666???
eagle:
666 in greek is Chi (600) -xi (60) stigma(6)
1 Samuel 17:4 And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.
1 Samuel 17:7 And the staff of his spear was like a weaver's beam; and his spear's head weighed six hundred shekels of iron: and one bearing a shield went before him.
Goliath means splendour in hebrew.
Rev 13:3 ...and all the world wondered after the beast
Champion in hebrew is derived from Iysh which means Man. You can go on and on with this. But better yet check out what the Lord did for and through David in Davids fight against Goliath. David means beloved. That´s us !!! :)

--- Quote from: John from Kentucky on July 13, 2012, 12:04:12 PM ---6 + 6 + 6= 18
18 x 7 = 126
126 divided by 3 = 42
42 + 7 = 49
The square root of 49 = 7

Excellent. Glad we now know how to count. And I was under the impression that we are the beast or that VISA was the beast.
Marky Mark:
Man was created on day six in Genesis along with the other beasts of the earth. That in and of it self should give us a good reason why we also are called beasts.The number six is that symbolic number of the beast [mankind] because man was created on the sixth day.
Gen 1:27 And creating is the Elohim humanity in His image. In the image of the Elohim He creates it. Male and female He creates them.
Gen 1:31 ...the sixth day.
As far as God is concerned we have no preeminence above a beast...
Ecc 3:18 I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.
Ecc 3:19 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.
The number three in Scripture is symbolic for the process of completion...
Luk 13:32 And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.
Joh 2:19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
and judgement...
Exo 5:3 And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days’ journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto the LORD our God; lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.
Rev 8:12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.
Rev 8:13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!
Gen 40:19 Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.
Exo 10:22 And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:
Exo 15:22 So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.
Num 22:28 And the LORD opened the mouth of the a@@, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?
What I can see from Scripture, three sixes are a symbolic way of seeing things Spiritually. Mankind/the beast [six] must be made complete[three] through the process and progression,into judgement. Hence the 6-6-6 symbol is for those who have eyes and ears to see things Spiritual.
Rev 13:18 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.
Mat 13:15 ...lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
Hope this helps some.
Peace...Mark

Mark, I liked your great scriptural help into the understanding of Revelation 13:18. Your logic in using the number of the beast from the Genesis account was good and God's use of the number 3 was especially helpful.
I understand and agree with the first half of your quote but maybe I am misunderstanding the last highlighted part.
How would that statement then relate to the elect believers of the passage in Revelation 13:17 and also to 14:9-10?
17 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.
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
Isn't Wisdom for us who can see what the symbol 666 means but is it not put upon the unbeliever whose eyes and ears haven't been opened?
I'm sorry if I have misinterpreted what you had to say in the last part or your quote and maybe some additional clarification would help.
