Here[in] is [W]isdom. 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

As my *600th blogpost (upon my main, original two blogsites), I couldn't resist posting this scripture, all the more coming upon the heels of a debate in the U S of A - nicknamed 'interruptus horribilis' by some wag - wherein one particular participant therein, 

has **elsewhere been 'equated' with a number of other scriptures, if not ***this one in particular, scriptures all (of which) delineate in somewhat clear and distinct, stark and anything but glowing - rather glowering - colours,

a personage - the biblical Antichrist - who is therein described (and by such words and terms) as

a vile person

to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom

but he shall come in peaceably, 

and obtain the kingdom by flatteries

a king of fierce countenance

understanding dark sentences

And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand

and he shall magnify himself in his heart

a little horn...[having] eyes like the eyes of a man,

and a mouth speaking great things

that horn that had eyes,

and a mouth that spake very great things,

whose look was more stout than his fellows

****Etcetera etcetera etcetera...

Though I happen, as someone with a fairly thorough knowledge of such scriptures, to believe these refer far more aptly and precisely, to another class of personage altogether,

I'll admit they do contain a number of notable and unmistakable resonances with and to a certain individual whose advent into political life and world affairs seems to indicate our world may well never be the same again...

yet - praise the LORD - as I say elsewhere (awhile ago) both upon this very blogsite and upon my original one,

the truly Great One will ultimately have the last laugh...

*****at the last trump (sic)...the trump (sic) of God  

*520th upon this, my second blogsite.

**By Benjamin Corey (elsewhere referred to upon this blogsite, and others of mine).

***I.e my blogpost title.

****Assorted scriptures from the King James Bible.

*****Specific, Second Advent-related scriptures taken from the Holy Bible, (King James Version): i.e. 1 Corinthians 15: 52 and 1 Thessalonians 4: 16. 

What, moreover, has greatly intrigued and even fascinated me ever since re-stumbling upon said verses over recent years (i.e. since Donald J Trump's own 'advent' to the White House, and indeed since his name was really 'out there' following his announcement of standing for the Republican Party's presidential nomination back in 2014, 2015 or whenever) was that said King James Bible is the one and only Bible version employing that particular verbal form of 'trumpet', and indeed (in 1 Corinthians 15:52, anyhow) also employs that selfsame alternate term 'trumpet' therein, only serving to strengthen said word and concept association further - to my own understanding, anyhow...
