# Rev 13:18 This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the
beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666.
Bible is a great compendium of 66 different books informing mankind of the past, present and future. The first book to be printed after John Gutenberg invented the printing machine is the Bible, which is being read by the people. However man wants novelty, longevity and trying to reach immortality being under the impression that physical pleasures are everlasting. The Bible reveals us great facts about Genesis and the flood but man does not want to acknowledge these great facts and he is simply wallowing in mud. He is not going to the root of the various natural catastrophes. If only he can realize the greatness of Bible since childhood he would be better off.
# Eph 6:4 Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.
# Gen 18:19 For I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing what is right and just, so that the LORD will bring about for Abraham what he has promised him."
# Deut 4:8-9 And what other nation is so great as to have such righteous decrees and laws as this body of laws I am setting before you today? Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them.
# Deut 6:6-9 These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.
# Deut 11:19 Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
# Ps 78:4-5 We will not hide them from their children; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the LORD, his power, and the wonders he has done. He decreed statutes for Jacob and established the law in Israel, which he commanded our forefathers to teach their children,
# Prov 19:18 Discipline your son, for in that there is hope; do not be a willing party to his death.
# Prov 22:6 Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.
# Prov 29:17-18 Discipline your son, and he will give you peace; he will bring delight to your soul. Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; but blessed is he who keeps the law.
# 2 Tim 3:14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it.
The parents too are not initiating their children into the lore of Bible but are educating them through spending lacks of rupees. By educating them in mundane knowledge they want to demand more dowry for their children. This criteria is plaguing Christianity now a days. The vivisection of Christianity is a result of lack of understanding. Each denomination have their own Bible and most Christians are like the blind men in the parable of elephant and blind men. They dispute, contend and quarrel. Even though Bible aims at one Baptism there is no agreement regarding baptism as well. They forget the fact that God ordained that there should be only one congregation and today we have countless congregations. False teaching, false preaching is the order of the day. If they are questioned about the authenticity their answer is – ‘that is how they were revealed’. They are relegating the Bible. Today’s Christianity is like dogs dinner. Each one circumscribes their flock because they are afraid of their livelihood. Most congregations are caste based. God could foresee this situation and let us see what He said in the Bible.
# 2 Tim 4:2-5 Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage-with great patience and careful instruction. For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.
# Luke 2:40,42,49 And the child grew and became strong; he was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him. When he was twelve years old, they went up to the Feast, according to the custom. "Why were you searching for me?" he asked. "Didn't you know I had to be in my Father's house?"
From the word of God you can guess for yourself the plight of Christianity. Can you grasp the truth of the Bible surrounded by false preachers and false congregations? When will you teach your children? Many Christian parents are not initiating their children into the knowledge of God as described in the Bible but are making their children conversant in the mundane knowledge. They seek temporal pleasures but not eternal life.
# 1 Cor 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God's sight. As it is written: "He catches the wise in their craftiness"
# Rom 12:2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will.
# Prov 4:5-8 Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or swerve from them. Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you. Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding. Esteem her, and she will exalt you; embrace her, and she will honor you.
# Prov 23:23 Buy the truth and do not sell it; get wisdom, discipline and understanding.
Are you justified in spending your hard earned money in the pursuit of the temporal knowledge, which is also temporary while God commands that you need to spend a lot to gain the knowledge of Bible? You seem to live for Satan instead for God. The number 666 signifies not the word of God but heretical teaching. Each impostor claims his source to be God. Bible alone can answer the questions raised by it while human intellect cannot comprehend the Bible and hence the various misinterpretations of the number 666 have come into existence. To save you from such a predicament it is my humble attempt to interpret the number 666.
Revelation 13:18 is being divided into 4 parts by me.
