| 666 = Stigma Stigma Stigma
This webpage will not print the Greek letter sigma. This webpage will render only a ? for greek letters which is why you see ? below instead of a greek letter. Therefore & is substituted for sigma which looks sort of like a 6, or looks like an elongated S shrunken on the bottom and stretched at the top. Website links below show sigma. Other people before me seem to have also noticed that SSS equals 666. As time goes by, people go to and fro, knowledge is increased, and matters sealed until the time of the end are revealed, the 666 number seems more and more to be the SSS number. The Greek letter & (pronunced stigma) is related to the numeral 6. SSS in Greek is &&& - stigma, stigma, stigma - or sigma sigma sigma. The book of Revelations was written in Greek. Now 666 in Greek can be written as &&&.’ An apostrophe like mark after the stigma &’ indicates that it is the number 6 instead of the letter stigma of the Greek alphabet. The little apostrophe like mark after a character, tick mark, is how the Greeks distinguished numbers from letters as you can see at the following website among others: Greek Numerals Greek Stigma entry Greek Alphabet and Numbers www.news-server.org/g/gr/greek_alphabet.html The Greek letter alpha ? matches the letter A of the English alphabet. The letter beta ß of the Greek alphabet mactches the letter B of the English alphabet. The word alphabet comes from Alpha beta which are the first 2 letters of the Greek ABCs. The Greek letter Stigma ? matches the letter S of the English alphabet. The website above tells how the Greeks represented numbers by letters of their alphabet followed with a tick mark. ie ? = stigma, ?' = 6. Using the search terms +“Social Security System” +SSS in a google search of the internet gives over 10,000 matches. Some of the matches are to http://www.ssa.gov/ which is the US government social security site. You can click the link below to see the 10,000 plus matches: Google search "Social Security System" SSS If you have ever tried to open a bank account, get a job, get a credit card, or conduct business you know that the SSS number is necessary. The SSN is the number needed to buy and sell just as prophesied at Revelation 13:17 - no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. Revelations 15:2 tells of those who will overcome the beast and the number of the name. => Several months after first writing this message I discovered the following information between the dashed lines below from Number in Scripture written by E. W. Bullinger (1837-1913) who died about 20 years before the Social Security System SSS came into existence: ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ This letter ? (called Stigma) is used for the number 6. Why this letter and number should be thus associated we cannot tell, except that both are intimately connected with the ancient Egyptian "mysteries." The three letters SSS (in Greek ???) were the symbol of Isis, which is thus connected with 666. http://philologos.org/__eb-nis/chap03.htm#49 666 was the secret symbol of the ancient pagan mysteries connected with the worship of the Devil. It is to day the secret connecting link between those ancient mysteries and their modern revival in Spiritualism, Theosophy, etc. The efforts of the great enemy are now directed towards uniting all into one great whole. The newspapers, worldly and religious, are full of schemes as to such a union. "Reunion" is in the air. The societies for the re-union of Christendom, and the Conferences for the re-union of the Churches, are alike parts of the same great movement, and are all making for and are signs of the coming Apostasy. During this age, "Separation" is God's word for His people, and is the mark of Christ; while "union" and "re-union" is the mark of Antichrist. The number 6 was stamped on the old mysteries. The great secret symbol consisted of the three letters SSS, because the letter S in the Greek alphabet was the symbol of the figure 6 (see page 49). a = 1, b = 2, g = 3, d = 4, e = 5, but when it came to 6, another letter was introduced! Not the next—the sixth letter (z, zeta)—but a different letter, a peculiar form of S, called "stigma" (V). Now the word stigma (stigma), means a mark, but especially a mark made by a brand as burnt upon slaves, cattle, or soldiers, by their owners or masters; or on devotees who thus branded themselves as belonging to their gods. It is from stizw, stizo, to prick, or brand with a hot iron. Hence it came to be used of scars or wound-prints, and it is thus used by Paul of his scars, which he regarded as the tokens of his sufferings, the marks which he bore on his body for the sake of his Lord and Master, and marking him as belonging to the one who had bought him (Gal 6:17). http://philologos.org/__eb-nis/13666.htm#666 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ => E. W. Bullinger apparently devoted much rigorous study to numbers and figures of speech found in the bible. There is much more information about numbers in scripture and their meaning at the web site above. Daniel 7:17 and Revelation 16:10 give clues about what the mark of the beast is. These verses show that beast means kingdom: Dan. 7:17 www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=34&chapter=7&verse=17&version=31&context=verse The four great beasts are four kingdoms that will rise from the earth. Rev. 16:10 www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=73&chapter=16&verse=10&version=31&context=verse The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom was plunged into darkness. => The verses above show that beast represents kingdom. A kingdom is a nation governed by its top official and his subordinates. It is the area controlled by the nation's government. Therefore the mark of the beast is the mark of the nation's government. Now with what do the nation's governments mark their citizens ? What must an immigrant accept to become a naturalized citizen ? The answer is the 666 number, the SSS number, the Social Security System number. The USA is by no means the only nation using SSS. In fact, the SSS did not originate in the US. There are about 192 nations that use a social security system number at last count. The SSS covers practically all people of all nations. Exodus 13:9 www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=2&chapter=13&verse=9&version=51&context=verse This annual festival will be a visible reminder to you, like a mark branded on your hands or your forehead. Let it remind you always to keep the LORD's instructions in your minds and on your lips. Revelation 13:16 www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=73&chapter=13&verse=16&version=51&context=verse He required everyone great and small, rich and poor, slave and free to be given a mark on the right hand or on the forehead. => The mark of the beast being on the forehead seems to mean the SSS number being memorized in the forehead. The right hand is used to handle a debit card, write a check, use a credit card, and conduct business. The bank or credit card company issuing the credit card or handling the check must have your 666 number (SSS number) before they issue a card to you, let you open a bank account, write checks, or do business with them. Similarly, you cannot be hired into a job without providing your SSS number to the employer. Buying, selling, employment, doing business, or obtaining money is difficult or impossible without the 666 number; see Revelation 13:17 - www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2013:17;&version=31 no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. => Rev 13:17 tells us the mark can be either of two things: 1 - The mark can be the name of the beast. 2 - The mark can be the number of his name. The mark is the unit of currency in Germany, but is being replaced by the Euro. Until relatively recent times monetary value was measured by weight of gold or silver. In the time Daniel or Revelations was written, paper money was unknown. Today each government authorizes and approves its own paper currency. The currency has the name of the nation printed on it, therefore the money has the name of the beast printed on it because beast means nation or kingdom as verses above show. Currency is often used instead of credit cards or checks to buy and sell. The buyer and seller typically handle the currency with their right hand and in doing so they have the mark of the beast in their right hand. The SSS number is necessary to get a job, open a bank account, get a credit card, receive social security payments, and such things that precede getting our hands on any cash. Therefore, the SSS/666 number is closely connected with money, buying, and selling. The bible has many warnings against money and riches and it appears the end time is a time to be especially wary of money. Revelation 13:18 www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2013:18;&version=31 ...it is man's number. His number is 666. => SSS in the English alphabet matches ??? in the Greek alphabet and Revelations was written in Greek. ? is pronounced as either Stigma or Sigma. Stigma also means a bad mark, scar, or blemish which is undesirable or disgraceful. So, 666 can also translate from the original Greek as SSS or Stigma, Stigma, Stigma or bad mark, bad mark, bad mark. The SSS number fits the criteria of the 666 number and the mark of the beast described in the Bible. Rev 15:2 says some will overcome the beast and the number of his name. Would like to hear ideas on how to overcome. Note - This webpage would not print the greek letter sigma. Greek letters turn into question marks at this website. Therefore & has been substituted for the sigma character. |
