There has been a lot of debate about what 666 means. There is an interesting web site that's called "666 WATCH."
The specific page is
http://www.av1611.org/666/www_666.html

Many people emailed them with concern because they discovered that www in Hebrew is equal to 666.
"666 Watch" assured them there was no concern because 666 means six hundred and sixty six and not 3 sixes because w in Hebrew just means 6 so if there are 3 w's that just means 6+6+6=18.

I was looking at these numbers (6+6+6) a while back and discovered something odd. I will share what that was.

The numbers listed in Rev. 13 that concern the beast are as follows:

The number of the heads of the beast is 7.
The number of the horns of the beast is 10.
The number of the name of the beast is 666.
The dates given of the dominance of the beast is 42 months or 1260 days.

Take a look at this formula:

6+6+6 x 7x10=1260

As you can see when you put the numbers of the beast together this results in 1260.
1260 is the time length of the dominance of the beast!

In fact, the key code of 6+6+6 is showing us that 666 is not six hundred and sixty six but 3 sixes instead.
Wouldn't you agree?? Or not?

I do not think that the World Wide Web is the beast but I think that one day the beast might use it to his advantage to fulfill prophecy.

God's mark was not a physical mark on the head or the hand. Read Deuteronomy 6:1-9, pay attention to verse 8.
The beast's mark may not be physical either. but it may. Time will tell.

I want to show you something else!

Also read Genesis 11:9 Tower to heaven! It is 9/11 backwards!
read through1-9 if you do not recall the story of BABEL.
The WORLD was all of ONE speech and God confounded and divided the people of the earth. God does not want man to have that kind of unity. Divided they fall and spread abroad!

Recall what the 9/11 two towers were called?
WORLD TRADE CENTER. Symbolicly speaking, world brought together by economical trade.

God is not going to allow the world to come together again as ONE until He sends His WORD to bring peace and unity to the world.
Recall the WORD will fight with the sword of his mouth.

What does the www. stand for? WORLD WIDE WEB!
The world being brought together AGAIN by babel. Communication!

Personally, I feel that this is all coming together to fulfill prophecy!
Don't you agree??

God Bless and keep watching!

I think what follows is a much more historically plausable explanation.
This comes from a commentary in the NKJV bible titled "So that's Why Bible" p.1657 (see source at bottom)

Is Nero’s Number 666? (Rev. 13:18 )

How did ancients “calculate the number” of a person (Rev. 13:18 )? There is a well-known system for both Hebrew and Greek in which the letters of the alphabet are used for numbers. The first letter of the alphabet is the number “one,” the second letter is "two', and so forth. In this system the letters of a name are changed to numbers, and the numbers are then added to arrive at a total.

No one knows the identity of the man or beast whose number is 666 (Rev. 13:18 ); however, one candidate is Nero. When the Hebrew consonants of “Nero Caesar” are calculated, the total is 666. These consonants, NRWN QSR, have been discovered written just this way in a manuscript, dated about a.d. 55–56, found 15 miles southeast of Jerusalem.

Like the beast, Nero was also a persecutor of the church. He was born in a.d. 37 and became emperor in a.d. 54, when he was only 17 years old. After a few years in office he began to use his powers to put to death anyone he wanted out of the way.

In a.d. 64 a terrible fire burned down about half of the city of Rome. Nero was rumored to have started this fire himself, but afterward he said the Christians were to blame for it. Reports say that Nero used Christians as lamps, burning them to death in his garden.

Nero killed his closest advisors and members of his own family. Eventually, other politicians rose against him; he was deserted, had to flee Rome, and committed suicide in a.d. 68, not quite 30 years old. After he died, there were persistent rumors that he would return from the grave (see Rev. 13:3, 12, 14 where the first beast lived again). All this does not prove that Nero is the man of Rev. 13:18; however, it is possible that the number 666 was associated with his name by the time Revelation was written.

Hi Ron,

Yes, I have heard that bit of history before. So, you think the number of the name is actually going to add up to six hundred and sixty six and will be a rebirthed Nero?

But don't you think it is odd that 6+6+6 x7x10=1260 ????
These are the numbers listed that have direct connect to the beast.
Do you think it is just a random number thing with no significant meaning? Or is this a possible lead that might reveal something about the number of the beast???
Thank you for your reply. I enjoyed your web site.

God Bless

I, like everyone else, do not know with any certainty the identity of this beast. It would follow that if John was indeed refering to Nero, then the "rebirth" may be symbolic language for someone coming in the future that is as terrible as Nero was in the persecution of Christians. I think this would stand the test of Scripture as well.

I have never been one to stay too long in Revelation playing pin the tale on the anti-Christ. I rather enjoy absorbing myself in the learning of Biblical precepts and essential doctrine.

Thank you for your kind words regarding my wewbsite. It is definately a work in progress. I have been putting together a Bible reading calendar you can click on and get Scripture reading for morning, noon and evening.

I am not so sure that the number 666 has actually anything to do with the name of a man or thing... but maybe an amount?

Rev 13:18 This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666.

Why 666? Maybe... just maybe (this is something that hit me recently)... it is this number because that is the highest amount of gold as splendor that man has received yearly... the man that had it all: Namely King Solomon.

1 Kings 10:14 The weight of the gold that Solomon received yearly was 666 talents,

666 talents of gold by my bible translates to about 25 tons (about 23 metric tons) of gold. That is alot of gold.

