My Dear Fellowmen,
Would you believe that the number of Jesus is 888?
No.
This seems to have been discovered long time ago but I just learned
this in 1994 and found it to be correct -- scientifically and with
physical proof.
Can't wait.
The name of Jesus in Greek is spelled as iota, eta, sigma, omicron,
upsilon, sigma.
I really hate to point this out, but Jesus was not Greek. He was Hebrew,
and his name was not "Jesus".
Do you know that the Greeks had a numeral system like
the Romans? The Romans used only some letters of their alphabet and
assigned values. The Greeks, on the other hand, used all the letters
of their alphabet and assigned values to each one. They actually
added three more letters since their 24-letter alphabet was
insufficient in their number system.
If we substitute the value to each letter in the name of Jesus and add
them up, the total is 888. The values are: iota=10, eta=8, sigma=200,
omicron=70, upsilon=400, sigma=200. This is the scientific proof.
Oooo. You can add.
Now the physical proof: Would you believe that this is manifested in
post office boxes? Post office box 888 is right in the middle of a
cross, that is, four boxes to the right, four to the left, four below,
and three above box 888. 888. Number of Jesus. Cross. Strange?
God has subtle ways of giving proofs.
And that would be the Post Office where? My Post Office doesn't have that
many boxes.

I was actually betting on Troll, until I looked at the web site. I'll
just go with nutter.
I do not force anyone to believe what I have discovered. The decision
is yours, not mine. The same in believing in God or not, or being
good or bad.
God bless us and protect us from harm always.
With love, your brother in Jesus,