1. Let the insight calculate the number of the beast.
2. It is a man’s number.
3. His number is 666.
4. This calls for wisdom.
The 4 parts each read separately reveals knowledge of the Bible. It is like diffusing a bomb. Diffused properly it is harmless; otherwise it leads to total destruction. Therefore the learned should divide. The Bible mentions # 2 Peter 3:16-17 He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction. Therefore, dear friends, since you already know this, be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of lawless men and fall from your secure position. These are the words of first century because the heretic started teaching since then, and it is the duty of the faithful to know the truth from falsehood. Falsehood has been around for the last 1900 years and we have innumerable sects in Christianity and it is for you to decide whether Christians are on the right path? Or on the wrong? # 2 Tim 2:14-15 Keep reminding them of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen. Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. Man’s word should not be dubbed as the word of God. Time to time the Bible should be read and readed to find out whether the teachings justify Bible which was done by first century Christians towards the teachings of Paul and Sila’s of the first century. # Acts 17:11 Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true. Thus Jesus asked us to be attentive to what we hear. # Mark 4:24 "Consider carefully what you hear. Bible is not to feather one’s nest. # 2 John 10-11 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take him into your house or welcome him. Anyone who welcomes him shares in his wicked work.
1. Let the insight calculate the number of the beast: -
Discerning means here one who can discern and I give here the interpretation given in the Bible.
# Dan 12:3 Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever. While God made man in His own image they deserted him and are turning to Satan. It is the duty of a learned man to show him the right path.
# Dan 12:10 Many will be purified, made spotless and refined, but the wicked will continue to be wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand.
# Dan 11:33 "Those who are wise will instruct many, though for a time they will fall by the sword or be burned or captured or plundered.
Many Apostles and Prophets and even Christ were Martyrs. # Col 2:3-4 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. I tell you this so that no one may deceive you by fine-sounding arguments. Those who forget the ways of God should be counted as beasts. Today’s world is a Satan’s world. The world has been slaying all such great teachers and prophets. Can you deny that the instrument for these slayings is the beast mentioned in the revelation? # Rev 13:12-17 He exercised all the authority of the first beast on his behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. And he performed great and miraculous signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to earth in full view of men. Because of the signs he was given power to do on behalf of the first beast, he deceived the inhabitants of the earth. He ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. He was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. It has the wise like grip over the world and is trying lead to damnation. God sent His Son Jesus to the world to save us. The evil spirit armed with brut strength is trying to challenge and this number is the number of the beast.
# Luke 4:6-7 And he said to him, "I will give you all their authority and splendor, for it has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to. So if you worship me, it will all be yours."
The evil spirit stood before Jesus and asking Him to bow to it as they have elected and made it the king over the world. Can you deny that all people who believe it is the strength of the evil? Jesus while confirming the same. # Matt 6:24 "No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money. All the visible nature is the handy work of Christ. The evil spirit claims to posses equal strength- People believe the beast, which is bloodthirsty but not Jesus who shed His blood for us. John the Baptist who preceded Jesus, predicted even before Christ the fall of man. # Luke 3:7 John said to the crowds coming out to be baptized by him, "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? # Matt 12:34 You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. # John 8:44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. Don’t you think there is truth in the fact that while they claim to be the children of God their actions descry the acts of devil? Let the discerning count the number of the beast; these are the words of the Lord Jesus who laid His life to show us the path. The 200 crore Christians when are not discerning how can one expect the 400 crore heathen to know the truth. Satan strength seems to increase. The so-called Christians are namesake but are in the grip of the Satan because they do not know the word of God.
# 2 Cor 4:4 The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. When we look at the life style it reveals the lip service done by these Christians but Christ tried to save them from the beast and tried to get it crushed.
# John 14:30-31 I will not speak with you much longer, for the prince of this world is coming. He has no hold on me, but the world must learn that I love the Father and that I do exactly what my Father has commanded me. "Come now; let us leave.
