In order to bring about global government, the NWO needs a cataclysmic event to take place, AND it has to happen "by the numbers." But when it comes to the "Beast," only one particular number will do...and that number is 666 --as foretold in the Book of Revelation.

June 7th 2004 is exactly 999 days after September 11th.
(999 is the same as a 666 if you were to ask your local occultist. “As above, so below.”)

Out of the ashes of disaster arises the Phoenix - the birth of the New World Order. Phoenix City is another nickname for the city of Chicago.


In an article I wrote on April 8th., there were certain numbers involved with 4-19 and 911 --which kept repeating themselves over and over again.

Sears 4/19: By the Numbers,
Part Zero, “The Article That Started it All”

For a refresher, those numbers were 4, 11,
(and any multiple of 11) and 13.

That article highlighted a possible threat to the Sears Tower, Chicago on April 19th, 2004 --based on the numerology and the fact that date was exactly 911 hours after the 3/11 Madrid train bombing on March 11th, 2004. And the Madrid bombing was exactly 911 days after the 11th September, 2001 attacks.

In the event, nothing momentuous happened on April 19th. Except that early that morning a chemical bomb plot against the Sears Tower was minimally reported in mainstream news:

Dirty Bomb Plot on Sears Tower – 4-19-2004
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=38093

If what I wrote pertaining to the Sears Tower on 4/19 was true – even remotely true – then what is about to follow will pale in comparison.

666 is world socialism headed by world government and total enslavement and control over humanity – complete control, complete synthesis, completely man made, completely manufactured by the hands and minds of man.

Six is the number of man, and world government – the “Utopia,” for those who’ve stood long and have been waiting centuries for, is supposed to be the finishing ultimate peak of man’s accomplishments.

In actuality it is man’s ultimate conquest – the total control of all natural and living things condensed into “the One.”

No man can become “the One,” but men have conspired for centuries to sit on God’s throne to become “the One,” here on Earth in the form of the Anti-Christ. I think those long awaited for plans drawn up thousands of years ago are about to come to a head, literally. The headpiece – top of the pyramid, is about to drop.

The pinnacle of man's accomplishments would be world government, which is basically social engineering on a mass scale - complete control of the world – all of mankind and nature. The weather is already controlled.

Our natural crops are being destroyed and the entire food chain is being manipulated by SCIENCE….those “enLIGHTened,” thinkers who think they can control the world and play God….which they’ve been trying to do since we arrived on this planet. (Lucifer = Light)

Problem (6) Reaction (6) Solution (6)....or

Thesis (6) Anti-thesis (6) and Synthesis (6)

The "solution," that will be offered to the people or the synthesis after a devastating attack would be world government to fight the "global," war on terror.

Hence, there would be an induced need/want for “global government,” in order to combat the “global threat,” of terrorism.

I just like to call it tic (6) tac (6) toe (6), three in a row….OKC, 911…. Now we’re just waiting for the third hammer to fall. (Trifecta)

It needs a catalyst in order to set things in motion. It has to be carried out perfectly – by the numbers.

The 911th day since September 11th was March 11th
(3/11, Spain attacks)

Add another 88 days to make 999 brings us to June 7th 2004 6-7-2004

20 days after 3-11 to end March
30 days in April
31 days in May
7 days in June = 88 days 911+88 = 999

June 6th, 2004 would be considered a 666 as well…

6 + 6 + 2+0+0+4 = 18 = 9

June 7th numerically = 6+7+2+0+0+4 = 19

(19 is the most sacred and revered number to all Muslims around the world. Remember, evil has no race or religious preferences…)

***June 19th is exactly 1011 days after September 11th

6-19-2004 = 6+1+9+2+0+0+4 = 22 = 4

Two days, the 6th and 7th of June both carry significant importance because of their occult meaning. June 6th, (666) would be considered the labor period of giving birth to the Beast, due on the 7th of June, 999 days after September 11th.

9 has always been the number of Satan, for it always returns back to itself.
9 is the farthest away number from the One.

June 20th is the summer solstice this year...which is exactly 13 days after June 7th

Summer Solstice in 2004, summer begins June 20, 8:57 P.M. EDT (June 21, 00:57 UT*)

From May 1st until June 7th is exactly 38 days (11) after May Day, which is also the satanic holiday called Beltane.

6th+7th of June = 13

Yes, the numbers are repeating themselves again. Except this time, the numbers take on a whole new meaning. 4-19 had nothing associated with 18. (666 =18).

This time, the numbers that keep repeating themselves are the same as before, 4, 11, 13, with the addition of:

18, 6, 9 and also (to a lesser extent) the mysterious number 7

June 7th is the 999th day after the 9/11 attacks.

After April 19th until June 7th is exactly 49 days....4+9 = 13

4x9 = 36 = 9

Revelation Chapter 13

13:1
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. (10+10+7 = 27 = 9 or 1+1+7 = 9)

13:4
And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him?

