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. Revelation 13:18
Who is this
beast who has the
number belonging to a man? And who we are told to let those
with understanding count his number? One
will note Revelation 13:18 does not
say the beast is a man. The beast is a beast. The man is a
man. But the number of this man becomes the number of the
beast.
To what end? Well, every man, woman, and child legally living in the United
States can be issued their own unique number. This is
administered by the United States government through the Social Security
office. Each person receives a Social Security card. A
card can be reissued if lost or stolen but the number itself is never
reused, even after a person's death. They are inactivated though
when the Social Security office receives notice of a person's
death.
Without this number, no one in the United States can legally sell the fruits of
their labors nor reap the benefits of their labors by receiving money, enabling
them to buy what they want. In other words, without this number, no
one in the United States can legally work and get paid. In addition,
without a child having this number, no one can claim that child as a dependant
enabling them to reduce their income tax burden.
These numbers are highly sought after by illegal
aliens. Those in the country illegally without a valid US birth
certificate cannot receive this number from the United States government.
Consequently, these numbers are sold on the black market. To best
work, they must be from people who are believed to have died but the Social
Security administration has no record of their death and consequently their
number is still active.
Such it is with one Harrison J. Bounel who was
born in 1890, issued a social security number, showed up in the
1940's census, but has failed to show up in any census since then.
While he can be presumed dead, without a death certificate, his Social
Security number is still active and being used by none other than, well you
guessed it. And has been since 1979.
Now on to the number itself. You may ask, where
is this understanding required to count the number of six hundred three
score and six? Well, for one it was revealed in the best selling "Left
Behind" series of 16 books which ran from 1995 to 2007. That understanding
reveals the number 216. It is quite simple. it is counting
six sixes of six. Or put another way, multiplying the digits in 666.
Which is the same as multiplying the digits in 600, 60, and
6, ignoring any zero's which would make the result zero. Remember
that zeros are placeholders and the concept of zero itself as a
number in its own right is a fairly modern invention. So the same
result of 216 is also arrived at by multiplying six hundred, three, a
"score" which is equal to 20, and 6.
Now, applying this same principle to the Social
Security number assigned to a man in Connecticut some 70 years ago. First,
we must realize there are really three numbers separated by hyphens that
make up any Social Security number. The first number is the area number
made up of 3 digits. In this case, multiplying the non-zero digits
belonging to this man gives us the number 8. The second number is the
group number made up of 2 digits. Multiplying the non-zero digits of this
second number belonging to this man gives us the number 48. The third
number is the serial number made up of 4 digits. Multiplying the non-zero
digits of this third number belonging to this man gives us the number 160.
And the total for these three numbers is 8 plus 48 plus 160 which is 216.
Perfect match.
Now the Social Security number of this man is in
the public domain and quite easily found. When one considers that the Social Security number of
this man was used and continues to be used by one, would you believe
it if I told you, many call "the beast", to establish and keep
legitimacy, the importance of Revelation 13:18 bringing it to our attention
cannot be overstated. To think this was written close to 2,000 years
ago. Without the number, this "beast" has no standing to work in the
United States. With the number, this "beast" stands on the top of the
world.
Now the beast described in Revelation does not
make his accomplishments alone. The book of Revelation makes this
clear. There are three in what is called the unholy trinity, the serpent,
the beast of the sea, and the beast of the land. Both the serpent and
the beast of the land give their power to the beast of the sea. Let's
start with the serpent. Revelation 12 introduces us to the dragon,
that old serpent, called the devil and satan.
And the great dragon was cast out, that old
serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was
cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Revelation
12:9
We are next introduced to the beast of the sea,
which many simple call "the beast", in Revelation 13:1 and the beast
of the land, which many simply call "the false prophet", in Revelation
13:11. In Revelation 13:4 we see the dragon giving power
to the beast of the sea.
And they worshipped the dragon which gave power
unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the
beast? who is able to make war with him? Revelation
13:4
In Revelation 13:12 we see also the false
prophet using his power for the benefit of the first beast, the beast
of the sea.
And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast
before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the
first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. Revelation
13:12
In fact the description of the second beast we have in
Revelation 13:11-18 is many times in how he relates to the first
beast.
And he had power to give life unto the image of the
beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as
would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
Revelation 13:15
Now starting with a false assumption that the Bible
says the first beast is a man, leads one to question why the Bible does not say
the second beast is also a man, or the dragon is a man. It must be because
they are not men. That leads to the question then, what are
they? If they are not men, then they must be only spirit beings. But
this is also a false conclusion because the Bible bears witness to itself that
all three of these are not only spirit beings but physical, being all three
possessed.
And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out
of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the
mouth of the false prophet. Revelation
16:13
That still begs the question as to what this physical
flesh and blood dragon and two beasts really are. Well, they can be
exactly what the Bible says they are if they are Nephilim. The dragon
would have reptilian DNA mixed with human while the two beasts would have
bovine type DNA mixed with human. Now, this may seem science fiction to
many, yet it is recorded that these days will be like the days of
Noah.
But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the
coming of the Son of man be. Matthew
24:37
There were giants in the earth in those days; and
also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and
they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of
renown. And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and
that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil
continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth,
and it grieved him at his heart. And the LORD said, I will destroy man
whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the
creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made
them. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
Genesis 6:4-8
In the English numbering of letters after the Greek and
Hebrew, the word "Nephilim" has a value of 221. It is of interest that
this is the closest number to 216 that is divisible by 13. Now the
King James does not use the word "Nephilim" but often translates the
word as "giants". Other times it has used the
word "Anakims".
Whither shall we go up? our brethren have
discouraged our heart, saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the
cities are great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of
the Anakims there. Deuteronomy
1:28
A people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims;
but the LORD destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in
their stead: Deuteronomy
2:21
What if I also told you that the word, "Anakims"
also has a value of 221? Let those with understanding count the
first and last name of the beast.
