how to calculate the number 666 The antichrist won't be identified by a tattoo or a microchip but by a name A name that adds up to 666 You've seen the signs cashless economies face scans but buried beneath all of it is a number linked to a man a name calculated in ancient code In this video we'll uncover how to decode that name the math behind the prophecy and whether he's already walking among us Let's pause step back from the chaos of global headlines biochips and political tensions and focus on something ancient quiet hidden and deadly accurate A system so old so embedded in the languages of scripture that it was never meant to be guessed It was meant to be calculated Revelation 13:18 doesn't say "Guess the number of the beast." It says "Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast." This is not poetry It's a mathematical instruction The Bible is giving us a formula a challenge a warning But how do you calculate a name With a system called gamatria In ancient Hebrew every letter is a number There are no separate symbols for math and language The alphabet is the calculator Let's walk through it Alfals 1 Bet equals 2 Gimmel= 3 Dallet quattro Vav= 6 C= 8 Ted 9 y= 10 From there the values increase by 10 Calf= 20 meals 40 samkals 60 ain 70 So if you write someone's name in Hebrew you're also writing a number Let's do it together Take the name Ruth spelled in Hebrew with just three letters Rash 200 vav vav equals 6 Tav t 400 Now add them up 200 + 6 + 400 = 66 That's Ruth's name value Not metaphorically not symbolically literally To the Jewish mind the value of a name was just as important as its pronunciation The higher the value the greater the name was believed to be In biblical culture your name was your number So when the book of Revelation tells us the name of the Antichrist will add up to 666 it's not using a code for money It's telling us to count letters Just like this The same system appears in Greek the language the book of Revelation was originally written in Just like Hebrew Greek letters also carry numerical values Alpha A= 1 Beta V= 2.0 Gamma Gamma= 3 Iota= 10 Kappa= 20 row= 100 Sigma S= 200 Assign numerical values to each Greek letter Now total it 10 + 8 + 200 + 70 + 400 200 = 888 888 The number of resurrection of new beginnings of divine completion beyond perfection Now look at the contrast The antichrist 666 Man's number repeated Imperfection magnified A counterfeit of the Trinity Jesus 888 Antichrist 6666 this isn't coincidence this is mathematical prophecy 77 not 7,000 but 888 a complete break from the cycle of failure a resurrection from the imperfection of man a new creation coded into the very letters of his name in Greek The name Isus Isus Jesus holds numerical value Each letter corresponds to a number And when they are added the total is 888 Three times the number of new creation three times the number of divine resurrection three times the number of perfect restoration And this is where the war begins 888 is not just a contrast to 666 It is a direct challenge The antichrist doesn't come as a devil in red robes He comes as a savior a substitute Christ He will imitate resurrection He will imitate miracles He will imitate worship But he cannot imitate the number 888 because 888 belongs to one name and his throne is not of this world Let's slow down The number seven in the Bible has long symbolized completion perfection the divine rest God created the world in six days and rested on the seventh The seventh day became holy The seventh year a Sabbath The seventh cycle a jubilee But six the number that comes just before seven represents something that strives but falls short It's ambition without fulfillment Humanity without divinity power without redemption Now imagine that failure repeated Not once not twice but three times 666 the number of man's rebellion multiplied a trinity of blasphemy But if six is the number of man and seven is the number of God then what does 8 represent 8 is the number of new beginnings The eighth day begins a new week Jewish boys were circumcised on the eighth day symbolizing covenant Jesus rose from the dead on the first day of the week which was also the the Arabic language uses a similar system called abjad numerals Each letter of the Arabic alphabet corresponds to a number This is why the warning in Revelation isn't optional Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast because the number isn't random It's not vague It's attached to a real name It could be in Hebrew It could be in Greek It could be in Arabic Now ask yourself something What's the value of your name Have you ever written it vertically and added up the letters Remember this Numbers don't lie Names don't hide forever And Revelation gave you the formula So when the time comes will you have the courage to calculate In the world of prophecy numbers are never random They're not placeholders They're not coincidences They are messages spiritual fingerprints meant to be discovered counted So when Revelation tells us the number of the beast is 666 It's not simply branding a villain It's revealing a character A man of brilliance but not wisdom A man of leadership but not redemption A man of influence but not salvation A man who looks like he rose from the grave but only one truly did This is the