About This Project

Scripture Research is an independent collection of long-form biblical studies by Leo Blanchette. The project approaches difficult passages by comparing their language, context, numerical structure, and related passages across Scripture.

The goal is not to repeat a traditional interpretation or build an argument around a single coincidence. Each study lays out its sources and reasoning so readers can examine the evidence and decide whether the proposed connections hold together.

Featured Study

Solving 666: Counted, Weighed, Divided

The first major study examines Revelation 13:18 through its textual relationship with Daniel 5 and the judgment pronounced through MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN:

• Counted -- the kingdom is numbered and finished.
• Weighed -- the king is weighed in the balance and found lacking.
• Divided -- the kingdom is divided and transferred.

The study tests the ordered values 600, 60, and 6 against this formula using biblical weights and measures, including the standard given in Ezekiel 45:10-12. It also examines the shared language of wisdom, understanding, beasts, kingdoms, authority, worship, judgment, and division found in Daniel and Revelation.
