Imagine it like this...

A guy on an island writes a series of news letters.

An he mentions a secret code for a world leader that died 30 years prior.

But that code is not ever once linked to that guy for almost 2 thousand years.

Then, suddenly, as soon as we invent the atomic bomb someone figures out, "ohhh the bible says the devil already came!"

The passages you provided discuss the interpretation of the number 666 in the Book of Revelation. Here's a summary:

The Number 666:
Many scholars believe it refers to the Roman Emperor Nero.

This theory is supported by:
The gematria method (assigning numerical values to letters):
The Hebrew spelling of "Nero Caesar" adds up to 666.
A variant reading of the number as 616 aligns with the Greek spelling of "Nero Caesar."
This suggests the author, despite writing in Greek, had Hebrew or Aramaic influences.

The Greek of Revelation:

The Greek style in Revelation is considered unusual and possibly influenced by Hebrew or Aramaic.
This raises questions about the author's primary language and linguistic background.

Interpretation of Rev. 17:9-11:

Scholar F.F. Bruce suggests this passage reflects the perspective of Vespasian's reign.
"Five have fallen" likely refers to Roman emperors before Vespasian (Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, Nero).
Vespasian is "the sixth," and Titus, his son, is the "seventh" who reigns briefly.
"The eighth" could refer to Domitian or symbolize future emperors.
This interpretation views the passage as a symbolic pattern rather than a specific prediction.

In essence:

The number 666 is often linked to Nero, with evidence supporting this interpretation in both Hebrew and Greek.
The unique Greek style of Revelation suggests the author may have been influenced by Semitic languages.
The interpretation of Rev. 17:9-11 focuses on a pattern of Roman emperors, with Vespasian as a key figure.

Disclaimer:

The interpretation of the Book of Revelation is complex and subject to various scholarly debates.

so it's either Nero specifically, or every Emperor after Nero up to and including Hitler and American Presidents, and to be fair we are modeled after Roman society so they might of been onto something there.

all i know for certain is, it's a good band.

You know when you see a face on a rock on Mars it doesn’t mean that that face was a sculpture.. human being see patterns in things that aren’t there.

Look.

When your little Ai says that you can live forever with it, by all means go for it.

I’ll see you in a trillion years after you went mad exploring empty space.

God said that hell is literally just the absence of God it’s that you are going to live forever because of a promise of immortality and find out that your human brain was never designed to actually function after 100 years let alone 100 million.

And you will spend eternity in pain and torture of the nothingness that is the abandonment of God.

A.k.a. the emptiness of space.

Makes sense. Our brains aren’t built for immortality. I’m sick of a lot of shit already. Can’t imagine tacking on another million years

Not only is neuralLink the first thing to ever exist to be called 666 and be able to make the blind sea and the lame walk.

Something Nero was never able to do…

It’s invented right at a time when we are a con hair from replacing human beings with a much more intelligent super computer.

At no point did all of Rome even worship Nero let alone all of the world.

You just have to leave out major parts of revelation to have it be Nero.

They’re literally wouldn’t have been a reason to speak in Neuro as code 40 years after he died!

It’s not Nero.

it is "Nero" and we're on Nero 6,394 now, it was just code for "Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss" in a way that wouldn't get you killed cause you couldn't just say "this guy is a fuckin asshole" when they were shitposting on parchment

that's the cool thing about religions, they are written with heavy use of symbolism, imagery, and cryptic language, by men to fuck over other men and you can project whatever you want on the text and be correct.

btw these are totally the good guys,

don't mine the Final Fantasy final boss music that's been playing in the background since 325 AD, they totally didn't corrupt everything you think you know about God in their 1200 year reign of supremacy and don't worry about what's locked in the basement that's just some Dan Brown novel shit. and definitely don't read anything in the Apocrypha.

I can assure you that in a debate on apocrypha that I would run laps around you and your ai bot helping you form some hot takes about how god is dead and just a history book.

I find the nero arguments compelling.

But when you put them together in context you see that yeah, flat earth arguments are compelling too.

The book of revelations is an extension of the promise (that is written about without code) that jesus gave his followers.

Only people who are not his followers insist that it's not a religion, it's an old dusty book, with history written throughout it, except for the ONE part that is meant to literally be history, that's written in the future tense and only smart people will figure out that it's acdtually past tense.

Ironically, not one smart person had that idea until one thousand eight hundered years later.

Even though at the time "speaking in code" is something they claim was common (which there is no evidence for whatsoever).

There is no historical evidence indicating anyone spoke in code about any roman leaders to avoid persecution. And in the bible they mention nero's persicution. They also talk about other historical events. This would be the only one written in such abstract code.