ultimate counterfeit Three sixes the number of man raised to divine imitation For 2,000 years history has marched to the rhythm of failed saviors Some bore swords others bore scrolls All claimed a divine call All had followers All left devastation But one is coming who will not fail One who will not be rejected One who will not merely stir a nation but the entire world Let's begin with Bar Kokba the warrior messiah In 130 AD he rose up against Rome He led thousands of Jews to believe he was the promised redeemer For a moment hope returned Jerusalem nearly broke free Then came Rome's fury The rebellion was crushed The temple grounds were salted with blood And those who believed were buried under their trust Why would so many people follow a man with no miracles no gospel and no resurrection What were they really searching for Then came Moses of Cree He told his followers "The Messiah awaits us in the sea Thousands obeyed They waited into the waters waiting to be lifted But the waves rose instead And by the end of that day the Messiah never came The next Messiah the world receives won't require faith He'll come with fire with signs with answers Centuries later Sabatai swept through the Jewish world with messianic fire He promised to lead God's people back to their land He was celebrated across Europe Feasts were held in his honor Rabbitic leaders wept with joy And then he was arrested He denied his calling He converted to Islam Hope belief triumph shame collapse betrayal Each Messiah brought with him a deeper wound but also a clearer pattern They all came in their own name If men and women could so easily be deceived then what makes us think we'll recognize the final one Because he won't come alone He will rise with a prophet with global signs with enforced worship The next Messiah won't lead people into the sea He'll lead them into eternal judgment and they'll follow False messiahs have come and gone but one remains And unlike the others this one will be received by the whole world For centuries people have dismissed the book of Revelation as symbolic metaphorical even hysterical They mocked the idea that a number could define a person that a name could be calculated that a prophecy this specific could ever hold water in the modern world But Revelation 13:18 makes a bold demand not a suggestion not a riddle a command Here is wisdom Let him that hath understanding calculate the number of the beast This is not a call to speculate It is a call to calculate The Greek word used sephiso literally means to count using stones a common method of numerical assignment to letters in the ancient world This tells us that the number 666 isn't arbitrary It's derived from a real name using real math based in real language This is where it becomes chilling Throughout history people have tested this method They've searched for men whose names add up to this number desperate to identify the one the Bible warns about Others thought it could be Nero the violent Roman emperor Some used Latin-based calculations Others pointed to Napoleon Still others have tried modern names Popes presidents and tech moguls all seeking a fit The chilling truth the world won't recognize him because he'll be loved He will be welcomed because he brings peace not war Unity not division hope not judgment And that's why his name must be calculated not assumed Because outwardly he may resemble a savior but inwardly his name will betray him Let's go back to the scripture The number of the beast for it is the number of a man This is the part many forget It's not the number of a demon not a fallen angel not a symbol It is the number of a man He will be a human being born raised admired not a mythological figure a man flesh and blood with a real language a real culture a real name And in that name the number will live So here's what this means for you If you are alive when he rises and it is entirely possible that you will be You will hear his name You may even speak it aloud You may vote for him follow him defend him praise him and you will not feel fear until one day someone runs the calculation and it equals 666 What happens in that moment Do you ignore it Do you laugh Do you say "That's just coincidence?" Or do you finally remember what you were warned Let him that hath understanding calculate the number Because by the time the world knows it may be too late to turn back The number will not appear with fire from heaven It will not be shouted from pulpit or printed on banners It will be quiet hidden in syllables wrapped in language waiting for understanding to awaken The question is not if it will come The question is when you hear the name will you recognize the number behind it It's one of the most ignored warnings in the entire Bible Not because it's unclear but because it's uncomfortable I have come in my father's name and you receive me not If another shall come in his own name him you will receive John 5:43 Jesus wasn't speaking to strangers He was speaking to his own people to a generation that longed for a Messiah but missed the real one when he stood before them What will happen to those that refuse to take the mark of the beast Four things that will occur Number one it will lead to financial ruin What happens to those who refuse to take the mark of the beast Picture