Really? Where? :D

[The Central Scrutinizer]

I think the real story here is NOT that the 7 headed beast fell from the sky, but instead that there is a 7 headed beast to begin with.

Was he/she hurt?

Hehe.

You haven't lived until you've pented.

Of course I've never clined, duced, port or mained.

There's more but no sense in getting carried away

More importantly, was there a head count?

[The Central Scrutinizer]

Maybe the beast was trying to get ahead.

I've heard a lot of bad puns, but this one tops them all.

[evildave]

I've heard worse.

An old Russian couple is bickering as they walk down the street.

Wife: "It's sleeting!"

Man: "It's raining!"

Wife: "It's sleeting!"

Man: "Wait, there's Rudy from the Communist party. He will tell us!"

Man: "Is it raining, or is it snowing?"

Rudolph: "Raining."

The man's wife starts to disagree, and he cute her off: "Rudolf the red knows rain, dear."

"The seven periods [heads] are from the time of the Last Adam, or the beginning of recorded history. There is a greater seven and we are in the fifth head of this long time period. We are in the seventh head of this lesser cycle." So the seven heads are periods of time...well not quite according to other scholars.

Most commentators agree that the Beast imagery in Revelation shifts between the generic and the specific. This is important to grasp: sometimes the Beast represents a kingdom, sometimes a particular, individual leader of that kingdom. Shifts? It shifts? How the hell can we know what it is if it shifts? Nudge nudge, wink wink we all know what it says...that is until a shuttle crashes then nudge nudge, wink wink, we all knew that it wasn't what we originally said.


At some places the one Beast has seven heads, which are seven kings collectively considered. In Revelation 13:1 John notes that he "saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads". Revelation 17:10 specifically notes that the seven heads represent "seven kings." Thus, the Beast is generically portrayed as a kingdom. Does the shuttle have a horn? I'm sure that if we look long enough we can find some meaning for the 10 horns.

But in the very same contexts the Beast is spoken of as an individual, as one of the heads, as a particular part of the generic whole. John urges his readers to "calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man" (Rev. 13:18). In Revelation 17:11 the interpretive angel tells John and his readers "the beast which was and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is one of the seven." This feature is recognized by most commentators of various schools of interpretation, including even dispensationalists. So now we are back to time. Which is it, kingdoms or time?

Let us now turn to consider this seven-headed Beast. In Revelation 17 a vision of the seven-headed Beast is recorded. Regarding this vision we read in verses 9 and 10: "Here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space." 5, not 7 but five have fallen. Oh well it sounded good at first.

From where are you getting these quotes?? And what the hell do they mean???

Umm, it was from a joke site. Might have been the forums from "Sick Twisted Jokes (http://sickjokes.miningco.com/)".

[American]

They come from the LORD (http://www.jesus-is-lord.com/), revealed through our Saviour EMMANUELLE (http://www.reel.com/movie.asp?MID=41188). We are witness to His WORKS (http://www.reel.com/movie.asp?MID=1266).


The ten horns are represented by the multi-national crew, the Ten Tribes of Israel: New World American, East and West Eurasian, Turkish, Mongoloid, Negroid, Hasidic, Hindu, Irish, and Woman.

[Sanamas]

Women were a tribe of Israel? Why haven't I heard anything about the Jewish Amazons before?

Whoa, whoa. "Woman" counts as a separate tribe. That's a slightly sexist view.

...the demon shell carry a nine-bladed sword! Nine-bladed! Not two, or five, or seven, but nine, which he will wield on all wretched sinner-sinners, just like you sir, there! And the horns shall be on the head...

I don't know if you are talking to me but again I fail to cite my references.

The source of the "beast with seven heads" is from the bible and the commentary that I posted was from two sources. I note that scholars do not agree as to what is meant by the prediction. Of course NO one said before today that it was about a space shuttle. That's the nice thing about predictions we can wait unitl something "fits" and then claim a success.

The Beast of Revelation Identified (http://www.iei.net/~doghouse/beast_id.htm)

I forgot the other reference but google beast with seven heads and you will get loads of hits. Many of them contradictory. Isn't that great about "the word". Everything in it is debated.

