    • @ChargerBullet
      @ChargerBullet 9 лет назад +3

      George Balega I'm not entirely sure if exactly true but the Roman Numeral 'M' for 1000 was not originally used but was later added. I heard all this on a certain midnight radio show years ago.
      I tried searching if this was correct and couldn't find anything relevant until I came upon this site. It shows that the Roman Numeral for 1000 was depicted as 'I' inside 'parenthesis'. The parenthesis looked more like a 'C' and a backwards 'C' with the 'I' in between. Written quickly, this numeral ( I ) morphed into 'M'. [Then again, it also shows evidence that 'D' was also sometimes written as 'I' and a backwards 'C'.]

      +Leopoldo Aranha I think it's because Pentecostal Christians are obsessed with the Book of Revelations. They're the ones always going on about New World Order, secret government FEMA concentration camps, and everyone having to be branded with the Mark of The Beast and having RFID chips implanted in their skulls.
      One thing I did find strange though was how could 'Ceasar', which is spelled with six letters in the English alphabet, be spelled with only three in the Greek / Hebrew alphabet, they never did explain that.
      Actually that's a little unfair, most Christians don't really believe all that nonsense, only the very extremist, ultra- conservatives. That's true of any religious faith / political organization.

    • @joshuacantin514
      @joshuacantin514 8 лет назад +35

      +Bernard Gilbert In Hebrew, vowels are omitted and its alphabet is actually all consonants ("aleph" is actually a consonant that represents the glottal stop). There was a vowel system eventually developed after the gematria would have existed for awhile, but it is composed of dots written above and below the letters and it does not have a number system associated with it. Modern Hebrew speakers rarely use the vowel system and keep just the consonants as the vowel system is mostly useful for learners.
      So, what Pete had in the video was "QSR", which would have been pronounced "Kaisar" (this is actually the original pronunciation of Caesar); a native Hebrew reader would immediately know what vowels to use.

  • @ihathtelekinesis
    @ihathtelekinesis 10 лет назад +6

    If anyone's wondering why iota stands for 10 when it's the 9th letter of the Greek alphabet, it's because Greek numerals keep the letter digamma long after it stopped being used in writing. It was the 6th letter of the alphabet, represented the /w/ sound and eventually made its way into the Latin alphabet as F.

    That's actually kind of misleading. There are words for numbers in Hebrew. But, Hebrew letters are not used to represent numbers in the same way. The Hebrew way of doing it is called Gematriah/Gematria. The way it works is:
    Aleph: 1
    Beis: 2
    Gimmel: 3
    Daled: 4
    Hay: 5
    Vav: 6
    Zayin: 7
    Ches: 8
    Tes: 9
    Yud: 10
    Kaf: 20
    Lamed: 30
    Mem: 40
    Nun: 50
    Samech: 60

    For those of you who are still confused, the Romans under Nero were heavily persecuting the Christians at the time (it was written by John the Revelator while exiled to the Isle of Patmos after they failed to kill him with hot oil). Because the Romans could possibly find his writings, John wrote the description of the beast in code. The importance is not Nero himself, but the connotation behind his name. The beast is a modern figure with the same characteristics of Nero. The purpose was to warn the last generation against a leader who would embody the characteristics of Nero.

    Native Hebrew speaker here. Quick note, the spelling of Nero Caesar ("neron kesar") is written incorrectly by omitting the final form of the second Nun. Certain letters in Hebrew are written differently when located at the end of the word, including the letter Nun. I expect that this was done for making the gematria easier to explain, but it should be noted that Nero's name is actually supposed to be written "נרון קסר" and not "נרונ קסר."

