The Infamous 666

Infamous 666 : mark of the beast, antichrist, Revelation 13

It is no mystery that numbers hold significant meanings in the Bible. The most hyped number of all is 666. It has become commonplace and is often mocked in a poor attempt at humor. Much confusion surrounds this number. Why is this the case? Let's turn to a passage from the book of Revelation where this unique number originated.

Revelation 13:15-18
  1. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
  2. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
  3. And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
  4. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Note: Just for quick clarification, a score is equal to twenty, therefore threescore equals sixty. Other versions simply write out 666 in numerical form.

We see in these passages that the number is related to something greater than itself. It is the number of a man. If we recall, it is also the number of all men. In the first book of the Bible, Genesis, we see that God created man on the sixth day along with all living things that walk upon the earth. If we combine that number with the perfection of the Trinity, we get the most unholy of numbers.

So where does that leave us? Not too helpful. In all actually it is quite ambiguous. Let's take another look at verses 17 and 18 of Revelation chapter 13...

Revelation 13:17-18
  1. And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
  2. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Three things are obvious here. Every man who wishes to buy or sell (does that leave anybody out?) must have one of three things: the mark or the name of the beast or the number of his name (as worded in the KJV). The third point of interest is in verse 18; "Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast". So being the case that we all would like to be wise, and it is possible to calculate the number, there is much calculating going on as many false prophets are arising. Who knows, maybe someone has it right, but there is a lot of finger pointing going on. Let's see what Jesus Christ has to say about false prophets.

Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Matthew 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

So we see that at first glance a false prophet seems to be harmless, but in fact might be dangerous. Not to say that all who are wrong about a future prediction have evil in their hearts. Most are just deceived themselves. It is he who is at the root of the deception which is to blame, none other than the deceiver himself: Satan.

Matthew 15:11-14
  1. Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
  2. Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?
  3. But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
  4. Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

If you are questioning a teaching or a piece of doctrine you should be able discern the truth through patience, prayer and God's Word. So, with all said, beware of what you wish for, it just might happen. The only safe thing to say is that when the Antichrist (who's number is 666) is positively identified it will most likely be Satan himself incarnate. If you are still interested in this number please pursue some of the following links. Be sure to keep a cool head. This is a very interesting number indeed! One last verse to send you on your way:

1 John 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

In Greek/In Arabic

I saw it on youtube, and then tried it on Microsoft paint. Take the ancient Greek for "six hundred three score six" and then compare it to the Arabic word for "allah." The allah they worship is an evolution of a master god from an Arab polytheistic religion, aka Baal, "Daughter of Babylon."

not been wasting our time on the words of a 2000 year dead jewish man who appears whiter to us than perhaps he really was...

Rev 13:18

by Anonymous - 12/26/03 12:59 PM
A nice site. But I am always disappointed when I see that someone apparrently doesn't have a clue what Rev 13:18 is referring to. Or at least if you do you are sure keeping it to yourself. Let me help you. I would suggest that you begin leaving the modern interpretations alone. The only ones that make 110% sense come from the commentaries and thoughts of the early Christians up through the mid 19th Cent.

First of all, nowhere in Rev. is the word antichrist used. Rev. 13:18 is not referring to THE Antichrist. There is no such thing. Rev 13:18 refers to The Beast.

There are several classic references which go into great detail about the prophecies of Daniel/Revelation, which both go hand in hand and refer to much the same events. Suffice it to say that we have known for about 1800 years who or rather what the Beast has been.

Let me put it this way, almost every sentence and detail on Daniel/Revelation is easily identifiable. We know that The Beast is a SYSTEM of religion which has tried to take over every aspect of man's life, demanding absolute loyalty to men rather than God. It has murdered millions of Christians who refused to bow to IT.

And, now of course, here in the late 20th/early 21st centuries, we know for certain who The False Prophet is. IT is another system of religion which is killing christians again and is NOW trying to take over the world like the Beast before it tried.

The False Prophet and The Beast are both religious systems! You can identify the beast by looking for the number 666 in the name of the position he holds and has held for many centuries. Vicarius Filei Dei = 666

The False Prophet is Islam!

Like I said find some good OLD commentaries and expositions from the great Christian minds. There was a lot written, some of it in GREAT DETAIL about The Beast and False prophet.

