The Beast 666
This is the mystery of the seven heads’ Beast, the eighthBeast(little horn) its name is “666”, and the 10 horns. This beast is related to prophet Daniel about <four Great Beast>. Please read it, specially the fourth Beast with the little horn, then you will know more about the mystery of the beast 666 of Revelation chapter 13.
It should be clarified that “666” is the name of the Beast, not the symbol of Devil Satan. Let’s see the Revelation chapter 13 of the beast…
7 heads’ Beast with 10 horns
Revelation 13:1 “And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems on its horns and blasphemous names on its heads.”
Same as four great Beasts of Daniel chapter 7, seven heads’ Beast is also come from sea. What does it mean? It means its’ power is come from Spirit world, from the Red Dragon the Devil Satan. The seven heads’ Beast of Revelation has 10 horns with 10 diadems, the 10 horns means 10 kingdoms and 10 diadems means the royal power they received, its’ head has blasphemous names.
Seven heads’ beast – a “whole”
2 And the beast that I saw was like a leopard; its feet were like a bear’s, and its mouth was like a lion’s mouth. And to it the dragon gave his power and his throne and great authority. – Revelation 13:2
The four Beasts of Daniel’s Vision are Lion, Bear, Leopard and the undefined Beast has “10 horns and little horn“. Is that similar the 7 heads’ Beast what John was seeing?
Yes, the seven heads’ Beast has the same characteristics with the four Beasts. In Daniel’s Vision each beast symbolic a kingdom. So is that “7 heads’ Beast” that John saw was like a combination of four Beasts? Yes, 7 heads’ Beast symbolic “a whole“, a combination of the all beasts. Why we can say that?
Revelation 17:7,9-10 says,
“7 …Why do you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast with seven heads and ten horns that carries her.
9 This calls for a mind with wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is seated;
10 they are also seven kings, five of whom have fallen, one is(existing), the other has not yet come, and when he does come he must remain only a little while.”
7 Heads – 7 Kingdoms
Angel told us the seven heads are seven “mountains” which means the seven kingdoms, for example we say the “kingdom” of God is the highest “mountain”. Five kingdoms had fallen when angel speaking to John. Who were they? They were : Egypt(the first one), and then Assyria(the 2nd), Babylonia(the 3rd), Medo-Persia(the 4th) and Greece(the 5th).
They are also seven kings, that means each kingdom has a representative key man(king). This significant king is the symbol of its’ kingdom, like Nebuchadnezzar is the “representative” of Babylon Empire.
Who is the sixth mountain? It’s no doubt of the sixth kingdom was Roman Empire, which was existing in John’s time.
Who was the seventh head? It was the British Empire(the sun never sets Empire). So this Beast with seven heads represents “a whole”, “a combination” from ancient Egypt to the modern time of British Empire. And its power its throne and great authority was given by the dragon.
mortal wounded Head
Revelation 13:3,4
3 One of its heads(a kingdom or a king) seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed, and the whole earth marveled as they followed the beast.
4 And they worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?”
One of its’ 5 heads have a mortal wound, but was healed, and the whole earth followed the Beast. What does it mean? The mortal wound occurred on one of its heads, which head? Which kingdom? Which king? Is that means that kingdom(wounded head) would renaissance again? No, the highest dominion of that Empire has passed over. So it does not mean the empire renaissance. Then what does it mean and who is the wounded Head?
The mortal wounded head should be the one of the five from Egypt to Greece. We can say the wounded head is Greece, why? Because Greece was the “first kingdom” to develop the Democracy System, which is a brand new and a totally different political system rather than other Empires. And the Greece was before the 6th one(Roman), the one existed “was and is not“.
The Democracy political system was flourishing in Greece firstly, but was killed by Roman Empire(signified by the Gaius Lulius Caesar was killed in Italy by sword, one of its heads(“a king”) have a mortal wound).
After that it disappeared(the Democracy death), until…
Until 19th-20th century, the Democracy was healed. Firstly was in Italy at 14th-15th century, then was following by the other European countries and then flourishing into the US. And the whole world(all other nations) was marveled and followed the Beast, they followed him and changed their political system to Democracy system one by one. Interestingly, it was killed in Italy and healed also in Italy.
They worship the Beast(US+EU) but actually they worship the dragon, saying, “Who is like the beast(the US and EU), and who can fight against it?”. Yes, no one(nation) can fight against it, even Russia or China. If they don’t believe it can be try, but they shall be defeated definitely.
Incidentally, God has created another system which is “God’s Kingdom” that is better than all of them, and it is the best.
Let’s continue…
Make war on Saints ; blasphemies God
Revelation 13:5 “And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months.”
Revelation 13:6 “It opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling, that is, those who dwell in heaven.”
