There is no such scriptures. People are being deceptive because they can not accept the truth. The truth is offencieve and the lies are pleasing.David505 said:I've been told on several occassions that the number of the beast (666) is indecipherable prior to the beast's appearance; however, I can't seem to locate any scriptures to that effect. Can anyone cite such scriptures?

In the Greek and Hebrew language letters were also used for numbers. A person can discover the name of that nation, and the persons name title; both addup to 666. Perhaps these days children are no longer taught about Roman numerals.David505 said:mdo757 said:There is no such scriptures. People are being deceptive because they can not accept the truth.

Thanks mdo757,
I've also been told the eventual solution must be of Hebrew or Greek language derivation. Can anyone recall scripture supporting this assertion?

You do not know the difference between numerology and math. Study "Roman Numerals."veteran said:mdo757 said:In the Greek and Hebrew language letters were also used for numbers.

That's called Gematria, where a number value is assigned to each letter of the Hebrew alphabet, so the letters of a word add up to a total number. Certain branches of Jewish mysticism of the Kabbalah use that to try and pentrate God's secrets, not a positive thing to do. That's also how the 'Bible Codes' reasoning came about, the original authors simply chose not to mention its origin from the Kabblah of Jewish occult mysticism. Uh, that's old Mystery Babylon working, since that Kabbalah mystic system most likely originated from Babylon during Judah's 70 years captivity; it's a corruption that crept into Judah's stay long ago, and was an oral tradition among the Jewish priests until around 7th century Spain, when some of it was put down in writings.
So I'm certain the devil would love for us to use such a system as Kabbalistic Gematria to determine the 666 of Rev.13, which is sure to produce even more confusion away from God's Truth about it. That's nothing but Numerology in disguise, a working of the occult mystics among the Jews.

As far as Germatria there is the conventional and the Pagan, such as birth numbers and the Key of Death and Hell. http://www.flickr.com/photos/sacred_geometry/4401685761/ This is established by taking all the numbers given and adding to one number. Say what you want but I know for a fact that the basic number system is the mark of the beast. And if you think I'm wrong take everything you know about all those who wear it and prove to me that you can live without using numbers.
