The seventh millennium is our Sabbath rest!
I am a student of the Bible, but I cannot make sense of this.
What?
I am a student of the Bible, but I cannot make sense of this.
Day-O. Is a day-e-yay-o!
Daylight come and me wanna go home!
I am going to need a more powerful Calculator Ping!
This is hardly the first attempt to get Jewish mysticism and Christian faith to mix.
Whatever good might come of such attempts, the Savior shouldn’t be upstaged by this all.
Beware the deadly black tarantula.
1+2+3+4+5+6+7 = 28 2+8 = 10 28 - 10 = 18
18 / 3 = 6 28 - 6 = 22 22 * 3 =66
66 + 600 = 666!
We are doomed!
There are Christian old earth creationists such as Hugh Ross with a day-age theory. (http://www.reasons.org)
We need to be very careful, however, in too easily assuming that the creation has gone on according to the same principles of physics from the beginning. This may sharply limit the ability of science to frame in the manner of the creation. The young earth scientific creationists and the old earth creationists may be flirting with the same kind of errors, but from different viewpoints.
42!
And how about those Dodgers...
Looks like this kind of stuff:

Good luck with that calculator thing.
A big problem with such theories is that they tend to upstage the gospel. John 3:16 does not go away or lose its meaning as a result of any details we may get about events that don’t impact us here and now.

It’s a simple math trick, the kind that “human calculator” types use to impress people. Any base number that you can reduce to 1 by this method (adding the digits), when you multiply it, the result will reduce to whatever number you multiplied it by. You could substitute just about any number for the number he is using for a “millenium”, as long as it reduced to one, and it would have the same “mathematical seal” that he is talking about here.
So, as you can surmise, a “seal” that can confirm an infinite number of solutions as the correct one is mathematically worthless.
I got a ticket to ride ...
And this also, improbably, attributes the theory to the prophet Daniel. While Daniel prophesied in mysterious numeric puzzles, even he didn’t get anywhere close to this wild.
You are calculating all of this without time. The only point in time before matter exists is G-d’s time- which you don’t know two squirts about.
Time is anything between infinity to the snap of an electron depending on where you are and who you are. Don’t bother straining yourself over the math. The is no static time cycle in the observable Universe before it was even created.
Just stop and understand that from His point of view, it was a day- Not from the point of view of a planet, that didn’t even exist yet, spinning around a Sun, that also didn’t even exist yet. It’s pointless. You might as well ask a fish to calculate the veolicity of nuclear reaction in another Universe from a fish bowl. You simply can’t. You ain’t him.
Excuse me, where did the 600 come from?
