This is the image posted at Drudge (the name of Allah)...
And this was the what was actually recorded by John the Revelator as "666"...
Curious to say the least!
Then isn’t Shoeblat wrong when he claims these symbols are in the Codex Sinaiticus?
In the final analysis, I don’t know. Shoebat might be wrong...but please show us how the Codex Sinaitucus proves him wrong.
Sure.
Walid Shoeblat says he found Arabic symbols related to the Islamic Allah in Revelations 3:18 of the earliest texts of the bible.
He specifically references the Codex Sinaiticus.
So I look up Rev 3:18 in the Codex Sinaiticus and what he is talking about isn’t there at all. It’s just the greek words for 666.
He also mentions Codex Vaticanus, but the original version doesn’t include a translation of Revelations at all.
So far it doesn’t look like his claims are credible to me.
He claims they are in Codex Vaticanus
Thx. This will take some research on my part. Will copy you with what I learn.
The mark of the beast is already everywhere.
Take a look at this:
I knew that “It’s a Small World” song had to be the work of the devil.
At 2:26 in the video he explicitly says that the Codex Sinaiticus does not have “666” and instead has these symbols.
But he’s wrong as 3 minute search shows, the greek words for 666 are right there and the symbols are not. He should withdraw the claim about Codex Sinaiticus.
He also says he found these symbols in Codex Vaticanus, but Revelations was not in the original 4th century edition — it was added in an appendix in the 15th century.
There are many editions of revelations that predate this 15th century version, and none of them have the symbols he is talking about.
He should withdraw the claim that his theory comes from the earliest editions of the bible, since it isn’t in any of them, and admit it comes from the hand of a 15th century transcriber.
Looks to me as a sort of illiterate shorthand for someone who became “quite turned by the view of a large bosom”.
One note was interesting ~ depends on whether it’s read in Greek or Latin.