How much would that amount of gold translate to in currency these days?

Revelation 15:2 And I saw what looked like a sea of glass mixed with fire and, standing beside the sea, those who had been victorious over the beast and his image and over the number of his name.

What could cost approximately 666 talents of gold... that people of righteousness would have to overcome? For this passage indicates that they overcome not the just the beast and his image... but also the number of his name.

Worth a thought?

hi

first i wanted to react on what ron wrote that it could be nero , the bible says that everyone will recognize the beast and i really doubt that everyone knows what nero looked like , not saying it can't be him , just saying that might be a problem if it would be him , and also if it would be nero , it would suggest that it will be italy where the beast will be brought back and i rather think a country like russia or germany would fit it better cause the beast would come through the line of magog and that would be russia (germany ) prolly . and maybe more important to be one of the beast you have to be against( kill them etc ) jews (israelites) they are god's chosen race , all other people are gentiles

Also i wonder what the bible means when it says in revelations that the beast will be brought back supernaturally , would it mean that someone comes back from the dead ?? that would be weird cause i thought that only god could do something like that or maybe we talking about cloning ??? that might be seen as supernatural if you lived 2000 years ago and you have a vision where you see the same beast that lived before , john did not know that we can clone someone now

as far as the name of who it will be i guess it could be hitler , everyone will recognize him and it would fit in otherwise too i think and they never found his body !!! that might have something to do with what the scripture says about the supernatural return of one of the former beasts ??


about the mark of the beast , that could be some kind of chip .


and about that time will tell , uhm if you are a christian (accepted christ as your savior ) then you won't be here when the beast is here , the holy spirit is removed before the beast can rise , christians are gone already ( the rapture )

Ron,

Can you tell us if there is any information about these manuscripts online. If not, where can we read about this discovery?

People people!

Six, as a number, is associated with God's enemies. A Philistine man of the Rephaim was of “extraordinary size,” and his “fingers and toes were in sixes.” (1 Chronicles 20:6) King Nebuchadnezzar erected a golden image 6 cubits in breadth and 60 cubits high, to unify his political officials in one worship. When God’s servants refused to worship the image of gold, the king had them thrown into a fiery furnace. (Daniel 3:1-23)

The number six falls short of seven, which stands for completeness from God’s standpoint. Therefore, a triple six represents gross imperfection.

John says that it “is a man’s number,” not that of a spirit person, so the name helps to confirm that the wild beast is earthly, symbolizing human government. Just as six fails to measure up to seven, so 666—six to the third degree—is a fitting name for the world’s gigantic political system that fails so miserably to measure up to God’s standard of perfection. The world’s political wild beast rules supreme under the name-number 666, while big politics, big religion, and big business keep that wild beast functioning as an oppressor of mankind and a persecutor of God’s people.

The only question left is: what does it mean to be marked on the forehead or in the right hand with the name of the wild beast? Well, when God gave Israel the Law, he told them: “You must apply these words of mine to your heart and your soul and bind them as a sign upon your hand, and they must serve as a frontlet band between your eyes.” (Deuteronomy 11:18) This meant that the Israelites had to keep that Law constantly before them, so that it influenced all their actions and thoughts. The 144,000 anointed ones are said to have the Father’s name and that of Jesus written on their foreheads. This identifies them as belonging to God and Jesus Christ. (Revelation 14:1)

In imitation, Satan uses the demonic mark of the wild beast. Anybody engaged in everyday activities such as buying and selling is pressured to do things the way the wild beast does, as, for example, in celebrating holidays. They are expected to worship the wild beast, letting it rule their lives, so as to receive its mark.

Religion is so ingrained in community life that anyone who stands for Bible truth is ostracized by family and former friends. It takes great faith to endure. In a world where the majority worship material wealth and where dishonesty is rampant, the true Christian often has to trust implicitly in God that He will uphold him in pursuing an upright course. In a world with so much immorality, it takes great determination to remain clean and pure.

So, the world is a difficult place for those who do not have the mark of the wild beast. It is an outstanding demonstration of Jehovah’s power and blessing that the remaining ones of the seed of the woman, as well as more than three million of the great crowd, are keeping integrity despite all the pressures to break God’s laws. (Revelation 7:9) Unitedly, throughout the earth, may all of us continue to magnify Jehovah and his righteous ways, as we refuse to receive the mark of the wild beast.

Revelation 13 :18 "Here is wisdom. Let him that has understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."

". . . for it is the "NUMBER OF A MAN"

What is your number? Mine is "385 - 46 - XXXX

It is possible it is the Social Security Number or the Federal I.D. number of the person.

The beast number (forgive me if I'm wrong), would be "600 - 60 - 0006".

You can go on line to the University of Arizona, Tempe and look up the ALL the social security numbers that have ever been issued. Interestingly enough, numbers using the number "666" were not allowed to be used for many years precisely for the reason of the nations biblical views. That all changed. All foreign and international social security numbers are issued through the University of Arizona. You cannot find out the NAME of the person the number was issued to but you can and will find that the number "600-60-006" was issued in 1986.

Social Security Numbers are already incrypted to chips already being used in people and animals. They are not yet manditorily implanted in the right hand or foreheads of humans but that will happen soon.
