THE RETURN OF THE BEAST

On my Christmas day posting I said that Pluto in Capricorn could mean the return of the anti-Christ, due to the connection between Goats/Capricorn and the Devil. The ferment has begun already in Reeves, Louisiana, a primarily Christian town who have suffered the indignity of having the prefix 666 on their telephone number since the early 1960s.


The local phone company, CenturyTel, has finally relented and allowed residents to use the prefix 749. This decision, said the local mayor Scott Walker, was “divine intervention.”

"It's been a black eye for our town, a stigma," he said. "I don't think it's anything bad on us, just an image," he added. "We're good Christian people."

I don’t know if they’ve thought about their new number, but 749 is 7 then 7x7, i.e. 777. Someone at CenturyTel has a sense of humour. If you Google 777 you soon end up at 777was666.com, whose pages include the "Beast666 tapes".

The fear of the number 666 is known as hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia.