Sometimes, I’d lose my homework that I clearly passed. Sometimes my phone would get taken away from me, but for some reason, the number 666 would always come up before it happens. Back then, i just looked at the number going like “oh no it’s the scaryyy number!” In a sarcastic sense, but now i just feel like it’s trying to warn me about my homework or something

    I'm from Israel, so I've been speaking Hebrew my whole life. Hebrew is a renewed language. It is an ancienct language that has died, and been revived almost 3 thousand years after its death. Ancient Hebrew does indeed use letters for numbers, and still today, we use letters for grades (first grade would be called grade A) as well as other various things, but we have adopted the international mathematical symbols, for obvious practical reasons. I just wanted to clarify that, just in case anyone had developed the wrong impression.

    Why use Nero's title in the calculation? Caesar is more of a title than a name and his true name wasn't even Nero that was the name he took after he was adopted. Hell his imperial name didn't even have Nero in it, he might be known as Nero commonly but that doesn't mean it is his true given name.

    • @philv2529
      @philv2529 11 лет назад

      You are partially correct. Caesar was actually the last name of Julius Caesar and continued up to the end of his dynasty of which Nero was a part. After the Julio-Claudian dynasty ended it became adopted as a title. It would be like if every president since Washington used his last name as a title; "Hi, I'm George Bush Washington." On a side note Caesar was not as great of a title as Augustus which meant majestic in latin. You get a lot of emperors who had the title Caesar Augustus affixed to their name. After the tetrarchy was established you had four rulers, each half of the empire (west and east) had one Caesar and one Augustus. The Caesar ran the empire but the Augustus was his boss and the Augustus had the power to appoint a new Caesar. But if John wanted to use Nero's full name for his 666 thing he would have had to calculate off of... 'Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus'.

    • @CazRaX
      @CazRaX 11 лет назад

      That is why these type of things bother me, they pick and choose what parts to use and which to leave out to get to the conclusion they want. Hell Nero's birth name was Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus, why not use that for numbers instead of the name he took later on?

    That was very very informative.
    I was already aware of Nero and his deeds during his reign in the Roman Empire, however I wasn't in the least aware his name was directly linked to the "666". This and I do agree that "A" to "Z" and 1-26 aren't comparable to the use of the Greek and Hebrew alphabetical and numeric systems; I only say this, because of the strong connection between both systems, instead of our numeric and alphabetical systems being separate as we do nowadays.

    Your missing the point. This is about gods and devils, not humans. The number 666 is the number of a Man, however he is not just a man, more like a god or a man in disguise. They wrote the Bible in languages of the past, but it was meant to be deciphered in a future language of our times. That is how well the gods and devils know the future, like time travelers. To know the right Bible and the right language you must find the Beast, because this all about him. Two thirds of the human species is to be killed around his appearance, at least that is the plan of the apocalypse, so this can not be a historical figure.

Heck, there are even like 66 books in the Bible - which is sort of 666ish. The historical context of it simply meaning Nero makes sense. Everything else.. well.. much less so :)

      No, triangle numbers are always positive integers. Also the sum of all integers is not actually -1/12 in any common number systems.

    As a Hebrew speaker, it was fascinating. And pretty accurate (including the way you had drawn the letters) even though Hebrew isn't your first language.
    And I guess Greek either :)..
    Kudos..

    I get that they were speaking about Nero. BUT Nero never forced the Jews or Christians to receive a mark on the forehead or right hand that we know of. The number may represent the name Nero and his nature. But the the actual mark would be something in the future that somehow has to do with the NAME Nero. 16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
    17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

    One thing about the 666 Riddle of Revelation and it calculating up to Nero Caesar is that he never ordered the mark of 666 to be branded upon the forehead or hand. Plus Caesar is a title like President, so that really wasn't his name. And they never gathered to war against Christ Jesus in the Valley of Megiddo for the War of Armageddon yet. You did get the number correct though... didn't YOU?

    666 or the number of the beast is not the number of Satan. The beast, is actually a representation of human government. He even read it was a man's number, not the Devils number. So saying 666 is illuminati is actually correct in a way.

    36th triangle number is 666
    36 is 6x6
    coincidence??
    666 is a triangle number
    the illuminati's symbol is a triangle
    coincidence???
