Dearest Mama,
Is tomorrow’s date: 6-6-6 just another inquisitive number, or could it mean that the end of time is here? What I am really asking is, will tomorrow be the end of the world, or just another regular day, Mama?
Tomorrow is June 6, 2006, which mathematically means, the sixth day of the sixth month and also the sixth year of this millennium. That is 666! But something about the number 666 brings out the anxiety, and the humor in people. The peculiarity of the number started in the Book of Revelation. 666 is commonly known as the Number of the Beast in the Book of Revelation chapter 13, versus 17 -18.
I heard that many people from the clan are already getting baptized; some wearing white robes waiting to meet tomorrow as new persons. I heard that some of the money people in the clan have already gotten people to start praying for them. These people paying for others to pray for them are the ones who believe that money can influence anything; they even believe that they can bribe or fool God. In the kwee people’s place, my neighbor started wearing a very large cross since last week, and reciting prayers that were given out by some persons on the street. My neighbor’s girl friend even told my neighbor that they should stop living in sin – two days ago, they hurriedly got married. What happens if tomorrow is uneventful? This is why the people who talk to people tell people not to marry because of something, because when that thing ceased to exist, then things begin to fall apart.
Mama, do you know whether the chief is aware that tomorrow is 6-6-6? Please find out from Mr. Karmu or MaNora if the chief is worried about the coming of 666 on tomorrow. I heard that the chief has one big church that she is an active member of and some other churches she attends once in a while. Will the chief make all the churches she attend come together so she can pray with all of them? Or the churches pray for her. Will the fear of tomorrow make the chief admit and apologize to people she has wronged?
What’s about some of the big people in our clan? What are some of their moods? Will Snow confess how he got elected? Will that other big man in our clan, Mr. Brown who was living in this kwee’s people place also confess how bad he was to his woman? That man now big man back home, used to treat his woman like some kind of trash; now he is big man and he thinks that he is above every misdeed he has committed. Why should such people without morality become big people, what examples do they show? Mama, people like that must realize that when someone is nice to you and you belittle them, it doesn’t matter what position you get, what money you get, a day of reckoning always come. That man now roaming around the world, meeting with dignitaries, thinks he is king, but that day when his conscious will prick him; the day when his deeds will catch up with him, I hope it is already catching up with him before tomorrow.
As for Pappay he has always been seen as a religious person. Will the # 666 make a difference in the kinds of prayer he will have tonight? One interesting thing about the guy is he does not distinguish anything, especially when it comes to religion. Pappay said he belonged to one religion, and he had many women who also proclaimed to be a member of that religion; but he had one wife and other women from other religions. He was also associated with other religious practices. I wonder what happens when all these religious practices knock heads. Will the coming of tomorrow have any impact on Pappay’s life? Will Pappay call on the spirit of Teah Faculty to forgive him for taking his wife after Faculty died in a car crash? Teah Faculty was really working hard for Pappay. When Faculty died, his woman was pregnant. Pappay asked Faculty woman to abort Faculty’s unborn child. Pappay told Julie that if she aborted Faculty’s child, he, Pappay would marry her. Faculty’s wife, Julie aborted her dead husband’s child. Pappay did not marry her. She got pregnant for Pappay and has his child. Will the coming of "666" make Julie to reflect on the abortion of her dead husband’s child? Mama, do you think she regrets her actions?
Will Pappay and his security guys think about all the persons they have killed - John Yomie, Nowei Flomo, May Myers and many others. I am sure the fear of death will make them reflect on the killings they have carried out; the cries of their victims, their victims plead for mercy.
Mama, I heard that this whole 666 business started long ago, not just in our clan and the kwee people place, but in this whole wide world: long before I was born and long before you were even born. As we grow, we have come to see how people relate to 666. You remembered that day when the market woman, MaAnnie was hysterical after realizing that her day’s earning was $666 and she even forced you to buy a $5.00 fish for $0.25? Another drama around 666 was when Oldman Marshall and his family ran out of their house in the middle of the night because their son came out with the # 666 while solving a math problem. They immediately started thinking that their son was a follower of the Antichrist. Poor boy, they beat him up so badly.
When I asked Teacher Moses to tell me how easy one can reach 666 when solving a mathematical problem, he used all kinds of terminology. I will just write what he said, maybe you will understand it better than me: The harmonic mean of the digits of 666 is an integer: 3/ (1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6) = 6.666 is the 54th number with this property.
I called one kwee person who teaches religion to ask about this 666 business. The man said that people should not worry about tomorrow. I asked him why, he said that generally, it is hard to take Tuesday as a day of reckoning. He said generally people hate Monday, while Wednesday is a day that people generally get together. He added, ‘Friday sometimes falls on the 13th which is considered a bad omen, but Tuesdays and Thursdays don’t look like days when bad things can happen.”
I was glad this man said this, but just as I was about to leave, this book man made my head swing again. He said although the book of Revelation is not prophesying a particular end of times but the day is about the struggle of good versus evil in outer space. When this man said this, I started thinking, “suppose that fighting leave outer space and reaches earth.” I put my hand under my chin and stare into space wondering what happens if this fighting falls from the sky. I started thinking when I will see you again, Mama. Could the fighting between good and evil in space mean the end or the beginning of when we will be together? While wrecking my brain on this outer spece fighting, I thought about something - anyone who fears 666 can stand on their head and the figure will become 999. I think I will try to stand on my head and be like that until midnight. This is our secret Mama.
Will you stand on your head too? Let me know what happens tomorrow, Mama.
Always,
musue
