHLY FURNISHED UNTO ALL GOOD WORKS.” 2nd TIMOTHY 3: 15-17

As everyone knows, the 6th letter of the ancient Hebew alphabet was “W”, meaning that 666 = WWW, the World Wide Web is the “Beast.”

So, when running the Web on a 666MHz processor, you automatically start an “Armageddon” process that will trigger the end of the world — or a computer virus. One of those two.

Or is it that 666F is the perfect roasting temperature for Roast Beast?

No, I recall, you shouldn’t drink the diet version of 666UP soda.

Or was it that 6*6*6= a Beastly number?

All will be revealed in the forthcoming book “Me and the Beast” due in booksellers and on DVD this Fall, if we get past June 6th.

Wow, people. There’s a big difference between 6 and 2006, something like two-thousand numbers. Maybe on June 6th, 6 we could’ve worried, but I see no reason for this.
