666: CALCULATING THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST PART SIX by Jeff Wingo

April 20, 2019

The Vision of John on Patmos by Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld 1860.

So far, in this series we have looked at the various biblical links to the number of the Beast, 666, and in doing so we have discovered along the way that the Bible alone holds the key to the hidden meaning behind the number of the Beast. Thus, as we have discovered, biblical revelation sets us free from the useless speculation surrounding the number of the Beast; the Lord has not given us vital information that we need for the last days and then left us to the mercy of the tide!

Thankfully, in the last days before His return, the Lord Jesus is revealing the biblical meaning of this mystery to those who have eyes to see and ears to hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church (Mark 4:9, 23; 7:16; Revelation 2:7, 11, 17; 2:29; 3:13,22; 13:9).

As we have learned, there are some very interesting correlations between the number 666 and its meaning. When John wrote the verse, he intended that we would use wisdom as we examine the biblical text for clues that reveal the meaning behind the infamous number. In this way, we will count (biblically) the number of the Beast to discover what John meant when he said the number of the Beast is, “the number of a man.”

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 (Revelation 13:18). 

In earlier segments of this series (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5), we discovered the biblical link to King Solomon and the number of the Beast, as well as the link between 666 and the evil apostasy Solomon brought upon the nation of Israel near the end of his rule.

The Bible clearly testifies that Solomon abandoned the God of Heaven for the occult gnosis or hidden knowledge of the god of this world, Lucifer, the Light-Bearer. The Apostle Paul warned us about the abilities of Lucifer/Satan to alter his appearance so that his doctrines appear to be biblical doctrine.

And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14: ).

As most of you know, Lucifer and his fallen angels still come to humans as angels of light. They hide evil behind “the light” and bring secret gnosis or forbidden knowledge that appeals to “the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life” (1 John 2:16).

The Serpent and his servants entice humans to pluck the fruit of Antichrist from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. In the end, the fruit he offers is actually bitter poison. It destroys our relationship with God, with other people, and always leads to a very bitter end for many, not just in this world, but in eternity as well.

AN ANCIENT SIGNPOST FLASHING 666

Before the ancient Israelites entered the Promised Land, Moses sent twelve spies to examine the land and its inhabitants (Numbers chap.13, 14). God promised Israel a land flowing with milk and honey, which is a way of saying that the land is overflowing with blessing, bounty, and plenty. As discovered by the twelve spies however, thousands of giants occupied the land; the remnants of post-flood (second) incursion of the wicked offspring of the fallen Sons of God and the daughters of men (Genesis 6: 1-4).

After the twelve spies returned from exploring the land, ten of the men brought an evil report that discouraged the majority of the children of Israel from entering the land. The ten unbelieving spies refused to believe that God would help them conquer the giants and take the land.

As many of you know, because of unbelief God banished this faithless generation to wander in the wilderness for forty years, until every faithless Israelite died. What a tragic judgment, a testimony we should heed lest we fail the grace of God and end up faithless (1 Corinthians 10:5; Hebrews 3: 8-12). In the end, their children entered the land and conquered the Nephilim giants under the leadership of Joshua.

One of the twelve spies was a man by the name of Sethur, and his father’s name was Michael. It is here in the book of Numbers that we see another clue revealing 666, the number of the Beast. Remember, it is the number of a man, so here is another man with a connection to the number 666.

Numbers 13:13: Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael.

According to Dr. Adam Clark, the Hebrew name Sethur equals 666: This is the one place in the Bible, where the gematria works out to number. As strange as it seems, once we examine the meaning of the name, it will become abundantly clear why the Holy Spirit placed this signpost in the ancient book of Numbers.

Please Note: The following is adapted from my book, Alien Antichrist, The Terrifying Truth about UFOs and Aliens, Antichrist, and the End of Days, so this research is copyright © 2014, Jeffrey A. Wingo.

The Hebrew name Cĕthuwr (Sethur) means, “Hidden, to hide, conceal, mysterious.” The name also means, “destroying.” {1} Furthermore, the father of Sethur is a man named Michael, which means, “Who (is) like God.” {2}

Taking all of this into consideration, and placing the clues side by side, the name Sethur and his father Michael suggest “the hidden one, the destroyer, who is like God.” {3}

Apollyon/Abaddon, the Beast from the abyss also means Destroyer (Rev. 9:11). He is the hidden one, because he is currently in the prison of Tartarus, deep in the Earth (Revelation 11:7; 17:8; 2 Peter 2:4; Jude 1:6—pgs. 129-132, Alien Antichrist). His name means Destroyer, and he desires to be like God. {4}

Another clue is found at Ezra 2:13: “The children of Adonikam, six hundred sixty and six.”

