The Mark Of The Beast In The Bible Verse

Number associated with the Beast of Revelation

The
number of the creature
(Koinē Greek:
Ἀριθμὸς τοῦ θηρίου,

Arithmós toû thēríou
) is associated with the Creature of Revelation in chapter thirteen, verse eighteen of the Book of Revelation. In nearly manuscripts of the New Testament and in English translations of the Bible, the number of the animal is
six hundred 60-half-dozen
or
χξϛ
(in Greek numerals,
χ
represents 600,
ξ
represents threescore and
ϛ
represents six).[ane]
Papyrus 115 (which is the oldest preserved manuscript of the
Revelation
every bit of 2017[update]), besides every bit other aboriginal sources like
Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus, give the number of the beast equally χιϛ or χιϲ, transliterable in Standard arabic numerals equally
616
(

χιϛ

), not 666;[2]
[3]
critical editions of the Greek text, such every bit the
Novum Testamentum Graece, note χιϛ as a variant.[four]

In the Bible

[edit]


χξϛ

[edit]

The number of the beast is described in Revelation xiii:15–18. Several translations have been interpreted for the pregnant of the phrase “Here is Wisdom. Allow him that hath understanding count the number of the fauna…” where the peculiar Greek word

ψηφισάτω

(psephisato) is used. Possible translations include “to count”, “to reckon” and besides “to vote” or “to make up one’s mind”.[5]

In the
Textus Receptus, derived from Byzantine text-type manuscripts, the number vi hundred sixty-six is represented by the Greek numerals
χξϛ,[6]
[vii]
with the Greek letter of the alphabet stigma (ϛ) representing the number 6:

17

καὶ ἵνα μή τις δύνηται ἀγοράσαι ἢ πωλῆσαι εἰ μὴ ὁ ἔχων τὸ χάραγμα, τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ θηρίου ἢ τὸν ἀριθμὸν τοῦ ὀνόματος αὐτοῦ.

xviii

Ὧδε ἡ σοφία ἐστίν· ὁ ἔχων τὸν νοῦν ψηφισάτω τὸν ἀριθμὸν τοῦ θηρίου· ἀριθμὸς γὰρ ἀνθρώπου ἐστί· καὶ ὁ ἀριθμὸς αὐτοῦ
χξϛʹ.


[8]




English language




17And that no human being might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the creature, or the number of his proper name.
18Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the fauna: for information technology is the number of a man; and his number is
666.”

In several editions of the Greek Bible, the number is represented by the final 3 words,


ἑξακόσιοι ἑξήκοντα ἕξ

,
hexakósioi hexēkonta héx, pregnant “six hundred [and] sixty-six”:[nine]
[10]

17

καὶ ἵνα μή τις δύνηται ἀγοράσαι ἢ πωλῆσαι εἰ μὴ ὁ ἔχων τὸ χάραγμα, τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ θηρίου ἢ τὸν ἀριθμὸν τοῦ ὀνόματος αὐτοῦ.

18

Ὧδε ἡ σοφία ἐστίν· ὁ ἔχων νοῦν ψηφισάτω τὸν ἀριθμὸν τοῦ θηρίου, ἀριθμὸς γὰρ ἀνθρώπου ἐστίν· καὶ ὁ ἀριθμὸς αὐτοῦ
ἑξακόσιοι ἑξήκοντα ἕξ.


[11]




English language




17And that no homo might buy or sell, save he that had the marker, or the proper noun of the beast, or the number of his proper noun.
18Here is wisdom. Let him that hath agreement count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is
six hundred and threescore-six.”

Revelation 13:18 states that if one is wise and has an understanding to count the number of the beast, which is also the number of a homo, the number comes to 666.


