The Number of the Beast!

Came across this item online this afternoon.
"Louisiana Town Ditches 666 Area Code Over Religious Concerns"
"What happens when you combine a strongly religious community in the south and the unfortunate telephone area code of 666? Hilarity ensues, of course! Ok, maybe not too much hilarity, but some."

I had to chuckle about it, of course. I would ALMOST be willing to pay to have that area code. I certainly wouldn't want to get rid of it if it were assigned.

Anyway, according to Heinlein the number "666" is a mistranslation. The actual number is 6^6^6 (6 to the sixth power to the sixth power, or 6 raised to the 46656th power - a truly phenomenal number) and represents the number of possible universes. (The Number of the Beast by Robert Heinlein.)

I've got to say this post made me smile and like you Thorne, I had to chuckle.

Numerogically speaking 6 relates to harmony and some numeroligists give it that title. Three sixesto me = triple harmony so I wouldn't have a problem with it, also 3 x 6 = 18, 1 + 8 = 9 which is completion. Again a number I wouldn't mind having associated with my town or county or even myself.

After all being a complete person is what I am hoping to achieve this life time - obviously bible numerology or gematria is different and means different things. And I'm not interested in debating the whole antichrist and end time fundamentalist myth used to enslave unsuspecting and vunerable seekers out there.

I will add in case that last comment offended anyone out there. You are entitled to your beliefs and I fully support your right to believe what you want. If you are concerned for me please say a prayer for me I can use all the positive energy I can get wherever it comes from. *smile*
