As published in the Herald Sun Newspaper here in Melbourne, Australia, a translation error lead to the publishing of the number of the Beast as 666. The correct number is in fact 616. Many of you will have had thoughts about the fact that 666 is an odd number for the number of a man already, I am sure.

What the bible teaches in Revelation is that with wisdom, you can learn the name of the Beast using his number (Revelation 13:18 - "Here is the wisdom. Let him having reason count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. And its number is six hundred and sixteen."). If you are wise, you will realise that being the anti-Christ, the number and the name of the Beast have something to do with Jesus. In fact, it has something to do with His name!

616, the number is like a pair of doors with something separating them; imagine two stars of David separated by a single line and you will get the picture about how to picture 616. The effect of this number on sound is a kind of inversion; just as cuping your fingers over your mouth affects the sound that you make with your mouth, so the number 616 affects what you make of a word or name that you apply it to - that is the theory.

To understand how 616 affects the name of Jesus in its original Hebrew, you need to apply the theory and transform the sound of His name, Yeshua, to make another name. I will try to represent this visually to give you an idea.

The way it sounds is important (you can see the wave pattern in the way I have laid out the letters!).

What is the significance of "Asyuhe"? It is pronounced much like the English "As You Are", which is an anathema to any Christian (in other words "not through the Door")! God loved us as we were but He sent His Son to die for us on the cross that we might not remain as we were, loving us that we might be with Him in heaven. The anti-Christ does not send this message; the anti-Christ sends the message that we will get into heaven no matter what we do, encouraging us to ignore God's message of love.

Consider this in your spirit and you will realize that this is a warning from God about what the anti-Christ represents. We are not to remain "as we are" but we are to seek being like Christ, "Yeshua", which sounds in English like "Yea Shhh You Are" or "Yes, Quiet You Are" (again, the way it sounds is important). This is in keeping with the verses in Isaiah,
Isaiah 53:7 "He was oppressed, and He was afflicted; yet He opened not His mouth. He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter; and as a sheep before its shearers is dumb, so He opened not His mouth."
I hope you find this encouraging and that the Holy Spirit endears this message to you.

Your brother,
Christopher Jenyns.

While there are manuscripts recording 616, saying that there is good reason for now believing it was the original number is going too far. We've had both sets of manuscripts for a long time, and though scholars say there's some doubt if 666 is the right reading, there's certainly not a lot of support for 616 either. Irenus, pupil of Polycarp, pupil of John, knew of both versions and said that 616 is scribal error, according to "Againts Heresies" book 5 chapter 30.

I do not believe that you know the name of the beast. If you had used wisdom using the two numbers, you would have been able to work out that what I am saying is correct. I do not mean to tell you that you are "wrong", but I urge you to reconsider disregarding the wisdom I have exercised.

My bible says 666. Enough said.

I believe what I am saying so strongly that I changed my bible to show the correct number. I am not merely acting on a whim, though you seem to be (forgive me, if I am wrong).

"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." Rev. 13:18
Consider the following.


THE BEAST SYMBOL OF REVELATION
13


Read the entire chapter. The beast of Rev. 13:1-10 is the beast of verses 17, 18. The symbol represents a power as do the beast of Daniel and other chapters of the book of Revelation.

Rev. 13:2, "And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion, and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority."


Note this power has an image, a mark, a number. (Rev. 15:2.) The beast succeeds the dragon and receives the dragon’s capital city. (Rev. 12:1-6.) The dragon is primarily Satan (verse 9) but secondarily the pagan Roman Empire through which Satan worked in an effort to destroy Christ.

Note these three symbols:

"Dragon"-Rome.

"Woman"-The Church (2 Cor. 11:2).

"Manchild"-Christ (Rev. 19:5).

Pagan Rome was succeeded by papal Rome, which received the city as its capital. It is a religious power (see Rev. 13:1). "Blasphemy" is a religious offense (see John 10:33 and Luke 5:21). The power to forgive sins belongs to God only. Honor due God is not due man.

666 IS THE NUMBER OF A MAN AND IS IN HIS NAME

One of the titles of the Bishop of Rome is Vicar of the Son of God or in Latin official language, Vicarius Filii Dei. This official name is acknowledged to be one of the titles used by the popes. The letters of the Latin or Roman phrase Vicarius Filii Dei have the numerical value 666.

V – 5_____F– 0
I – 1_____ I –1
C –100___ L–50
A –0_____ I –1
R –0_____ I–1
I –-1
U--5_____D –500
S –0_____E–0
________I–1
Total = 666


The forged Donation of Constine was used for centuries to uphold the papal right to this title:

"Donation of Constantine:

"Sicut B. Petrus in terris vicarius Filii Dei esse videture constitutis, ita et Pontifices, que ipsius principis apoatolorum gerunt vices, principatus potestatem amplius quam terrena imperialis nostrae serenitatis mansuetudo habere videtur, concessam a nobis nostroque imperio."

"As the Blessed Peter is seen to have been constituted vicar of the Son of God on the earth, so pontiffs who are the representatives of that same chief of the apostles, should obtain from us and our empire the power of a supremacy greater that the clemency of our earthly imperial secrenity is seen to have conceded to it."

Source: Donation of Constantine, quoted in Christopher B. Coleman, The Treatise of Lorenzo on the Donation of Constantine, pp. 12, 13. Copyright 1922 Yale University Press, New Haven, Conn. Used by permission. (FRS No. 14.)

We can study more pertaining to the 'beast' and his mark next if you would care to do so.


Respectfully, your brother in Christ,
Doc

I see you are fervant, Gottservant, however I am compelled to state once again that there exists no compelling reason to believe that John must have written six hundred sixteen as opposed to six hundred sixty six. It is possible, but even then, untill the beast has been revealed (i.e., the antichrist, during the apocalypse), his number was not meant to be discerned.

The name of the Beast given in the Bible is his spiritual name, it will not be his earthly name.

Consider again what I have said about the name of Beast meaning to remain "as you are"; Christ does not desire this, but for one who does, that makes him an anti-Christ and so the anti-Christ will make that his principle purpose. I write this that you do not remain "as you are" in your belief that the anti-Christ has come and gone; you would not assert that Armageddon is over, I am sure.

May Christ encourage you in your walk with Him, praise God!
