Why does the beast have a number? number of what?

 

Hello! In many (eastern) cultures letters of alphabet have numeric values as well. You can calculate the numeric value of Your name too. Mine is 11 according to (one of the approaches) of numerology.

 

There are different interpretations of the meaning of "number of the first beast that cometh from the sea" as well. The net is full of these spooky things.

someones been watching QI msp_flapper.gif

 

Some early christian manuscripts state "616" - but it's not clear whether the handwritten characters are wrong or misinterpreted, or the New Testament adopted a wrong view.

Congrats on an impressive amount of useful / informative and/or funny posts, Searcy!

 

I know they don't REALLY mean anything but it's a good indication of how helpful etc your input has been.

 

I'll probably make you the 'Neighbour of the Beast' by giving you another one...

 

And who would have thought an Iron Maiden song would have made it to a Highbrow program such as QI ?

Anyhow...

 

"...the number 666 in Roman notation is DCLXVI; which is interesting, because it consists of one each of the number letters in descending order.

(this could give us) a descriptive phrase in Latin, using the initial letters, to point to an individual person as 'the beast', such as;

"Domitius Caesar Legatos Xti Violenter Interfecit"

 

"Domitius Caesar violently killed the envoys of Christ." (note that Domitius was the former name of the Emperor Nero).

 

I copied this pile of errant nonsense from the web, BTW....

 

Therefore it goes without saying that it is true.

 

666%.

Iron Maiden didnt make it into the show. They basically just used the klaxon for 666 and said it was 616. Although I tried looking for the clip on google to refresh my memory and loads of viewers have on the QI forum said they dont think its fair
