Hey and welcome to the short term by Josh, there's Chuck Hale Satan. This is short stuff, you're Josh, I'm Chuck and that's Bruce Dickinson standing right over there for some reason. Yet there is a zero percent chance of iron maiden not making an appearance in this. He got to the minutes. I don't know if it's their best album power, slaves, probably their best album, but that's pretty pretty far up there. Although simmer down everybody, there is really no such thing as a bad iron maiden album. I wasn't that into their money to give them a shot. Yeah, they age really really well, it's it's really well done music, there, almost the Prague band of metal of metal, just so ridiculously talented, every single one of them, so yeah, it's good stuff. I highly it.

As you to get back into it. Ok, I will, and what we're talking about today is the number six six six and our old pal Dave ruse put this together for Hausa, forks dot com and one of the first things he says is article is like. Would you I a car with a licence by any in six, six, six and dude, my pickup truck has execs analyze and you know it doesn't area. We talked about it. While ago, when it when it came in well, I'm delighted I hit my head since then serve forgotten

Ojo earlier, while with its great you need it like some sort of graphics on the side or whatever devil may be, or something like that. Maybe I will so the answer to that question from Dave them, for you is yes, there's a lot of people who wouldn't who would not is mostly God, fearing people who believe that there is a book in the Bible while they don't believe it like. There actually is a book in the Bible, but there the in this book book of revelations, I think, a chapter, thirteen or no chapter three verse. Eighteen says this here's wisdom, let him who has understanding calculate the number, the beast for the numbers, that of a man and his number is six sick. Yeah so You ve ever seen the movies I mean, there's been an plenty, a movies, but the movie. The omen is the most famous movie to make use of this because

Damien, and it's still one of the great moments, a movie history when their searching through his hair on his head yet, and they see that six, six, six its clearly tattooed but tattooed by God. I guess you're yeah by the holy ghost sit. It spreads pretty scary. It is as good seen. So that's a good movie too, but yet the whole thing is this number. But this Bible versus saying is: there's a basically Satan. The beast has a number so that you can recognize him. When you see this number, you can recognize that this is Satan or an agent of Satan or somebody who is going to kill you if you dont worshipping

who is the converse of God, is in opposition to God and is the opposite of everything right and good, and so hear me. The writer of revelations are, is going to to make you wise to this and just look out for six six six and to those of us alive. Today we have no idea what that means like how are you going to say somebody as a number, but back in the first century, CE among greek speakers, This is a very common form of word play that they would have immediately recognized and they think it back in the day. Anybody reading, book, a revelations around near the first century of the southern millennium. Before this one they they would know exactly who the beast wasn't? Who this was talking about yeah, because there weren't numbers, like we think of him in Greece at the time and Greek, the arabic nobles came around hundreds of years later so in in Greece, each

or of the greek alphabet and in Hebrew actually had a numeric value. So there was this thing that we're gonna talk about after message break here in a minute called I Sup suggests. V I successfully yeah. I subsidiary keep added it s in their keep going Helluva Europe's Happy Jack God, it's in there somewhere, I'm guessing Scotty That's right, and that means in Greek, equal in numerical value, and that was away for in the first century. Basically, where you could, it was sort of like not Morse code but a numerical aims. Yeah those games, kids play You sound like a numeric code some one and then they have to translate the code by what

represents to get the final. I guess and Christmas story it was what drink your oval dean be sure to drink your oval team from a commercial yeah, so bad, yet it wasn't like you, didn't need a secret Dakota ring everyone walkin around speaking Greek knew the alpha was interchangeable with one beta was too pie was eighty, which is weird. I thought pie was three point, one for etc. Sigh is seven hundred, for example, and so, if you added together letters you can come up with a number for that word or that name, so you could say that a name had a number. That's what this is talking about. That's right! So that's the set up and we'll talk a little bit more about. I sup Sufi Right,

this problems, its human nature, to hate problems. But why is that, after all problems, inspire us to men, things bend things make things better? That's why so many people work with IBM on everything from city traffic to ocean plastic, new schools to new energy flight delays to food safety. Smart. Problems IBM, let's put smart to work, visit, IBM dot com, flash smart to learn more. Ok, Chuck, so just exactly like

play. If your name was spelled alpha beta, Pi Sci, your number would be seven hundred and eighty three. You could also take seven hundred and eighty three and figure out whose name that meant way harder to do in transverse, but you, if there's save some famous people, that maybe you suspect that the author is talking about you could say well, does that equal, seven hundred and eighty three or in this case six, six, six and there's one guy in particular, who the the writers of revelations would have very much focused on, is potentially the beast, an agent of Satan. Who would wanted to mark you with his number so that you couldn't buy or sell anything without that Mark Oregon? Who would kill you if you didn't worship them and that particular guy was named Nero?