This verse (about another man) is from a listing of families who are returning to Jerusalem from Babylon after the 70-year captivity. It seems so strange to have information about the number 666 at this point in Scripture, but there is a very good reason it is here.

The first clue is the city of captivity, Babylon. According to the Bible, Babylon the Great is the city of captivity during the Great Tribulation (see Revelation chapter 18). In addition, a rebuilt Temple in Jerusalem will one day be the focal point of the entire world when the Antichrist Beast enters the sacred precincts of the Temple, proclaims that he is God, and demands worship from the people of Israel and the entire world.

The name Adonikam means “a lord rising up,” or a lord risen. {5} According to Dr. John Gill, “The number of Adonikam’s posterity is 666, Ezr. 2:13; whose name signifies “a lord rising up”, or “risen”; and suits very well with antichrist, who is risen up, and assumes a lordly domination over the kings of the earth.” {6} When we place all the clues side by side, we find they point directly at Apollyon/Abaddon, the Beast from the abyss.

A Babylonian Lord Rising up, the Hidden One, the Destroyer, Who is like (or desires to be like) God.

“It is very clear that all of this points to Apollyon the Beast from the abyss. At present, he is hidden away in Tartarus. His name means destroyer, and he desires to be like God. In his former days he was the king of Babylon, and when he is released from the abyss he will once again assume that title and position as the king of an Empire called Babylon the Great.” From Alien Antichrist by Jeffrey A. Wingo, pgs. 240-241.

I believe this is what John meant when he said to count the number of the Beast. All of these clues, hidden deep in the pages of the Bible, your Bible, reveal the meaning behind the number 666 and point directly to the identity of the Antichrist Beast. This is what John meant when he said:

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 (Revelation 13:18).

By now, it should be abundantly clear that all of the information in this series of articles reveals the identity of the Antichrist as the Beast from the abyss (Revelation 9:11). I realize this may not satisfy every person out there, but the information I have given you is BIBLICAL, that is what is most important. There is too much information out there based on speculation and opinion, therefore, my point is that we need to get back to the Word of God, the Bible.

Also, please note that all of my information comes from the authorized King James Bible, so if you are using a modern translation you may discover that some of this information you will not find in some new translations. I am not “King James Only” and I am certainly not legalistic about Bible versions; but if you do some checking you may find that the old venerable King James Bible was put together by godly, scholarly, men who translated the Bible using very strict protocols. They did not play linguistic gymnastics as some scholars have done with most of the modern versions–just my opinion, yours may differ on this subject!

A NEST AMONG THE STARS by Jeff Wingo

June 30, 2018

On Monday June 18, 2018, President Donald Trump called for the establishment of a separate United States Space Force, creating a sixth branch of the U.S. military. I find that interesting not only due to the fact that the Space Force will be the “sixth” branch of the armed forces, but that the 6th branch placed in outer space is located in the domain of the Fallen angels, ruled by the Prince of the Power of the Air, which is the spirit of antichrist (Ephesians 2:2).

During remarks at a Meeting with the National Space Council, President Trump said, “Very importantly, I’m here by directing the Department of Defense and Pentagon to immediately begin the process necessary to establish a space force as the sixth branch of the armed forces. That’s a big statement.”

I find that interesting on several levels. First, the Space Force is the sixth branch of the armed forces. The first five, Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, and Coast Guard, currently represent the combined military power of the United States, and indeed, symbolically represents the military power of the world system, whether we are talking about the United States, China, Russia, etc.

In the Bible numbers have meaning, and concerning nations and world empires, we find the number five symbolizing world empires in Daniel chapter 2. In that momentous chapter, we see Daniel interpreting a dream for king Nebuchadnezzar, a dream of a great image of a metal man. The metal statue vividly described as having a head of gold, breast and arms of silver, belly and thighs of brass, two legs of iron, and finally feet and ten toes consisting of a mixture of iron and clay. Five characteristics symbolically describing the order of world empires.