χιϛ

[edit]

Although Irenaeus (2nd century Advert) affirmed the number to be 666 and reported several scribal errors of the number, theologians accept doubts about the traditional reading[12]
because of the appearance of the figure 616 in the
Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus
(C; Paris—one of the four cracking uncial codices), as well as in the Latin version of Tyconius (DCXVI, ed. Souter in the Journal of Theology, SE, April 1913), and in an aboriginal Armenian version (ed. Conybeare, 1907). Irenaeus knew about the 616 reading, but did not adopt it (Haer. Five, 30). In the 380s, correcting the existing Latin-language version of the New Attestation (usually referred to every bit the
Vetus Latina), Jerome retained “666”.[13]
[14]

Around 2005, a fragment from Papyrus 115, taken from the Oxyrhynchus site, was discovered at the University of Oxford’due south Ashmolean Museum. It gave the beast’southward number equally 616 (
χις
). This fragment is the oldest manuscript (about one,700 years old) of Revelation 13 found as of 2017[update].[2]
[three]
Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus, known before the
Papyrus 115
finding but dating to after it, has 616 written in full:


ἑξακόσιοι δέκα ἕξ

,
hexakosioi deka hex
(lit.
“half dozen hundred and 16”).[sixteen]

Papyrus 115
and
Ephraemi Rescriptus
have led some scholars to regard 616 as the original number of the beast.[17]
According to Paul Louis, “The number 666 has been substituted for 616 either by analogy with 888, the [Greek] number of Jesus (Gustav Adolf Deissmann), or because information technology is a triangular number, the sum of the commencement 36 numbers (1+2+three+4+5+vi+…+36 = 666)”.[xviii]

Interpretations

[edit]

The animal’south identity and the beast’s number are usually interpreted by applying 1 of three methods:[nineteen]

: 718

  1. Using gematria to find the numbers that equate to the names of globe leaders, to cheque for a match with the scriptural number.
  2. Treating the number of the fauna as a duration of time.
  3. Linking the scriptural imagery and symbolism of the Antichrist with characteristics of world leaders who oppose Christianity.

Identification by gematria

[edit]

In Greek isopsephy and Hebrew gematria, every alphabetic character has a corresponding numeric value. Summing these numbers gives a numeric value to a word or name. The use of isopsephy to calculate “the number of the beast” is used in many of the below interpretations.

Nero

[edit]

Preterist theologians typically support the interpretation that 666 is the numerical equivalent of the name and title Nero Caesar (Roman Emperor 54–68 AD).[20]
[21]
[22]
[23]
[24]
[25]
[26]
Written in Aramaic, this can exist valued at 666 using the Hebrew numerology of gematria, and was used to secretly speak against the emperor.[

Additionally, “Nero Caesar” in the Hebrew alphabet is

נרון קסר

NRON QSR, which when interpreted numerically represents the numbers l 200 vi 50 100 60 200, which add together up to 666.

The Greek term

χάραγμα

(charagma, “mark” in Revelation 13:16) was most unremarkably used for imprints on documents or coins. Charagma is well attested to accept been an regal seal of the Roman Empire used on official documents during the 1st and 2d centuries.[27]
In the reign of Emperor Decius (249–251 Advertizement), those who did not possess the document of sacrifice (
libellus
) to Caesar could non pursue trades, a prohibition that conceivably goes back to Nero, reminding 1 of Revelation 13:17.[28]

Preterists argue that Revelation was written before the destruction of the Temple, with Nero exiling John to Patmos.[29]
Most scholars, yet, argue it was written after Nero committed suicide in Ad 68.
Our Dominicus Visitor’s Catholic Encyclopedia
has noted that Revelation was “written during the latter role of the reign of the Roman Emperor Domitian, probably in A.D. 95 or 96”.[30]Additional Protestant scholars are in agreement.[a]

Because some people believe Revelation 13 speaks of a time to come prophetic event, “All who dwell on the globe
will
worship him, whose names accept not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the globe.” (Revelation thirteen:8 NKJV), some accept argued that the interpretation of Nero meeting the fulfillment is an impossibility if Revelation was written around 30 years
afterward
the death of Nero.[b]
[33]
[34]
Withal, rumors circulated that Nero had not really died and would return to power.[35]

It has also been suggested that the numerical reference to Nero was a lawmaking to imply merely not directly identify emperor Domitian,[36]
[37]
whose way of rulership resembled that of Nero, who heavily taxed the people of Asia (Lydia), to whom the Book of Revelation was primarily addressed.[38]
The popular Nero Redivivus legend stating that Nero would return to life can also be noted; “After Nero’southward suicide in Advertizement 68, there was a widespread belief, especially in the eastern provinces, that he was not dead and somehow would render.[39]
Suetonius (Xl) relates how court astrologers had predicted Nero’s fall but that he would have power in the due east. And, indeed, at to the lowest degree three false claimants did nowadays themselves as Nero
redivivus
(resurrected).[40]

An Aramaic ringlet from Wadi Murabba’at, dated to “the second yr of Emperor Nero”, refers to him past his proper noun and title.[41]
In Hebrew it is
Nron Qsr
(pronounced “Nerōn Kaisar”). In Latin information technology is
Nro Qsr
(pronounced “Nerō Kaisar”).

