As the origin of 666 and the real truth on the number of the beast continues to become more widely known through sites such as this one and others discovering the truth, Satan has begun a counter attack by throwing other numbers into the equation as a diversionary tactic. Numbers like 606 and 616 are now emerging, but these numbers have no significance and are incorrect as you shall soon see from the real truth on 666 the number of the beast. The extraordinary truth on this mysterious number 666 and its origin is about to reveal just how wrong so many can be on Biblical topics, and how Satan can and does keep many deceived and in the dark on extremely important issues such as the number of the beast. This should be a well known truth such as the origin of this solar seal with the number 666 on it.
Who is the Beast that has the Number 666?
The identity of the beast, also known as antichrist can be found from several passages in scripture. For instance, with historical help, Daniel 7 unlocks Revelation 13 and reveals who the beast is, and Revelation 17 in regards to Mystery Babylon also reveals who antichrist is on its own. While we find that individual passages of Revelation, 1 John and Daniel reveal the identity of the beast power, all these passages are like pieces of an even bigger jigsaw puzzle, which all fit together perfectly and further substantiate the truth. There is absolutely no doubt who the beast power is. See is the number of the beast from Satan to find what a beast represents in the Bible.
The reference to 666 as the number of the beast is found in Revelation 13:17-18, which continues into the next chapter with a very severe warning on accepting the mark or the number of the beast. Note carefully in verse 17 that the number of the beast is not the mark and is a separate symbol. Amazingly, most have missed this simple but very important fact. You will also note in Revelation 14:8-9 that the beast is referred to as Babylon and that “SHE made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.” The same phraseology is found in Revelation 17:2 referring to Mystery Babylon. The beast is called Babylon with good reason and is referred to symbolically as a she because the Bible also represents her as a woman. A woman symbolically in the Bible is always a Church as the Church is the bride of Christ.
In Revelation 17:1-6 John the Revelator is being shown the “Great whore” who has not been faithful to Christ because of idol worship etc. Note she is called a woman [Church] in verses 3 and 4 and in verse 5 this Church is symbolically referred to as Babylon. See Ezekiel 16:26-32, Jeremiah 3:1-25.
There is a tremendous weight of evidence available that reveals that the beast that has the number 666 in Revelation 13 and 14, and this woman in Revelation 17 are all one and the same. From Daniel 7, Revelation 13 and history we find that this beast power is a Church that changed the law of God, persecuted the Christian saints and is called Babylon in Revelation 14. In Revelation 17, through the reference to her being called a woman, we also know this is referring to a Church and one that persecuted the Christian saints and is called Mystery Babylon. This is not coincidence as they are one and the same Church. The question is: why does God call this Church Babylon?
With further study and research, we find the man at the head of this Church now has the title that once belonged to the Pagan Priests of Babylon and that very significant fact is just scratching the surface. There is a mountain of evidence proving that this Church took on many idolatrous pagan practices of literal Babylon and primarily why God refers to this Church as Babylon.
Revelation 13:18 states that 666 the number of the beast is the number of a man that heads the beast power, which is this Church that God calls Babylon. So the next question is, since this Church took on so much paganism from literal Babylon, is the number of the beast something God gave her because of what resulted from the paganism that she took on from Babylon? In other words, does 666 that is now the number of the beast also come from Babylon? The answer as you would no doubt expect is a resounding YES!
As you discover the origin of the number 666, remember that the Babylonians could not have possibly known about the Biblical reference to 666 as John did not write about the number of the beast for hundreds of years later.
By now I am sure you have concluded that there is only Church that changed God’s law and persecuted millions of Christians through the dark ages and has also taken on many of the pagan practices of Babylon and can be no other than the Roman Catholic Church. This is an unmistakable fact no matter what angle you come at it from scripture and history. See who is the real antichrist and mystery Babylon for very detailed information.
Why God calls the Catholic Church Babylon and the Origin of 666
So why is 666 the number of a man and just what is the real significance of the number of the beast? The book of Revelation informs us several times that the number of the beast and the mark of the beast revolve around worship and the unmistakable message is to not worship the beast. And Revelation 13:18 is also very clear that 666 is the number of the man ruling the beast power (Catholic Church) but the question we all want answered is why God calls the Catholic Church Babylon and the origin of this mysterious number 666 and how it relates to the Roman Catholic Church and Babylon.
You would imagine that the answer to these questions would be well known but our adversary has made sure that not many know the answers to these questions or why the Book of Revelation refers to the number 666 with such negative overtones. On the next page you will discover why worship is such a significant issue in regards to this mysterious number 666 and the mark of the beast.