the future where everyone is following the antichrist Fred a normal guy with a simple life struggles to buy or sell anything because he hasn't accepted the mark He doesn't want to be like the outcasts who refuse the mark and the antichrist They have to hide away and have a really hard time After thinking it over Fred decides to get the mark It's a quick and easy process The Antichrist's prophet has made it simple Once Fred gets the mark he knows he's turned his back on the God of the outcasts the Jesus they believe in Now he's ready to enjoy the perks of his choice This mark is a sign for the followers of the antichrist and the false prophet who speaks for the antichrist The false prophet also called the second beast is the one who makes people take this mark The mark is put directly on the hand or forehead It's not just something like a card that someone carries Yes it may seem very difficult to comprehend but all that refuse the mark will be abandoned by society Under the rule of the beast and his helper everyone will be given a mark Without this mark no one will be able to be part of the economy People won't be able to buy or sell unless they have the mark of the beast's name Number two they will be spared from God's judgment But something strange starts to happen The world is hit with all sorts of disasters like floods and earthquakes Then something even stranger happens The mark on Fred's hand starts to hurt and smell awful It turns into a terrible sore No one can help And everyone with the mark is suffering a lot Some people are confused but others know the truth They understand what's really going on The people on the outside see these events too They know this isn't because of a global attack or a war These people who are left out understand the real truth and have picked their side Even though they've faced a lot of pain they see what's happening They know that the Antichrist is a leader who wants to take Jesus's place He was almost killed but somehow healed and everyone was tricked by him So many people followed him without thinking They also understand that the sores Fred and others are dealing with aren't from this world but come from a distant place These troubles come from the temple of God way up in heaven The temple of God in heaven is a mysterious place Many people don't even know there is a temple in heaven This temple is mentioned in the book of Revelation 11 When the temple is closed it means a huge warning and judgment for the whole world The worst ever seen or that will ever be seen It would be the final judgment for the world When the temple is first opened many strange things happen First the ark of the covenant is found again But everything is about to change Seven angels appear in the temple and change everything After these things I looked and the temple sanctuary of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened And the seven angels who had the seven plagues afflictions calamities came out of the temple arrayed in linen pure and gleaming and wrapped around their chests were golden sashes Then one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath and indignation of God who lives forever and ever And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory and radiance and splendor of God and from his power And no one was able to enter the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were finished Revelation 155 to8 This judgment is very serious for heaven In the last chapter we saw how important it was to prepare for the pouring of the bowls These angels are bringing God's judgment They came straight from the heavenly temple right from God's presence and throne They're not doing this by themselves They wear special clothes pure bright linen with golden sashes around their chests This shows us that even though judgments might seem harsh they come from a fair and good place It's easy to think that bad judgments come from evil sources But this shows us something different A big judgment is coming to the earth and no one can stop it because it comes from a just and righteous God Yes the Bible talks about evil angels who cause chaos and destruction but that's not what's happening here The Bible clearly says these angels are righteous and not fallen The angels are given bowls and God's glory fills the temple with a cloud It's important to understand that people who don't believe might not see the coming judgment This means that things happen in the spiritual world before they show up in our physical world People can predict the weather like when it will rain or which way the wind will blow But God's ways are different We can't figure out how God's temple works using science We only know these secrets because God has told us And this knowledge can give us comfort Many Christians need to realize they already have answers to the world's big questions including how everything will end Heaven's order is perfect Once this judgment starts nothing can stop it Heaven is all set The temple doors are shut The seven angels are ready and people are all set to take these bowls Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels "Go and pour out on the earth the seven bowls of the wrath and indignation of God." So the first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth And loathsome