Because I've got to get back to work, of course,
-
but a very good question. What is the measure of
-
a man? So, Revelation chapter 13, of course, the last
Revelation 13 chapter mention
-
three verses, verses 16 through 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 he
-
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. If that's all that you know about the
-
number of a man, well, you don't know the whole story.
-
The answer is given in Revelation chapter 21, verse 17.
-
I quote, Then he measured the wall 144 cubits according
-
to the measure of a man. that is, of an angel. Okay,
-
let's really digest what that just said. It just said
-
the measure of a man was the measure of an angel.
-
This is why when Gabriel showed up and talked to,
-
let's say, Mary or or Zacharias, or whoever else, they
-
have the appearance of a man. So this goes beyond,
-
this goes the next level to the 666, okay? Goes
-
to the next level. Let me read it for you again, okay?
-
Then he measured its wall 144 cubits according to the
-
measure of a man, that is, of an angel. So
-
when you put this together with what was said in
-
Revelation chapter 13, verses 16 through 18, it nips in
-
the bud a lot of nonsense. It really does. So
-
let's read that one more time. So, and that no
-
one may buy or sell except he 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. So
-
take me. What's the measure of an angel? 666. Yeah,
-
it is. So in this chapter, the beast from the sea,
-
which is an angel in Tartarus, And the beast from
-
the earth, that little horn, they have the same measurements.
-
Until next time, God bless.
