The apocalypse is the description of a vision the writer had, some believe under the influence of hallucinogenic drug called Wormwood. I do not take the writings of drug addicts as anything else than a sad joke. I wouldn't look for to much meaning into it.

Woohoo Absinthe!

Wait when was the thing written? Highly doubt they had Abisnthe back then LOL but still wormwood nonetheless. Which was also apparently drunken by Oscar Wilde, Picasso and Vangough. Made them hillucinate and get all creative and whatnot. So if he had wormwood, that writing would probably most likely be utter rubbish. (not saying Picasso's paintings are rubbish).

I had some on the weekend, but since it was made illegal, it now has real low amounts of wormwood in it, if any at all. Still 85% proof hits you like a flippin hammer.

sorry that was completely off topic. Im not sure why people bash the whole 666 thing. who knows it may be a bunch of crap... but the massively huge number of coincidences of where this number turns up shouldnt be entirely ignored... lol