Revelation 13:7 “Also it was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer them.”
The Beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, who gave it? Who gave the power to it? Yes, it was the Red Dragon. How did the Beast(including US and EU) blasphemies against God, blasphemies His name and those who dwell in the heaven?
For example, they steal God’s sign “Rainbow” to represent sexual immorality of homosexuality and transsexuality… to blasphemy God and the Heaven. The Beast(US) call June Pride Month and hold many activities to promote the homosexuality, sexual perversion… You can imagine how angry of the heaven. They promote their behavior “pride” cover up their evils to blasphemy God’s sign – rainbow.
Beast’s period – 42 months
“But when you see the abomination of desolation[Rome] standing(on Jerusalem) where he ought not to be (let the reader understand)…” – Mark 13:14
The Beast(started from Rome) was given authority for forty-two months to make war on saints and conquer them. Please read <Two Witnesses> and <Seven Churches and Seven Stars>, the forty-two months symbolic the period from AD 70 till to the End Day. This period is also the “Jerusalem will be trampled underfoot by the Gentiles(from AD70), until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled(the End Day).”-Luke 21:24.
Revelation 11:7 “And when they(two witnesses-two Churches) have finished their testimony, “the Beast that rises from the bottomless pit” will make war on them and conquer them and kill them”
Daniel 7:21,22 “As I looked, this horn(the little horn – “the beast rise from the bottomless pit“) made war with the saints and prevailed over them, 22 until the Ancient of Days came, and judgment was given for the saints of the Most High, and the time came when the saints possessed the kingdom.”
Revelation 13:7,8
“…And authority was given it(the Beast) over every tribe and people and language and nation,
8 and all who dwell on earth will worship it, everyone whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain.”
The authority was given to the Beast over every tribe and people and language and nation. For all(nations) who dwell on earth will worship the Beast but they will be slain.
Revelation 13:9,10
9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear:
10 If anyone is to be taken captive,
to captivity he goes;
if anyone is to be slain with the sword,
with the sword must he be slain.
Here is a call for the endurance and faith of the saints.
Why did angel say “Here is a call for the endurance and faith of the saints” in verse 10? Was that related to the saints?
Yes maybe, maybe the verse 10 was talking about the saints and they will be killed by the Beast- “two witnesses” be killed. So for someone(saints) who maybe taken captive or will be slain, this will be a call for the endurance and faith of the saints. Please also read <The Greatest Top Tree and Seven Periods> and <Seventy Sevens – Seventy Weeks> for more about the periods of the beast.
Let’s back to the Beast…
Who is the “False Prophet” ?
Revelation 13:11 “Then I saw “another beast” rising out of the earth(not from sea). It had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon.”
“…It(the Beast) was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns. 8 I considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them “another horn“, a little one(a little horn-the 8th One-the Beast rise from earth), before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots. And behold, in this horn(little horn) were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a “mouth speaking” great things.”
– Daniel 7:7,8
Why does there has another Beast rise from the earth? Not like other beasts came from sea. Who is this Beast? It has two horns and looks like the lamb(Jesus Christ) but actually the inner the Evil one.
“…and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.” – Luke 6:45
Who is the another Beast – the 8th Beast that rise on earth? What does Bible say about this Beast?
Revelation 13:11-17
11 Then I saw another beast(666) rising out of the earth(not from sea). It had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon.
12 It exercises all the authority of the first beast(the 7 heads’ Beast) in its presence, and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed.
13 It(the Beast 666) performs great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in front of people,
14 and by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence of the beast it deceives those who dwell on earth, telling them to make an image for the beast that was wounded by the sword and yet lived.
15 And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain.
16 Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead,
17 so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number(666) of its name.
How does Bible define this “666” Beast who rise on earth, perform great signs and deceive people to worship the first Beast(7 heads’ Beast), also force all to receive its’ mark “666”?
Answer : the False Prophet
“And the beast(the 7 heads’ Beast) was captured, and with it the false prophet(the Beast 666) who in its presence had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.” – Revelation 19:20
Therefore, the Revelation tells us clearly, the “666” Beast(the 8th One) rise on earth looks like Jesus Christ, it means this Beast gives people the illusion that it is Christ. But actually this “666” Beast(little horn) is the “False Prophet” or “False Christ“, or “anti-Christ“. Both the 7 heads’ Beast and the “666” Beast [False Prophet, False Christ] who rise on earth will be burned and destroyed in the lake of fire.
