I do understand the appearance of the seemingly inconsistency. Like playing a guitar a note is a note even if you don't understand why. You start out playing it because it makes a sound and other sounds along with it are pleasing to the ear. I did not write the rules on sound nor on the Hebrew language, you can be thankful for that. However the u or vav is considered both a vowel and a consonant and is written in the Hebrew language the vowels are not. I don't know if I can post links on the forum yet. I tried to place a quote by someone who had one on their thread and it would not let me post it until I removed the link. It believe it said I needed to have at least 15 posts under my belt before I could post links, or something along those lines.
I did not purposely leave out the e to the name to make it work out to 616. I would not benefit by doing this. I used to believe in that name and was devastated when I stopped using it. I don't know if you could imagine, I hope you can. If you look at all the points made that elaborate about the beast it fits. There are many and I can elaborate at some time. I have been trying to put as much as I can on a website. I just hope people will look into it for themselves. It is a big, big deal, I understand this. If anyone denies it because I say it, ok. If anyone denies it because it they are going against the facts that is another thing.
This is from a site called ancient scripts:
Like all Proto-Sinaitic-derived scripts, vowels are not written in either Old Hebrew nor Jewish scripts. However, it became increasingly important to record the vowels when Aramaic became more popular as the spoken language rather than Hebrew. So the system known as "matres lectionis" was devised where certain letters were used to represent long vowels: 'aleph for [a:], he for [o:] and [a:], waw for [o:] and [u:], and yodh for [e:] and [i:]. However, matres lectionis was not a complete system, and by the 9th century CE the practice of adding dots and lines, called nikkudim, above or below a letter to indicate a vowel came into being. This is known as the "Tiberian" system, named after the city of Tiberias in Palestine, and joined matres lectionis as part of the Hebrew writing system.
The israeli newspapers write without the vowels and the marks. You have to understand the context to understand the meaning. It is something like this. The ct ran up the tree. What would ct be in english? you have a few choices of vowels to put in ct and "o" would not fit the sentence unless it stated it was thrown. a "u" would not work unless it was pertaining to someone who got cut up climbing one. It is obvious looking at the context that it would be an "a" for cat.
This is from wikipedia
Original Biblical Hebrew text contained nothing but consonants and spaces and this is still the case with Torah scrolls that are used in synagogues. A system of writing vowels called niqqud, (from the root word meaning "points" or "dots") developed around the 5th Century CE. It is used today in printed Bibles and some other religious books and also in poetry, children's literature, and texts for beginning students of Hebrew. Most modern Hebrew texts contain only consonant letters, spaces and western-style punctuation and to facilitate reading without vowels mater lectionis (see below) are often inserted into words which would be written without them in a text with full niqqud. The niqqud system is sometimes used when it is necessary to avoid certain ambiguities of meaning — such as when context is insufficient to distinguish between two identically spelled words — and in the transliteration of foreign names.
Like I said there is a lot of information and this could give you a start. The bible states the whole world would be deceived. There is a lot more info that points to this. Thanks for looking into it, the bible states "seek and you will find".
2 Thessalonians
2:3 Let no one deceive you in any way. For it will not be, unless the departure comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of destruction, 2:4 he who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or that is worshiped; so that he sits as God in the temple of God, setting himself up as God.
2 Corinthians
11:13 For such men are false emissaries, deceitful workers, masquerading as Messiah’s emissaries. 11:14 And no wonder, for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light. 11:15 It is no great thing therefore if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.
and don't forget the command "do not make an image". What is the crucifix?
It also makes sense then why in revelation it says
3:12 He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will go out from there no more. I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God, and my own new name.
19:12 His eyes are a flame of fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has names written and a name written which no one knows but he himself.
