Revelation Chapter 13 VERSE 18 continued “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.” The following we add as an addendum to our study on Verse 18 and the number of the beast as we hope it will prove of further insight. His Number is 666 “Some believe that every word and letter of Scriptures was divinely directed. This has led to…
Revelation Chapter 13 VERSE 18 continued “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.” The Golden Image There is a direct comparison to be made between the golden image of the Book of Daniel and the image of the beast in the Apocalypse. Image of Beast (Revelation 13:18) 600 (six hundred) 60 (threescore) 6 (six) 666 Image of Gold (Daniel 3:1) Height…
Revelation Chapter 13 VERSE 18 continued “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.” The tiara, in ecclesiastical usage, is the triple crown of the pope. It is a beehive-shaped, somewhat bulging, approximately 15-inch-high headpiece preferentially made of either silver or gold cloth encircled by three coronets, with a mound and cross of gold on top and two loose pendants or streamers…
Revelation Chapter 13 VERSE 18 continued “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.” The following testimony that the title Vicarius Filii Dei was formerly inscribed on the papal crown was given by the late Elder D. E. Scoles, of Washburn, Mo.: — “‘I have met two men who declare that they have seen this specific crown; and their testimony is so…
Revelation Chapter 13 VERSE 18 “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.” HERE IS WISDOM: What a marvelous way to catch our attention! Everyone would like to be wise. But the meaning is NOT that. It means, as does Daniel 12:10, that those who are blessed with God’s favor will understand, and no one else. LET HIM WHO HAS UNDERSTANDING: No…
Revelation Chapter 13 VERSE 16-17 continued “And he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand or in their foreheads, 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.” (KJV) Some thoughts from the past on this subject. “The time is hastening on when a religious, social, political and financial “boycott” will…
Revelation Chapter 13 VERSE 17 “…and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark; the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” AND THAT NO ONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO BUY OF TO SELL: in the spiritual marketplace of ideas (i.e., with respects to writing, preaching, teaching and etc., as in regards to teaching and interpretation of scripture). This HAS already begun. Those who have the truth have been systematically excluded from…
Revelation Chapter 13 VERSE 16 continued “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…” As we discussed in our previous post in order to avoid receiving the mark of the beast it is important that we rightly understand just whom or what the beast is. Knowing this much will greatly aid us when the true test comes, when we are called upon to…
Revelation Chapter 13 VERSE 16 continued “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…” It’s strange the amount of time many believers spend imaging what the “mark of the beast” might be, and yet so little time and effort in determining the truth as to who or what the beast itself actually is. There are as many theories in regards to “beast” as…
Revelation Chapter 13 VERSE 16 continued “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…” (As explained in The Keys of Revelation) “This text indicates a far more aggressive policy on the part of the already organized 1948 Amsterdam union (or another similar alliance) of non-Roman churches with the second beast, which formerly possessed lamblike horns. At a future date the alliance will take…