A through study of Daniel chapters 2, 7, 8 and parts of 11, demonstrate that the interpretation describes world empires from Babylon to the return of Christ. The preciseness of the prophecy is the reason Bible critics and scoffers love to pick apart the book of Daniel. Yet, the Bible stands true, and we do have a more sure word of prophecy (2 Peter 1:19). Daniel is the Word of God and Daniel is a prophet as attested by Jesus Christ (Matthew 24:15). With that said, we find 5 descending empires described in chapter 2:

• Babylon is the head of gold (vs. 38).
• The Breast and Arms of Silver symbolize the Medo-Persian Empire (vs. 39).
• The Belly and Thighs of Brass represent the Empire of Alexander the Great (vs. 39), which was later divided by his four generals after the death of Alexander.
• The Two Legs of Iron symbolize the Roman Empire (vs. 40) and its later division into two empires, Rome in the west and Byzantium in the east.
• The Ten Toes of Iron mixed with Clay, End-Time Empire of the Antichrist Beast (vs. 41 – 43).

The final Empire, noted as a kingdom set up by the “God of heaven” (vs. 44), is represented as a stone cut out of a mountain without hands (without human agency), a stone which crushes the world empires of man, and the debris of human government blown away by the wind (power of the Holy Spirit). The Stone represents the coming of the Messiah, the Millennial kingdom of Jesus Christ, who is the Chief Corner stone of the church (Ephesians 2:20). Interestingly, 1 Peter 2:8 calls Jesus, “a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence (1 Peter 2:8); and Matthew 21:44 says, “And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder” (See also Luke 20:18).

It should be noted that in Daniel’s list of empires the kingdom of “the Stone,” being the kingdom of Christ, is number 6—is that because the coming of Jesus Christ stops the progression of man beyond the number 6? I believe so, and this demonstrates that God will only allow man to go so far before judgement comes.

Six is the number for man—the creation of man took place on the sixth day, and men are to work for six days and rest on the seventh day. The sixth commandment prohibits the murder of man, and if man goes beyond his decreed boundary, multiples of 6 begin to appear, as in the number of the Beast, 666, leading man away from God and into a satanic form of life and worship.

Even though the number 5 symbolically represents the military might of the United States, and indeed, is symbolic of all the nations of the world dominated by the spirit of antichrist, man desires to take human government further, into a domain that is not his, the stars of heaven. That is why I find the number 6 in this context very intriguing—6 is the number of man, and multiples of 6 represent the kingdom of Antichrist, as in the infamous number of the Beast 666 (Revelation 13:18).

God gave man dominion over the Earth, which is humanity’s domain. Yet, we have been reaching beyond that boundary for years, beginning at the Tower of Babel with “A city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven…” (Genesis 11:4). I think we may include in this our missions into outer space (which is a reach into the heavens, a place which declares the glory of God, Psalm 19), and now man desires to build a city and a tower on the planet Mars. I find it interesting that NASA named the lunar module on the first manned mission to the moon, Apollo 11, the Eagle.

Obadiah 1:4: Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the LORD.

patch

Additionally, the Eagle landed on the Sea of Tranquility. According to Webster, the word tranquility means “Calmness, quiet”, which refers to the place of landing for the Eagle—the calm sea. The word tranquility only appears once in the Bible, it is an Aramaic word (shĕlevah, Strong’s H7963), which Gesenius describes as security, and is found in Daniel 4: 27 when the prophet, speaking to king Nebuchadnezzar, counsels him to turn from sin to the God of heaven.

Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity.

Only God gives man peace, without God, or specifically the Lord Jesus (our only way to the Father), man has no peace, nor forgiveness of sin. Nevertheless, speculating about this I have to wonder: is this why Satan and the Antichrist will pretend to come from the stars, as extraterrestrial aliens? Obviously, Satan also reached beyond his boundary and desired the place of God. Moreover, he wanted to soar above the stars of God and be “like God” to the rest of creation; hence his desire for the worship of men and angels.

Isaiah 14:13-14: For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

One day in the future, only a day that God knows, Satan and his angels shall be cast from the heavens to Earth (Revelation 12:7-9). On that day, humankind will experience a true extraterrestrial visitation. Over the years billions of people have been indoctrinated into Darwinian evolution, and when the Fallen Ones come to Earth, they will provide “proof” for that big lie—and unfortunately the Strong Delusion will pour over the Earth like Noah’s flood.

