"HEBREW WORD #666 IN STRONG'S CONCORDANCE"


Would you believe that Hebrew Word # 666 in Strong's Concordance's which is "apher" means "(in sense of covering); a turban: --ashes."
 
Since the Lord knows everything including the future and all the languages, He would have known what Hebrew word would be placed in Strong's Concordance as # 666.  So it certainly would be interesting if worshipping the beast and taking the mark of the beast 666 was enforced by the Muslims, who wear turbans, under an Islamic beast kingdom.
 
Also David Burnette stated the following in the closing paragraph of his 9/29 post at http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/sep2006/davidb929.htm
 
"So clearly, the Judge rules the future beast empire IS NOT ROME! The five that are fallen prior to John’s day are: 1. Babylon, 2. Medo-Persian, 3. Grecian, 4. Ptolemaic, and 5. Seleucid. According to Daniel 11:40-45 the Seleucid Kingdom (King of the north) fits the bill! It existed prior to the time of John and will exist again in the future in the form of Syria/Iraq. Therefore, the region occupied by this former empire will produce the future beast, which is the NEW MUSLIM CALIPHATE that has been hidden in all modern Middle-East Maps since 1917! "
 
It is also interesting to note that the tower of Babel in the plain of Shinar in Babylonia in Genesis 11, where the one language was confused or mixed up by the Lord, lies within the present day Iraq, The language  Heb. word #894 "Babel" from #1101 in Strong's Concordance means "confusion: Babel (i.e. Babylon), including Babylonia and Bab. empire: -- Babel, Babylon."  Hebrew word #1101"balal" from which Babel is taken means "a prim. root; to overflow (spec. with oil); by impl. to mix; also (denom. from 1098 to fodder: -- anoint, confound, fade, mix, mingle(self), give provender, temper."  It is also interesting to note that King Nebuchadnezzar built the great image in his dream whose height was 60 cubits, and its breadth 6 cubits in the plain of Dura in Babylon according to Daniel 3:1. Actually Hebrew word #1101 "balal" is used in Genesis 11:7 & 9 for the word "confound" where the Lord did "confound" the language in all the earth meaning he "mixed" up the one language they all spoke into other languages so that they couldn't understand one another. However, the Hebrew word #6151 for "mixed" in the feet and ten toes of iron "mixed" with miry clay on the image in Nebuchadnezzar's dream  is "arab."  As you know, present day Iraq is a Muslim country.  Will the Antichrist 666 come out of Iraq, the present day country, where the tower of Babel and the image in Nebuchadnezzar's dream in Babylon were once located?
