The Apocalypse Of Saint John\n Chapter 13 \n\n\n16 And he shall make all, both little and great, rich and poor, freemen and bondmen, to have a character in their right hand, or on their foreheads. 17 And that no man might buy or sell, but he that hath the character, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. He that hath understanding, let him count the number of the beast. For it is the number of a man: and the number of him is six hundred sixty-six. \n\n"Six hundred sixty-six"... The numeral letters of his name shall make up this number.

Woo hoo!!  A Jesus and tattoo question, all in one! And it's not even my birthday!  I love this question, Yes in Leviticus it says what the make no marks of the dead or tattoo any marks on your body.  But that's not what it says, the original word in Hebrew that is commonly translated as tattoo is not exactly tattoo, the word is "to put", So in the original Hebrew it says you shall not make cuttings in your flesh or put on marks of the dead, what is a mark of the dead that He is speaking of here?  The demonic ritual cutting and marking of the gods of all the other nations that the Israelites were living around.  \n\nIsaiah 49:16 the Lord says behold I have inscribed your name upon the palms of my hand, and the meaning in Hebrew for the word translated as inscribed is "to cut out or engrave", God was speaking of a common practice to engrave or make marks on hands of things to remember.  \nGod also speaks of earings and nose piercing as ornaments of beauty in Song of Solomon and Ezekiel 16.\nIn Revelation 19 it says that on Jesus' thigh is written a name that no one knows, cool huh!?\nBut, tattoos done out of anger or rebellion, as well as done in demonic or obscene matters(666, pentagrams, pornography)that is sacrilegious.\nAllelujah and Amen.

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.

It is a number that you will have to have in order to buy or sell anything...It is the number of the anti christ and if you take it you are automatically sentenced to hell as no one who take the number can ever enter into heaven....This will be put into place during the tribulation and if you refuse to take it you will be put to death...here are some verses below.\n\nRev 13:11  And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. \nRev 13:12  And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. \nRev 13:13  And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, \nRev 13:14  And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. \nRev 13:15  And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. \nRev 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: \nRev 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. \nRev 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. \n\nRev 14:8  And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. \nRev 14:9  And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, \nRev 14:10  The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: \nRev 14:11  And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up forever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. \n\nRev 15:2  And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. \n\nRev 16:2  And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshiped his image. \n\n\nRev 19:20  And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshiped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. \n\nRev 20:4  And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshiped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

666 is commonly known as the Number of the Beast in the Book of Revelation in bible\n\nIn bible Revelation 13:17 states: \n"... no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or name of the beast, or the number of his name." \n\n\nAs per king james version\nHere 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 three score and six. \n\nThe Greek manuscripts (actually copies of the prototype were written in Greek, although others argue the originals were written in Hebrew) do not literally render the phrase as six-six-six (three Greek words for six in a row -- εξ εξ εξ) but as χξϛ´ (it is 666 in Greek numerical form) or sometimes six hundred sixty-six\n\n\nBut interestingly it has got many mathematical properties\n\n666 is an abundant number. It is the sum of the squares of the first seven prime numbers.\n\nSince 36 is both square and triangular, 666 is the sixth number of the form n2(n2 + 1) / 2 (triangular squares) and the eighth number of the form n(n + 1)(n2 + n + 2) / 8 (doubly triangular numbers.)\n\nThere is no number whose value of Euler's totient function φ is 666, making it a nontotient.\n\nThe harmonic mean of the digits of 666 is an integer: 3/(1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6) = 6. 666 is the 54th number with this property.\n\nIn base 10, 666 is a palindromic number, a repdigit and a Smith number. A prime reciprocal magic square based on 1/149 in base 10 has a magic total of 666.\n\nThe Roman numeral representation of the number 666 (DCLXVI) uses once each the Roman numeral symbols with values under 1,000, and they occur in exact reverse order of their respective values (D = 500, C = 100, L = 50, X = 10, V = 5, I = 1).\n\nOn the Microsoft Windows operating system, the key sequence Alt+666 will create a capital U umlaut (Ü).

