Jack Van Impe endorses the English codes for calculating 666

I used to watch Rev JR Church when I was growing up in Oklahoma. At that time he was going through the Psalms proving that Christ would return in 1988.

Here is part of a sermon by David Curtis:

The beast of Revelation is none other than Lucious Domisus Ahinabarbus, who is better known by his adoptive name Nero Claudius Caesar. He is the only man who fits the bill as the specific and personal expression of the beast. Let us look at his qualifications.
The beast is identified by the number 666. In the ancient days alphabets served a two-fold purpose. Their first and foremost purpose was, of course, their service as letters. But letters were also assigned numerical values and thus served as numerals. The most familiar example of this dual function of alphabets can be found in the Roman numeral system. The Greek and Hebrew languages operated similarly. Nero Caesar, if spelled according to a Hebrew spelling (John and most of first century Christians were of Hebrew extraction) gives us precisely the value 666. Is it not remarkable that this most relevant emperor, who lived while those seven churches lived, and lived while John wrote, has a name that fits precisely the required sum? Is this a sheer coincidence, or an historical accident? Remember audience relevance. What would have been the purpose of frustrating readers for two millennia who could not possibly identify a twentieth-century (or later) beast? Isn't it far more reasonable to assume that John's original readers understood him very well in his identification of the beast?
The character of the beast qualifies Nero for this role. He possessed a bestial nature. Nero often acted in horrible viciousness. According to Suetonius, Nero was a sodomite who is said to have castrated a boy named Sporus and married him. He enjoyed homosexual rape and torture. He killed his parents, brother, wife, aunt, and many others close to him. He so prostituted his own chastity that after defiling almost every part of his body, he at last devised a kind of game: covered with the skin of some wild animal, he was let loose from a cage and attacked the private parts of men and women, who were bound at stakes.
Revelation 13:7 speaks of the power given to the beast to make war with the saints. Nero was the first of the imperial authorities to persecute Christianity. Tacitus records the scene in Rome when the persecution of Christians broke out: "And their death was aggravated with mockeries, insomuch that, wrapped in the hides of wild beasts, they were torn to pieces by dogs, or fastened to crosses to be set on fire, that when the darkness fell they might be burned to illuminate the night." Revelation 13:5 says that the beast would continue 42 months. The Neronic persecution was instituted in 64 AD and lasted until his death in June 68 AD, which is three and a half years, or 42 months. Nero fits the bill for the role of the beast.
The beast is to die by a sword according to Revelation 13: 10 & 14. Do you know how Nero died? According to Suetonius, he "drove a dagger into his throat, aided by Epaphroditus, his private secretary." Nero killed with the sword and was killed by the sword.
Revelation 17:3 tells us that the beast is red. The red color may be indicative of the bloodshed caused by the beast. But Suetonius writes of the legend associated with Nero's ancestral parentage, which explains why he had a red beard.
The beast's number is 666; in Hebrew, Nero's name adds up to 666. The beast is an awful character; Nero had a beastly character. The beast made war with the saints for 42 months; Nero persecuted Christians for three and a half years. The beast dies by the sword; Nero killed himself with a dagger. The beast is red; Nero had a red beard, which was very unusual in those times. Evidently the beast of Revelation is Nero. Remember, John told his readers, those first century Christians who lived in Asia Minor, that these things were to "shortly come to pass." We, twentieth-century Christians are not to be looking for some terrible beast to arise and bring great tribulation to believers, this has already happened during the time of Nero and the first-century Christians.

 

Then who are you? And remember what the Bible says about lying.

Van Impe's endorsement does not deserve a serious response.

Is the "homepage" in your profile not your own? If it is not your's, why are you calling it your homepage? It is Scott Branson's page.

Gematria comes in many forms. This particular form is Scott Branson's creation.

OK, here ya go: Van Impe should know better than to promote numerology.

 

Jesusmyfriend said,

"By the way Benny Hinn has not made a false prophecy for almost ten years."


For someone who believes in numerology you sure don't count too well, do you.

This thread is funnier that anything in the humor section.

