Hi All,

| I don't ever remember hearing about that, but I heard that the
| Babylonian numbering system is based on 6 and is as follows:
| 
| A=6
| B=12

<etc. snip>

I think the actual scripture says, "six and threescore and six" or
something like that.  So, shouldn't we be more concerned about patterns
like 6-60-6 rather than 6-6-6, which doesn't fully express the actual
scripture?


Just a thought...
