"The Number of the Beast"


Dear Doves:

Having been a reader of the site for years, and having seen various theories presented, I thought it best to use this place to share an idea.  This is simply a thought and I give no suggestion that it is correct or heaven sent, for while I try my best to follow the Lord I have not been advised by Him regarding this notion, and do not wish it thought otherwise, lest I be accused of wrongdoing.  Also let me add that my theory is based on the KJV English translation, and a review of the original language may disprove this thought.  I've had this idea for some time now, but based on current events I thought I should share it.

Considering the verse of Revelation 13:18,  we read:

 "Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."

Now there have been many attempts over the years at determining who this is or what the number could mean, with most people viewing it as 666.  However, if one looks at it another way, they end up with 600 20 20 26, which is 600 followed by three score (20), and adding 6 to the last score.  This my friends is a nine digit number.

Our social security numbers are nine digit numbers.

 A social security number starting with 600 would have been issued to someone in Arizona, according to this web page:  http://www.cpsr.org/prevsite/cpsr/privacy/ssn/ssn.structure.html 

John McCain is from Arizona.  I have no idea what his social security number is, but I have noticed that he might be on his way to the Whitehouse.

If anyone can offer input on this, I would be most interested.
