As a young unsaved man I was very much into the heavy metal scene, not just participating in the lifestyle and culture, but also in the playing of this music. A song that we use to play and listen to was a song by Iron Maiden called, The Number of the Beast. The intro of this song begins with a man with a very ire voice quoting Revelation 12:12, 13:18.
"Woe to You Oh Earth and Sea for the Devil sends the beast with wrath because he knows the time is short.Let him who have understanding reckon the number of the beast for it is a human number,its number is six hundred and sixty six"
Today millions of heavy metal fans across the world know this intro of this song as they know their very own names. They can quote this passage verbatim as unsaved religious folks can quote the Lords Prayer. I truly wonder how many - lost and saved today - fully comprehend the full magnitude, weight and depth of this exponential super abounding time called the Great Tribulation; in which there will be the exponential demonic oppression and tyranny of the "Devil" and his anti Christ (i.e., the Beast) (Rev. 9, 12:7-17). The very ones who can quote these same Scriptures fused into this Iron Maiden song (Rev.12:12, 13:18) will most likely be alive when this very Satanic institution goes into full affect (Matt. 24:15). What this song has done is to take the sting out of Almighty God's horrific warning and has neutered these Bible verses by twisted them to subtly promote the acceptance of the demonic agenda of 666, which will reign over the world very shortly (Rev. 12:12; 13:18).
"The very ones who can quote these same Scriptures fused in this Iron Maiden song will most likely, be alive when this very Satanic intuition goes into effect". .The words despotic, authoritarian, tyrannical, autocratic etc. with all of their deepest and fullest descriptions, fall so exceedingly short when seeking to describe the Satanic tyranny and oppression during these last 3 ½ years called The Great Tribulation (Matt. 24:21-22). So horrific a time this will be that the Lord Jesus stated that, if the days were not cut short NO ONE (flesh) WOULD EVER SURVIVE (Matt. 24:22)! This "time period" is experientially far more horrific then all the world wars and global pestilence ever put together. To add to mans global woes during this time, the inhabitants of the world will have a supernatural oppressor and tyrant whose power, strength and genius exponentially surpasses the limited confines of mankind.
This fallen evil genus (Lucifer - aka. Satan) and his rebellious host of untold millions of fallen angels will be - because of their expulsion from any access to the third heaven - confined and concentrated to this little ol planet called earth (Rev.12:7-17). Planet earth will become their new temporal prison cell (Rev. 18:2) till Christs glorious return to earth in which these demonic hordes will be placed back in the abyss until they are assigned into the Lake of Fire FOREVER(Matt 25:41, Rev. 19:11-21). It has been this very time and hour that has been the most haunting and dreadful thought in the minds of the fallen angelic hosts, for they now know indeed that their time is very short (Matt. 8:29, 25: 41 Mark 1:24, 5:7, Luke 4:34, James 2:19).
In this last century - with all of the new mediums available to mankind - no other medium has been more powerful a tool in the hand of Satan (i.e., Lucifer) than the godless music industry. By it he has single handedly changed the course of history and the landscape of the world's global social order (Luke 4:5-6, 2 Cor. 4:3-4, Eph. 2:1-2, 6:12).
My friend, put away all such forms of evil and by faith place your trust in Almighty God's Son, the Lord Jesus Christ and receive Him in to your heart as your personal Savior (John 1:12, 3:16-17, Acts 4:12, Rom. 6:23, 10:4, Gal 1:4) That my friend, is what this whole little life is about! Satan's godless system is but for a moment when compared to the vast expanse of ETERNITY future (Matt. 25:41, Rev. 20:11-15).
My friend, place your trust in the Savior today and instead of drinking and singing from Satan's musical kool - aid selections. You will truly know what true happiness is and what comes from a heart that has been forgiven. You will be singing "Amazing Grace" all the live long day. May it be even so for you!
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
50And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.
51And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,
52And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.
53And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.
54And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?
55But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.
56For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.
57And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
58And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
59And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
60Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
61And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.
62And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
The lead singer of Iron Maiden is a born again Christian who was rescuing Christians from Lebanon a few years back.
Interesting fact.
It’s also 2x3x3x37. I view that about equally interesting.
All of this does not matter a wit..G-d is in control.
59And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
60Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
Since you put this in News, I presume that irreverent replies are welcome.

Apparently Megadeth too . . .
In 2004, Mustaine said he would vote for President Bush because John Kerry would "ruin our country." -- In 2011, he called President Obama "the most divisive president we've ever had. I've never, in my 50 years of being alive, listened to an American president try and turn one class of people against another class of people."
Dave Mustaine is a smart guy. I saw him on Rock n Roll Jeopardy years ago and he knows music and music history.
OMG!!!! ...... "666" ..... is ......."999" upside down!!!
Coincidence?
And here I clicked on the link thinking it was an article about Michele Bachmann talking about Herman Cain again.
Avogardo’s number.
He was also nearly a world class fencer, who probably could have made the British Olympic squad, had he been willing to put Iron Maiden on hold. He also holds a commercial pilot license, and actually pilots the Iron Maiden tour plane (in the left seat!) Their chartered plane is "Flight 666 on 'Ed Force One.'" It's weird to see him do it, because when he does, he wears his pilot uniform.

No it is the vav or V sound, nothing close to a W in hebrew, like no G sound. But they got other sounds we don’t have to make up for it.
But no W, that 666 thing just does not work in hebrew.
