Chapter 1:

Facts, Not Fiction

“Beware of false knowledge.”

—George Bernard Shaw,

Irish critic, Nobel Prize winner

As we’ve already discovered, the mysterious number 666 appears only once in the Holy Bible, inside the Book of Revelation, in chapter 13, verse 18. There’s little doubt that this solitary reference inside the world’s all-time best-selling Volume is the root reason why the number itself has garnered such infamous notoriety worldwide. In this chapter I’m going to put numerous biblical pieces together so you can begin to discern a much larger—and more accurate—picture quite different from what most novels, movies, videos, Web sites, and speculative theories will tell you.

Let’s start by looking again at the “mother text” within the Holy Bible’s last book:

Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666. Revelation 13:18, NKJV.

Upon close analysis we discover:

1.We need “wisdom” and “understanding” to comprehend this topic. According to the Bible, true wisdom and understanding come from God, as it is written, “The Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.” Proverbs 2:6. The statement that we need “wisdom” and “understanding” implies that we must look beyond shallow theories, focus carefully, think soberly, ponder earnestly, and pray for God’s help.

2.The appeal for us to find “wisdom” and “understanding” also indicates that the biblical message about 666 can be understood. If it were incomprehensible, this appeal would not make sense.

3.The number 666 is specifically “the number of the beast.” Thus, we must also study “the beast” itself (more on this soon). When we understand what 666 really means, such enlightenment will help us to more accurately discern the true identity of the beast itself.

4.The number 666 is also “the number of a man.” When we gain “understanding” about 666, this will help us to discern the identity of a specific “man” who is somehow connected to the beast.

5.“His number is 666.” While many Bibles translate 666 as a sequence of three sixes (one six, followed by a second six, and then a third six), the literal Greek text underlying our English Bibles states it differently. Notice how the King James Version, which carefully translates Revelation 13:18 based on the underlying Greek text, puts it:

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 (KJV, emphasis added).

“Six hundred threescore and six,” states the KJV. The difference is subtle but significant. Follow closely. Three consecutive sixes (6 6 6) would imply that we simply need to locate three consecutive sixes in the right place to identify “the beast” and the “man” associated with it. But “six hundred threescore and six” is different, meaning that it is not just a matter of locating three sixes in a row (6 6 6), but rather a larger number, “Six hundred threescore and six,” to be exact.

In Old English, a “score” refers to 20 years. That’s what U.S. President Abraham Lincoln meant when during his famous Gettysburg Address given on November 19, 1863, he stated, “Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.” “Four score” means 4 × 20, or eighty years. Plus “seven years” brings the total to 87 years. Looking back 87 years from 1863 when President Lincoln gave that speech took his hearers back to 1776 when America first issued its Declaration of Independence from England.

Let’s do the same with “six hundred threescore and six.” First, we have “six hundred.” That’s easy enough. Next, “threescore,” or 3 × 20, which equals “sixty.” Finally, adding the last “six,” the exact phrase as written in the Bible should be translated as “six hundred sixty and six.” Thus, this phrase isn’t exactly three sixes in a row (or 6 6 6), but rather “six hundred sixty and six.” In other words, we are not looking primarily for three sixes in a row (as in 6 6 6), but rather for “six hundred sixty and six.” The difference is subtle, but, as we will soon see, significant.

6.In the King James Version of the Holy Bible, Revelation 13:18 states that we must “count” in order to reach “six hundred sixty and six.” The New King James translates “count” as “calculate.” Thus, once again, we are not looking just for three sixes in a row (6 6 6), but instead we must do some counting, or calculating, in order to finally arrive at “six hundred sixty and six.”

Don’t worry.

I will explain all of this soon.

7.Looking closely at Revelation 13:16, 17, which comes right before the verse mentioning “six hundred sixty and six” (vs. 18), we also discover something else:

He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 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. Revelation 13:16, 17.

Here three separate things are listed: (1) The “mark” of the beast. (2) “The name of the beast.” (3) “The number of his name.” Each is distinct. This book will focus on #3: “The number of his name.” We know from Revelation 13:18 that “the number of the beast” is 666, or more precisely, “six hundred sixty and six.” But Revelation 13:17 provides a new detail that this number is also “the number of his [the beast’s] name.” This critical piece of intelligent information is repeated in Revelation 15:1, 2. Notice carefully:

Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous: seven angels having the seven last plagues, for in them the wrath of God is complete. And I saw something like a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who have the victory over the beast, over his image and over his mark and over the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God. Revelation 15:1, 2 (emphasis added).

This passage is similar to Revelation 13:16, 17, yet this time four things are listed: (1) The beast. (2) His image. (3) His mark. (4) “The number of his name.” Thus, twice (once in Revelation 13:17 and again in Revelation 15:2), this mysterious “number” (which calculates out to “six hundred sixty and six”) is also called “the number of his name.” What’s more, “the beast” and its “man” have a specific “name” that we must first identify. Once we find the correct “name,” and then somehow “count” or “calculate” the “number of his name” (which implies taking the name, and then doing some calculating), we will discover that it calculates out to “six hundred sixty and six.” Once we have that information, we can then more fully identify “the beast” itself whose deceptions we must avoid if we are to follow the Lamb.

Here is a simple 8-point summary of what we have learned so far:

1.We need “wisdom” and “understanding” to grasp this topic.

2.Thus it is possible to acquire “wisdom” and “understanding” about 666.

3.The number 666 is “the number of the beast”; thus, we also must understand “the beast” itself.

4.The number 666 is also “the number of a man”; thus, we must also understand what “man” is connected to “the beast.”

5.The number of both “the beast” and its “man” is 666. Or more precisely, six hundred sixty and six.

6.To arrive at this “number” we must “count” or “calculate.”

7.This mysterious “number” is also “the number of his name.” Thus, we are looking specifically for a certain “name” that belongs to both “the beast” and its “man.”...