Yes, there was a pretty famous I sub sesame I'd, keep adding in Essen, their limited effie. You gotta put your word butcher apron on well, it is a we're word. I also p s e p h why but There was a very famous one early on that was it goes a little something like this calculation, new, colon, Nero his mother slew. So in this case a Nero equals thousand and five, which has value of the phrase his mother slew. So basically, that's like. Oh my god. RO killed his mom yeah. That's the thing about the ice upsets fees having like gum, equal, equal, Oh, you is that if one word had a numeric value to and in that's the same as say another word or another phrase, that meant that there was some mystical metaphysical connection between

those two sort of people who were like a narrow, terrible? He probably murders mother the fact that Nero his their slew and Nero had the same numeric value zero zero. Five. That was just proof positive, like you, didn't, need to look any further. Give you my crystal ball and my birchen stocks, right. So you might be saying yourself. Wait a minute. You guys said Nero was thousand and five, but you also said that some people believe that they were fearing to Nero as they six execs right. You got her rejects this a little bit. In that case, you have. Use the full name Caesar Nero in Greek, that translated into Hebrew, Hebrew is, does a Hebrew alive. That's the much more modern version of their origin he's my Hebrew.

In our w in a q, s are witches. Neuron case are, and then that adds up to sixty six Some people say: ok, all right sure. Why not? The is there's a big objection to that when that I ran across, and that is that the revelations was written in Greek for Greeks, cars. Who may not have actually known that that you were supposed to trains this into Hebrew and may not have been familiar with Hebrew and not known how to do it. That doesn't necessarily mean out. No. This is wrong like if you're in co

A message having an extra step involving another language is definitely not against the rules. But from what I can understand, this is much more widespread and normal pursuit earn a diversion. This kind of ice upsets safety. It is hard to say, is in it. It is, then, then this would be like this, a extra big step compared to what they normally did like. There's grief, de that they found in the ancient world that uses ice up? Says fees yeah like hey, you know who I am into seven eight six right so some lady in town would be like. Oh I'm, seven eight six year. So some people say I don't know about that trains translating into Hebrew and then making senses six six six. I don't know about that. One It seems like a bit of a reach, but I don't know enough about it. I do think it's interesting, though, that the idea that they were using

coded language, possibly in the Bible yeah. I guess it was. It sounds like it was all the rage back then. Are you like that is the hot thing here was it was very hot, so Some people who say okay, this is way off. It wasn't Nero because the by the way, the other thing about Neuro really kind of dates. Revelations you don't mean like it's meant to be kind of a timeless classic and a lot of people are like, while the beast has even been born yet, and everyone knows that the bar code is the mark of the bees. So the idea that it's just Nero, who has zero effect on our today the desert is. It doesn't play very well that interpretation other people have interpreted as meaning that it is not even it's not talking about a specific person which is tough to get her because the translations, all of them that I saw, is that its number of a man, a man?

not man meaning like humankind. It's like a human number, which is, I think, exactly iron maidens guy puts it on number the beast, but is there were of a man like a specific man, but if you throw their a out aid, just take it like it. Human numbers. What it means than this interpretation is saying that it's it's actually pointing out that Satan is a a cheap imitation achieve parity of God and the grace of God, and so this is what your looking out for this is. This is the different interpretation. Well, one thing I know if man is five and the devil is six and got a seven, then this this monkey is gone to. Heaven bless her height man. Wiser words have never been spoken. The greed love that song so yeah. That's. The point is that they, then than symbolic number of God, is seven and Satan's is sick,

So it's like a disconnect Satan's a cheap imitation of gods who don't fall for his jam? That's right! So there you have it six six six see their Nero or saying that Satan is a cheap imitation of God. But, however, you slice it it's a really good iron maiden! Album, ok agreed! That's it for your stuff! Everybody go out and read about this on how stuff works. If you want an definitely go: listen to Somalia, it'll, do you good short stuff is out step. He should know its production.