2000 yrs of waste

by Anonymous - 11/21/04 4:41 AM
After 2000 years and this is what jesus teaches you?
You should be ashamed!
You live in a civilized (never hungry) nation while most muslims are living in poverty because of some greedy capitalist in the western countries, selling guns and hatred.
I've learned almost all religion, and they all favor love over war, who builds guns?, simple answer to find your antichrist...
Thank You

Blame Ala

by Anonymous - 11/26/04 7:10 AM
Don't blame Christians... blam Ala
Christian God reachs out to humans... through Himself (Jesus) by showing his love and dying for all ...
With freedom comes choices ...
No one lives forever - Judgment Day will come for all and no one can escape There will be no sin in heaven.

Don't blame us ... Blame your God
Blame your problems on your God - he is not very stong or the world would have been Moslem 1500 yrs ago - take the world for Ala ... your God is weak ... and not real, he didn't prove his love to mankind, he can't heal, he can't set free from sin, he can't even take over a world by force in the last 1500 years Ala is not real but he was a god of a cult in the land Mohommad took over from other people whom he murdered.
That is not God (love)
If Ala was real - why are you broke and weak, blame West ... right ... wake up BLAME ALA he is so strong, can't even take over a world in 1500 years ... what a joke, Ala - he is nothing but fake, full of conquest, hate, and Power. Ala is not real ... if he was why R U broke and weak, go figure.

All that I would like to say is, this is a Christian website and obviously with Christian views. You targeted this website to either want answers to your problems and as you say have TRIED many religions. You seek for answers you would like to hear to please your pallette. Jesus died for you and for the muslims and everyone else for that matter. It is up to you and I to accept
what He did for us, and for matter to recieve what He has for us. Jesus is the Son of God, He is diety, He is not man, we are men, imperfect,voided, and
filled with confusion and lies. He is the light that brings truth and TRUE love, without Him we live in darkness with Him we have light. So I am not conscerned if you believe or not, those who do not recieve Him and follow Him live in this condition. I desire peace in this world but it can not happen without God's intervention in removing evil from this earth, which He will do and pray that you may not be one of them.

I am discouraged by the ignorance of the Muslim writer who blames Christains for the problems of the world. More so, I am disappointed in the responses of the so called Christains who do not use words of peace to persuade, but rather, use words to cause conflict. I am therefore leaning to believe that both are agents of evil. Christ will come and that I believe. Words written in a bible, which was written by men, I have a hard time swallowing when it has lead to so many wars. Christ the Messiah has come. Some praise his name as Jesus, but what Christain religion are we to believe. One that is more concerned with defending their beliefs about Jesus, or one which follows the ways of Christ and teachings of our Messiah. Question whether or not Jesus's name should be use in the name of war as it has ever since the bible was put together by Constantine, a sun worshipper, who claims to have seen a sign in the shape of a cross while looking at the sun. Is it Christ's purpose for us to fight to take control of the world, when it already is under our Father's control? Satan is under our Father's control, as we know from the book of Job. Perverted ideas introduced into the writings of the bible by those claiming to be Christains has lead to a curse upon the Son of our Father. His message has been perverted by men who want to use his name for their own greedy purpose. In some cases the names of Jesus and even Mohammad are used in the place of the name of Lucifer. So what are we to believe?
Believe this, if the ways of men don't change and the hearts of men start softening to love one another, then our world will be punished, not by god, put by our own hate. Will we fight in the name of Jesus and religion, or have peace in the name of Christ the Son of our Father? One is the way of Evil and how some have perverted and curse the name of Jesus. The other is the way of Christ and how he wants us to follow his teachings and lead us back to our Father.

Know What?

by Anonymous - 12/17/04 9:20 AM
The birth of a new superpower is at hand, and that is Europe.

And do you know that Europe is trying to squeeze out God?:) I have seen on tv that in one particular mass, only 2 or 3 were there to hear mass. And France has recently just started banning people from wearing distinguishing marks of their religion.

I feel that the antichrist does not
come from a powerful family. I fel that
he is an absolute unknown.
Jesus said, "did you expect to see one in soft
clothing?"
Also he will be under the curse of conia. Perhaps he will branch off from the dubois whom when exiled to France, were later (1666)
exiled from france to New York.

Antichrist probally comes from California, The San Juaquine valley is
similar to valley of Megiddo and leading
supplier of planets food
If he does
not live here, he will still, at some time show an interest in this area.

Antichrist was probally born on October
3, 1968 in Hanford California.

I would like to inform you that your 9 years of calculations are off. Try the date 7/13/88 at exactly 1:13 pm ( 13 day,hour,min) Then you will find your antichrist.