13:5
And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

6th x7th = 42 = (6x7) = 6 June *(Remember 42)

13:7
And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

13:11
And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon.

(There are 2 beasts: One being the man, the other his ultimate creation of world government. I would call the Beast world government, and its leader the Anti-Christ.)

13:16
And he caused all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

13:17
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

13:18 (1+3+1+8 = 13 = 4)

Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. 666

2x3x3 = 18 = 9
6x6x6 = 216 = 9
6+6+6 = 18 = 9

Revelation chapter 13 has 18 verses.

4 9 = (4 x 9 = 36 = 6 x 6)

THE 999 SYSTEM IS FULLY OPERATIONAL

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/532114/posts

People are not aware of how OCCULT NUMBERS and SYMBOLOGY work in their lives and how they are merged into occult systems without their knowledge or their consent. The 999 system has been with us for some time, and is broken down into three main parts:

BANKING TRACKING NUMBERS

Most people are not aware that on the bottom of their checks, on the LEFT HAND SIDE there will be NINE DIGITS, and these NINE DIGITS are the most important numbers on your check – for they allow that check to move through the entire Federal Reserve System. They are the TRACKING NUMBERS assigned to your account by the SYSTEM ITSELF. They allow the Fed to track your check all the way through the system – so it does not get lost or confused with others in the system.

These NINE DIGIT NUMBERS are in addition to your CHECKING ACCOUNT NUMBER, which is a number given to you by your local bank. That allows the bank to identify you and your checking account.

YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER

Your Social Security number is a NINE DIGIT NUMBER – and it is now expanding its role in the identification of all people. The Military now uses social security numbers as ID numbers, as do many states for driver’s licenses, banks for checking accounts.

Social Security numbers, coupled with BIO-METRIC IDENTIFICATION, will be used in the final system to identify you. When originally issued, the Social Security card stated right on them NOT TO BE USED FOR IDENTIFICATION. That was a bald faced lie of the government, who knew perfectly well the concept behind Social Security was to eventually expand and be used to bring all facets of your life under that ID NUMBER for tracking. The Social Security Administration has openly stated they want a BIRTH TO DEATH TRACKING SYSTEM, and their number system is it. The Bible agrees – your Social Security number is the NUMBER OF YOUR NAME. It contains NINE DIGITS.

YOUR ZIP CODES

If you will look at your post office ZIP CODES, you will find they are NINE DIGITS. These are designed to track you to your exact place of residence or P.O. Box. The ZIP CODE IS A LOCATOR NUMBER for an address. As people who are living in modern society know, the POST OFFICE is used for mailing all sorts of bills, etc. It would be difficult to function in modern life without it. You cannot obtain a Post Office Box without giving a real address to the Post Office. Unknown to the public, the Post Office has IDENTIFICATION CARDS that are marked "FOR EMERGENCY USE ONLY". These are stored in the back of EVERY U.S. POST OFFICE IN AMERICA. What is their function? When a national emergency is finally declared, as it WILL BE, every MAN, WOMAN AND CHILD, will be FORCED UNDER MARTIAL LAW TO REGISTER AT THEIR LOCAL POST OFFICE. This will provide the new GOVERNMENT SECURITY FORCES to locate, arrest and round-up anyone on their so called "red" or "blue" lists, such as those who believe in God, the Bill of Rights or the Constitution. If you do not believe it, YOU WILL.

These three systems combined form a SYSTEM OF TRACKING AND CONTROL. They are all comprised of NINE DIGITS, or 999. They are all involved in MAMMON and THE SPIRIT OF MAMMON, for they all, in one way or the other, ARE INVOLVED IN YOUR FINANCES.

Indeed, the SPIRIT OF MAMMON is working its work in the world.
Now 9 is an upside down 6 or a reversal in that sense of the word, which is why UPC BAR CODES use the number 666.

That way the SCANNER at your stores can read it right side up or upside down. Remember that in the end times, A REVERSAL TAKES PLACE, and all ethical and moral values are TURNED UPSIDE DOWN OR REVERSED, so that good becomes evil, darkness becomes light, love becomes hate, etc.

"As above, so below"

http://home.online.no/~luneng/999.html

This wisdom is reflected with the numbers 6 and 9; the number 6 seen from above is 9 and 9 seen from above is 6. Nostradamus knew this when he dated the end of time to 999. (Remark: At the time when Nostradamus lived it was a custom to write the year without the 1000, i.e. they wrote 666 instead of 1666, and so on.)

And since the end of time cannot be predicted as to Mt: 24: 34, Nostradamus’ "end of time" prediction has nothing to do with the year 1999. Still it has a relation and that is to the seal of Solomon; "as above (999), so below (666)". Nostradamus knew that in a numerological sense the Bible speaks of the same revelation:

666 = 6+6+6 = 18 = 1+8 = 9
999 = 9+9+9 = 27 = 2+7 = 9

Experts fear ‘dirty bomb’ attack in U.S., Europe
Sun May 9, 9:40 AM ET (9+4 = 13 = 4)

Concerns are growing that Al Qaeda or a related group could detonate a "dirty bomb" that would spew radioactive particles across an American or European city, according to intelligence analysts, diplomats and independent nuclear experts.

