In truth, the “number†is neither a numeral, a bar code, a person, nor the name of an individual.
The reference to this “number†is found in Jesus Christ’s Revelations, Rev. 13:16-18, as written by the Apostle John. It reads as follows:
Rev. 13:16, “And he¹ caused all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand or in their foreheads,
Rev.13:17, “... and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.â€
Rev. 13:18, “Here is wisdom, let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is666.â€
When reading this translation, it seems obvious, because of such words as “number†and “calculateâ€, to expect the “number†to be a numeral, i.e. 666. All bible copies, even as far back as the Codex Sinaiticus (4th century), have translated the old Greek text (c ξϚ) to mean the numeral “666â€. Instead of helping to recognize and understand the identity of this beast, the use of the “666†has fertilized people’s imagination.
The choice of meaning of Greek words is greatly dependant upon the context of the message. Verses 16 to 18 are not referring to a context of numerical interpretation, as assumed by those who translated the original manuscript, but to a context of belief identification within an international forum, in which this dominant world power (beast) has the ideological, political, social, economic, and military influence to control one’s (a nation’s) access to buy and sell (trade) based on that nation’s allegiance to and identification with this empire’s image, mark, name, or number of it’s name. This “number†is associated with the beast, its mark, its name, and man.
In order to understand the message and the meaning of the beast’s number, it is important to pay closer attention to the meaning of the Greek text (Greek English Lexicon, Liddell & Scott, 9th edition) for...
Receive …Greek word = δωσiν(phonetic...dosin)
…can also mean: to give oneself, to accept willfully, to receive willingly
Mark … Greek word = χαραγμα(phonetic...charagma)
…can also mean: sign, nature of, characteristic, trait, quality, d
Name…. Greek word = ονoμα (phonetic...onoma)
…..can also mean: title, reputation, repute, character
Number…. Greek word = αριθμoν(phonetic...arithmon)
…..can also mean: mark of a station, worth, value.
Calculate…. Greek word = ψηθισατω(phonetic...psaythisato)
…. .can also mean: determine, figure out, identify, recognize.
These other meanings of the Greek words clearly refer to a context of character and values (belief) identification!
Now, let’s take a look at the Greek letters c ξϚas popularly referred to as “666â€.
In published Greek new testament texts, the c ξϚwill be followed by a stroke notation (c ξϚ´) above and to the right of the letters to indicate a numerical interpretation, used for the numbers 1-999. It is important to note that this convention was acquired from inscriptions during the Byzantine Empire, 4th – 15th century. This stroke notation was therefore not part of the original text. It was also common practice, as seen in the margins of the Codex Sinaiticus, also written in the 4th century, for interpretations to be edited into scripture. Taking into consideration the duality of the Greek alphabet to act as letters or numerals and the scribes’ assumption to interpret the greek word “αριθμoν†to signify numeral, the translators interpreted and added the.......
......letters c = 600, ξ= 60, and Ϛ = 6, producing the total of 666.
However, the Greek letters c ξϚhave also other meanings.
The numerical interpretation does not make sense for 3 significant reasons.
First of all, it does not require “understanding†within a framework of “wisdomâ€, as stated in Rev.13: verse 18, to figure out that the mathematical interpretation of the three symbols equals 666. God’s Word has never turned to the use of numerology to communicate the truth.
Secondly, as previously explained, verses 16-18 do not relate to a mathematical context but to one of character-value recognition and allegiance. One does not embrace an allegiance of worship to a numeral, a government, or a man, but to a core belief.
Thirdly, this “number†describes not only a man but also the beast and its name.
Rev.13:verse 17 “…number of his name…â€
verse 18 “…number of the beast…â€
verse 18 “…number of a man…â€
verse 18 “…number is c ξϚ .â€
Since this same “number†applies to a man, to the beast’s name (character), and to the beast (government-empire), it must encompass a characteristic common to all three. What can be commonly shared by a government power, its character, and a man? Is it a common value-belief or a common numeral? The answer is obviously that of a common value-belief.
Let’s investigate c ξϚ with understanding. Its meaning will surprise you because of its present existence, importance, and priority in every part of peoples’ lives.
cξϚ(as three individual symbols)
The roots of the Greek alphabet are found in the ancient Sematic and Egyptian symbols. Each symbol represented a meaning.
