Revelation 13:18 – DCLXVI, The Number of the Beast
Revelation 13:18 – DCLXVI, 666, The Number of the Beast
There is much symbolism in the New Testament. One example is in the infamous referral to the number of the beast. Some historians have shown a relation to Hebrew numerology and the name of Nero.
I see a multilayer of anti-Roman sentiment especially in the use of the basic Roman numeral system of representing letters for numbers to also identify the beast. "This calls for some wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is DCLXVI." - Revelation 13:18
(D = 500 + C = 100 + L = 50 + X = 10 + V = 5 + I = 1) 500+100+50+10+5+1 = 666
Of course one cannot fully discount the numerology attached to the Hebrew alphabet which would possibly have the number of the beast to be a disguised slap at the anti-Jewish, anti-Christ persona in the form of the Roman dictator Nero.
Numbers like words are symbols. They cross reference thought, sound, meaning, and visual expression but in a perhaps more precisely calculated manner. If one is looking for the deepest possible meaning to John's new "riddle of the sphinx", so to speak, one has to probe deeper.
The polyglot language of the Roman world shows us how not one, but many languages, were in use at the time. This is evidenced by examples of slightly pre-Roman artifacts such as the Rosetta Stone. Good communication meant use of many of the best words of many base languages and, or, bold interpretations of other exotic, possibly esoteric languages and communications to convey the new Christian message.
The fishermen of souls were of a varied degree of backgrounds and educations. Their message was meant to reach the greatest possible number of souls. As such, I look at the simplest and the most complicated of people of that era and can say with confidence that the Roman numeral system was known to all the commerce and economies of Ben-Zebedee's world. Beyond the beast being a real person or a real event then, now or in the future, the true number of the beast is a simple and a complicated message.
The complicated answer I leave to the domain of scholars. For me, a simple man in a very complicated modern world, I, a visually oriented person, see the promises of Satan as a large amount, whether it be tallied in money or power etc.
To the ancient world, this was a large number. If one looks at it visually and in the basic six digits of Roman numerics, it is both a large number and a descending number of 500 ranging down to one.
The only thing missing is the Hindu-Arabic concept of zero which I add to my interpretation here.
The promise of Satan and of Evil is great but the promise and reality of the promise in the end equals itself to, or is less than, zero.

National Morality Tax on Abortion – National American Identity Card – Proposed Lori/Franks Bill
(tax stamp)
The assault on Religious Freedom, Religious Liberty, Religious Safety or whatever else as it is called or might be called in the future; I propose a balancing act, a means to pay for the madness.
All this whining and paranoia in the media about the secular reality intruding with sunshine onto the dark shadow lands of superstition “I want a free lunch on the Government’s dime” religious groups, NPOs and tax free religious agenda think tanks/poll enablers, here is a compromise.
Since what these religions want is for the government to control the inmates in their own share of Bedlam turf, I propose a morality tax kickback to the government in return for their sponsorship of the envisioned (by me) Congressman Trent Franks of Arizona legislation to design and execute the new American National Identity Card.
On that proposed National Identity Card is already a designated spot for Country of Birth. Next to the spaces for RACE of yourself, your parents and your grandparents, I propose a place for one’s Religion. Actually two spots. One for Religion at Birth and one for Current Religion. This is after all necessary to divvy up this new morality tax sharing with the States.
So the next time an abortion is found out, spied on, reported by the stalking public citizen safety committees on morality, about a disloyal American citizen, a Vagina Terrorist, all assets of that individual will be confiscated and returned to the state for the costs of healthcare, incarceration for this person to be examined and also to be sterilized so that she can never have another abortion ever. Sounds reasonable. Right?
Hate the Sin. Forgive the Sinner. Prevent the future Sin (medically). Amen
It is for the woman’s own good that she never sin against the Christian god again and or the Roman Catholic Church or the Baptists god, Mormons god etc.
Now here comes the good part. Since this sinning worthless piece of shit female has found an abortion place somewhere here or Canada or Mexico, I propose a million dollar tax kickback to the government from the churches that did not teach her properly on her morality and civic duty according to her religion.
If she is both born and currently Roman Catholic, the RC church must be fined a full $ 1 million morality tax fine so in order to pay for the government and its vast bureaucracy to police American life, media and privacy looking for people attacking Roman Catholic Freedom, Liberty, Safety or whatnot.
Here is the fair part of the Proposed Lori/Franks Bill of Public Religious safety that includes the new national identity card and DNA sample. If the sinner was born a Catholic and is now a Baptist, the million dollar government fine is split between the two offending teaching institutions of morality for not indoctrinating their members properly. You’ve got to be properly taught.
It is only fair that the funding for witch hunts and making everybody else in America conform to Catholic Sharia law help defray expenses in this protecting of the Racket church business in America. But you Baptists and Mormons, don’t get paranoid about the Catholic Sharia Law thing. The country on the map will have designated Sharia Primary Law areas or turfs. Utah, Nevada and parts of California, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Idaho with be Mormon Sharia primary turf.
Baptist Sharia Law territory is all across the old Confederacy. The Catholics have the Northeast, Midwest and all other parts west are up for grabs, bid and or compromise negotiated for said disputed turf. It’s a definite Win Win for religious institutions.
With a new national flat income tax 999 (666), the churches will also be entitled to more tax breaks, a flat payout from the treasury to salaries for clerics, church building projects, schools, nursing homes, hospitals, Religiously owned or shareholder controlled Healthcare Insurance Companies and any other related church business, factories, warehouses, import-export, or banking entities.
There are those who say that the American Church businesses and rackets have got it pretty good right now and should just leave well enough alone. Why get greedy-greedier? I say - Go for it boys! All or Nothing!
