1 | What Does 666 Mean? | Rev 13:18 | TomBrooklyn | 148515 | ||
Hi Searcher, I did that and found some reference to "The Beast" and the "AntiChrist" which I had some inkling "666" was about. But I didn't see 666 specifically written. It is still unclear to me what 666 is supposed to be. |

2 | What Does 666 Mean? | Rev 13:18 | Hank | 149951 | ||
Tom: Commenting on Revelation 13:18, John MacArthur wrote, "'His number is 666.' This is the essential number of a man. The number 6 falls one short of God's perfect number 7, and thus represents human imperfection. Antichrist, the most powerful human the world will ever know, will still be a man, i.e., a 6. The ultimate in human and demonic power is a 6, not perfect, as God is. The 3-fold repetition of the number is intended to reiterate and underscore man's indentity. When Antichrist is finally revealed, there will be some way to identify him with this basic number of a man, or his name may have the numerical equivalent of 666. (In many languages, including Hebrew, Greek and Latin, letters have numerical equivalents.) Because this text reveals very little about the meaning of 666, it is unwise to speculate beyond what is said." --Hank | ||||||