The Bible describes the AntiChrist (the beast), and the mark of the beast is 666.
632663
666 is the number ascribed to the beast in revelation. It is presented as the number of man, with the number of God being 777, the number 666 represents imperfection, falling short of God's perfect standard. Outside this, the number has no mystic powers or secret meanings. 6-6-06 will be a day like any other. Satan will have no more or less power on that day than any other. Also associated with the Beast is the Mark, which will be used to conduct financial business in the AntiChrist's empire. Contrary to a previous poster, the current sitting president is not the beast. The beast will point people to worship the antichrist. The current sitting president professes belief in the Christ of the Bible. The Beast will seek to relace Christ with the AntiChrist, who becomes indwelt by Satan himself. \n\nVerses describing Satan's desire, and his final fate.\n\n"Isa 14:12-15  How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!  For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit."\n\nAlso the biblical time table calls for the rapture of believing christians from the earth prior to the beast/antichrist's ascent to power.\n\nI also know that a movie is going to be released on that date about the apocalypse/end of the world. Having not heard anything about it, I don't know if i can recommend it.

In the book of revelation God reveals the meaning of it is the mark of the beast.

In the book of Revelations, 666 is given as the number the Antichrist will mark his followers with.\n\n"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. 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 six hundred three score and six."

The Beast appears as a satanic version of Christ. We have to be careful what we are looking for because the Jews missed Jesus when he came because they were waiting for a worldly warrior, not the suffering servant lamb that takes away the sins of the world.The Beast could be a literal man like many think or a messenger of GOD like Muhammad or anyone or anything else that resembles Jesus Christ. So watch and pray. We will see soon enough.\nMay GOD richly bless you.

666\nThe Mark of the Beast\nWhat Does it Mean? \n \n    \nIn this series:\n\n666—Not Just a Puzzle \nIdentifying the Wild Beast and Its Mark \nRelated topics:\n\nYou Can Understand the Bible \nWhy You Can Trust the Bible \n   Identifying the Wild Beast and Its Mark\nDO YOU enjoy solving a mystery? To do so, you look for clues that help you work your way toward the solution. In his inspired Word, God provides the needed clues with regard to the number 666, the name, or mark, of the wild beast of Revelation chapter 13.\n\nIn this article, we will look at four main lines of reasoning—vital clues—that will reveal the meaning of the mark of the beast. We will consider (1) how Bible names are sometimes chosen, (2) the identity of the wild beast, (3) what is meant by 666 being "a man's number," and (4) the significance of the number 6 and why it is written in triple digits, namely, 600 plus 60 plus 6, or 666.—Revelation 13:18.\n\nBible Names—More Than Just Labels\nBible names often have special significance, particularly when given by God. For example, because Abram would become the father of nations, God changed the patriarch's name to Abraham, meaning "Father of a Multitude." (Genesis 17:5) God told Joseph and Mary to call Mary's future child Jesus, which means "Jehovah Is Salvation." (Matthew 1:21; Luke 1:31) In harmony with that meaningful name, through Jesus' ministry and sacrificial death, Jehovah made possible our salvation.—John 3:16.\n\nAccordingly, the God-given number-name 666 must symbolize what God sees as defining attributes of the beast. Naturally, to understand those traits, we need to identify the beast itself and learn about its activities.\n\nThe Beast Exposed\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"!

I think we were at "THE THOUSAND YEARS" but I don't know how long would this "thousand years" would last. Its at Revelation 20:1-6\n\nI think that all that's been said in the Revelation prior to the chapter 20 (that's upto chapter 19) were all pertained to the struggle of the Christianity. Everything that is written is symbolic, now that is the problem, I don't have much idea what those symbols means. But I know that the number 666 or the beast pertains to Emperor Nero. Since the "whole world" mention in Revelation is the world/nations itself known by the Christians at that time. All I know that He is coming very soon. So be it. Come, Lord Jesus!
