NASB | John 6:66 ¶ As a result of this many of His disciples withdrew and were not walking with Him anymore. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | John 6:66 ¶ As a result of this many of His disciples abandoned Him, and no longer walked with Him. |
Bible Question: Is this verse the answer to the riddle of 666 in Revelation 13:18? The Book of John is the only book in the entire Bible that contains the verse 6:66. If we go back to the previous verse we see that Jesus says to his disciples that "you cannot come to know the Son unless the Father draws you." Now we find that almost all of the disciples leave him because of that verse. He then turns to the 12 and asks them if they will support him. They say "yes." We are the beast when we separate ourselves from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and fail to do his will. This is the nature of the beast and the anti-Christ in all of us. This is our human nature. We are not willing to die for Christ. When we make the commitment to die for Him, we KNOW Him as 6:65 suggests. What do you think? |
Bible Answer: Very interesting! I agree with your theory...in Revelation 13:18 it says that the number of the beast is the number of a man and also, in Rev. 21:17 it gives the measurement of a wall as 144 cubits according to the measure of a man, that is, of an angel...I figured the cubits to feet are 216 feet...and if you multiply 6 X 6 X 6 you also get 216.....?! So the measurement or number of the beast is the same as the number of an angel and both are the number of a man...meaning we can be one or the other or both!!! |