and malignant swords came on the people who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped his image Revelation 16:1-2 "A voice comes from the temple." Could this be Jesus speaking In Revelation voices from heaven often represent Christ but not always because people have wronged the earthly temple Now the judgment comes from the heavenly temple These bowls deal more with human rebellion and cover more areas than other judgments did Most of the bowls like the trumpets remind us of the plagues from the Exodus painful soores turning water into blood and darkness By reminding us of these plagues these judgments show that just as God protected his people in Gan during the plagues he will also protect them from his judgments The last two bowls show the final battle and the completion of God's promises The first bowl brings really painful and nasty soores to people who worship the image of the beast and have its mark Those who follow God are not affected by this bowl It's just for those who follow the Antichrist This shows God's anger being poured out on people who were made on the sixth day Number three they will be ordered to be executed by the abomination of desolation It seems that worshiping the antichrist is linked to getting the mark and anyone who refuses to worship the image of the beast will be put to death Then another angel a third one followed them saying with a loud voice "Whoever worships the beast and his image and receives the mark of the beast on his forehead or on his hand." Revelation 14:9 And he is given power to give breath to the image of the beast so that the image of the beast will even appear to speak and cause those who do not bow down and worship the image of the beast to be put to death Revelation 13:15 Jesus referenced a future event in Daniel 9:27 when speaking about the abomination of desolation in the ET discourse In Matthew 24:15-16 Jesus says "So when you see the abomination of desolation the appalling sacrilege that astonishes and makes desolate spoken of by the prophet Daniel standing in the holy place let the reader understand Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains for refuge." The Bible is a history book but it is unique in comparison to any other history book found in public libraries It covers the entire history of the earth starting from its creation to its end No other history book has been published which covers such a wide range of events on our planet This is partly because nobody was present at the beginning to witness and document it and thus nobody can write about the beginning of our world authoritatively We are the only ones in the world who know how it will all end which is truly unique The Lord didn't reveal the future just to satisfy our curiosity but rather to prepare us for what's to come so that we won't be caught off guard or misunderstand it It's important to be grateful that Jesus shared this knowledge with us so openly and honestly People ask "Are we in the end times?" The Bible speaks of the last days a period that has lasted for 2,000 years since the prophecy was fulfilled at Pentecost Christians must always be prepared for the Lord's return The Bible is full of predictions with 735 prophecies about the future in one quarter of its chapters It is a prophetic text from start to finish Although some books focus more on predictions than others according to scripture prediction 596 out of 735 prophecies have already come true equivalent to 81% Some of these prophecies were made centuries ago and it is highly likely that the remaining 19% will also come true The Bible has proven to be correct for every prediction that could have been fulfilled by now The remaining prophecies are mostly concerned with the return of Jesus and the following events How many of these predictions need to come true before the return of Jesus The answer is approximately 20 And we must observe these events happening before we can anticipate the Lord's return Jesus instructed us to remain watchful and prayerful But what should we watch out for We cannot just stand idle and gaze at the clouds waiting for him to appear That's not what he meant Instead he meant that we should keep track of the happenings in the world and recognize the signs that he provided to help us prepare Signals are the signs In Matthew 24 the disciples asked Jesus about the signs of his return They wanted to know what to do if they didn't know when it would happen Jesus gave a direct and clear answer which we can be grateful for In the book of Revelation he provides a more detailed response But in this chapter he gave a brief summary of the signs that would precede his arrival The disciples came to Jesus secretly while he was sitting on the Mount of Olives and Jesus spoke about the abomination of desolation What is this abomination and when can we expect this Jesus warned that an event would occur in the temple that would cause people to detest and feel disgust or hatred This event would lead to complete emptiness or destruction also known as desolation When this happens the residents of Judea should seek cover without delay Different translations refer to this event as the abomination that causes desolation the sacrilegious object that causes desecration or that horrible thing The Amplified Bible