 

Of course.

Actually, you may be right. When I first encountered you (whoops, I mean Scott), he claimed to be the author of them. Now that I think about it, you (I mean Scott) may have been outright lying, and I guess I should not be surprised if this is the case. In any event, the software on the site you have as *your* homepage (which is Scott's homepage) was written (or at least contracted out) by Scott. At first, he approached me to write the software for him. Initially I thought it might be sort of interesting, but I later decided I wanted no part of his numerology endeavor, so I turned him down. Scott's later actions clearly revealed I made the right decision.

I know you have "Baptist" listed in your profile, but do you realize you're in actually in a Baptist forum? How many *Baptists* (nay, any brand of Christian) that are into numerology AND know this much detail about the "English codes" AND extol Benny Hinn AND strenuously arguing against the cessation of the sign and prophetic spiritual gifts AND are extremely "shy" when it comes to revealing their identity AND gets extremely verbally abusive when challenged AND posts exactly like you have been doing? The number is extremely low. I know of only one other, and his name is Scott Branson. If you're not him, you're his virtual identical twin.

First, look at the very first post you made on the Baptist Board:
The Jesus Codes, - Not the Torah ELS Codes of TBN

Then, see if any of the following look familiar:

Check out the last two posts on this link:
Preaching Peace Forum (now extinct)

Another of Scott's feigns, under a different name:
Armageddon Online Forum (also extinct)

Yet another, see the last three posts:
End TimeZ WarriorZ

Oh looky, another:
ETIC Forums

And another, one of his more common usernames:
Ohio Paranormal Investigation Network Message Board
Surfing The Apocalypse
Dominion Group - Survival & Preparedness Forum

Also, thanks to web archiving technology:

I can provide dozens more. Sorry Scott/GracePlace/GrandFatherClock/Apostacybuster/Jesusmyfriend/etc, but the gig is up. Perhaps if you spammed less often, it would be harder to track you.

 

You know, I really wouldn't have expected you to stick around after you'd been found out, but I suppose if you actually buy into the trash you post here....you probably actually think your fooling people.

btw, our justice system has a word for Word of Faiths doctrine: Fraud

 

We used to play a game as a kid called I got a secret....Jesusmyfriend just lost everyone knows his little secert. Jude 4 applies greatly to this troll, heretic or whatever other term you could biblically apply

 

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Using the number codes and my real name, the number value of my first and last name is 666!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What should I do?!?
I am dead serious BTW, no joke!

Number codes

 

But actually bro, or sis, if you really take what you type seriously (which I realize there is a slim chance that is the case) you have our heartfelt pity. You have bought into lies, very horrible rotten lies spun to relieve you of the money in your wallet.

That is why none of us here takes it seriously. We realize how much of a lie all this is. It glares at us plain as day. If you really do take this stuff seriously, and are willing to give us a chance with an open and humble heart to learn what we know, I have no doubt that everyone here will humbly show you (without personally attacking you as you are the victim, not the enemy) what is wrong with the Word of Faith cult, and why it really is fraud. Anyone who is willing to humbly learn truth is treated with great respect and anyone who has been decieved by a false prophet (or 2) has our heartfelt sympathy as they make their way to learning truth.

But if you are only willing to continue in a pattern of manipulation (going back and forth from verbal assualt to "woe is me" posts), it truly is best for you not to post here, because your not going to get what your looking for.

Bro. Adam

 

I can't figure out why anyone would want to defend Benny Hinn. Anyone who scams millions for an orphanage in Mexico, then turns around and spends those millions on a his own home in California is nothing more than a scam artist.

 

Bach doesn't use the "code" you're passing off here. The musical number system has to do with placement of pitch on a measure. It doesn't "replace" a letter with a number.

 

Whoever said that "numbers never lie" lied.

You can manipulate numbers in so many ways it can make your head spin--which is what Jack Van Impe's head has been doing for years.

P.S. Who is BB member #666?

 

I did a search Tim and it said there is no such member number or they haven't posted in a certain amount of time. I bet webmaster thought ahead on that one.
