Re: What does 777 mean?


My first tattoo was actualy 777 on my chest. At the time (brand new babes in Christ) my wife and I could have sworn we read that 777 stood for The Father, The Son & The Holy Spirit. Afterwards, however, we either couldn't find the book or forgot where we saw it. So for us (my wife got an angel with the 7's over it's head at the same time) it's a God honoring thing.

Re: What does 777 mean?


666 was the number of a man - Emperor Nero. He's long dead, so all the superstition attached to this number is ridiculous - both for Christians who fear it, and for those hostile to Christians, who use it to offend the righteous.

Re: What does 777 mean?


I have to laugh a minute. The above post, if I understand correctly, implicated Nero as 666, his number. LOL. Ok, 777 you will not find directly in the bible. Remember 7 is the number of GOD, meaning heavenly, completeness, etc... Remember for everything that is good, the old devil has a negative and will twist what is good to misguide a christian from truth. Just crack your spiritual armor just enough. His goal is not to make you a satanist, he does not have too, just twist the truth. Be careful what you believe, test it with the God's Scriptures, Prayer, and the Holy Spirit. 777 is completeness, Godly and 666 is against christ or anitichrist.
God Bless!!

Re: What does 777 mean?


Laugh if you want to, but not all serious, Bible believing Christians buy into the end-times hype promoted by the likes of Tim LaHaye and Hal Lindsey.

It's important to understand the history and context of the writing of Revelation: John was imprisoned on the Greek isle of Patmos in a period of intense Christian persecution by the Roman Empire. The climate was one of paranoia and fear, and this was heightened by rumors of Nero's return. The emperor Nero persecuted the early Christians with great insane fervor. He commited suicide when it all fell around 68AD.

In the 90'sAD rumors began to circulate that Nero was not really dead, and was returning to Rome to reclaim his throne! The early Christians were trembling in their boots - well - sandals - and John's writings were a call to arms to the Christians not to give up the fight. He sent letters to various churches to reinforce the need to stick with it, and concluded with a revelatory vision of the coming battle & how God would destroy their enemies (Rome).

There are many names and places within Revelation that are symbolic to the people to whom he was writing. Hebrew letters all have a numerical equivalent and the number "of a man" 666 was a clear reference to the Emperor Nero - 'Nero Caesar', written in its seven Hebrew consonants (transliterated as 'Neron Kaisar'), give a value of 50+200+6+50+100+60+200, which adds up to 666.

Revelation contains some colorful imagery and intense language, and that vague symbolism is what has allowed it to be constantly re-interpreted to apply to whatever age in history was current. "The mark of the beast" was initially Nero's image on coins of the time, but recently it's everything from your social security number to a barcode or a microchip implanted in you.

This is why I make fun of all the superstition surrounding 666 / 777.

Here are a couple favorite quotes to back up this strategy:

"The best way to drive out the devil, if he will not yield to texts of Scripture, is to jeer and flout him, for he cannot bear scorn." -- Luther
 
"The devil...the prowde spirit ... cannot endure to be mocked." -- Thomas More

Re: What does 777 mean?


as far as I know the one unforgiveable sin was to blasphemy the holy spirit.

in regards to the 777... If I saw someone with it, I don't think I would immediately think, oh, that must be a religious tattoo. I think I probably would just not know what it meant.

Maybe you could think of adding something more obviously christian and then there wouldn't be any doubt. just a thought.

Re: What does 777 mean?


7 is a holy number...God's number. I've always thought of 777 as being just the mocking of people using 666. I know how...in my past I used 666 a lot, to taunt people. So, 777 is kind of cool to me now. I've never heard of the 3x7 meaning anything in particular.

And I thought suicide was also unforgivable...as you can't ask for forgivness after you've commited the sin?
