MTV News Story

[the_raven_1313]

I do not know how reliable MTV news sorces are and I do not know where they got there information but this was interesting to read:

Legions of metalheads who've saluted "the number of the beast" may need to subtract 50 from the numeral that adorns their notebook doodlings, T-shirts and tattoos.

A newly discovered fragment of the Book of Revelation challenges the conventional belief that the Antichrist's mark is 666, indicating instead that it is 616. Expert classicists used multi-spectral imaging to get a better view of the text, which is written in archaic Greek and dates to the late third century.

"It is clearly an important new manuscript, giving us a relatively very early copy of the text of Revelation," said Christopher Tuckett, a theology professor at Oxford University's Pembroke College. "It is probably not the earliest manuscript of Revelation that we have ... but this is the first time [the 616 reading] has been found in such an early text."

Fear of 666 is so extensive it actually has a name

666 isn't the only indicator that points to the beast.

There's the " mark ", the name of the beast, and of course the number of his name.

Whether this is true or not, ( the MTV story ) only time will tell. I wouldn't give it much thought.

I quit chasing shadows many years ago.

I would not listen to or believe an ounce of what MTV preaches.

I have MTV blocked from my channel lineup so I never even am aware of its existence. It is a terrible channel full of corruption.

Not all of it is. Most of it is but some of it is informational.

You mean infomercial.

I remember watching a documentary on MTV where the owners and operators of MTV said "everything is a commercial. Every show, every skit."

They are constantly selling something to the younger generation. And, that something is sex, sex, sex, sex, and sex... with some disrespect thrown in.

Seems it was in May it was announced.

I found it on the net earlier. I didn't realise though that it was reported that long ago.

The scripture cannot be broken. Joh 10:35

God promised to preserve his word. We have it in the A.V. Psalms 12:7

The golden image Nebuchadnezzar set up was sixty cubits in height, and its breadth was six cubits. Goliath, a type of enemy of God's people (Satan), had a height of six cubits had six pieces of armor and a spear head weighing six hundred shekels. Solomon's gold in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents 1Ki 10:14. And of course, everybody knows, the mark of the beast is 666.

So you can bet your bottom dollar that the mark of the beast is 666, not 616. This change is just a device of the devil, and We are not ignorant of his devices.

"Yea, hath God said?"
