Dear angela1111,
I just gave a seven week series on Revelations. The point I continually tried to make is that it doesn't matter. If somehow this is all leading you to God then it doesn't matter. I would never want to start any Christian in Revelations, I start them with Genesis. The issue for each of us is what do we want our lives to mean, who do we want to be?
I don't care who the anti-Christ is, I am responsible for me. I don't care when the world will end, I care about how I live my life and the choices I make. The number one question that should be in everyone's life is are you being the person that you could live with being for eternity? Even an atheist must eventually ask himself the same question, what do you want to mean? Peace.

The number 999 is the reverse of 666, the number of the Beast of the Revelation (Apocalypse). This arithmetical strangeness demonstrates that the "power" of the Beast, 666, will be "reversed" by 153, characteristic number of the Christ, to give as result 999, symbol of the application of the divine justice. Thus Satan will be chained for 1000 years, 999 + 1.
Look like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, yes

Dear SisyphusRide,

This is a great question. While the end times are referenced in the Old Testament (Daniel for instance), Revelations itself is a purely Christian book and not accepted in Judaism. The Jewish religion anticipates the coming of the Messiah and his ruling on earth which is discussed in Revelations also. So I guess you get a mixed answer, yes, they would agree that some things discussed in Revelations is true and not accept other parts. What is also interesting is that the Muslims also believe in a coming Messiah and a final battle.
my mixed question came from wondering why some are trying to figure it out with math..
Revelations itself is a purely Christian book . . .