Nron Qsr

The Greek version of the name and championship transliterates into Hebrew as

נרון קסר
, and yields a numerical value of 666,[41]
as shown:

Muhammad

[edit]

Gematria has likewise been used with the word
Maometis
(Aboriginal Greek:
Μαομέτις); which scholars have described as a dubiously obscure Latinisation of a Greek transliteration of the Arabic proper name
محمد
(Muhammad). A leading proponent of the Maometis interpretation was Walmesley, the Roman Cosmic bishop of Rama.[42]
Other proponents include sixteen–17th century Catholic theologians Gilbert Genebrard, François Feuardent, and René Massuet.[43]
Maometis in Greek numerals totals 666:



Μ

μ



ε



τ

ς

Sum
40 1 70 forty v 300 10 200 666

Thom (1923)[44]
rejects “Maometis” as a valid translation, observing that

“of the seven different ways in which Muhammad’due south name is written in Euthymius and [past] the Byzantine historians, non
one
is the orthography in question”.

None of the spellings actually used add up to 666 under Greek gematria.[44]

Setton (1992) is critical of the idea: Muhammad was frequently defamed and made a subject of
legends, taught past preachers as
fact.[45]

: 1–five

For example, in social club to show that Muhammad was the anti-Christ, it was asserted that Muhammad died non in the year 632 but in the year 666. In another variation on the theme the number “666” was also used to represent the catamenia of fourth dimension Muslims would hold sway of the land.[45]

: iv–15

In
Quia maior, the encyclical calling for the Fifth Crusade, Euthymius Zygabenus and Zonaras wrote the name as “Maometh” and Cedrenus wrote the name “Mouchoumet” none of which is the “Maometis” in question.

King of Israel

[edit]

Fr. Sloet of Holland proposed the title of Antichrist as king of Israel.[46]
He wrote that, “The Jews take ever looked forwards to the Messiah every bit a dandy leader to restore the kingdom of Israel. They rejected Jesus because He did not fulfill this expectation… He will be king of a restored State of israel, not simply king, simply the king par excellence. In Hebrew this thought could exist expressed by the words (hammelek l’Yisrael), which have the requisite numerical value of 666; but in order to obtain this number kaph medial (כ) must be used in melek (king) instead of kaph last (ך‎).”[47]

Mark of the brute

[edit]

 64–66

The Classical Greek word

charagma

(
χάραγμα
), translated every bit
mark
(of the beast) in Revelation xiii:16 can also mean
any mark engraved,
imprinted, or
branded;
stamped money,
certificate, or
money.[48]
[49]

The marking of the beast is interpreted differently across the four main views of Christian eschatology.

Preterist view

[edit]

A common preterist view of the Mark of the beast (focusing on the past) is the stamped paradigm of the emperor’south head on every coin of the Roman Empire: the postage on the hand or in the mind of all, without which no one could purchase or sell.[50]
New Testament scholar C.C. Loma notes, “It is far more probable that the marker symbolizes the all-embracing economic power of Rome, whose very coinage bore the emperor’s image and conveyed his claims to divinity (e.m., by including the dominicus’southward rays in the ruler’s portrait). It had get increasingly difficult for Christians to part in a world in which public life, including the economic life of the trade guilds, required participation in idolatry.”[51]

Adela Yarbro Collins further denotes that the refusal to use Roman coins resulted in the condition where “no homo might purchase or sell”.[52]
[53]
A similar view is offered past Craig R. Koester. “As sales were fabricated, people used coins that bore the images of Rome’s gods and emperors. Thus each transaction that used such coins was a reminder that people were advancing themselves economically past relying on political powers that did not recognize the true God.”[54]

In 66 AD, when Nero was emperor—about the time some scholars say Revelation was written—the Jews revolted against Rome and coined their own money.