explains that the abomination of desolation is the appalling sacrilege that astonishes and makes desolate Jesus referenced Daniel in his words in the Olivet discourse During a particular moment Daniel had a realization that the 70 years of captivity were about to end While he was praying Gabriel who was caused to fly swiftly arrived at that moment around the time of the evening sacrifice Gabriel informed Daniel that he was greatly beloved which was a tremendous tribute coming from God himself He then gave Daniel an outline of the future history of the Jewish nation using the figure of 70 weeks Each week represented seven years The prophet Daniel mentioned the abomination of desolation in three places Regardless of whether the abomination of desolation is a person or a thing Daniel predicted the following First in the future a leader will make a treaty with the people of Israel Second the duration of this treaty will be one week which we take to be a period of 7 years Third halfway through this period the king will gather his army and put an end to the sacrifices and offerings in the temple Fourth during that time the ruler will profane the temple by placing an abomination in it Fifth the desecration of the temple will continue until God's judgment falls upon the ruler and his followers 1,290 days 3 and 1/2 years and 1 month later Those who do not worship the image of the beast will face the antichrist's wrath Those who refuse to bow the knee to the antichrist and the beast's image may face persecution on earth but they will be rewarded in heaven But what exactly is this image of the beast There are different beliefs about what the image of the beast could be Some people think it might be a statue or a picture that appears to come to life and speak Others believe it could be a supercomput holograms human clones a cyborg It may surprise you to know that this concept has been around for over a thousand years and is still present in our world today An image is a likeness or a resemblance not an exact copy Number four those that do not take the mark will reign during the millennium with Jesus After Jesus comes back down from heaven he will actually set up this whole new kingdom Jesus will reign for 1,000 years and he will bound the devil for only 1,000 years Revelation 20 speaks in detail concerning the final state of Satan and unbelievers Verse 7 remarks that at the end of the thousand-year millennial kingdom the saints live and reign for 1,000 years And then I saw thrones and sitting on them were those to whom judgment that is the authority to act as judges was given And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God and those who had refused to worship the beast or his image and had not accepted his mark on their forehead and on their hand and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years Who sits on these thrones Perhaps the 24 elders representing the church or the apostles or the company of saints as a whole This could be the judging of angels talked about in 1 Corinthians 6:2 to3 However it's more likely that these saints are in charge here on earth These saints will rule with Jesus for the same time that Satan is locked up 1,000 years They help run the kingdom of Jesus Christ on earth overseeing those who move from the troubles of the great tribulation to the peace of the millennium Everyone who wins with Jesus will rule and reign with him 1 Corinthians 6 Do you not know that the saints God's people will one day judge the world If the world is to be judged by you are you not competent to try trivial insignificant petty cases Do you not know that we believers will judge angels How much more then as to matters of this life Why does John only mention the tribulation saints These people are mentioned to encourage them and show that others won't be forgotten This is a special recognition for those who suffered during the tribulation They faced great pain from the antichrist who claimed I will rule the earth Now these faithful believers hold power while the antichrist is defeated These martyrs are real people but they also stand for everyone who gives their lives for Jesus The term beheaded means more than we might realize The ancient Greek word actually means executed It looks like worshiping the antichrist is connected to receiving the mark And anyone who refuses to worship the image of the beast will be killed Many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake resurrect these to everlasting life but some to disgrace and everlasting contempt Abhorance Everyone will be brought back to life from the dead but not everyone will have the same future The New Testament shows that there are different resurrections for the good people and the bad people Revelation 20 talks about a first resurrection and says the people who are part of it are blessed and holy The rest of the dead the non-believers did not come to life again until the thousand years were completed This is the first resurrection Blessed happy prosperous to be admired And holy is the person who takes part in the first resurrection Over these the second death which is eternal separation from God the lake of fire has no power or authority but they will be priests of God and of Christ and they will reign with him a thousand years Revelation 