History of 1818

1818 An official reopening of the White House took place after being repaired from burning by British during War of 1812.

1818 Congress decided the flag of the United States would consist of 13 red and white stripes and 20 stars, with a new star to be added for every new state of the Union.

1818 Karl Marx, German philosopher, was born in Prussia.

1818 American patriot Paul Revere, one of 13 children died in Boston.

1818 The United States and Britain established the 49th Parallel as the boundary between Canada and the United States. 4+9 = 13 = 4

1818 - 1776 = *42 = (6x7) = 6

42 Months to Glory

The Antichrist is Coming
http://www.icnet.net/users/lsimmons/42m14.htm

The Beast receives authority for 42 months over "every tribe and people and tongue and nation.”

The satanic law of reverse symbolism and reverse numbers would mean 24 and 42 are the same. They both equal 6, just like 666 is the same as 999 to an occultist.

2004 - 1887 = 117 = 9

2001 - 1887 = 114 = 6

1887 - 1865 = 22 years after Lincoln was shot = 4

1887 - 1818 = 69 = 15 = 6

1887 - 1776 = 111

1887 - 999 = 888 = 24 = 6

1887 - 666 = 1221 = 6

None of that would save the Blackwater Security Consulting convoy from disaster around 10:30 a.m. Wednesday.

The four Americans on board were ripped apart by withering gunfire practically before they knew what hit them, their grisly deaths the most dramatic episode on a day when a total of nine Americans were killed in Iraq's hostile Sunni triangle.

In an act of savagery shocking even by the blood-soaked standards of Iraq's worst trouble spot, the bodies of the four men inside the vehicles were beaten, burned, hacked at and then dragged through the streets of Fallujah.

But there was worse to come: As a crowning glory for the insurgent gunmen, the remains of two charred and mangled corpses were hung from a green iron bridge across the Euphrates River.

"The people of Fallujah hanged some of the bodies on the old bridge like slaughtered sheep," resident Abdul Aziz Mohammed said gleefully.

Double Zero is a game where you bash small bricks with a telephone bouncing around the screen. The game contains 33 levels pested with a lot of baddies flying and crawling around the screen. ----------

The modern version of Roulette, with a single “0” was introduced by Frenchmen Francois and Louis Blanc in 1842. This game was brought to America in the early 1800s but the single “0” modification was rejected and the double “0” version became standard, leading to two versions of Roulette; single “0” European Roulette and double “0” American Roulette.

Recognizing that the double-zero Roulette wheel doubled the house percentage over the single-zero wheel, the denizens of The Big Easy reasoned that they could triple their cut by adding a third symbol to the wheel, an American eagle. Customers shunned the game and its impossible odds. The eagle symbol was then removed, and the double-zero wheel became the nation’s standard. After more than two centuries, the double-zero wheel is still referred to as The American Roulette Wheel.

Pairs of consecutive numbers of the same color: Black “4” and Black “33,” total 37. (There are two exceptions: The Black 28 [adjacent to the “0”] and the Red “9” next to it total 37; and the Red “27” [adjacent to the “00”] and the Black 10 next to it total 37.)

Quite amazingly, the designer of the American wheel is unknown. One would think that the person creating such a clever arrangement would have gained notoriety.

An international icon of American engineering genius, the Golden Gate Bridge opened in 1937 and remains one of the longest suspension bridges in the world.

Science Correspondent, The Telegraph - UK

For six hours on June 8, the small, intense silhouette of the Earth's sister planet will edge slowly across the disk of the sun. No living person has seen a transit of Venus, one of the rarest events of the astronomical calendar. The last took place in December 1882 and there have been just six since the invention of the telescope.

Prof Gordon Bromage, of the University of Central Lancashire and spokesman for the Royal Astronomical Society, said: "Something wonderful, something marvelous is happening on June 8 and will be witnessed and experienced by millions of people all over the world. It is an extremely rare astronomical event."

Next month's transit will begin shortly after sunrise at 6.20am when the sun hovers low above the eastern horizon. It will take about 20 minutes from "first contact" until the planet is fully silhouetted.

(6:20 am is in the 6th hour of the day)

Venus is sometimes described as the Earth's twin sister. The two planets are similar in size, mass and composition and are neighbors in the inner solar system.

However, Venus is one of the most inhospitable planets of them all. It is covered with thick clouds of sulpher and sulphuric acid, its atmospheric pressure is 90 times that of Earth and, thanks to a runaway greenhouse effect, its surface temperatures reach 450C.

It will also be observed by the SOHO observatory which studies the sun and sits 940,000 miles from the Earth. It will observe the planet passing in front of the sun's corona, or outer atmosphere.