Hey, like I said, you look hard enough... It's true that their are references to horns and the tribes of Israel.

But American, just one little problem. There WERE 12 tribes (www.biblestudy101.org/Lists/12tribes.html) And the scriptures said that "5" had fallen.

So that's what this whole thread is about??? A bible prediction? No wonder it doesn't make any sense.

WHAT'S THAT ON THE ROAD? A HEAD?

Sorry, couldn't resist. Not that I've ever sisted before.

I'm convinced they're a separate species.

Well, it certainly didn't take long for Nostradamus (http://www.snopes2.com/inboxer/hoaxes/shuttle.asp) to poke his head in here.

I've never been ashamed of the Gospel. But I've sure as hell been embarassed as hell by what people do in the name of it. American is, unfortunately, right. Betcha yesterday, there was a whole host of preachers stating the THE END IS NEAR!

Betcha your glad you weren't there...

Betcha I'm glad I wasn't either...

I think we should have a contest to predict what stupid thing Jerry Falwell will have to say about this.

C'mon, you know there's a moronic sound-bite from him in our immediate future.

I'm sure gays and lesbians and our decline in moral fiber are to blame.

Probably that damn gay teletubby.

Seven heads, eh? Boy, that is alot of heads.

So just what is this beast anyway?

It sounds like it at least equal to two and one-third Ghidrah units.

Maybe someone should make a run to Monster Island and ask Gammera to lend a foreclaw.

:p

[c4ts]

Gammera will stop it. Gamerra is friend of all children.

Too bad both of them put together are barely an appetizer for mighty Cthulhu.

Pick a misspelling and stick with it. :D

It's GAMERA and I think he's going to need Mothra's help.

We are filled with shame.

Okay evy-body!!! Clap your hands and dance the Save the Earth dance from Godzilla versus the Smog Monster. . . .

I am sorry, what the topic of this thread serious?

Not a gay teletubby! But Spongebob is to blame!!!!!

He makes children plunge into the sea! (http://www.snopes.com/horrors/parental/spongebob.htm)

And he's hanging out with Tinky Winky! (http://online.wsj.com/article_email/0,,SB1034028869241478240,00.html)

And to think, during the '96 elections, I was saying that Bob Dole was so mean, he made Falwell look like a Teletubbie...

I think you will find that the literal translation is the "Beast with seven SHEDS". And I believe refers to Big Dave's Outhouse Mart and his generally disgusting eating habits.

Gemorrah, and while we are on the subject Sodom too!

Sorry but I think you are in error.

I'm pretty sure it's 'The Beast With Seven Keds" but as with all things biblical you can't take it too literally. I'm pretty sure they mean athletic footwear in general.

[TexasBEAST]

I have not "fallen". I was chillin' right here all along.

As far as that "7 heads" nonsense, I suppose if you counted up all my moles and freckles, they might add up to 7. Dangdest thing to call them "kingdoms", though.

All you peons of this pathetic little planet, bow down and praise me. I command you.

Perhaps a condemnation of our atheistic search for knowledge. We should not know the mind of God, we are like Icarus from ancient mythology, etcetc.

And how did the thing stay in the air in the first place? I would like to meat this beastie, and have a talk with it on anti-gravity physics, which presumably it can understand because it has sevn heads.

How would it know where it is heading? Down I presume.

Q. A cattle rancher gave his ranch to his three boys. Why did he call it the Focus Ranch?

A. Because it's where the sons raise meat.

That is not a problem, for with the LORD, all things are POSSIBLE.

It is POSSIBLE for me to type this sentence standing up, and it is also POSSIBLE that I am typing this sentence while sitting down. Through the LORD, it is POSSIBLE for me to type this sentence while standing up and sitting down (for all things are POSSIBLE). The TRUTH is that I am sitting down and typing this and not standing up. Therefore, it follows that the POSSIBILITY that I am standing up is not TRUE, and the POSSIBILITY that I am simultaneously standing and sitting is not TRUE.

Therefore, all things that are POSSIBLE though the LORD or otherwise, are not necessarily TRUE. Revalations remains a steaming pile of holy bullsh*t.
