Nature Boy,
Its in my long post. New Testament, Revelations Chapter 13 Verses 16-18
And I quote
"He also forced everyone, small and great, both rich and poor, free and slave, to recieve a mark on his right hand or forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had that mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.
This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is mans number. His number is 666."
Revelation 13:16-18
revelation was written over 1500 years ago by the prophet John exiled on the island of Patmos for his faith in Christ.
I understand if ur a skeptic. So am I. Theres an overwhelming amount of evidence refuting Biblical creationism and a 10,000 year old earth. Which basically means, the Bible is not the complete infalliable Word of God. However, that doesnt mean every verse in the Bible is false.
If your looking for confirmation of the accuracy of Biblical prophesy, try this on for size (one of my favorite quotes by the way):
"Who has beleived our message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearence that we should desire him.
He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces, he was despised and we esteemed not.
Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him to be stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted. But he was peirced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our inequities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.
We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the Lord has laid upon him the inequity of us all.
He was oppressed and afflicted yet did not open his mouth;
he was like a lamb to the slaughter , and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so did he not open his mouth. By oppression and judgement he was taking away. And who can speak of his descendants? For he was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people he was stricken. He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and the rich in his death, though he had done no violence, nor was any deciet in his mouth.
Yet it was the Lords will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the Lord makes his life a guilt offering, he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the the Lord will prosper in his hand. After the suffering of his soul, he will see the light of life and be satisfied;
by his knowledge my rightous servant will justify many, and he will bear their inequities. Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, and he will divide the spoils among the strong, because he poured out his life unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors.
For he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors."
We need to understand the Bible conveys spiritual truths. This scripture predicts the life and purpose of Christ. It was written over 600 years before Christ was born. Recent discoveries of the dead sea scrolls confirmed scripture in the Book of Isiah had been unaltered over 1500 years of transcription.
