It also lends justification to our referring to these things as SLAGS, as the meaning seems to be inferred from the Greek.
Since we're talking about this, here's some interesting 666 facts :-)
Here's something from the old Roman numerals, which only used 6 characters (with M appearing to be merely two D's). Pardon my ASCII graphics (I hope they turn out okay).
1. D = 500 \ | 600 \ 2. C = 100 / | | 3. L = 50 \ | | 60 | 666 4. X = 10 / | | 5. V = 5 \ | | 6 / 6. I = 1 /
Some other facts about the number 666:
The Assyrian Empire existed 666-years before Babylon conqured it.
Jerusalem was trodden down by Rome for 666-years; between the battle of Actium, BC 31, to the Saracen conquest in AD 636.
There are three men who stand out as avowed enemies of God:
1) Goliath: 6 pieces of armor, 6-cubits in height, spearhead weighed 600 sheckels of iron;
2) Nebuchadnezzar: Image 60-cubits high, 6 cubits broad, worship music came from 6 specific instruments.
3) Antichrist, whose number is 666.
The first has one six, connected to the pride of fleshly might; the second, two sixes connected with the pride of absolute dominion; the third, three sixes, connected with the pride of Satanic guidence.
Solomon received 666 talents of gold yearly, but he considered vanity and vexation of spirit.
The children of Adonikam who returned from capitivity were numbered 666. Adonikam means lord of the enemy.
The number 666 is the concentration and essence of 6. It is the sum of all the numbers which make up the square of 6.
The square of six is 36 (62, or 6X6), and the sum of the numbers 1 to 36=666.
I know it doesn't have a lot to do with the biochip SLAG, but it does indicate that there's definite significance associated with the number, and it is never something good.
Whatever the endgame actually turns out like, it is clear that this is an Apostste generation; moreso than any other in history. Christanity has been opposed and corrupted in the past, but today, it's being burlesqued. There's not much left but judgement. Satan is ready to build his false religion, the great apostacy, upon the ruins of true Christianity, which will prepare the way for the Second Coming.
One way or another, interesting times are upon us.
Isn't this good news?
I think we can rest assured knowing that the government would never abuse this technology.
We should all be happy knowing that there are people in positions of authority who are willing to look after our security needs.