Luke 17:26: And as it was in the days of Noe (Noah), so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

666: CALCULATING THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST, PART THREE by Jeff Wingo

June 2, 2015

Vanity of vanities, all is vanity. Old and meditative king Solomon by Isaac Asknaziy.

Vanity of vanities, all is vanity. Old and meditative king Solomon by Isaac Asknaziy.

As we studied in the last article, later in life King Solomon became a type of the Antichrist Beast. He is one of the signs in the Bible that point to the identity of the Antichrist. Once we study all of the relevant information then we will have enough facts to “cast a vote” to decide the case before us, Antichrist vs. God, and the People of Earth.

Lucifer, by Alessandro Vellutello (1534), for Dante's Inferno, canto 34

Lucifer, by Alessandro Vellutello (1534), for Dante’s Inferno, canto 34

As the Bible reveals, Solomon departed from Yahweh, the God of heaven, and began to follow the occult gnosis or hidden knowledge of the god of this world. Paul called Satan the theos or god of this world (2 Cor.4:4); the English world is the Greek word aiōn or age–which refers to the current period of time until the redemption of all things and Christ returns.

Jesus called Satan the prince or archon of this world (John 12:31). The Greek archon refers to his present position as the chief ruler of the evil world system or kosmos, during the present aion or age.

The kosmos in turn refers to the ungodly world system we are surrounded by; concerning the lost mass of humanity it refers to “the ungodly multitude; the whole mass of men alienated from God, and therefore hostile to the cause of Christ.”  (Thayer-Strong’s G2889 – kosmos); concerning the things of this world it refers to ” the whole circle of earthly goods, endowments riches, advantages, pleasures, etc., which although hollow and frail and fleeting, stir desire, seduce from God and are obstacles to the cause of Christ” (Thayer, Ibid). Considering all of this John rightly states that “the whole world lieth in wickedness” (1 John 5:19). What that means is that the whole world “lies in the power of the evil one, i.e., is held in subjection by the devil” (Thayer).

Both Solomon and the Antichrist Beast are followers of the same corrupted leader, the Archon or Chief Ruler of the kosmos or world system. Satan corrupted both kings; he used Solomon to work evil on Earth among Israel and the surrounding nations; thus extending a corrupting influence to many other lands; and in the future Satan will use the Antichrist Beast to corrupt and destroy the great majority of mankind during the Tribulation.

A Comparison of King Solomon And the Antichrist, Apollyon, the Beast from the Abyss: Revelation 9:11

   King Solomon, associated with the number 666

Antichrist Beast: Apollyon the Destroyer, associated with the number 666

Abandoned God to follow the ruling Archon

Abandoned God to follow the ruling Archon

Sought occult knowledge from alien gods (fallen angels, demons)

Sought occult knowledge from alien god (Satan)

Sacrificed human children for occult power

Will sacrifice humans (Christians, Jews, and resistors) for occult power

Blasphemed God of heaven through his actions

Will blaspheme God of heaven through his words and deeds

Destroyed his nation through idol worship, immorality, and child sacrifice

Will destroy the world through devil worship; the cult of the Dragon and the Beast, which includes human sacrifice

What did Solomon get in exchange for this? All in all it spoiled and corrupted the nation of Israel. This later resulted in the division of the nation; Judah in the South, and Israel in the north. Is it without doubt that Solomon was mightily deceived, but was he deceived by these demon gods because they visually appeared to him as God has done earlier in his life? Is it possible that Moloch appeared as a visual manifestation in much the same way that alien beings appear to people today?

Concerning idol worship Paul wrote:

“What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?  But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.  Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils” (1 Cor.10:19-21).

Because Solomon was directly involved with the worship of fallen beings he may have had a visitation. After all, these are the same beings who now appear to people as aliens.

Think about this: the aliens that many people are longing to meet have been here in the past–they are the ancient gods of blood and sacrifice, Moloch, and all of the other incarnations. Now they pretend to be aliens!

666-mark-of-the-beast_jpg_w560h420The Bible reveals the true identity of the Antichrist; its been hidden in plain sight in YOUR copy of the Bible. Significantly, John the Revelator exposed the identity of the Antichrist within the text of the book of Revelation three times so that Christians in the future will not be deceived. I believe John intended that we would use the number 666; and that we would search the biblical text for the meaning of the number, further exposing the identity of the Beast. All of the information in these articles will help you to know how to apply the number 666 to the biblical text of both Testaments; these biblical types found in the text will reveal the meaning behind the number.