Even Jesus accepted Satan as the king of the world and from this we can understand the strength of the beast. Most people today do not read the Bible, do not accept the word of God but are wallowing in the mundane pleasures and are going into the nether world. # Luke 8:31 And they begged him repeatedly not to order them to go into the Abyss. Satan in guiding the children of God to bottomless perdition. It is said in the Bible that many believe that they are his acts. Even though huge perform these acts and multitude believe them Jesus is answering as follows. # Matt 7:22-23 Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!' # Luke 13:23-24 Someone asked him, "Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?" He said to them, "Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to. In his first coming Jesus predicted that out of the legion that are
born few shall go to heaven. In his second coming when we look into the future most human beings turn to beast. . # Luke 18:8 However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?" Faith recedes. Abraham is the father of the believers Noah believed God and the flood which he had never seen but today’s Christians accept his presence basing on temporary things like curing of diseases and getting jobs. God is the means today. Most are turning to the beast. The world is going to destruction. Nature is getting destroyed. No one has fear of God. Many Christians are cheats. Jesus is questioning whether his second coming will sow the seed of faith. # Matt 24:12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. (Eph 1:4-6) God labored children in his own image. However Satan attracts them and they do not know the implications.
2. It is a man’s number: -
I do hope after you read the foregoing that many have joined Satan’s list. All these are the descendants of Adam and the number multiplied. Adam was the first man and therefore number 666 is the number of the first man. Satan vowed to wreak vengeance on Adam placed in the Garden of Eden. # Acts 17:26 From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. It clashed with Michael and was condemned to hell. Since it could not equal God and angels it wrought vengeance and destroyed mankind. It encourages the 7 deadly sins. It beleaguered the globe. God revealed it to us.
# Rev 12:7-12 And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. The great dragon was hurled down-that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him. Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: "Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. For the accuser of our brothers, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down. They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death. Therefore rejoice, you heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you! He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short." # 1 Peter 5:7-9 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings. # Eph 6:10-12 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Today the average Christian is allergic to God and the Bible. Today’s slogan is God should serve our needs and most Christians are the target of the hate campaign. Satan knew that human kind would evolve from the first man Adam and hence he cheated him, first man.
# Gen 2:17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die." Man was alone till such time and he obeyed the word of God. Later on eve was made-she ate the apple and gave him. # Gen 3:6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. The stigma went to abyss and God’s children were made the devils party. Wild beast grew; human number became the number of the wild beast. The stigma resulted in the flood, the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, the slip of Sarah and the conception of Hagar by Abraham, the never-ending feud between Israelites and Jews are all due to the beast. The same caused the killing of prophets by Jews, the pseudo Christians fearlessness of God. Thus man’s number was changed to the number of the beast. # Rom 3:11-12 there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one." This resulted in great dangers. # Rom 5:12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned-
# Rom 5:15 For if the many died by the trespass of the one man,
# Rom 5:16 like the result of the one man's sin:
# Rom 5:17 by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man,
# Rom 5:18 Consequently, just as the result of one trespass was condemnation for all men, so also the result of one act of righteousness was justification that brings life for all men.
# Rom 5:19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man
The Bible tells us that the fall of man has started from the first man who is non-else than Adam. The Bible teaches us that children of God are transforming themselves into the nature of the beast. # 1 Cor 15:21-22 For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. If the question is asked how many men were saved from His teaching and by the imminent death of Christ. The answer is No. Jesus assured us eternal life; on the contrary mankind wants carnal pleasures. Most believe Jesus today to better their physical existence. # 1 Cor 15:19 If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men. Will Christ in His second coming find faith in men? The answer is - none believe Him. Few do not join the number of the beast but are destined for heaven as the Bible says. Dear Brothers and Sisters most children of God have become followers of Satan and will be consigned to unending flame. The Bible teaches us that man’s number is the number of the Beast. Do not forget the word of God as given in the Bible, do not join the ranks of the beast and be blessed.
