Today it is being reported that McCoy's crisps are being recalled as pieces of plastic have been found in some of the bags. It appears that the offending items all have a best before date of 15th June 2013 and a production code of 3066. Whilst not wanting to make a fool of oneself here, as I don't really subscribe to some forms of "numerology", it seems quite uncanny that the individual digits of the best before date, when added, give 666. Not only that, the 15th of June is the 166th day of the year, with 199 remaining. (mail on line)
Again, not wanting to make a fool of oneself, it's maybe worth noting the band, Fields of the Nephilim, fronted by an Aleister Crowley inspired, Carl McCoy, and their 2013 UK tour named Revelations. (Fields of the Nephilim)

Note that 616 was the original number of the beast before the KJV. Or so I am led to believe.

Perfect synchronicity!
Did you hear, Glencoe in the news AGAIN today?
;-)
Aye, it's getting time to be self sufficient, perhaps ?
cheers
I just looked in my 1526 Tyndale Bible and the number of the beast is 666, not 616.
McCoy from Star Trek might have said ' Beam Me Up Scotty ' , adding a resurrection feel to the occasion :)
Rangers win promotion on Easter weekend.
616 = HThVRH, ' The Torah ', which possibly if wee Jamesy was a Qabalist might be something he wouldn't wish to reveal, even though it is written in my KJV [ published 1904] in the margin, informing the reader that ' some ancient authorities read six hundred and sixteen '.
But of course many couldn't read in those times
cheers
Hiya John, have you got the numbers the wrong way round, ie does the Tyndale say 616, not James' 666, like the next comment suggests ?
Moon, thanks, re Star Trek, the chief engineer was Scottish. I'd forgotten about McCoy. I am led to believe that "wee Jamesy" was indeed a Qabalist, or was certainly highly influenced by such matters.
cheers to you both.
No it clearly says "sixe hondred threscore and sixe".
Here it is online. Revelation 13:18

That's great John, sorry I got a bit confused after the next comment.
cheers
Any idea who the 'ancient authorities' may be - was the NewTestament not written in Greek, their alphabet also had corresponding numerical attributions.
Anyhow 616 = 8x77
cheers
