"From that time many of his disciples, went back and walked no more with Him", (John 6:66).....(666 ?)

And, I believe that this is the same Apostle John, who wrote about the 'Mark of the Beast', in Revelation 13.
 
You do realize that John didn't write his Gospel complete with chapter and verse numbers? In fact, the first Bible divided this way was the Geneva Bible in 1560. Analysis like this is about as valid as astrology.

While the surface appears 'accidental', as the 'mark of the beast' becomes more prominent, there will be a transition for people who are not covered with the bood of Christ, and many will draw back, and walk no more with Him.

  • In a previous verse -- John 6:53 Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves." verse 60 "This is a difficult statement; who can listen to it?" NASU
Understanding the spiritual context of the verses in this chapter, deepens the understanding of the 'mark of the beast' -- spiritually, even if there is no direct reference.

what about the other 6:66 chapters in the Bible.

There is only one other one in the bible and it is in 1 Chr.

  • 1 Chr. 6:66. Now some of the families of the sons of Kohath were given cities as their territory from the tribe of Ephraim.

Now what this verse has to do with what every Jay T is trying to imply with John 6:66, I have no idea.

And I am not so sure John saw the number 666 like we see it, he may have seen it like the roman numeral DCLXVI.....or Greek
Greek%20numeral
if you can't see this here is the link scroll down to the letter value chart. (sorry I am having trouble with my computer and all I see is a red X )

Based on Revelation 13:16-17 and 14:9, there will be three lines of identification: a mark, a name or a number. Most attention has been focused on the number of his name, which is 666. Most fail to appreciate the fact that 666 is an English number. The Bible was not written in English. The book of Revelation is a Greek document. This demands a Greek numbering scheme. So whatever John saw was certainly not the English number 666.

Center of the Bible
This is pretty strange or odd how it worked out this way. Even if you

are not religious you should read this.

What is the shortest chapter in the Bible? Answer - Psalms 117

What is the longest chapter in the Bible? Answer - Psalms 119

Which chapter is in the center of the Bible? Answer - Psalms 118

Fact: There are 594 chapters before Psalms 118

Fact: There are 594 chapters after Psalms 118

Add these numbers up and you get 1188

What is the center verse in the Bible? Answer - Psalms 118:8

Does this verse say something significant about God's perfect will for our lives? The next time someone says they would like to find God's perfect will for their lives and that they want to be in the center of His will, just send them to the center of His Word!

Psalms 118:8 (NKJV) "It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man."

Now isn't that odd how this worked out (or was God in the center of it)?

Thanks Jay T -- now, it will be easier to remember John 6:66,
the shortest & longest chapters and the center of the Bible!

With you -- I think God is 'in the center' -- the beginning and the end too!!

Yes, it is just as meaningless as astrology. Especially since these 'facts' are incorrect and used only to mislead people into thinking there is a special pattern. Psalms 117 is the center chapter of the Bible, not Psalms 118. At least that 'fact' was only one chapter off. The central verse of the Bible isn't even close to Psalms 118:8. In fact, since there are an even number of verses, there isn't even one in the middle. But the two central ones are Psalms 103:1-2.

So yes, when you make up lies about the Bible you can make it seem like there are significant numeric patterns. And no, God has nothing to do with such fabricated patterns.

I guess it all has to do with what translation you use too. Versions like NIV, NASB, etc. omit some verses which would throw the whole numerology thing out of whack. Plus, if you are using a NAB, you have all those extra books... :o
 
Different translations might have different numbers of verses, but I've seen that false spam of Jay T's before, and I know that is supposedly based on the KJV. The corrections I have made also apply to the KJV.
 
8-) I'm still learning,as I am sure we all are,so please don't
think I'm stating these things are a fact,o.k?
I was trying to understand what 666 meant to at one time.
I read some interesting thing about King Solomon. Also the tax
was 666 that he charged the people,wasn't it? I may have to look
again. But the name Solomon is interesting. It's alot like solo + man,
or one man. Also, solo + Mon, simular to one monetary exchange,or
one money or currency.
Also,I'll have to re-check it to make sure,but I believe it's the Hebrew
numerology that I came up with 666 and the hebrew alphabet that
were added to it to make 666 were xof. backwards it
spells fox. The hebrew people read their words that way I'm told.I don't know if it means anything or not though,and I'll need to look into it again,
but it was kind of strange to me.
I think the numbers and letters were hebrew,but not sure at this time.
Also the demintions of the Piramid shape is suppose to add up to 666
some people claim.
Have you all seen what is written on the one dollar bill ?
It has a piramid and the symbol for the all seeing eye,and the words
"New World Order" written in latin.
King Solomon began to also worship false gods/goddesses because of
his many strange wives as you all probably know. I wonder if there is
any connection to him and the end times 666?
 
:B-fly: P.S. also the first part of Solomon's name,Sol means
Sun,right? The pagans were heavily involved in sun god worship.

Not really. "The weight of gold that came to Solomon yearly was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold, besides that from the traveling merchants, from the income of traders, from all the kings of Arabia, and from the governors of the country" So, no 666 isn't what he charged, it is a fraction of the total amount of gold he received in one year. Just a number
But the name Solomon is interesting. It's alot like solo + man,

These are coincidences. Solomon is not the king's name. His name is Hebrew, and Solomon is just one possible way to translate the Hebrew into English. It is translated as Shelomoh in my roommate's English/Hebrew Tenakh. It can also be translated as Shlomo, Shlomoh, Sh’lomoh, or Shelomoh. Solomon's name does not come from the word solo or sol, it's just a coincidence of this particular transliteration.

Such numerology is part of the Kabbalah, which is a false Jewish mysticism religion that ignores the plain meaning of Scripture and attempts to find hidden and mystical meanings. It's not meaningful and I would stay away from it.

What is a demintion?

Actually, it translates as "A new order of the ages."

I'm going to have to say no on this one. I could be wrong, but there's nothing in the Bible to substatiate any connection between Solomon and the end times.

Have you thought about which Bible you use, that makes this a reality or not ?

It could be the only way, to identify God's true word.
 
I challenge you to provide me with the name of a Bible version where your 'facts' are correct. Truly, I want to be enlightened and use the correct version.
 
cubedbee/Also the demintions of the Piramid shape is suppose to add up to 666

:Fade-color The size of a piramid from the top to the bottom and
the middle.

of this word.