The letter / symbol c …….Taw …sign, mark, self
The letter / symbol ξ ……..Samech …support
The letter / symbol Ϛ …….Shin …stigma, recognition of servitude, scar of service
Therefore c ξϚ = oneself + support + in servitude to. The (number/value/belief) is clear.
....In servitude to support oneself.
....The desire to serve one’s own interests / to do one’s own will.
What is the significance of this interpretation?
· As Individual Man.... To serve one’s own interests. The desire to do one’s own will.
· National Character.... The belief in the rights of the individual. Will of the people.
· Beast /World Mission...Democracy (def.: people (self) – rule) as a way of life for all nations.
Let’s look now at Rev. 13: 16-18, but in the light of this information.
Rev. 13:16, “…and this world power brought about everywhere, to all the small and to all the great, and to all the rich and to all the poor, and to all the free and to all the oppressed, the willingness and desire to receive and embrace its characteristic-nature (mark) as their way of life (right hand) or as their belief (forehead) .â€
Rev. 13:17, “…and that no nation will be permitted to trade except the ones that have the
distinction (mark) or the character (name) of this world power (beast), or that value (number) his character (name).â€
Rev.13:18, “…Here is holy wisdom. Have the understanding to recognize the value/belief of this world power, for it is based on the value/belief of a man. His value/belief is the desire to serve his own interest / his own will (to know good and evil).â€
This message is also confirmed by the writings of the prophet Daniel as seen in Daniel 11:36-39.
God’s words are as follow:
(Note: This is the description of the last king/world power before the return of Jesus Christ.)
Daniel 11:36;
“Then the king shall do according to his own will; he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god, shall speak blasphemies against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the wrath has been accomplished; for what has been determined shall be done.
Daniel 11:37;
“He shall regard neither the God of his fathers nor the desire of women, nor regard any god; for he shall magnify himself above them all.
Daniel 11:38;
But in their place he shall honor a god of fortresses; and a god which his fathers did not know he shall honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and pleasant things.
Daniel 11:39;
“Thus he shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain.
Please note that the hand of the king of the north has been stretched out to Egypt and to other countries. Libya will be following the king of the north at his heels.
Does it exist today?
The world is presently living in the presence of this dominant power and influence. Economic sanctions on a global level have been imposed on countries which have shown flagrant disregard for its ideological foundation, the freedom of rights of man. Today, more than 75% of the world’s nations have willingly embraced and have become democracies. Recently Egypt has embraced this way and others are demanding to receive it. No nation is able to make war with (conquer) the beast (Rev.13:4) either militarily or politically (=spiritually). Its way (through capitalism) also offers the most prosperous economic rewards on earth (Rev.18:11-15). This primary belief has already unified the majority of nations, all the while respecting their “cultures/religions†(fortresses), and will, in the near future, unify all of mankind under the belief of universal values and freedom of rights. This “belief unification†is also reinforced by the ever growing global economic interdependence (capitalism is a powerful tool for spreading democracy). This world unified belief in “individual self-rights†is the goal of Satan in the preparation for the confrontation, both spiritual and military, against the return and rule of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, against the kingdom of God. It is evident that the identity of this empire (beast) is that of the United States of America, leader and promoter of democracy / freedom of rights, in conjunction with its world partners and mankind.
Recently, we have seen the people of Tunisia and Egypt overthrow their governments in order to embrace this way and belief. Others are following suit. In fact, their old way has died and has been “conquered†by the way of individual freedom. The prophetic words in Daniel, Trumpets #1-3, and Bowls #1-3 are being fulfilled. The non-democratic governments feel the pressures from outside and within their countries to change and to adopt democracy. Those leaders realize that in so doing they will lose their power. They are trying to resist this conversion. Their resistance, however, will be overcome in time to unify all of man (Rev.16:12-14) against the return of Jesus Christ.