“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.” – Matthew 7:15
“19 And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies gathered to make war against him(Jesus Christ) who was sitting on the horse and against his army. 20 And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet (the Beast 666) who in its presence had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark(666) of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.” – Revelation 19:19,20
“I looked then because of the sound of the great words that the (little) horn was speaking. And as I looked, the beast was killed, and its body destroyed and given over to be burned with fire.” – Daniel 7:11
The Mystery of 666
18 This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man(human), and his number is ‘666‘.
Firstly, the “7 heads’ Beast” represents a whole combination of its all kingdoms(all heads) which got the authority power from the Red Dragon. In the different time period, the Beast will show up a different head.
If you are standing at 600BC, the “7 heads’ Beast” would show its’ 3rd Head-Babylon Empire(the days of Daniel). If you are standing at 1st century, the “7 heads’ Beast” would show its’ 6th Head-Rome Empire(the times of apostle John).
And then, who is the beast of Revelation 13:11 which rise on earth?
Revelation 13:3 One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was “healed“.
Revelation 17:8 “The beast(Greece) that you saw was, and is not(not existing in John’s time), and is about to rise from the bottomless pit and go to destruction.”
Revelation 17:11 “As for the beast that was, and is not, it is “an eighth” but it belongs to the seven(seven heads’ beast)”.
We can say this Beast(the 8th One) was part of the “seven heads’ Beast”. Actually the 8th Beast also belongs to that “seven heads’ Beast”, because the “Seven Heads“, “10 horns” and “a little horn(the 8th One)” is a “whole” of the “Seven Heads’ Beast”, they represents all highest dominions had appeared in the history.
In the another words : the Beast that rise from earth can be said is the “8th head” of 7 heads’ Beast. That’s why Revelation 17:11 say it is the “eighth one“, the fifth head(Greece) got the mortal wound, and then the healed head became the “eighth one” who was risen from bottomless pit.
But why did God particularly define it as a new Beast(the 8th Beast) not the eighth head?
The 8th One – The little Horn
This tells us the eighth one(little horn) is really different from the before, it is much greater, so God particularly uses a new Beast to emphasize its significant in Revelation not just a head only. But this Beast(the eighth one) actually belongs to the seven heads’ Beast(belongs to the 7th head-British Empire).
Same as the 4th Beast of Daniel’s vision, the little horn was come out among of the ten horns, and the little horn became the biggest.
” 7 …It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns. 8 I considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots. And behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth “speaking” great things.” – Daniel 7:7,8
We can say the “little Horn” of Daniel’s vision is the “8th Beast” of Revelation 13:11. And this Beast has name or represents its name’s number “666“, “666” is the number of man(mankind). So what does it mean? who is the Beast? What is its name 666 meant? This is the mystery, but will be revealed at the end time, maybe is now our day.
666 – Number of Mankind
Angel told us “666” was related to the number of man(mankind) and calculating the number would know the Beast’s name. How to know its name “666” meaning? We know the only relationship about “6” and man is : God created man in the 6th day. So is that the reason why God says “6” is the number of man?
This is the only interpretation. But why are three “6”? Does it mean 3 men? If it means “3 men”, this bring our mind connecting to the 3 sons of Noah, because every tribes and peoples and languages and nations are developed from those “3 men”. If so, then three ‘6’ means the together of 3 sons, or their combination or their bond?
So what does it mean of the number of the Beast? The angel gave us a hints, calculate the number, it is the number of a man[mankind]. So, angel said calculate the number of man…
Firstly, the descendants of the 3 Sons were formed many different “Tribe“, and then many tribes formed to a kind of “People“, and then many kind of people developed to a “Language“, and then many languages combined to a “Nation“, and then many nations bonded become a “State“. And the bond of 3 Sons together means they are “United“.
Is that similar to what Genesis 11:6 has said?
“And YHWH said, “Behold, they are one people(united), and they have all one language(united), and this is only the beginning of what they will do. And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them.”
So if we bond(United) all 3 Sons’ descendants together, they would become “States“, then the Beast name will be : “United States“-US. Is it the meaning of “666“, the Beast’s name meant?
United of Mankind – United States
Yes, I think so. English “United” means combined together, and “States” means united from many different nations(number of mankind). So many men becomes > “Tribe“, many tribes becomes > a kind of “People“, many kind of people becomes > “Language“, many languages becomes > “Nation“, many nations becomes > “State“.
Revelation 13:7 “And authority was given it(the Beast) over every tribe and people and language and nation.”
Please imagine Japanese face, a Japanese face will be showed up in your mind. Please imagine British face, a face of British will be displayed in your mind. Please imagine Chinese, Egyptian, South African, Italian… you will got their face image of your mind. Right?
But how about US people? You can’t imagine their face firmly, why? Because their faces could be the white people or black or Asian or African or European or Middle Easterners or Indian… They could be any kind people. Only one country of this world is like this, that is United States. All countries have their own people’s unique face except US. Right?
