Message-ID: Date: 28 Apr 91 22:46:18 GMT Sender: hedrick@athos.rutgers.edu Lines: 8 Approved: christian@aramis.rutgers.edu To identify who/what is the beast of 666 - the approach I prefer to take is to search the relevent texts for all the criteria by which to identify the beast power of prophecy. 666 is only one item on a long check list. While you might be able get Ronald to add up to 666 he fails on most if not all of the other criteria. So, 666 is hardly the crutial deciding factor by which to ID the beast. Dave (David E. Buxton)
