"Like a Thief in the Night"

The word rendered “count” can also be translated “reckon” or “decide”; the choice “count” being influenced by the perception that chi xi sigma was to be understood as a number.

The word translated “number” is also legitimately translated “multitude”; as in many in reference to peoples or nations. Again, thinking chi xi sigma was supposed to be a number would influence the choice.

If, instead of 666 we read “in the name of Allah” and choose the other translations of “count” and “number” accordingly, we get a reading of Revelation 13:18 that’s more like this:

Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding reckon the multitude of the beast: for it is the multitude of a man; and his multitude is “in the name of Allah.”

A modern translation might read

Here is wisdom. Let whoever has understanding reckon [or recognize] the beast’s multitude: for it is a man’s multitude; and his multitude is “in the name of Allah.”

Again, I will be clear: I’m not saying this is The Solution to this puzzlement, but it’s certainly an exploration worth consideration.

That’s a very interesting line of reasoning and worthy of tucking on the mental back shelf for future reference.

When I hear something new like that, I do not commit either way. I just wait and see whether it shows any indication of being accurate.

Which 4 films are you refering to?

[HKMk23]

Yes. That’s a great approach; put it on a mental shelf out of the way, but accessible if new information arrives.

I’m reminded of Arsenio Hall:
“Things That Make Ya Go ‘Hmmmmm.’”

Good luck to you, SaveFerris!

BTW, you have the best screen name ever. :)

Choose wisely, read for yourself and don't rely on others to interpret the Bible for you.

And yet there's a vast temple of merchandise "helping" the folks interpret and believe that that they came up with the "real truth" on their own.

Everyone can then settle into his or her settled doctrines and words from favorite preachers because then it's surely those "other people" who are wrong.

That's the fruit of Establishment Jesus, the fake man-made man-god Jesus that the Jesus of the Bible warned everybody about.

If the Son of David believed the settled doctrines, he'd never recognize himself.

He's the Maverick solution to the dysfunctional status quo, so getting "the treatment" goes with the assignment.

Many prophets were killed by being redefined out of existence. David had big big plans for the musicians and singers.

Roaming about the hollow halls of the house of merchandise, no prophet would find a soulmate:

I'm as sad as a bird that can't sing
I'm lonely as a bell that can't ring
I'm blue as the sky up above
I'm just someone with no one to love
No one no one
I'm just someone with no one to love

I'm as sad as a leaf in the wind
I'm lonely as a man with no friend
I'm cold as a hand with no glove
I'm just someone with no one to love
No one no one
I'm just someone with no one to love
I'm just someone with no one to love

Someone With No One to Love

"I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away."

~ Elijah

I’ve heard talk that there is another “Left Behind” movie or series coming out. I subscribe to Pureflix and while I enjoy it, I wish there were more prophecy movies.

I've always liked dystopian movies. Rapture and Tribulation fit the bill. Movies are just entertainment of course and even the most well meaning ones are apt to have error, unlike the Bible.

Kirk Cameron's Left Behind series. All three in HD on this channel.

I've never read any of the novels but it looks like a bunch of movies could be made based on them.

Thanks Brother SaveFerris. I appreciate the compilation of the movies.

Whats your opinion of the movie “Years of the Beast” if you have seen it?

[Redcitizen]

Have a Christian hug from me. Sorry I cant deliver in person. :) Endure to the end and be sure to rest a bit as possible. Good to hear you are doing well in spite of lifes busyness.

regards FRiend.

[SaveFerris]

Saw one that didn’t seem as good. Pretty much liked the first two IIRC

That may have been all I saw maybe part of a 3rd one

Those images from one of the movies are spot-on (images upthread)

[SaveFerris]

Thank you and God bless you brother (? - it’s hard for me to keep up with who is who these days)