The passage is also seen every bit an antithetical parallelism to the Jewish institution of
tefillin—Hebrew Bible texts worn bound to the arm and the forehead during daily prayer. Instead of binding their allegiance to God to their arm and head, the place is instead taken with people’due south allegiance to the animate being.[50]

Idealist view

[edit]

Idealism, also known as the emblematic or symbolic approach, is an interpretation of the book of Revelation that sees the imagery of the volume as non-literal symbols.[55]

The idealist perspective on the number of the beast rejects gematria, envisioning the number not every bit a code to be cleaved, but a symbol to be understood. Idealists would contend that considering there are so many names that can come to 666 and that virtually systems require converting names to other languages or calculation titles when user-friendly, it has been impossible to come to a consensus.

Given that numbers are used figuratively throughout the Book of Revelation, idealists translate this number figuratively also. The common suggestion is that because 7 is a number of “abyss” and is associated with the divine, six is “incomplete”, and the 3 sixes are “inherently incomplete”.[19]

: 722

The number is therefore suggestive that the Dragon and his beasts are profoundly deficient.

Historicist view

[edit]

Historicists believe Revelation articulates a full range of the history of the Christian church, from John’s twenty-four hours to the Second Coming of Christ. The writer alludes to Daniel 2:28 and ii:45; Daniel’south vision (Daniel 2) uses symbols giving a sequence of future events in history, from the Babylonian empire, through Medo-Western farsi period, Greece and Rome, continuing until the end of the current civilization.

The Augsburg confession given to Charles Five in its 28th commodity stated “They likewise cite that the Sabbath has been changed to Lord’s day contrary to the X Commandments, as they see it, and no case is hyped and cited so much as the changing of the Sabbath, and they thereby wish to preserve the great authority of the church, since it has dispensed with the Ten Commandments and altered something in them.”[56]
Rome was identified equally the footling horn power that changed times and laws (Daniel 7:25). Some protestants such equally the London minister Thomas Tillam and court physician Peter Chamberlen during the reformation began to place Sunday worship equally the Marker of the Animal.[57]
[58]

This apocalyptic volume builds on Daniel’s approach focusing on major points of Christian history: the cross of Christ (Rev. 5:six,9,12); the Second Coming (Rev. 14:14–xvi; xix:eleven–sixteen); the i,000 years in heaven (Rev. xx:4–half-dozen); the third advent of Christ to earth along with his loyal followers and the destruction of Satan and those who refused Christ (Rev. xx:seven–15); and the cosmos of a new heavens and a new earth where decease, sorrow, and sin cease and God dwells with His people (Rev. 21:i–8, 21:22–27; 22:i–5). The Book of Daniel is divided into two parts: The historical narrative of the captivity of Judah, and the prophecies pointing to both promised Messiah and the events of the cease of the world. Attention to the text of Revelation aids the student of Bible prophecy by showing how the Apostle John and Jesus intended us to interpret Bible apocalyptic literature as found in Daniel.[59]

Seventh-24-hour interval Adventists taking this view believe that the ‘marking of the animal’ (but not the number 666) refers to a future, universal, legally enforced Sunday-sacredness. “Those who reject God’south memorial of creatorship—the Bible Sabbath—choosing to worship and honor Sunday in the full noesis that it is non God’s appointed 24-hour interval of worship, volition receive the ‘mark of the beast’.”[60]
“The Lord’s day Sabbath is purely a child of the Papacy. It is the mark of the creature.”[61]

Futurist view

[edit]

Some[
which?
]

fundamentalist Christian groups, likewise as diverse[
who?
]

Christian writers in other[
which?
]

traditions, translate the marker every bit a requirement for all commerce to hateful that the mark might really be an object in the correct hand or forehead with the function of a credit card, such every bit RFID microchip implants.[62]
Some[
which?
]

of these groups believe the implantation of chips may be the imprinting of the mark of the creature, prophesied to be a requirement for all merchandise and a forerunner to God’south wrath.[63]
[64]
Like objections were raised about barcodes upon their introduction.[65]

