What's going to happen tomorrow?

Nothing unusual, that's what.

Tomorrow, as I'm sure you're all well aware is June 6, 2006 or 06-06-06. I've heard folks predicting something Satanic will happen because of the infamous 666, after the number of the beast, noted in Revelation 13:18.

Funny isn't it how folks don't want to take Revelation seriously until something comes up like this coincidental date. This number, 666, prophetically has no significance, YET.

So when will it? Good question. Let's take a look at this passage, Revelation 13:11-18:

The Beast out of the Earth
11Then I saw another beast, coming out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon. 12He exercised all the authority of the first beast on his behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. 13And he performed great and miraculous signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to earth in full view of men. 14Because of the signs he was given power to do on behalf of the first beast, he deceived the inhabitants of the earth. He ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15He was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. 16He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, 17so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.
18This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666.
(NIV)

The first beast mentioned is the Antichrist. The second beast is his right hand man, known as the false prophet. Apparently the antichrist will be killed and come back to life, sometime during the future seven year period known as the tribulation, imitating what Jesus already has done. A statue will be erected in the antichrist's honor and the false prophet will require everyone to worship it. Around this same time, the false prophet will require everyone to be marked with the 666 on the right hand or forehead, in order to buy or sell anything.


Where will I be when this happens? Not here, I'll tell you. Where will YOU be??

actually, considering that this whole and of the world scenario sounds like the halucinagenic ramblings of someone who ate one too many funny mushrooms, I won't be anywhere, becuase it sill never come to pass.

You just go about your business praying to the sky king that your body will magically rise up through the clouds, I, on the other hand, will keep living.

AG: I know where you'll be, based on current circumstances:

1) First in line to get the "mark of the beast" and happy to be there, too.

2) true, your body may be dead and decomposing when this happens- but afterall, this kind of death is not permanent, only temporary. At some point, you'll get a new body which will be reunited with your soul and a one way ticket to go swimming in the lake of fire...

While your body is decomposing, your soul will be someplace else, and it won't be fun for you.

true, I do complain when it's cold. However, I won't be joining you on your visit to the lake...

Considering that the current date might not be the real date and for more seriously, dates are human, not God-based, nothing will happen against God's will. No matter what the date is.
If anything should happen on 06-06-06, those events are completely due to mankind.

How arrogant-isn't there something in that book you love about those who assume they will be spared won't and vice versa or something to that effect?
