[tablet123]

Who is the man, six hundred threescore and six? Revelation 13:18

Rev 13:16 And he causeth 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 man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Rev 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.

The number 666 is the number of the antichrist but also the number of his occult kingdom that follow him.

The number 666 has to do with technology and the beast's agenda to reduce crime, and fighting for a more peaceful world keeping tabs on the people.

United Nations Agenda 21 for the 21st century which is a sustainability act.

They want to move all people in to the cities, and no development can happen outside city limits, and the people are the police force.

They want to give the people a microchip under the skin linked to satellite like a GPS tracking system for humans.

They can watch the people, and know their location, and if a crime happens they will know who was in the area, and how close they were to the crime scene.

This will cut out judges, lawyers, and the now known police force.

All information about the person will be on the chip including finances for it is the one world economic system.

Rev 13:16 And he causeth 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 man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Rev 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.

chi xi stigma
khee xee stig'-ma
The 22nd, 14th and an obsolete letter (G4742 as a cross) of the Greek alphabet (intermediate between the 5th and 6th), used as numbers; denoting respectively 600, 60 and 6; 666 as a numeral: - six hundred threescore and six.

stigma
stig'-mah
From a primary word στίζω stizō (to “stick”, that is, prick); a mark incised or punched (for recognition of ownership), that is, (figuratively) scar of service: - mark.

The mark of the beast is something stuck under something and since it is given to a person it is stuck under their skin.

The New Age Christ's agenda is there is no personal God to help mankind but their technology can help them to deter crime, and have peace.

The new age is of the occult and the occult believes in the power of numbers and the timing, adding, and grouping of numbers which they believe will give them more power through nature.

6 is the number of a person, or the soul of a person, so the antichrist has the number 666, a triple 6, which he believes will give him more power to evolve to be spiritual, and greater, and establish his kingdom.

666 is the number that exalts people in the occult.

They want to convince the world if they embrace the number 666 they will have the power to evolve, and transform the world.

1Ti 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
1Ti 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron.

2Ti 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
2Ti 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
2Ti 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

The new age that interprets the Bible and religions according to the occult and evolution, and people are going to evolve to be spiritual, and greater, and Jesus became an ascended master among others, and there is no personal God, but they honor the God of forces the power of the Cosmos, and the New Age Christ is the next world teacher.

The time will come that people will not want to hear the truth of the Bible but want to hear it according to the new age.

The New Age Christ/ antichrist will be of the new age which he will push the agenda of the new age to change the world to that format which he will think to change times and laws.

Where do you find a Greek supporting the definite article “the’ in Rev. 13:18, making it “the man”? Greek scholars, liberal to conservative stay with “a”.

The Greek is not “arsen” for male, it is “anthropos” for human. Therefore, a more accurate English translation is:

This calls for wisdom: let him who has understanding reckon the number of the beast, for it is a human number, its number is six hundred and sixty-six. (Rev 13:18 Revised Standard Version)

Maybe the emphasis is meant to be between God and creature, rather than making it specifically a male, in this verse.

 

[ChristRoseFromTheDead]

IMO 666 is the number of man. Not a man, or the man, simply man. If i do a search for the number of God it returns 777.

Thank you, for the reply.

"MANKIND" would be a truer translation as the abbreviation of 'Mankind' - 'Man' and 'men' is referred too many times.

The separation is "mankind" from "Spiritual-man within" - "the True Spiritual Jew'.

The Hebrews and Greek translations did not leave out the 'females', how ever the later(newer) translations seemed hell bent on pushing their misogynistic agendas.

I see a need to clarify the intent of my post, which was the distinction between God and creature. I am in no way whatsoever in agreement with modern, twisted, feminist theology! God the Holy Spirit inspired men to write in the patriarchal perspective, but that is NOT misogyny. If the feminists are not happy with biblical patriarchy, take it up with God, not the translators.

If there are newer translations that are misogynistic, please give the specific translation and scripture reference that is such. That way it can be discussed intelligently, because translators are not infallible.

It is dangerous to read modern definitions into the biblical language. For example, biblical marriage is between male and female, in spite of the modern changing of the definition to mean “The legally or formally recognized union of two people as partners in a personal relationship”.

How I go about studying the Word in Spirit is to use the original root of the word in question. This way I do not add no subtract from the Word of God, by inserting modern definition that change with politics or religion' endeavors of their own false interpretations of Holy scriptures.

The misogynistic is NO way in the Word of God as God does not play favorites, how ever in politics and religions the misogynistic towards females and the submission of females is plain as day, and it comes fro their own sick interpretations of the Word WITHOUT a fellowship with the Holy Spirit.

Modern definition I use as a guide to the root word and if both the Biblical terms and definition terms are alike , then I am not picky in using either.

The Word of God is in and of itself SPIRITUAL content. I am sure you read the many scriptures that support this TRUTH.

Jesus quoted "In Heaven there is no male nor female" , reason being the Heavens are heights of discernment not living quarters.

The Word basically is referring to the UNION of two spirits becoming one in union with the other few and called out by God, the Elect of God , the Sons of God.

Flesh is an enemy to God , therefore it is proclaimed : "the flesh profits nothing from the Kingdom Spirit of God Spirit."

The principle of marriage is not taken up in the Heavens as it is meaningless.

When Jesus was confronted on an issue as to who's wife was the female, who married three of the brothers. Jesus answered in Spirit but it still was a parable, using fleshy concepts in the Spiritual teachings.

thnx for the reply