20 The second death which is the lake of fire has no power over these people Then death and Hades the realm of the dead were thrown into the lake of fire This is the second death the lake of fire the eternal separation from God Revelation 20:14 The first resurrection is when all believers are raised It matches with what Jesus taught about the resurrection of the just and the resurrection of life John 5:29 And they will come out Those who did good things will come out to a resurrection of new life but those who did evil things will come out to a resurrection of judgment That is to be sentenced John 5 29 The first resurrection happens in different steps Jesus Christ himself called the first fruits made the way for the resurrection of everyone who believes in him First there will be the resurrection of the dead in Christ when the Lord comes back and then the resurrection of the martyrs at the end of the tribulation For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a shout of command with the voice of the archangel and with the blast of the trumpet of God and the dead in Christ will rise first 1 Thessalonians 4:16 At the end of the tribulation the saints from the Old Testament will also be raised They are part of the first resurrection Revelation 20:12 talks about those in the second resurrection These are the wicked people who will be judged by God at the great white throne judgment before they are thrown into the lake of fire And I saw the dead the great and the small standing before the throne And books were opened Then another book was opened which is the book of life And the dead were judged according to what they had done as written in the books that is everything done while on earth And the sea gave up the dead who were in it And death and Hades the realm of the dead surrendered the dead who were in them and they were judged and sentenced everyone according to their deeds The second resurrection is when all unbelievers are raised This second resurrection is tied to the second death It matches what Jesus taught about the resurrection of judgment And they will come out Those who did good things will come out to a resurrection of new life But those who did evil things will come out to a resurrection of judgment That is to be sentenced John 5 29 The event that separates the first and second resurrections seems to be the millennial kingdom The last of the righteous will be raised to reign with Christ for a thousand years But the rest of the dead the wicked will not live again until the thousand years are over There will be great joy at the first resurrection There will be great sorrow at the second What a huge responsibility we have to share the gospel Save others snatching them out of the fire And on some have mercy but with fear loathing even the clothing spotted and polluted by their shameless immoral freedom Jude 23 Is it possible for a person to be saved forgiven after taking the mark of the beast The question comes up can a person who has taken the mark of the beast be forgiven The answer to this question seems to be no Revelation 14:10-11 talks about what happens to someone who takes the mark of the beast and says he too will have to drink of the wine of the wrath of God mixed undiluted into the cup of his anger And he will be tormented with fire and brimstone flaming sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the lamb Christ And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever And they have no rest day and night Those who worship the beast and his image and whoever receives the mark of his name Revelation 14:10 to11 The eternal future of those who take the mark of the beast is the lake of fire Why is taking the mark of the beast such a terrible sin against God Why would God send someone to hell for taking it It seems that taking the mark of the beast is a way of rejecting God on purpose By taking the mark people are choosing to worship Satan They are deciding to follow Satan instead of obeying God and accepting Jesus as their savior When people make that choice during the tribulation God will allow them to have what they wanted to be separated from him forever Does the mark of the beast exist today Many of us wonder if the mark of the beast in Revelation 13 will be a high-tech tattoo or the plan of a billionaire The Bible makes it very clear what the mark is and when it will happen To begin there is a strict timing requirement for the mark Scripture teaches that the mark of the beast will appear at a particular time and place in history But at this point in time we have not yet arrived at that time or place The reason why the mark of the beast is referred to as the mark of the beast is because it is brought into being by a man who is referred to as the beast So until the antichrist is in charge of the whole world there can't be a mark The Bible says that the beast and his mark don't show up on earth until halfway through the 7-year tribulation So the mark can't be around in any form before the tribulation starts Because of this any talk about the mark of the beast being here today is just a warning sign Many seem to be confused because they do not understand the book of Revelation However what if there was an animation showing the entire book Well we created that And to watch that click here