Will of man or the will of the True God:
The U.S.A. embodies, on the global stage, each man’s desire for the freedom to do and justify his own will. Man has chosen to live and to fulfill his physical, financial, spiritual and other needs according to what he believes and justifies to be right and wrong, good or evil. It is important to highlight that these choices are based on man’s will and are not based on the absolute truths established by God. Even the belief in God has been decreed by man to be an “expression of a religious freedomâ€. The above are witnessed in excerpts from the Declaration of Independence and in the Constitution of the United States.
Declaration of Independence;
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness-….â€
Constitution of the United States, Article the third (Amendment I)
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…â€
These words clearly reflect the scriptural prophecies that we have read and seen in Daniel 11:36-39. Where is the faith in and servitude to the one and only true God and the desire to do His will? God does not accept man’s will to worship beliefs of his own creation. By doing so man rejects God’s existence as the True God and places himself in the position above God. This is blasphemy in the eyes of The Most High as declared in the First Commandment.
Man’s priority belief is not in God but in man’s own will. This was seen at the very start of man’s creation, in the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve, and consequently throughout all of the bible scriptures.
The tree of life and the tree of knowledge were symbolic of two ways of life.
· The tree of life represented the desire for God’s will and absolute truths.
· The tree of “knowledge of good and evil†represented the desire of man to be his own self-righteous judge for “knowing†(Genesis 3:22, Then the Lord said, “Behold, the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil.â€), establishing what man decided to be good and evil. This is the root of evil, which is the true nature of Satan, who, like a lamb but speaking as the dragon, has deceived man to believe that the worship of and freedom of self-will is the true way.
Satan tried to deceive our Lord Jesus Christ when Jesus was in the desert for 40 days. At the end of these 40 days, when Jesus was starving and close to death, Satan used this desperate situation of personal need to tempt Christ several times. Knowing that Jesus was the Son of God, the adversary challenged and taunted Jesus to yield to the belief in the desire to serve one’s own will/interest by confronting Him with the conditional statement of “...If you are the Son of God, then command that these stones become breadâ€. Jesus, instead, stood fast in the service to God and said (Matthew 4:4) “It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of Godâ€. Again, atop the highest mountain, Satan offered to give to Jesus all the kingdoms on the earth as long as Jesus would bow down to Satan. Satan, in effect, was saying that it would be acceptable to him to allow all of mankind to worship Jesus Christ, for Jesus to be “King of Kingsâ€, as long as Jesus would serve Satan. Jesus refused this attempt by Satan to be lured into self-glorification, and said... for it is written “You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serveâ€. Finally, Satan tried to test Christ’s belief in God, to create doubt, by daring Christ to throw himself off the temple wall, thus forcing Christ to see if God’s word would really save Him from death. Again, Christ’s faith was true to God and He rebuked Satan.
Satan, however, has successfully used this powerful deception on man. Man has fully embraced the way of self will without realizing that he is now serving the will of Satan. It is not important to Satan what recognized religion you follow (professing Christians included) or don’t follow, as long as the priority belief is to do it for a self-serving, self-righteous reason.
Our Lord said in Matthew 24:24 that the signs and wonders (of world peace and unity) performed by false christs and false prophets would also be able, if possible (very powerful), to deceive even the elect. Jesus Christ warned “professing Christians†of the dire result of prioritizing this self-righteous “lawlessness†as seen in Matthew 7: 21-23.
God’s desire is for man to embrace and to do His will, which is absolute love for God and for those around us, and to receive the gift of eternal life. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, summarized well this choice on the Mount of Olives prior to his capture, torture, death, and resurrection.
His words were: Mathew 26:42, Mark 14:36, Luke 22:42;
The reference to this “number†is found in Jesus Christ’s Revelations, Rev. 13:16-18, as written by the Apostle John. It reads as follows:

... receive, mark, name, number, calculate, and “c ξϚâ€.
Receive …Greek word = δωσiν(phonetic...dosin)

“Father, if it is Your will, remove this cup from Me;
nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done
.â€
.....which He did as an act of sacrifice, love, and forgiveness for those who repent and follow Him.
.â€
.....which He did as an act of sacrifice, love, and forgiveness for those who repent and follow Him.
Please note that when Christ will return to earth He will do so as King of kings. This also means that there will be only one way of life, one belief. This also means that there will not be any freedom of religion and any freedom of rights. As God’s Holy Spirit is here now, we are also to serve Him now as King.
