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. 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. (Seeing this is - excepting three or so (still) draft blogposts - my 666th blogpost across my eightsome blogsites, what else could I post herein at this particular point in time?)

Except to add that it's very appropriate to do so at a time when conspiracy theorists with a fairly superficial approach to, and surface reading of the Scriptures, especially the Book of Revelation, are fairly running rampant with the perennial digital imprint theory of things...aka the likes of Bill Gates, no less...

But sorry to disillusion y'all. folks, the devil's a far more cunning and subtle, much craftier foe than that...

...but as for the world presently facing its biggest financial downturn/reverse in 150 years, though that might be pushing it, certainly we're globally facing the greatest depression, surely, since the Great Depression itself...

And as for the use of boycotts to effect 'community' will, one need surely look no further than the latest daily news to see that sort of thing coming to the fore more and more...

"But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day."

'When first constrained to separate from the English Church, the Puritans had joined themselves together by a solemn covenant, as the Lord's free people, "to walk together in all His ways made known or to be made known to them." Here was the true spirit of reform, the vital principle of Protestantism. It was with this purpose that the Pilgrims departed from Holland to find a home in the New World... John Robinson, their pastor, who was providentially prevented from accompanying them, [then] said: I charge you before God and His blessed angels to follow me no farther than I have followed Christ, If God should reveal anything to you by any other instrument of His, be as ready to receive it as ever you were to receive any truth of my ministry; for I am very confident the Lord hath more truth yet to shine forth out of His holy word." Were we as willing in this our day of brightest midday sunlight to do as much!

'The Last TRUMP', 'the TRUMP of God' as 'Thus Spake' [the composers and compilers of] the 'King James Bible', 'the Authorized Version' five-some centuries ago now...

Yes, he - apparently - is  (depending, admittedly, upon how you happen to *read/understand/interpret these particular Scriptures) *And, sure, I'd never ever claim this as a biblical truism, much less declare to folk that the inclusion of selfsame scriptures  absolutely indicates anything at all  ('beyond' the printed page')... but I do consider it mighty interesting, to say the least...

"And as it was in the days of Noe [sic], so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married...they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe [sic] entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed."

[And therefore] take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come upon the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man."
