The beast in the book of revelation was Roman Emperor Nero. FINALLY, it all makes TOTAL SENSE when you insert the actual person that the book was REALLY describing.

But HECK, its no fun for the end-timers to believe its all in the past. But some folks will argue this fact with the claim that this Jesus figure hasnt returned yet so it couldnt have occured already. To such folks I suggest researching the original pure Greek wording and the true translations of the book and TRY, TRY to erase the brainwashing job by the nonsense evangelists and end-time lunatics teachings. Then it will makes sense.

OR if REALITY is not of interest, theres unfortunately the option of believing that any day now some man is going to fly down from the clouds and save a special cult of folks that have a bitter hatred towards other believes and battle those that refuse to buy into one of the most ridiculous fairy tale on the planet.

The number of his name.Really,it's that simple.
If you think you found something on it you can verify it (or debunk it) by reading the whole script.

Oceanborn's point is right.
The whole point of the Revelation reference is that everybody gets the same number.
The whole point of barcodes, RFID chips, credit card numbers, and all the other modern identification systems, is that everybody gets a different number.
They're completely different situations.

I've read a lot about the mark of the beast over the years. I am curious if, like many other things in the Bible, can references to this be found in other religions? There's numerous threads about similarities between prophecies in different religions, but never seen one relating to this particular subject.

Excellent post. When I first saw the scribbled intro text and cam I thought 'hmm another amateur presentation that will reveal nothing new' but as I watched the first video it became apparent this guy knows his stuff.

Good work OP.

Your missing the point. The number's not necessarily a number as such but a series of numbers. Look at any barcode on any product upside down. You will see the number 6 then 6 more numbers then 6 more..all products have a different number but they ALL = 666.

From what I understand 666 is 999, or represents 99.99% of Infinity, the 1010101010...binary code of the Univers/School, and is actually the bloodlines, and the puppet masters behind them, who have attempted with their matrix to cube the infinite circle and create a hyperdimensional cube, soul trap, trying to make finite the infinite so they can be masters of their own illusion.

Barcode has 666 on top of the individual number. So the two (individual number and the beast number) are not mutually exclusive.
