Revelation 13:16-18 part1



Mark of the Beast “666”

Now we will see about the symbol of antichrist
Kindly turn your bible to Revelation 13:16-18
        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:        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.       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.

(RC) Rev.13:16 so this second beast makes everyone - great and small, rich and poor, free and enslaved - be branded on the right hand or on the forehead,
Rev.13:17 and no one can buy or sell unless he has been branded with the name of the beast or with the number of its name.
Rev.13:18 Let us see who is wise! If you are clever, you can interpret the number of the Beast; it is 666 and it is the name of a certain person.

About this number
Ø  So many years ago itself God’s people have already given so many messages about this topic.
Ø  Everybody told that 666 is the mark of the beast.
Ø  The last ruler will be the antichrist. He will create a symbol for his kingdom and he will force everyone to accept that mark in their right hand or fore head.
Ø  From this verse Rev.13:16  it is stated clearly,  that all the  types of the people
o   both small and great
o   rich and poor
o   free and bond
Ø  Whosoever who rejects this mark;  will not be able to buy or sell.
Ø  That means we cann’t buy any things, example food, dress, house hold things etc
Ø  In the same say we can’t sell anything also.




What is that mark?
Ø  There are three things in that mark.
1.      Beast name
2.      Beast Mark means photo.
3.      Beast Number
Ø  We should accept any one of these, and then only we will be able to buy or sell.

We are going to compare this with current days…

How did this number enter this world? How it is ruling the people now? How cannot people live without using this number?          
Ø  May be we would have seen many movies related to this “666”.
Ø   In those movies, they show this number “666” will be in antichrist’s head. It’s not like that. This number will not be his head or  in any of his belongings.
Ø  What bible say in Rev.13:18 is…
“Let us see who is wise! If you are clever, you can interpret the number of the Beast; it is 666 and it is the name of a certain person.”
Ø  Why do we need  to be wise? Why do we need to be clever? Because that number is not a direct number like “666” it will be  an interpreted number. If we calculate that number, then only, we can be able to understand this number “666”, otherwise we can’t not understand.
Ø  Because of that only bible says “if you are clever, you can interpret the number of the Beast


Why did Beast select this number?
Ø  Firstly, we will see some bible references.
Ø  Every one of us knows about creation of the world.
Ø  Kindly turn into bible Genesis 1: 25,26 & 27
    Gen 1:25  And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and everything that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that  it was good.

  Gen 1:26    And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

      So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.



(RC)Gen 1:25 God created the wild animals according to their kind, and everything that creeps along the ground according to its kind. God saw that it was good.
Gen 1:26 God said, "Let us make man in our image, to our likeness. Let them rule over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, over the cattle, over the wild animals, and over all creeping things that crawl along the ground."
Gen 1:27 So God created man in his image; in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

Ø  If you ask anyone, what did God created on the sixth day? Everyone will answer God created man on sixth day.
Ø  But if you carefully read the scripture God did not  created the man on sixth day, He created two more things on that sixth day.
Ø  Those three things are….
o   all types of animals
o   The Woman
Ø  Now we understand that God created  three things on sixth day and God gave power to human to be dominion over all creations.
Ø  God gave the dominion power to both man and woman. But the woman was cheated by serpent; through her both fell into sin.
Ø  Here God cursed all these three people serpent, man and woman.
Ø  When God cursed the woman He tells like this…
Ø  Kindly turn your bible into Genesis 3:16

      Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
(RC) Gen3:16 To the woman, God said, "I will increase your suffering in childbearing, and you will give birth to your children in pain. You will be dependent on your husband and he will lord it over you."
Ø  God tells to woman “You will be dependent on your husband and he will lord it over you."
Ø   From this we see three types of dominion power
1.      Woman had dominion power over all creations
2.      Man had dominion power over woman and all creations
3.      The serpent had dominion over the man and woman. If serpent had dominion over man and woman, automatically it also had dominion power of all creations.
4.      The serpent got the dominion power over man, woman and all creations
Ø  So the Beast got three types of dominion power on sixth day,
Ø  Sixth day three powers, that is “666”
Ø  This is one of the reasons. Another reason is

Ø  When Nebuchadnezzar king ruled the Babylon, he dreamed about great image. 
Kindly turn your bible to Daniel 3:1

       Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height  was threescore cubits,  and the breadth thereof six cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.
(RC) Dan 3:1 King Nebuchadnezzar had a golden statue, sixty cubits high and six cubits wide, erected on the plain of Dura in the province of Babylon.

Ø  this verse tells how much height and width that image should be.
Ø   Threescore (that means sixty) cubits height and six cubits wide.
Ø  Here we got two 6 (one is height (6+0=6) and width 6)
Ø  What about another 6? Please read the verse 5

        That at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up:
(RC) Dan 3:5 …to fall down and worship the golden statue as soon as you hear the music played on the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes and all other instruments.
Ø  Here how many type of instruments? 6 types of instruments
Ø  Now we got the third 6. Now we got 666.
