666: FOR IT IS THE NUMBER OF A MAN by Jeff Wingo

Who is the Man?

In my post the other day I presented you with a mystery. Revelation 13:8 says, “Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man…”. My question was–who is the man?

The Man is none other than Solomon, and here is the reason. Solomon is intricately linked with gold, the number 666, the blood sacrifice of children, immorality, idolatry, and the desire for the hidden wisdom of the god of this world.

At the beginning of his reign Solomon was granted wisdom and understanding by the Lord God of Israel. But he later apostatized from his faith and service to the Lord of heaven and began to seek the hidden wisdom of the god of this world.

As you know, Satan is the god of this world (2 Cor. 4:4), and he offers men the occult (hidden) wisdom of the evil world system which is in operation all around us. We see this at work everyday in the political, business, and entertainment worlds. Many people have literally sold their soul for fame and fortune (both of which are fleeting when considered in the light of eternity).  {2}

But let’s get back to Solomon. Everything that I am about to reveal to you in this article can be found in your Bible. I am adding nothing new here. What we will do that may be new to some of you is to see how all of the information in the Bible regarding Solomon and 666 relates to the manifestation of the Antichrist in our time. In the posts that follow I may get into the esoteric meaning of Solomon as it is used by several contemporary Mystery Religions (yes, they do exist). But for this post I am going to remain with biblical revelation.

2 Chronicles 9:13, Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and threescore and six talents of gold.

2 Chronicles 9:17-19, Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.  And there were six steps to the throne, with a footstool of gold, which were fastened to the throne, and stays on each side of the sitting place, and two lions standing by the stays: And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps. There was not the like made in any kingdom.

As you can see, while there are several other examples I will skip over for the sake of brevity, these texts provide proof that the number 666 is revealed in various places of the Bible. When John wrote Revelation 13:18 he wasn’t pulling numbers out of a hat, it is all in the Bible for a reason.

At 2 Chron.9:13 the triple 6 is obvious, and it is associated with gold. Gold is a symbol for wealth and power, and is often used in myth as a symbol for wisdom and knowledge. But in many places of the Bible gold is symbolic of idolatry, the golden calf at Mount Sinai for example.

According to Revelation 13 the Antichrist will institute an all-encompassing economic policy and no one will be able to buy or sell without the mark of the Beast. According to Daniel, the Antichrist will be a “raiser of taxes” or an “exactor of tribute” {3}, and that is what Solomon did. He exacted labor and taxes from the people to fund his kingdom and building projects (1 Kings 5:13-18; 9:20-21).

As you can see from the second example found at 2 Chronicles 9:17-19, the infamous number, 666, is everywhere in relation to the Ivory Throne, gold and lions.

This symbolism is very interesting because here we again see the triple 6 in the 6 steps and 12 lions-6 on one side and 6 on the other. What could the Bible be saying here? I believe that this points to the Abomination of Desolation spoken if by Jesus, Daniel, and Paul (Matt.24:15; Dan.8:11; 11:31; 2 Thess. 2:7).

As you may know, according to Paul, the Man of Sin will enter a Jewish Temple in Jerusalem and declare that he is God and demand worship from the entire world. With the power of the image of the Beast, he will get the worship he craves. Because, as I have written previously, the image of the Beast is in the human mind, and it is an occult initiation into devil worship. Without the Holy Spirit, no human will be able to resist the power of the Beast. And the Antichrist will be seen as a god because of his preternatural ability to manipulate the natural elements of the earth to produce miracles-he will seem a god, or a very advanced manipulator of “magic” shall we say. And we all know how star struck the world is with celebrity, wealth, and power! The Alien Antichrist Beast will be all of that and more in one deceptive package!

But it goes much deeper than this because Solomon is also associated with the worship of demon gods such as Moloch and Chemosh. These gods required blood sacrifice–and the main sacrifice needed to appease the demon deities was a little child lain upon the outstretched arms of a brazen idol filled with fire.

Why did Solomon do this? What was he seeking? Could it be that Solomon abandoned the God of heaven to seek out the “god” of this world? Unfortunately, that appears to be the case, but what was Solomon offered in exchange for his evil service? Was it possibly immortality or perhaps an apotheosis?

And if you look even closer in the Old Testament you will see that there is another man associated with Antichrist and 666!

2. There are many examples of this in the entertainment world. Try a Google search for singers who have sold their soul to the Devil for fame and fortune. Many videos on YouTube attest to this in the artists own words. How sad. Whether or not this reveals an association with the Illuminati (who are in bed with dark forces) in the music industry or an actual agreement of some type with spiritual powers remains unknown.