Who is the Antichrist? John revealed his identity three times:

  • Rev. 11:7:  And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
  • Rev.17:8: The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

Revelation 9:11 places a name on the Beast:

And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.

It is significant that the name of the Beast is Destroyer. Just as Jesus came to save his people from their sin (Matt.1:21), so the beast will destroy his people through sin, as the man of sin (2 Thess. 2:3); he is the son of perdition, which means destruction.

Another King, Nebuchadnezzar, set up an image on the plain of Dura:

People_Forced_to_Worship_Idol_by_King_Nebuchadnezzar_001

“Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits (60), and the breadth thereof six cubits (6): he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon…That at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer (6 instruments), and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up”  (Daniel 3:1, 5).

Here in Daniel chapter 3 is another revelation of the number of the Beast, 666. The image is 60 cubits high, and six cubits wide. The dimensions of the image provide us with 2-6’s. Count the number of musical instruments in verse five and it reveals the third 6, for the signpost of Antichrist, 666.

Why is the number 666 tied in with this verse? As I explained in an earlier article called, Creation of the Image of the Beast, the number 666 points to the Antichrist Beast and the image that will be created in the mind of the beast followers during the Tribulation. This image will cause the beast followers to worship the Beast through the mental image. This is just another confirmation that Apollyon is the Beast who will arise from the abyss to assume his position as the end-time Antichrist.

In my next post I will continue exploring the biblical connection to Apollyon the Beast from the abyss, and the number of his name 666, with his ancient progeny, the Nephilim.

666 CALCULATING THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST, PART ONE by Jeff Wingo

May 24, 2015 2 Comments

Revelation 13:18 Revealing the Number of the Beast

Revelation 13:18
Revealing the Number of the Beast

Do you know how to calculate the number of the Beast? If we follow what the Bible has to say it will eliminate much of the confusion and useless speculation which has haunted all attempts to solve this enigma.

When the Apostle John wrote the Revelation he expected his readers to be able to calculate the number correctly. After all, he begins the verse with these words: “Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding count the number of the beast…”. In other words, John is saying the verse itself holds the key to understand the mystery–“Here is Sophia, which is the Greek word for wisdom. It specifically refers to understanding  that is “broad and full of intelligence; used of the knowledge of very diverse matters.” Thayer says that it is “the intelligence evinced in discovering the meaning of some mysterious number or vision.” The word sophia comes from a root sophos which refers to someone wise,  a skilled craftsman, a worker, a learned man, who forms the best plans and uses the best means to execute the plans.

So get ready, get your pencils sharpened, and allow the Bible and the Holy Spirit to guide us to the solution. The answer is not that difficult, and as you will learn, all of the answers are found in the history, the Law, and the prophets. Since the Bible is God’s book, where else would we look?

Calculating the Number

Revelation 13:18:  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.

With wisdom and understanding through the Scriptures let us begin to count the number of the Beast.

The word count is a mathematical term. It does mean to “to count with pebbles, to compute, calculate, reckon.” But many people throughout the centuries stop there; and what they do is use gematria to try to match a name with the number 666.

Nero-Caesar-666-e1404339527796This can work with certain names, for instance, many in the early church and others in later history applied this to Nero, the Roman Emperor from 54 to 68 A.D.. But do we use Hebrew gematria or Greek?

neronkaisar

In our example the name of Nero Caesar, or Greek Neron Kaisr (Kaiser)  equals the sum, 666. But is Nero the Antichrist? The truth is, he is a type of Antichrist because of his evil brutality against Christians, Jews, and others. But was he the Antichrist, the Beast John wrote about in Revelation? The answer is no, he was not the Antichrist. I have come to understand this because we are missing vital information needed to make a logical case proving the identity of the Antichrist Beast; and without that information we will be incorrect every time. That is why many people have been wrong and made fools of themselves and in the process, have discredited Bible prophecy in the eyes of the church and the world.

World Leaders Accused of being the Antichrist into Contemporary Times

Ronald Reagan Does this man look like the Antichrist??? Of course not!

Ronald Reagan
Does this man look like the Antichrist??? Of course not!

