The mystery of the meaning of the number six-hundred and sixty-six quoted in Revelation 13:18 remains a debated topic because the number 666 is only mentioned in this single Bible verse. But is it? A recent discovery uncovers number 666 hidden throughout the Bible within the text. This post presents twenty-three verses clearly associated with number 666 revealing new facts about about what this number means.
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 (666).
In a previous post noted above,
I explained how cross Bible verse sequence numbers (1 to 31,102) have meaning. These
numbers are not seen in the Bible’s we have today but can be determined by
numbering every verse in scripture from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21 (Using
the KJV or other like numbered Bible versions). Following are a couple of examples to help show
the concept of cross-Bible verse numbers.
Impossible? Keep reading so as not to miss the miracle of this seemingly impossible claim that cross-Bible verse sequence numbers tie directly to the text
Job 5:8-9 “As for me, I would seek God...who does great things and unsearchable, marvelous things without number:
- · The 16,666th verse of the Bible is Proverbs 10:9 … he that perverts his ways shall be known.
- · The 17,666th verse of the Bible is Isaiah 1:11 “To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.”
- · The 29,666th verse of the Bible is 2 Thessalonians 2:4 “…Who opposes and exalts himself above all… so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.”.
- · (These and 20 more examples presented below)
Another evidence supporting the theme of great sin for number 666 can be found in the 666th Bible chapter of Ecclesiastes chapter 20 which speaks of wickedness on earth. -- Ecc 7:20 “For there is not a just man upon earth, that does good, and does not sin”.
This article will demonstrate
strong evidence for the intentional cross-Bible numbering pattern found in the
Bible and that the numbering is directly related to the text it is associated
with. This goes for every different number, not just 666. The 666 related evidence is simply
one example of how perfect the Bible’s numbering is. It is an amazing experience to see these
numbers for yourself as they cause us to realize that every verse in the Bible
must be present in its exact location for this pattern to exist. This pattern
is one of thousands of number evidences that point to an inerrant divinely created Bible.
This pattern could not be contrived
as it validates itself to be consistent. The 666 verses are exactly 1000 verses
apart and the text they are associated with cannot be moved. For the pattern to
be correct one must observe a preponderance of evidence each 666 verse lands on
a verse strongly related to sin. The examples shown clearly demonstrate this
preponderance of evidence.
Take particular note how the evidence points to
extreme examples of sin such as the 29,666th Bible verse --
2Thelessions 2:4 where the anti-Christ
takes the throne pointing himself to be God. – “Who opposes and exalts himself above all… so
that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.”.
This is not a casual verse that happens to be about sin, instead, it may be the
strongest verse in the Bible about evil! The other evidences are similarly
compelling. BTW, This pattern only exists perfectly in the KJV and like
numbered translations.
Compare to the nn888th cross-Bible verse numbers
In the previous post mentioned above,
I showed the Bible’s cross number verses ending with nn,888 explaining the
number 888 pointed to Jesus whose name can be expressed with the gematria
number 888. To demonstrate these 888 related evidences are not just happenstance,
I’m writing this article showing this numbering pattern is also seen in more
numbers than 888. This example of 666 demonstrates the God-given theme for 666
as revealing the numbering pattern. Many believe the number 666 is only
explicitly mentioned in scripture related to the beast in Revelation chapter
13. Once you become familiar with the Bible’s numbering you will find references
to 666 are scattered all throughout the Bible in many ways. Here’s one you’ve
probably overlooked many times: Isa 66:6 “A
voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that
renders recompence to his enemies.”
The Value of this and Similar Number Patterns
Below are presented a list of
the Bible’s nn666 verses. Upon examining them you will likely observe how these
verses all point to some aspect of; sin, forgiveness, punishment or learning
not to sin. I have included twenty-three of the thirty-one verses having a
cross-bible verse number ending in 666. As you look at them you might find
yourself asking; OK, this is interesting, but how is this information useful to
me, an average student of the Bible? If God did this, it must have a purpose. To
help answer this question, here are a few reasons God’s number patterns are a
great gold mine of value to those who love to study God’s Word:
·
GOD’S HIGHLIGHTING: They help us not to
overlook the seriousness of the message in the verses about sin. This kind of
numerical flag highlighting the verse can cause us to slow down and consider
what God is communicating. It’s like God has yellow highlighted these 666 verses
for us.
·
INERRANT SCRIPTURE: The pattern helps us
totally trust the scriptures as only God could have left this impossible
pattern for us to discover in these latter days. This perfection in numbering
of the Bible should eliminate any doubt we might have about the Bible being
complete or being a product of human hands that might have not recorded history
correctly.
·
DEEPER INTERPRETATION: The numbers help
us understand and interpret scripture more deeply. A possible example of this is
found in Judges 6:11, the 6,666th verse of the Bible which says, “Gideon
threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites”.
Without seeing the relationship to the number 666 and sin, we might miss the
significance of the process of the threshing wheat which separates the wheat
from the chaff. This directly compares to how God works to separate us from sin
through what is sometimes a difficult and painful process. It also points out
the significance of the events that take place in the threshing floor in other
parts of scripture.
·
CONCORDANCE: These perfect number
patterns provide a type of a concordance or index to verses about sin (or other
topics depending on the number). If you want to study what God says about sin,
you can review the nn,666th verses of the Bible.
(NOTE: I will shortly be releasing an Android/iPhone app that will teach about these number patterns and allow you to look them up for yourself).
·
NUMBER THEMES: The pattern provides compelling
evidence for understanding God’s theme for number 6 and number 666. The themes
for God’s number meanings are determined by recognizing number patterns such as
this one and then analyzing them to identify the common textual theme among
them. The theme of sin for number six is found throughout the Bible in many
ways. For example, Genesis chapter six is the chapter where God makes the
decision to cleanse the earth and makes this statement which just happens to be
in verse six! Gen 6:6 “And
it repented the LORD that he had made
man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.”. See other chapter sixes and especially,
6:6 verses to see how six is a number for sin including, consequences and
repentance.
The List of 666 verses
Finally, see in the list below
the amazingly strong association of the cross-Bible verse numbers ending with
the number 666 and sin. See my other blog post regarding the number 888 to help
confirm these associations are not a product of happenstance or coincidence.
Only an unimaginable God could have created this pattern in His Word.

Conclusion
I hope you were able to observe
the pattern. Do not be worried if you cannot quite take in this evidence. I
began seeing these patterns more than 20 years ago and needed thousands of
evidences and more than two years of study to finally be 100% convinced they
are real. If this article stirs your interest in investigating the patterns more,
it has done its job.
