In The Book of Revelation (13:17-18 ) the number 666 is used to refer to the number of the beast who in itself was a man. The bible depicts him coming out of the earth and although his overall appearance is not described, it is said that the beast had "two horns like a lamb", and he spoke "like a dragon". He is described as being able to perform great things such as making fire come down out of Heaven. This beast is also called the false prophet. It is declared that anyone who does not worship the beast would be killed.

  • Blasphemous Names Used In The Book Of Revelation

    The first beast in the Book of Revelation represents the Roman Empire. It is stated in the Book of Revelations that upon the heads of the beast were blasphemous names. According to many scholars, the blasphemous names represent the Roman emperors, who were called divus or sabastos, which are words used to refer to divinity. In other words, they exalted themselves to the level of God. For example, Nero, a Roman emperor known for his persecution of early Christians and personal debaucheries, called himself “The Savior of the World,” on the coins that were minted while he ruled.

  • The Devil's Archamithic Setting

    376 Words  | 2 Pages

    In my book The Devil 's Archamithic the time of the setting is around 1940 during the holocaust. The setting is important because it shows if the place is happy or sad. For example when Hannah and someone else was walking in the street and a Nazi soldier comes up to them “You have to come with me” they have little choice but they have to go with the nazi soldier, Hannah is the only one that knows what is going to happen to them. She tries to tell her friend we have to go leave if we don 't them we will be killed, but her friend does not listen so she goes with the soilder This shows that the mood during this book in this section is sad because it is explaining that they might die if they go with the soldier but they do anyway.

    “The Devil and Tom Walker” and “The Devil and Daniel Webster”-- these Faust legends tell stories of ordinary men with thirsts for wealth and luck only in exchange for their very souls.

  • Allusions In The Island Of Dr Moreau

    1997 Words  | 8 Pages

    Throughout H.G. Wells’s short novel, The Island of Doctor Moreau (1896), the assortment of Biblical allusions creates an underlying religious tone that can be discovered by reading between the lines of the novel. Doctor Moreau’s creations, the Beast Folk, often quote the Law, an eerily spiritual mantra that advises the creatures to not go on all fours, eat flesh or fish, or chase other men (Wells 114). These fundamental principles of the Law, which the Beast Folk tenaciously obey, embody basic humanistic traits required for civilization. Their eternal search for authority and the meaning of life, the basis of most religions throughout the world, reveals their spiritual tendencies through their actions as well as their words. The Beast Folk’s
