The number 666 of the man at the end of Revelation 13:
Rev 13:18
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.
KJV
The "man" that is about is this one:
Rev 12:7-12
7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
KJV
Did you know that Satan, the dragon, that old serpent, the devil, has the image appearance of a man? Did you know that God even called Lucifer a man?
Isa 14:12-17
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 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:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?
KJV
The image of man is from God's Own Image likeness (Gen.1:26-27). He created the angels with that image also, not just us in the flesh (Gen.18 with the two angels sent to Lot; seen with the image of man).
The reason why that 666 is Satan's number, is because that is when he is cast out of Heaven to this earth in the last days.
6th Seal:
Rev 6:12-14
12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
KJV
That 6th Seal description includes events on the final day of this world ("day of the Lord") but also... the event of Satan being cast down to this earth for the tribulation time. The "untimely figs" is about the winter fig that grows in winter and falls off in the spring. It's an early fig; a too early fig. It represents the time of Satan and his angels cast down to this earth, prior to the time of our Lord Jesus' coming, and thus before summer harvest (which is the proper time of harvest by Christ). If you be in Christ Jesus, then you want to be as a fig harvested in the summer of His coming, not in the spring of false messiah's coming.
Thus the 6th Seal includes a metaphor to show the time of Satan's coming as the Antichrist.
6th Trumpet:
Rev 9:11-15
11 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.
12 One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.
13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
KJV
That "king" is the "angel of the bottomless pit". so who is that? It's Satan himself. Those names are his, and mean The Destroyer. Greek Apollyon is from the Greek where the word 'perdition' comes from. Satan and his angels only so far, have already been judged and sentenced to perish in the future "lake of fire". No flesh man has been judged thus yet today. So that name Apollyon for Satan especially points to that.
That time of loosing of the four angels bound at the river Euphrates symbolizes the spiritual border between Satan and his hosts and God's people, being removed. The Euphrates was the border line between the lands God gave Israel with Israel's enemies on the other side. This event here on the 6th Trumpet - 2nd Woe symbolizes the opening of that border with Satan and his host being cast down to this earth for the tribulation, coming to spiritually attack God's people.
So there's two 6's to make 66. What about the last 6?
6th Vial:
Rev 16:12-14
12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
KJV
There it is again, the opening up of that border of the river Euphrates, with Satan's host attacking God's people and the world with the spirits of devils, working miracles. We are shown the "another beast" of Rev.13:11 forward will appear with two horns like a lamb (Jesus), but will speak as a dragon. It's because he will be the "dragon", Satan himself, when this symbolic border of Euphrates is opened up on the 6th Trumpet and 6th Vial.
There you have it. The 666 number of the beast. It's about the timing when the real tribulation events of false worship with the coming pseudo-Christ will come, requiring all to bow in worship to the "image of the beast" Satan will setup in worship of himself on earth, and his doing great signs and wonders, even raining fire down from heaven in the sight of men.
And you actually thought some flesh born man was going to do all that? Think again brethren.
