Pageviews last month - 666*


Just a matter of time, I suppose.  Picture drawn August 16, 1987, the world wide Harmonic Convergence.  'Old Wine, New Bottles'.


William Blake, The Number Of The Beast Is 666 c. 1805

*About the Number of the Beast - there are many very clever solutions to this, Anthony Burgess had an explanation using Latin that was an acrostic for 'Ceasar is killing all the Christians' or something like that, I can't find it at the moment.  Others say that it is numerology, or that the number reads 'Neron Kesar', allegedly Hebrew for Nero Ceasar.  Revelations seems to have been written c. 95 AD, so that would be kinda pointless, the emperor would have been Domitian.  Tradition has it that he heavily persecuted Jews and Christians, but there is no record of this.  Domitian got the chop in 96 anyway.
The best 'explanation' I can find is that 6 was considered an imperfect number, as it was not 7, a sacred number.  It was reiterated 3 times by John of Patmos in his hallucinogenic diatribe against the 7 major cities of Asia Minor that annoyed him, or who he was trying to get to break away from non-believers, or who knows what the fuck he was talking about.
 


  Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamon, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.

 The book has no business being regarded as Scripture, not least because after the more bloodthirsty and salacious books of the Old Testament it is the most readable thing in the bible.  7 is a prime, 6 is a multiple of 1, 2, or 3, and is defined as the smallest perfect number, a mathematical, i.e. provable, concept as it is the sum of it's proper divisors.  There are only nine number symbols and zero, 6 being the only 'perfect' one of the ten.
There is no meaning to the 666 thing as written.  It is gibberish.  Both the Anti-Christ and the Rapture are not mentioned in Revelation.

The Apocalypse of St. John the Evangelist. Jan Massijs, 1563

"Behold, I am against those who have prophesied false dreams," declares the Lord, "and related them and led My people astray by their falsehoods and reckless boasting; yet I did not send them or command them, nor do they furnish this people the slightest benefit".  Jeremiah 23:32

Father's Last Escape

It happened in the late and forlorn period of complete disruption, at the time of the liquidation of our business. The signboard had been removed from over our shop, the shutters were halfway down, and inside the shop my mother was conducting and unauthorized trade in remnants. Adela had gone to America, and it was said that the boat on which she had sailed had sunk and that all the passengers had lost their lives. We were unable to verify this rumour, but all trace of the girl was lost and we never heard of her again.  A new age began - empty, sober and joyless, like a sheet of white paper. A new servant girl, Genya, anaemic, pale, and boneless, mooned about the rooms. When one patted her on the back, she wriggled, stretched like a snake, or purred like a cat. She had a dull white complexion, and even the insides of her eyelids were white. She was so absent-minded that she sometimes made a white sauce from old letters and invoices: it was sickly and inedible.  At that t

Two Bad Men, Said Their Murderers

John Choate, 25 August 1818 - 3 August 1869 Crokett Choate, 1842 -3 August 1869 This tells of a grave by the dashing wave A fond friends lip that did quiver Of an eye that's hid by a leaden lid And a voice now stilled forever. John on the left.  They were originally buried where they were killed but October of that year the Refugio Masons moved the bodies to Rockport.  This was all part of the Sutton-Taylor feud, the Suttons were backed by the U. S. Government and of no particular righteousness, they were badge wearing murderers and bullies.  The two story house with the porch running around the second floor in the left background belongs to my sister.  A lovely house and the best behaved neighbors possible! Photos by Steve Davis. The man who killed them.  Sheriff.  Regulator. Murderer. https://books.google.com/books?id=PUvanZiwzdUC&pg=PA64&lpg=PA64&dq=john+and+crockett+choate+death+jack+helm+gunfight&source=bl&

Roller Ball Murder

The game, the game: here we go again. All glory to it, all things I am and own because of Roller Ball Murder. Our team stands in a row, twenty of us in salute as the corporation hymn is played by the band. We view the hardwood oval track which offers us the bumps and rewards of mayhem: fifty yards long, thirty yards across the ends, high banked, and at the top of the walls the cannons which fire those frenzied twenty-pound balls-similar to bowling balls, made of ebonite-at velocities over three hundred miles an hour. The balls careen around the track, eventually slowing and falling with diminishing centrifugal force, and as they go to ground or strike a player another volley fires. Here we are, our team: ten roller skaters, five motorbike riders, five runners (or clubbers). As the hymn plays, we stand erect and tough; eighty thousand sit watching in the stands and another two billion viewers around the world inspect the set of our jaws on .multivision. The runners, those bastards
