Re:"Mexico's President Vicente Fox = 666?" - As referred to:

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.        Revelation 13:18

It has been pointed out that in the original Greek the number is not 666 but 600 and 60 and 6.  That is because we really have three Greek Letters who's numeric representations are 600, 60, and 6.  Now while I've seen people on Five Doves emphatic that the number is not 666 but 600 and 60 and 6, they have not explained themselves further.  The only satisfactory explanation to me, if one insists on this point, is these are three numbers that represent three letters in the language appropriate at the time.  Of course, many people have noticed that using English with a=1, b=2, c=3, d=4, e=5, f=6, g=7, h=8, i=9, j=10, k=20, l=30, m=40, n=50, o=60, p=70, q=80, r=90, s=100, t=200, u=300, v=400, w=500, x=600, y=700, and z=800, that 600, 60, and 6 is X, O, and F.

And there are those that insist that the original book of Revelation was in Aramaic, not Greek, which is read right to left.  This would reverse the order of the letters to be as viewed in English, F, O, and X.  This could explain what "Bobbie" noticed in his email of the letters being in reverse order.

I'm sure many have noticed for some time, including myself, that the head of Mexico currently has the last name of Fox,which matches the FOX from 6, 60, and 600, and seems to be the only national leader currently with that name.  However, it can only be pure supposition at this point to go beyond noticing.

And one can take Jesus, the Christ's, only statement with the word "fox":

And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.  Luke 13:32

That we have a hint that Herod is a type of Antichrist.  What I find interesting about this verse is the somewhat hidden message to His bride.  Taking 1 day as 1,000 years per Psalms, He cures people from the sickness of sin just like He did when He pronounced "your sins are forgiven" when healing, for 1,000 years, (today), and another thousand years, (tomorrow), and the third thousand years, (third day), He shall be perfected, (joined to His spotless Bride, becoming one, and reigning as Prince of Peace for the millennium).

Also, since it was pointed out in the reply to "Bobbie"  that  "Prince Charles of Wales" works out to 666, let's specify exactly what conditions are used.  Using the same  a=1, b=2 code above one gets 1166.  However, if one points out that there are only 22 letters in the Hebrew and Greek alphabet instead of 26 then we need to stop our number assignment at V, the 22nd letter of the English alphabet.  That way instead of assigning W a 500, it gets a 0, dropping down the total value to what we "want".  However, for consistency it should be pointed out that both the Hebrew and Greek language have different styles of the same letter for endings of words along with obsolete letters in the Greek to where they end up with 27 different letter forms used in both the Greek and Hebrew Gematria tables to bring us up to a maximum of 900 for the last letter form.  So it may not be legitimate to just ignore the last 4 letters in the English language.  Obviously we can't get X = 600 ignoring the last 4 letters.

Okay - I've covered everything I wanted to cover regarding the letter from "Bobbie" and the response. 

One thing I have done in the past is figure out using the same three letters what other numbers would be, such as:

444 = DMV - Which I thought was remarkably close to DaMascVs, (with V being the Roman form of U)
555 = ENW - While I've been posting on why 555 could represent the Rapture now for over 5 years, this could be the direction from where He comes, E for East, and then He goes North, as the majority of mankind does live in the Northern Hemisphere, and then He ends up going West

For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.  Matthew 24:27

And rearranging the letters we also have the word NEW, for we are children of the New Covenant and He makes all things new.

And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.  Hebrews 9:15

One final note regarding the next letter on the referenced site having to do with May 13, 2006 where it is stated:

I can guarantee you that the rapture will not be on the date you gave or any date this year. I base this on understanding the sabbath year cycles, which the 70 weeks of Daniel are 70 instances of and tells us that Jesus can only return to reign in a sabbath year.

Having not read the site but based just on this, one could reach the conclusion that the year that the rapture occurs is the same year or a multiple of 7 years from when Jesus comes back to reign.  This would preclude 3 1/2 years or maybe 10 years between the rapture and His return.

I cannot find a reference on the site as to which years are sabbath years.  I have seen people express the opinion that the count started again when Israel repossessed the land as of May 14, 1948.  Then 1949 would be the first season, 50, the 2nd, 51, the 3rd, 52, the 4th, 53, the 5th, 54, the 6th, and 1955 (1) would be the Sabbath year.  That would make 1962 (2), 1969 (3), 1976 (4), 1983 (5), 1990 (6), 1997 (7), 2004 (8), 2011 (9), 2018 (10), 2025 (11), and 2032 (12) as Sabbath years.   Just want to understand better if these are the right years.

As for me, I'm still watching this year, in particular Ascension Day.  This Ascension Day (5/25) marks one Christian Festival year from last Ascension Day, (5/5/5) which could be said to have started a one year watch akin to Christ asking His disciples to watch one hour:

And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?  Matthew 26:40

And akin to the Bride watching up to one year while the Bridegroom goes and prepares a place for Her.

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.  John 14:3

For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch
Mark 13:34
