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

Two Angel Forms Were Seen To Glide

’Twas on a lofty vase’s side, Where China’s gayest art had dyed The azure flowers that blow; Demurest of the tabby kind, The pensive Selima, reclined, Gazed on the lake below. Her conscious tail her joy declared; The fair round face, the snowy beard, The velvet of her paws, Her coat, that with the tortoise vies, Her ears of jet, and emerald eyes, She saw; and purred applause. Still had she gazed; but ’midst the tide Two angel forms were seen to glide, The genii of the stream; Their scaly armour’s Tyrian hue Through richest purple to the view Betrayed a golden gleam. The hapless nymph with wonder saw; A whisker first and then a claw, With many an ardent wish, She stretched in vain to reach the prize. What female heart can gold despise? What cat’s averse to fish? Presumptuous maid! with looks intent Again she stretch’d, again she bent, Nor knew the gulf between. (Malignant Fate sat by, and smiled) The slippery verge her feet beguiled, She tumbled headlong in.

''The plight of Davis Paul'' ''Dam you to Hades Billy! why are you setting fire to my Wardrobe with your Cigarette!!?''...you would hear on occasion some kind of verbal anger often from Davis - shouting out in abstract Frustration, 'just because Billy Thought Davis Pauls Clothes were lame'' oh yeah, Billy D was the Dude.........Davis put up with so much crap and nonsense from the rebellious Layabout - come would be antisocial super hero, ''the enabler''...Davis Paul was literally at the end of his tether..all those worrisome late nights... Davis would often shout at Billy, during one of Billy's Trash rampages, ''Aunt may never has this problem ever with peter parker !'' and then the rest of the time, Davis Paul wondering where Billy was? and what was Billy D up too? then after hours and hour of worrying,  Billy would just rock up - staggering through the Front door, Gladiator outfit on, covered

Two Sides Of The Same Coin

 It was a lovely day in November.  At least Tom thought it was November, the air was crisp and cool and it felt Novemberish.  There were no calenders here, while he had a clock he rarely looked at it.  He never had to be anywhere at any particular time in any event, when he had to be somewhere he always showed up on time, if that's the word for it.  Anyway, it was a nice Fall day. Tom stood on his porch that surrounded the small field stone house, he could see and smell the smoke from his neighbor's fires, someone was cooking fish and the big cat was salivating.  Since he had had his coffee he wasn't hungry, but the fish really smelled enticing.  Odd, he thought, I haven't had meat since I got here.  When did I get here?  he thought to himself, I don't remember.  Maybe someplace in town sold meat, although he had never seen such a shop.  It didn't matter, what with the bread and potatoes and butter and honey he was never hungry.  Tom lit a cigarette
