Hi engot - excellent question. According to Scripture, there are more than a few clues:\nHe will be from Europe; he will be attractive, a linguist, and will set himself to be worshipped.\n\nwww.triumphpro.com says this:\n\n'The coming [of the lawless one, the Antichrist] is through the activity and working of Satan, and will be attended by great power and with all sorts of [pretended] miracles and signs and deceiving marvels ‑‑ [all of them] lying wonders ‑‑ And by unlimited seduction to evil and with all wicked deception for those who are (going to perdition,) perishing because they did not welcome the Truth but refused to love it that they might be saved.\n\nThe Book of Daniel says this:\n\nDaniel speaks of this coming world ruler, saying, "And at the latter end ... a king of fierce countenance and understanding dark trickery and craftiness, shall stand up.  And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power; and he shall corrupt, and shall destroy astonishingly, and shall prosper, and do his own pleasure, and he shall corrupt and destroy the mighty men and the holy people ‑‑ the people of the saints" (Dan.8:23‑24).\n\n This will be a ruler of "impious presumption and pride" (Dan.8:9).\n\n Daniel also writes, "[There] shall arise a contemptuous and contemptible person, to whom royal majesty and the honor of the kingdom have not been given.  But he shall come in without warning in time of security and shall obtain the kingdom by flatteries, intrigues, and cunning hypocritical conduct" (Dan.1 1:21, Amplified Version).\n\nThe book of Revelation gives us further insight into this intriguing character, who is the fount of all evils.  Notice:\n\n"As I stood on the sandy beach, I saw a beast coming up out of the sea with ten horns and seven heads.  On his horns he had ten royal crowns (diadems) and blasphemous titles (names) on his heads.\n\n "And the beast that I saw resembled a leopard I Germany], his feet were like those of a bear [Russia], and his mouth was like that of a lion [United States \nand Great Britain].  And to him the DRAGON gave his own might and power, and his [own] throne and great dominion" (Rev. 13:1‑2).\n\nWe have just read that the "dragon" ‑‑ a figure representing Satan the devil (Rev. 12:9; 20:2) himself ‑‑ gives this end‑time world empire, and especially its bestial leader ‑‑ power and authority over nations.  Although this is clearly a direct reference to Satan the devil, that old "dragon" who will be forced out of heaven and cast down to earth in the very near future (Rev.12:7‑9), Biblical prophecy is often dual ‑‑ and some hidden meanings are very subtle.  There are often secondary meanings and hidden layers of interpretation.\n\nThe emblem or animal which is the sign and characteristic of China is none other than the famous "DRAGON"!  Dragon dances and parades are held in every major city of China every Chinese New Year's Day.  China is famous as the land of the "dragon." \n Indeed, it was the "(Chinese) dragon (who) gave him his power, and seat, and great authority" (Rev. 13:2, KJV).\n\n "The Mortal Wound"\n\n"And one of his heads seemed to have a deadly wound But his death stroke was healed, and the whole earth went after the beast in amazement and admiration.  They fell down and did homage to the dragon [Satan the devil], \nbecause he had bestowed on the beast all his dominion and authority; they also praised and worshipped the beast, exclaiming, Who is a match for the beast, and who can make war against him?" (Rev. 1 3:3‑4, Amplified Bible).\n\nWho is a match for the best, and who can make war against him? Jesus Christ. This will signal His second coming. Read what www.leftbehind.com says:\n\nThe second coming of Jesus Christ is the most frequently mentioned subject in the Bible, other than the doctrine of salvation; what the Bible is a

The Beast Exposed\n\nThe Bible book of Daniel sheds much light on the meaning of symbolic beasts. Chapter 7 contains a vivid tableau of "four huge beasts"—a lion, a bear, a leopard, and a fearsome beast with big teeth of iron. (Daniel 7:2-7) Daniel tells us that these beasts represent "kings," or political kingdoms, that rule in succession over vast empires.—Daniel 7:17, 23.\n\nRegarding the beast of Revelation 13:1, 2, The Interpreter's Dictionary of the Bible points out that it "combines in itself the joint characteristics of the four beasts of Daniel's vision . . . Accordingly, this first beast [of Revelation] represents the combined forces of all political rule opposed to God in the world." This observation is affirmed by Revelation 13:7, which says of the beast: "Authority was given it over every tribe and people and tongue and nation."*\n\nWhy does the Bible use beasts as symbols of human rulership? For at least two reasons. First, because of the beastly record of bloodshed that governments have accrued over the centuries. "War is one of the constants of history," wrote historians Will and Ariel Durant, "and has not diminished with civilization or democracy." How true that "man has dominated man to his injury"! (Ecclesiastes 8:9) The second reason is that "the dragon [Satan] gave to the beast its power and its throne and great authority." (Revelation 12:9; 13:2) Accordingly, human rulership is a product of the Devil, thus reflecting his beastly, dragonlike disposition.—John 8:44; Ephesians 6:12.\n\nThis does not mean, however, that every human ruler is a direct tool of Satan. Indeed, in one sense, human governments serve as "God's minister," giving structure to human society, without which chaos would rule. And some leaders have protected fundamental human rights, including the right to engage in true worship—something that Satan does not want. (Romans 13:3, 4; Ezr 7:11-27; Acts 13:7) Still, because of the Devil's influence, no human or human institution has ever been able to bring lasting peace and security to the people.# —John 12:31.\n\nThey represent the world powers that started from Babylon up to today. It was a means for his servants to recognize when the end of times were approaching.   During the last world power  (The united nations) his return would be here.

