666

The number "666" follows me
Not that it bothers me all that much
After all, it IS just a number
It appears as the last digits on my college I.D
Even the CAPTCHA has shown me the three digits
Many instances I have seen it face to face
As if numbers had a face!
I've never been bothered by it,
But really?
Why do I see it all around me?

This number is just to reveal man is the beast that goes against God,. If we have not been transformed into a Child of God then one is the beast of this world , You my friend have been given a gift to help reveal this. God has to allow mankind to keep up all this foolishness so mankind in a whole will be broken down , mankind is what destroys this earth from there seperation from God ,

it takes God in our life to reveal these things and His word to see what is going on around us and what He placed within those that seek and receive the spirit that gives knowledge and wisdom not of this world

Ooooh I had to check this one out. You know it's really weird, me and my mom's number has this 3 digits...but you're right it's just a number and I'm not a superstitious person anyway...but the title reminds me of a great song though 'The Number of the Beast' by Iron Maiden. Loved your work.

oooooh, that is kinda scary!! Do you know your numerology? If you have lots of 6's in your chart, that means this would be a GOOD thing. I have lots of 5's and I love when my 5's are vibrating around me. 6, in numerology, is the sign of a charming, magnetic and talented personality.

However, you are making me think of all the dark stuff in my own life which is now fun to think about because I have crossed over after much work. I may write something about the dark side and dedicate it to you if I can work it out. It's another project--and all because of you.

Awwww thank you! You are truly a kind light to have shined upon me! I appreciate your meaningful comments. Always, Laura

This is interesting, you are expressing your vulnerability "not all that much". Your window on the dark side is both a gift and a burden. Like everything, it has its pros and cons. My broadcast of light to you is like the concentric rings a pebble makes on a pond. Modulated with good thoughts because you are a very special poet. I will continue reading your work and communicating as long as you are willing, When I get motivated, I will write something, I have had only fragments lately.

you are right Laura, it is only a number, used extensively by the ancients to create evil, to force us to believe in their powers, you have God's Blessing, one can read it here on soup, under the name, Laure Breidenthal