3. His number is 666: -
Six has an important role in creation. God created stars for the guidance of man, created sun to rule the day and created moon and stars to rule at night. Man is able to measure time. It takes one complete day for the earth to revolve round itself and a month for the moon to revolve round the earth; it takes a year for the earth and moon to revolve round the sun. The whole universe is in revolution and cosmic laws guide even the planets and the earth is habitable because of these revolutions. This is not science because science is an imitation of nature. Nature exists because of word of God. The word let to nature, which in turn caused science. Creation became reality because of the word. # Heb 11:3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. # John 1:1-3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. # Gen 1:14-18 And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years, and let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth." And it was so. God made two great lights--the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth, to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. God created time and things to satisfy man’s daily needs. Time is a cycle divided into days, months and years. The 7th day is the day of Sabbath.
Time can be divided into two classes 1.Man’s time, 2.Time of nature. The visible and invisible matter has its assigned duties. The different planets have their own orbits each one being unique. The stars have their own orbits. This shows the difference between a man’s day and nature’s day. The Bible tells us that God labored for 6 days and the days are meant to be God’s days and not man’s days. I want to expose this false analogy God labored for 6 days and rested on the 7th day and many human beings take rest on the 7th day. As Sun causes the day to our planet the light beyond the universe causes a day to the entire universe due to its spherical shape. # Heb 4:9-11 There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God's rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from his. Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following their example of disobedience. The Bible tells us that God has a grand scheme because we are his children. # Heb 4:3 And yet his work has been finished since the creation of the world. # Heb 4:4 For somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day in these words: "And on the seventh day God rested from all his work." The Bible teaches us that man should work tirelessly as God had rested from all the work he had done. # Gen 2:1-3 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array. By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.
God made sky and earth and filled it with his creation and took rest on the 7th day. The day of God is not the same as the day of man. # Ps 90:4 For a thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by. # 2 Peter 3:8 With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. Man’s thousand years is equal to one divine day. If so, can we ascertain that nature’s day is crores of years? Or crores and crores of years? Then is it some cores of years, which make a universe day? Bible does not explain this. God loved us even before the genesis. The Big bang theory places nature’s origin to be 13.7 billion years and it is inconceivable. How long God has been laboring to create nature for our comfort? The 6 days that God labored for man is equivalent to cores of years. He created the visible and the invisible an asked us to enjoy. God did nature’s work in 6 days. # Gen 1:26-31 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male
and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground." Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground--everything that has the breath of life in it--I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning--the sixth day.
God created man on the 6th day and prior to that he created everything for the comfort of man. He shared his labor for crores of years in creating the necessaries for man. It is all His grace and pleasure of His will.
First 6: -Indicates the duration of 6days in which God worked.
Second 6: - God made man(one man) in his own image on the 6th day.
Third 6: - It shows the 6 days of God’s labor.
The first is time, the second is creation of man and third is the labor of God and hence 666. Man who was made in his own image should labor in his lifetime and rest on after his death. However the number, which began as God’s number, became the number of the beast. However the beast undid God’s work. Man continues to live forgetting the duties assigned to him by God. He is beset with evil thoughts and evil deeds and branded Jesus as “The Possessed”. # Eccl 12:2 before the sun and the light and the moon and the stars grow dark, and the clouds return after the rain; # Prov 22:6 Train a child in the way he should go, God laid injunctions from childhood. # Gen 6:5-7,12-13; 8:21 The LORD saw how great man's wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time. The LORD was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain. So the LORD said, "I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth--men and animals, and creatures that move along the ground, and birds of the air--for I am grieved that I have made them." God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways. So God said to Noah, "I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth. The LORD smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: "Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done.
Man’s number became the number of the beast before the flood. # Matt 24:37-39 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.
Prophets have tried to preach sanity but of no avail. When we look at today’s world we can see how God’s work is mere totally destroyed. If some at least now need the word of God they may turn from the number of the beast to God’s number. # John 17:4-5 I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began. # John 5:36 "I have testimony weightier than that of John. For the very work that the Father has given me to finish, and which I am doing, testifies that the Father has sent me. We all should be like Jesus and labor like him and then only take rest as the Bible commands us. # Eph 2:10 For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. # Titus 2:14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good. # Titus 3:1,8,14 Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient; to be ready to do whatever is good. This is a trustworthy saying. And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone. Our people must learn to devote themselves to doing what is good, in order that they may provide for daily necessities and not live unproductive lives.