What kind of a symbol?

Actually, it was in fact misinterpreted in the Bible. \n\nRevelation! 666 is not the number of the beast\n(it's a devilish 616)\n\nA newly discovered fragment of the oldest surviving copy of the New Testament indicates that, as far as the Antichrist goes, theologians, scholars, heavy metal groups, and television evangelists have got the wrong number. Instead of 666, it's actually the far less ominous 616.\n\nThe new fragment from the Book of Revelation, written in ancient Greek and dating from the late third century, is part of a hoard of previously unintelligible manuscripts discovered in historic dumps outside Oxyrhynchus in Egypt. Now a team of expert classicists, using new photographic techniques, are finally deciphering the original writing.

BLACK!\nAs much as it is used and identified negatively to symbolize death, fear, sadness, evil .. etc. \nBut to me it's different, i see it as a symbol of Strength and Confidence, and also mystery and ambiguity! And even the negativity surrounding it seems to add to its charm!\n\nIt's perfection!

Either way nothing is happening today.\n\nThe Number of the Beast is mentioned in the Book of Revelation of the Christian New Testament and has long been accepted to be 666 or, in some cases, 616. The meaning of the number is debated. In some interpretations of Christian eschatology the “Beast” is believed to refer to a being controlled by or equated with the Antichrist, whereas some scholars, such as Dr. Delbert Hillers and the editors of the Oxford & Harper Collins translations, contend that the number is a code for the Roman Emperor Nero,[1] a view that is also supported by the Roman Catholic Church.[2][3]

The verse from the Bible that refers to 666 is   "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." (Rev 13:18).  \n\nIt is in reference to the first beast in Revelation 13.  In the Bible, a beast represents a nation, kingdom or empire.  But since this verse says that it "is the number of a man", it it talking about the leader of that nation. \n\nThe best way to truly identify the nation and its leader is to study the characteristics of that first beast and history.  This beast is also the same as the "little horn" mentioned in Daniel chapter 7.  (Daniel and Revelation are very closely related and will help you to gain a better understanding if studied together.)\n\nThe early protestant reformers believed that the beast represents the Vatican (which is a nation) and the leader is the Pope.  \n\nAn interesting note is that the official title of the Pope is "Vicarius Filii Dei" (Vicar of the Son of God).  When his title is converted into roman numerals and the numerical values are added, the total comes to 666.  This happens also when the Pope's official title is converted into the other languages that assign numerical values for the characters of the alphabet; Greek and Hebrew are the other languages that do this, and in each one, the total is 666. \n\nIs this a mere coincidence or were the early protestant reformers right?  (Another note; they were called "Protestants because they were protesting against the cruelties, corruptions and abuses of the Roman Catholic Church.)\n\nAnother point about this mark, is that it most likely will not be a visible mark on the skin, even though the Bible  mentions that it wwill be on the hand or on the forehead.  The mark is received as a matter of worship. (See Revelation 13:15 and Revelation 14:9, 10.)  \n\nWe can see the political swing toward more conservative views, and there are some that believe that this swing will lead to a law in which the people of this country and the world will beforced to go to church, and if you don't then you will be prohibited from conducting business and will eventually be killed.  (The Bible has an example of this in Daniel chapter 2.)\n\nThe best advise that I can give is to study the Bible carefully.  There are many people, even ministers, who will try to tell you what it means, but the explanations often go against the simple words of the Bible; don't believe these people.

Who knows, the Revelation of John aka Revelations, is very unclear what this means exactly except that it is a mark. At one time people though that this was anything from a branding to a tatoo. Today we have interepreted this to mean microchips and the like. But the real thought should be: "Who can understand the plans that the Lord has instore for mankind?"

In Revelations of the bible John speaks of the mark of the beast. Passage Revelation 13:16-18:\n16He required everyone--great and small, rich and poor, slave and free--to be given a mark on the right hand or on the forehead. 17And no one could buy or sell anything without that mark, which was either the name of the beast or the number representing his name. 18Wisdom is needed to understand this. Let the one who has understanding solve the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man.[a] His number is 666. There are many translations or assumptions to what this particular passage means. I wonder if it has to do with today's Social Security Numbers or Credit Ratings. It's getting to the point that you cannot do anything without them. Either you have it in the hand... most machines are for right handed people... forehead... how many numbers do you have memorized... your SS#, bank account, phone,etc...As far as the date... it's very interesting and doesn't happen to often.... even though... we have had 01/01/01...02/02/2002, 03/03/03, 04/04/04, 05/05/05...and 03/04/05...etc...we can wonder if this is the day is near or make guess however...

As the pain a woman endures during labor the contractions get closer and  closer together when she is about  give birth.  \n This is like the harbinger that will be signal to those who know the morals of man will decline to a state of bestiality, the winds will increase,hurricane's beyond category 5 will make humans shutter with fear,climates will change expeditiously, Volcano's will erupt more frequently, Earthquakes will crack the Earths shell and destroying man kinds makings. Wars and more rumors of war. No one shall escape the mark of the beast 666. \nThat is your answer. otherwise be grateful for now, and have a nice day.
