deamonstar Posted November 7, 2003 Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 here's something to think about... "On the Pope's official mitre is the title "Vicarius Filii Dei" which means "Vicar of the Son of God." The claim that this is his official title has been stated publicly through the years. In Revelation 13:18 it says, "Count the number of the beast; for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. (666)." Let's do it now and see what we find. Remember the Roman numerals you learned in school? V = 5I = lC = 100A = 0R = 0I = lU = 5S = O "U" and "V" have the same value. Look in your encyclopedia under "Alphabet." F = 0I = 1L = 50I = 1I = 1 D = 500E = 0I = 1----------- Total = 666! In Greek, Hebrew, and Latin, it comes out the same. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
