That's rather non-committal.
OK, point for you; and its a good one. I would ask though, what is the difference between him and the many good/bad kings of Judah and Israel except for magnitude?
Another good point for your side. Not a good role model; nevertheless, what the people would mostly focus on is him building the temple for which he was specifically chosen by God Himself.
I believe Solomon wrote Ecclesiastes, or at least was responsible for its origin. Had he not exhausted all possible avenues of human fulfillment he would not have been able to declare them all 'vanity'.
I think you are perhaps judging him more by your standard than God's. Consider 2 Sam 12:24KJV, 1 Kings 2:45KJV, 1 Kings 3:3KJV, Neh 13:26KJV. It may only be true that God 'loved' Solomon because he was David's son, but that is still sufficient to expect to see him in heaven, don't you think?
I have difficulty accepting that God would choose an individual who has ultimate ties with His arch-enemy Satan as one of the authors of His Word (Prov 1:1KJV) They were 'holy men of God' who 'spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.'
the sea of marmara was like a sheet of glass
greek fire gave the christians of constantinople a victory over islam
the year was 666
Revelation 15:2
King James Version (KJV)
2And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.

What scriptures have you read that lead you to believe this?

It is difficult to date Biblical passages.
The Edict of Cyrus the Great is an edict authorizing and encouraging the Jews exiled by Nebuchadnezzar to relocate to the land of Israel and actively engage in rebuilding the temple destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar.
The edict is thrice mentioned in the Bible, each with minor textual variations and additions.
The Cyrus edict that freed the Jews to return to Jerusalem after the seventy year exile is what Daniel 9:2 is about.
Cyrus II of Persia (Old Persian: KUURUUSHA[6] Kūruš; New Persian: کوروش بزرگ ; c. 600 or 576 – 530 BC[7]), commonly known as Cyrus the Great [8] and also known as Cyrus the Elder, was the founder of the Achaemenid Empire. This is the window of the date of the Cyrus edict.
666 BC is out of the Question!

what are you and the others talking about?
and
why not start a thread about it?
or
explain to me what all this has to do with 666
yearly?
2 Chronicles 9:13 New International Version (NIV)
Solomon’s Splendor
13 The weight of the gold that Solomon received yearly was 666 talents
Revelation 13:18 reads: "Wisdom is needed here; one who understands can calculate the number of the beast, for it is a number that stands for a person. His number is six hundred and sixty-six."
As you've indicated, Scripture records this number in two other places, parallel passages, and both times the person associated with the number is King Solomon, the son of David, the third king of the united kingdom of Israel.
The reason I even began participating in the thread was because of this scriptural connection, or coincidence. I don't believe it's a coincidence, but I'm not sure what the connection is.
Is this beast Solomon himself? Or perhaps Solomon's MO or philosophy? Or perhaps this beast will be a reincarnated Solomon, like how John the Baptist was in a way a reincarnated Elijah? I don't know. :idunno: I just want to make sure that we're looking at this connection/coincidence, and that we explain it, because it's right there in black and white, begging for us to do so.
I see three key words here
wisdom, calculate, and yearly
I have shown you my calculations
now
show me yours
no
not even close
we are not looking for a beast here
we are looking for a man
who
may be responsible for the beast
the horses,
the riders,
the beasts,
the whore,
are
not to be confused
Beloved Chrys,
The ten horns are the traditional enemies of Jerusalem which is the Harlot of Revelation as it plainly states. They will enter into a peace treaty with her and when they do then you can then set your eschatological alarm clock. When the treaty is abrogated they will burn her with fire and Jesus is 3 1/2 years away from His return. God has said that is where He will put His throne and that is what has made it the bulls-eye of Satan's target. It's what the fuss is all about.

as it plainly states?
all the different interpretations suggest that it is not plainly stated
your post is not plainly stated
all you can do is try to get all the pieces to fit

if
you search the bible for 666

Yes. Follow the words harlot and whore across the Bible if you have the courage. You can't miss it. On second thought ... go back to sleep.
Both Islam and communism are against Church unity. :up:
Dear chrysostom,
You are wrong to peddle the misinformation about the number 666. I was told by an angel that it was the number of the antichrist, like the number of a captain's army, or the followers of a leader, etc. I'm not going into it much here. See my book online at: jesusreturningverysoon.com

Remember what Jeroboam said to Rehoboam, Solomon's son and successor? Talkin' about Solomon now; Jeroboam says to him, "Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee." 1st Kings 12:4, cf. Matthew 11:28-30