Man should realize the original cause of his birth and dedicate himself to the will of God. # Eph 1:11-12 In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory.
Till our last breathe dear Brothers and Sisters we should follow the word of God. # Matt 5:16 In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.# Phil 2:13-17 for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose. Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in
the universe as you hold out the word of life-in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing. But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you.
It is in your hands whether to work tirelessly the 6 days and wait for eternal life or to be consigned to the domain of Satan. Satan guffaws how he could wreck God’s work.
4. This calls for wisdom: -
The wise man can reckon, there is Wisdom in that number and it is not the devils knowledge. Bible can answer itself. Knowledge is defined as.
# 1 Cor 1:24 but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
# 1 Cor 2:6 We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.
# 1 Cor 2:8-9 None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him"-
# Luke 11:31 The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them; for she came from the ends of the earth to listen to Solomon's wisdom, and now one greater than Solomon is here.
# Luke 11:49-52 Because of this, God in his wisdom said, 'I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and others they will persecute.' Therefore this generation will be held responsible for the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the beginning of the world, from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, this generation will be held responsible for it all. "Woe to you experts in the law, because you have taken away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering."
# Col 2:3-4 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. I tell you this so that no one may deceive you by fine-sounding arguments.
# Col 2:8 See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ.
# James 3:15-18 Such "wisdom" does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil. For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.
# 1 Cor 3:18-23 Do not deceive yourselves. If any one of you thinks he is wise by the standards of this age, he should become a "fool" so that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God's sight. As it is written: "He catches the wise in their craftiness"; and again, "The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile." So then, no more boasting about men! All things are yours, whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future-all are yours, and you are of Christ, and Christ is of God.
# John 1:3-5 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.
# Heb 1:1-2 In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.
# Prov 16:16 How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather than silver!
# Prov 8:8-11, 21-31 All the words of my mouth are just; none of them is crooked or perverse. To the discerning all of them are right; they are faultless to those who have knowledge. Choose my instruction instead of silver, knowledge rather than choice gold, for wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire can compare with her. Bestowing wealth on those who love me and making their treasuries full. "The LORD brought me forth as the first of his works, before his deeds of old; I was appointed from eternity, from the beginning, before the world began. When there were no oceans, I was given birth, when there were no springs abounding with water; before the mountains were settled in place, before the hills, I was given birth, before he made the earth or its fields or any of the dust of the world. I was there when he set the heavens in place, when he marked out the horizon on the face of the deep, when he established the clouds above and fixed securely the
fountains of the deep, when he gave the sea its boundary so the waters would not overstep his command, and when he marked out the foundations of the earth. Then I was the craftsman at his side. I was filled with delight day after day, rejoicing always in his presence, rejoicing in his whole world and delighting in mankind.
When we look at the foregoing we know that knowledge is Christ and 666 is synonymous with Christ. Man is made in his own image and Christ made everything. He is the way. However the sacrifice of Christ has become futile as most men who are the children of God are sliding into abyss. God’s plan is to save man who was made by God on the 6th day, with 6 days of time and 6 days of labor but unfortunately man created on 6th day is becoming a part of unending fire. The number has come to mean Satan’s number. The mass media are aiming at carnal pleasures. In the name of space travel, satellite espionage, treacheries are the order of the day. Man is exploiting nature for his selfish purposes. Mankind is beset with the menace of murders, arson, wars, looter and rapes. World is divided into narrow fragments and the story of one nation is no different from another. Satan set at naught God’s labor, the sacrifice of the son and love has no place in its scheme. It controls the whole of creation. I appeal to all that they realize the real significance of each 6 in 6 6 6 one 6 denoting the time, the second 6 for the creation of man and the third 6 denoting the labor of God towards man and be saved.