Numerical significance

[edit]


Baháʼí Faith

[edit]

In the writings of the Baháʼí Faith, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá states that the numerical value given to the beast referred to the yr[66]
when the Umayyad ruler Muawiyah I took office every bit Caliph in 661 Advertizement. He opposed the Imamate, co-ordinate to the beliefs of Shia Islam, who continued to pay the tax required of nonbelievers and were excluded from government and the military, and thus diameter a social “mark”.[67]
(See also the scholarly accepted year of birth of Jesus about 666 years before every bit well equally the concept of Mawali who were non-Arab Muslims but not treated as other Muslims.)


Jehovah’s Witnesses

[edit]

Jehovah’south Witnesses believe that the beast identified past the number 666 represents the world’southward unified governments in opposition to God. The fauna is said to have “a human number” in that the represented governments are of a human origin rather than spirit entities. The number 666 is said to place “gross shortcoming and failure in the eyes of Jehovah”, in contrast to the number vii, which is seen equally symbolizing perfection.[68]




Fearfulness and superstition


[edit]

The fear of 666 (six hundred threescore-six) as the number of the animate being is called
hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia. Variant phobias are called
hexakosioihekkaidekaphobia, which is the fear of 616 (six hundred sixteen), and
hexaphobia, which is the fear of six (six). Known cases of these fears include:

  • In 1989, Nancy and Ronald Reagan, when moving to their abode in the Bel-Air department of Los Angeles after the 1988 election, had its accost—666 St. Cloud Road—inverse to 668 St. Cloud Road.[69]
    [seventy]
  • In 1988, the accost of Chicago’south American Furniture Mart building was inverse by its new owner from 666 to 680 N Lake Shore Drive, ostensibly to altitude the new tenancy from the former owners’ fiscal issues.
  • In 2003, U.S. Route 666 in New Mexico was inverse to U.S. Route 491. A New Mexico spokesperson stated, “The devil’s out of here, and we say goodbye and good riddance.”[71]
  • The phobia has been a motif in diverse horror films such as
    The Omen
    and its 2006 remake (released on 6/6/06), and in music albums such every bit Iron Maiden’s
    The Number of the Beast. The number of the creature also appears in films such as
    Pulp Fiction,
    The Doom Generation,
    End of Days,
    Final Destination,
    Bedazzled, and
    The Phantom of the Opera.
  • Some women expressed business nigh giving nascency on June 6, 2006 (6/6/06).[72]
  • In November 2013, Codie Thacker—a cross-country runner at Whitley County High Schoolhouse in Williamsburg, Kentucky—refused to run in her Kentucky High School Athletic Association regional meet, forfeiting a chance at qualifying for the state championships, when her jitney drew bib number 666.[73]
  • In 2015, US Representative Joe Barton had the number of a legislative neb he had introduced changed from 666 to 702 because “the original neb number carried many different negative connotations”, co-ordinate to a spokesperson.[74]
  • In 2017, church leaders in Papua New Guinea were concerned past newspaper reports that the Governor-Full general had been requested to sign 666 writs for an upcoming election. They were reassured by the Electoral Commissioner that the number simply reflected 6 copies of each writ for 111 electorates.[75]
  • In October 2017, flying AY666 from Copenhagen to Helsinki (HEL) departed for the concluding time earlier being renamed to AY954. Since 2006, the flight had been scheduled on a Fri the 13th on 21 occasions. A Finnair spokesperson said that the number had non been renamed due to superstitious passengers.[76]
  • In 2021, Brookfield Properties decided to renumber 666 Fifth Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, which it had just acquired and planned to spend $400 1000000 renovating, to 660 Fifth Artery.[77]
  • During the COVID-nineteen pandemic, some groups associated COVID-xix vaccines and mask wearing with the mark of the animate being, or that information technology was a microchip in the vaccine.[78]
    Some religious leaders spoke out confronting this misinformation,[79]
    every bit did medical institutions such as Hennepin County Medical Heart.[fourscore]
    A similar version was spread by Marjorie Taylor Greene, who referred to vaccine passports as being the mark of the animate being.[81]
