THE MYSTERIOUS MEANING OF NUMBER 666

                                        The identification of the lamb beast. It is the name of a man, or, possibly, a set of men, or, an institution headed by a man or set of men. A name, the letters of which, when regarded as numerals, total 666.         In Hebrew, the numeral value of the letters of “Nero Caesar”, when added, make 666 [“Nero Caesar”, 616, marginal reading]. Nero was, indeed, a beast, but it is a far cry to call him a Lamb-Like beast.      In Greek, [the book was written in Greek], the letters of “Lateinos” total 666: L, 30; A, 1; T, 300; E, 5; 1, 10; N, 50; O, 70; S, 200. Lateinos means “The Latin Kingdom”. It was so understood by Irenaeus, who was a pupil of Polycarp, who was a pupil of John, and bishop of Smyrna at the time the book was written. Latin was the language of Rome. Papal Rome made Latin its official language. And it still is. Among all nations of all languages. Its prayers, canons, missals, breviaries, decrees, bulls, worships, blessings, a

7 AMAZING FACTS OF OUR WORLD

                                [1]       HIDDEN DANGERS IN FRANCE       An estimated 1.3 million tons of lethal devices from world wars one and two remained buried in France. The former front line is littered with old bombs and chemical shells that continue to pose a threat to people and the environment. Since many formerly vacant lots are now residential or industrial areas, bomb-removal squads receive thousands of call each year. Still, hundreds of accidents have occurred, and over 600 experts have been killed in the line of duty between 1945 and 1985. At the present rate, according to specialists, it could 700 years to dispose of this arsenal!                               [2]    BUSES PROMOTE ATHEISM        There is probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life. This slogan has been displayed on 200 buses in London, England; on another 600 countrywide; and on two giant screens in London’s Oxford Street, reports The Guardian newspaper. The originators say that

MYSTERIOUS DISCOVERIES ABOUT OUR PLANET

                                         Astronomers have discovered that they do not know what makes up over 90 percent of the universe. What is more, the discoveries that led to question their understanding of the fundamentals of physics itself. Of course, such questions are nothing new.           Toward the end of the 19 th century, physicists observed something odd about the speed of light. They found that relative to an observer, light always traveled at the same speed no matter how fast the observer was moving. But that seemed to defy natural law! The problem was addressed in 1905 in Albert Einstein’s special theory of relativity, which showed that distance [length], time, and mass are not absolutes. Then, after a flash of intuition that he termed “the happiest thought of my life,” Einstein began to develop his general theory of relativity, which he published in 1916. In this revolutionary work, Einstein wove gravity , space, and time together and refined the phys

THE MYSTERIOUS CREATION “HYMN”

               The age-old Hebrew and Christian tradition is that Moses, guided by the spirit of God, composed Genesis out of ancient documents existent in his day. The book closes something like 300 years before the days of Moses. Moses could have gotten this information only by direct revelation from God, or through such historical records as had been handed down from his forefathers.                  Opening with the creation hymn there are then ten books of Generations which constitute the framework of Genesis. It seems that they were either incorporated bodily by Moses, with such additions and explanations as he may have been guided of God to make; or they were composed by him, under God’s guidance, out of other historical records to which he may have had access.                  This is the poetic description, in measured, majestic movement, of the successive steps of creation, cast in the mold of the off-recurring Biblical “seven”. In all literature, scientific or ot

OUR MYSTERIOUS SENSE OF TASTE

               Bite into your favorite food, and immediately your sense of taste is activated.   But just how does this amazing process work?           Your tongue –as well as other parts of your mouth and throat –includes clusters of skin cells called taste buds. Many are located within papillae on the surface of the tongue. A taste bud contains up to a hundred receptor cells, each of which can detect one of four types of taste –sour, salty, sweet, or bitter. Spicy is in a different category altogether. Spices stimulate pain receptors –not taste buds. In any event, taste-receptor cells are connected to sensory nerves that, when stimulated by chemicals in food, instantly transmit signals to the lower brain stem.       Taste, however, involves more than your mouth. The five million odor receptors in your nose –which allow you to detect some 10,000 unique odors –play a vital role in the tasting process. It has been estimated that about 75 percent of what we call taste is actu