Rise on earth ; has 2 Horns
The Beast(US) rised on earth(land) and it has two horns. What does it mean? It was different from other Beasts which were rised from the sea, their power is come from the red dragon directly. The power of this Beast (the United States) comes from the election of its political system, comes from their people (from symbolized “earth”?), not directly from the red dragon.
It has 2 horns, and horn means the king, so it means US has two kings. Two kings? Who are they? They are the Democratic and the Republican parties. They looks like lamb(Jesus) goodness, kind, love, righteousness… but actually it speaks like dragon(the real inside).
Although the power of US is come from its people, but “It exercises all the authority of the first Beast(the seven heads’ Beast)”. It “makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first Beast, the mortal wound head was healed, it rise from bottomless pit and became the 8th One – US.
US is the 8th Beast and it makes all other nations and inhabitants worshipthe mortal wound head-Greece(Democracy System), Greece is the founder of Democracy political system.
An Image of seven heads’ Beast
“14 and by the signs that it(US) is allowed to work in the presence of the beast, it deceives those who dwell on earth, telling them to make an image for the beast that was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15 And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain.”
US deceives those(all nations) who dwell on earth, deceiving them to make an image(‘United Nations‘) for the Beast that was wounded.
The name of the 8th Beast in English is “United States“, and the image it created in English is named “United Nations“. The 8th Beast gave breath to the image means it gave live and power to United Nations, and the image has to listen to the 8th Beast-US. The image of the Beast might even speak(United Nations General Assembly) and might cause those who would not worship the image of the Beast to be slain(United Nations Force).
Mark the right hand or forehead
And it causes all(nations), both small(nations) and great(nations), both rich(nations) and poor(nations), both free(nations) and slave(nations), to be marked on the right hand or the forehead(belongs to the Beast 666). So that no one can buy or sell through those trading system(organization) that US setup, unless he has the mark(maybe signed an agreement).
It causes “all“, “small” and “great”, “rich” and “poor”, “free” and “slave”…. What does it mean “all“? Is that mean “all” individual man?
We are sure that it does not mean individual people, at least all saints and God’s people won’t have mark of the Beast.
So if this terms “all” does not mean “individual” people, then it will be the other meaning. We can say it means “nations” that formed by men(all people), whatever the nation is small or great, or the nation is rich or poor, free or slave.
And we see that all terms what God using in Revelation is pointed to an “organization“, not the specific individual man. So that’s why we say : all means all nations, whatever they are small(nation) and great(nation), rich(nation) and poor(nation), free(nation) and slave(nation).
Does the mystery of “666” has revealed? Is that really means US? Yes, United States is really the number of man(mankind), and it matches “all conditions” of the Beast 666 below.
1.) US belongs to the seventh head Beast(UK).
2.) Who can fight against it? No one. Only one world hegemony, that is United States.
3.) The 8th One has 2 horns. US has 2 Kings – Republican Party and Democratic Party.
4.) US blasphemies God with “Pride Month”.
5.) US created an image “United Nations”.
If it is not the US, where to find another world hegemony which more powerful than US? Could you point it out? And also the “authority was given to it(US) over every tribe and people and language and nation“.
Let us Praise and Glorify Jehovah God, for He is the only True God who has revealed it before 2000 years. May we all Worship and Honor Heavenly Father, have Faith in Jehovah God and His salvation. Amen.
Please read <Ten horns and the beast>.
Interesting Question
An interesting question, does “666” mean the number or the quantity(Six hundred and sixty-six)?
It should mean “number”. If it means the quantity, then Revelation 13:18 this verse will being like this…
“This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the ‘quantity‘ of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his ‘quantity‘ is Six Hundred and Sixty-Six.”
You see, it seems does not make sense. If so, angel has given the answer already, the quantities is six hundred and sixty-six. Why should we have to understanding and calculate it? If so, does it mean there are six hundred and sixty-six beasts?
So ‘666’ should be a number, and we believe apostle John wrote down ‘666’ is not quantities of six hundred and sixty-six. Then verse 18 will be made sense, “his number is 666”. So ‘6’ means number not the quantity.
Goes to destruction
This Beast 666(the little horn-the False Prophet-the False Christ-the AntiChrist) will be destroyed soon…
The judgment time has come.
Daniel 7:9,10 says,
9 “As I looked,
thrones were placed,
and the Ancient of Days took his seat;
his clothing was white as snow,
and the hair of his head like pure wool;
his throne was fiery flames;
its wheels were burning fire.
10 A stream of fire issued
and came out from before him;
a thousand thousands served him,
and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him;
the court sat in judgment,
and the books were opened.
11 “I looked then because of the sound of the great words that the horn(the little horn) was speaking. And as I looked, the beast was killed, and its body destroyed and given over to be burned with fire.
Amen.
Let’s see the <Judgment has come>…