Did you know that in the 1980’s a few Christians (actually quite a lot more than just a few) were running around passing the word from church to church that Ronald Wilson Reagan was the Antichrist? Count the letters of his name and I bet you will end up with three 6’s.

Mikhail Gorbachev Look at his forehead, does that birthmark look like a dragon??? Of course not!

Mikhail Gorbachev
Look at his forehead, does that birthmark look like a dragon??? Of course not!

Or, that the leader of the now defunct Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev, was the antichrist because he had a birthmark on his forehead that some kooky Christians said resembled a dragon (of all things).

Henry Kissinger, the Pope (doesn’t matter, just pick one), Adolph Hitler, Napoleon, Pol Pot, Mussolini (although some Christians thought he was the False Prophet), Joseph Stalin, Chairman Mao; and the following, especially among American Christians, Richard Nixon, Bill Clinton, and (not surprised here) Barack Obama. All of these men have been accused (sadly) by Christians of being the Antichrist!

So with all this calculating going on I went online and found an English gematria calculator, and I couldn’t resist: Jeffrey Wingo = Ah, sorry, its 858, thank God my fears have been relieved, I am not the Antichrist!

The Apostle John did not intend that we should go through all of these numerical gymnastics.

What John intended was that we would use wisdom, “Here is wisdom.” Then he says, “Let him that hath understanding count the number of the Beast.”

The word count is the Greek word psēphizō (Strong’s G5585),  and it means to count with pebbles, to compute, calculate, reckon. It also means to explain by computing, in other words, to compute or put together the facts of a court case, to decide by voting.

Now in order to vote on a court case a jury must consider the facts of the case. Once the defense and prosecution have presented all of the facts the members of the jury must then consider those facts, and based on that information cast a vote of guilt or innocence.

So, in the ancient courts of justice, after the jury has heard all the facts, the accused were then condemned by either a black pebble or acquitted by a white pebble. That is what the Greek word  psēphizō means, and that is exactly what I believe John meant when he wrote, “Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast…”

He didn’t mean to run off half-cocked and accuse political and religious leaders of being the Antichrist just because their name or title added up to 666. That is not using wisdom, but considering all of the facts of the case, Antichrist vs. God and the People of Earth, takes time, just like the time it takes to present all of the pertinent facts in a court of law.

 The Number 666

“for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.”

Think about this: the number 666 is the number of a man. That being the case then perhaps we should find out all of the facts about that man. That research in turn will provide us with the identity of the man and demonstrate how he is related to the infamous number 666; and that information will allow us to properly calculate the number, correctly identifying the Antichrist Beast.

Here are some men (and one planet/god) in the Bible associated with the number 666, the number of the Beast:

  • King Solomon
  • King Nebuchadnezzar
  • Nephilim giants such as Goliath and others
  • Sethur
  • Adonikam
  • The planet Saturn–yes many of the ancient Israelites worshiped the planet Saturn.

Search the Bible for yourself and see if you make the connection between the number 666 and these men, and one cosmic deity, Saturn. Many Christians who read the Bible are actually startled to learn that the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, actually had competition for worship in the Old Testament. In fact, many of the ancient Israelites worshipped Saturn during the period of time spent in the wilderness with Moses. Then, when they were settled in the land they went all out worshipping this entity; when in fact this entity is associated with the Beast of Revelation and the number 6, the number of man.

Once you see the connection to the number 666 it will lead to one incredible conclusion: The Bible does indeed reveal the true identity of the Antichrist Beast! No more guessing, no more questions, you will know for sure that the Bible holds the key to his identity. Then all of that foolish speculation will finally end!

All of that I will address in my next post, until then, may God bless you!

If you would like to learn more about 666 the number of the Beast, and how UFOs and aliens will be used as the great delusion of the last days during the coming Tribulation, then I recommend to you my book Alien Antichrist, The Terrifying Truth about UFOs and Aliens, Antichrist, and the End of Days.

The Antichrist Beast and the Beast system of Babylon the Great will use UFOs and aliens to deceive the world. Daniel foretold the coming of an alien god in the last days. Get the book, increase your knowledge of Bible prophecy and you will not be caught off guard by the great deception. You may get the book at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and at other fine bookstores as a print on demand title. And, if you have Kindle Unlimited or Kindle Prime you may download a copy free for a limited time!
