[DiogenesLamp]

No matter what any person or persons do or don’t do, there is a cleansing coming, and it will be Old Testament in scope and nature.

The financial math certainly seems to bear this out.

“Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast:..."

[amorphous]

“This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666. "

Not that I think I have any special wisdom, far from it, but it may be that this prophecy has already been fulfilled, at least on one level (most prophecy has multiple levels).

...calculate the number of the beast...

6 + 6 + 6 = 18, 1 + 8 = "9"

Calculating the Number for Your Name

...for it is the number of a man...

The beast is government. Government (the beast) has issued each of us our number (i.e., our SSN). Our number is composed of "9" digits (i.e., 'the number of a man')

What are the odds?

It goes without saying how difficult living in our country today, would be without a SSN.
