??? is the Unlisted Number of the Beast
611 is the Information Number of the Beast

I thought all Gamecock fans were in agreement that Brad Scott is the Antichrist.

John, the son of Jesus.

If that's what you want to believe, that's up to you.

If not he certainly is one of the Anti-Christ’s minions.

Very thought provoking and Lord knows we all need to be thinking at this time.
Speaking of thinking, there is a website http://www.ellisskolfield.com/ where you can download The False Prophet for free. I strongly suggest this book as it is a different take on these end times. The book connect the False Prophet with the Muslims and Mohamed. A must read if you are into prophecy.

Seems like all the seals and trumpets mentioned in Revelation - in which a third of the earth’s population dies here and a third there, and the oceans and fresh water becoming spoiled, as well as widespread famine and pestilenc - all of these seem to have yet to come to pass.

I can’t think of a time in history in which a third of the earth’s population was wiped out.

But I’m open to hearing the interpretation, if I’m incorrect. Thanks.

“About the time of the end, a body of men will be raised up, who will turn their attention to the prophecies, in the midst of much clamor and opposition.” - Sir Isaac Newton

Interesting fantasies about history.

Not overly helpful in preparing folks for dealing with present realities regarding literal fulfillment of the

MARK OF THE BEAST prophecies.

If gullible folks are lulled into accepting the mark and end up in hell thereby, I wonder how the author will feel, then.

was that before, or right after the seas turned to blood, the stars fell form the sky and 2/3 of mankind was wiped from the earth?

The hisotry channe, is kinda vague about when those things happened in the past

The events foretold in Daniel, the NT, and Revelation were completed in A.D. 70.

To bring those prophecies into the modern day is completely incorrect theology

Confidently stated, but untrue. Only 69 of Daniels 70 weeks of years have passed. We still have one week of years (7 Years) left in Daniels prophecy.

My personal opinion is that the lead article misses the "mark", pun intended. While it is true that Revelation was written to encourage Christians undergoing persecution in the first century fulfilling it in part, there appears to be a duality to it, just like in Daniel. The book wasn't even available to ordinary Christians until Luther's time. So those early Christians certainly wouldn't have had their own individual copies of it, but it would have been available on a limited basis and perhaps read to them in church or underground. It clearly says those who read the book will receive a blessing. How many even read it then?

Revelation tells us it contains prophecies. So to those who say the prophecy(ies) were completely fullfilled in the first century by likening it to marks on slaves I believe are wrong to their possible spiritual peril, also those who claim the mark is Sunday worship rather than Saturday worship. Some will say it is a mark placed supernaturally on one's forehead for fidelity. Others will tell you that it is your mental process and correct belief. While there may be some merit in such arguments, they are incomplete.

The entire prophecy was not fulfilled in the first century because (1) it wasn't universal to the whole world as we now know it, and (2) no marks were required universally for buying and selling. How can that possibly be reduced to allegory? Some would argue "spiritual" buying and selling, but I don't buy it in this particular application although I concede that it was used allegorically in other books of the NT by Our Lord Himself in another context.

The rudimentary structure of the beast system is upon us now in developed countries and has been evolving for some years imo. It has merely to be refined, universally integrated and will enslave those in the entire world who are living when it comes to complete fruition if they don't understand what it means and hearken to the warning.

Admittedly I don't understand all of it nor do I believe I'm meant to. Footnotes in my Douay Rheims Catholic bible say it has all been fulfilled, but there are a small minority of Catholics who believe it essentially as I have outlined even though the church is silent about it which does make me wonder why. I've got books by two Catholic priests, one bearing an imprimatur, that liken it to our times. The appendix in the other one noted development of the system at the time of publication, can dig out the titles if anyone is interested.
