"And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever." -- Revelation 11:15 |
Observations and Comments
 | Notice that the last verse on the page is "6" followed by the heading for section "66." Hence 6,66. |
| Compare this phrase from section 65:5 "the Son of Man shall come down in heaven" with definition 2015 of the New Testament Lexicon (Zodhiates) "An appearing, appearance; spoken of the first advent of the Lord Jesus; used only by Paul for the second and future appearance of the Lord." Zodhiates lists one antonym for this word: "Ant.: apousia (666), absence." |
| Section 66 comes at the center of the D&C if you count section 1, the "Preface," as the beginning, and section 133, the "Appendix," as the end. Section 66 was given a week prior to section 1. Section 133 came two days after that. See Alphabetics word-number study: 66 and the Word. |
| Section 65, which takes up the bulk of the page, is a direct exposition of Daniel's vision of the stone cut out of the mountain without hands. This prophecy is not to be separated from Daniel's prophecy of the beast (same beast spoken of by John in Revelations 13) which treads down all the earth and makes war with the saints, prevailing against them, prior to the saints overcoming and the kingdom being given to them with Christ as their head. In other words, the sequence is that before the saints are triumphant in seeing the fulfillment of D&C 65, the beast first makes war with them and prevails for a time (one year), times (two years) and the dividing of time (half a year), or forty two months according to John. This is because they have not built their foundation on Jesus Christ as they ought to have done. Hence the beast, 666, prevails first. |
| Ironically, it is probably this section of the D&C, more than any other, that is the cause of so much blindness on the part of the Mormons, as they gloat in thinking that the church established by Joseph Smith will roll forward triumphant without a hitch until it fills the whole earth. Hence they are off their guard against the enemies of God and his work, and end up being deceived and overcome for this time before being delivered. |
| I can't think of a more perfectly paradoxical page to fall on 666 than this one. It fits perfectly the discoveries I have made elsewhere about the Saints actually playing into the work of Satan and being a part of his work because they fail to be vigilant as the scriptures admonish them to be. Yet out of that body will emerge a remnant who will awake and put on strength and redeem Zion. |
