The Mark of the Least?

Anyone see Gregory Peck wandering around today with a weird looking little kid?

According to Rapture Ready, the REAL date is 616! We can sit here and wait.

According to biblical scholars, the reference to 666 in Revelation may well have been based on the contemporary use of numerology to denote names. 666 (or 616, whichever you prefer) is thought to denote the Emperor Nero. Seems the old pyro was brutally persecuting Christians when Revelations was written. Look it up.

BetUS took over 200 bets that the world would end today. Of course they had a plan to pay off the Yes's. Come rain, sleet, rivers of fire...

The relevant passage: Revelation 13: 16-18:
He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads,

and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.

Maybe that mark isn't a wart on my right hand!
