WHAT IS THE MARK OF THE BEAST AND WHAT DOES 666 MEAN?
First of all let’s identify who the beast is and his system? In Revelation 13:1 he (John) tells us “and I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.” Now go to Revelation 17:7-15 for the explanation. The seven heads are seven kings/kingdoms or nations throughout time, In Daniel 2:31-45 he declares five of the kingdoms. The seas or waters are peoples and nations, Revelation 17:15. I will give the kingdoms to you in order: 1. Nebuchadnezzer is the first king/kingdom or nation he was the king of Babylon (modern day Iraq). 2. The second was Medo-Persia (modern day Iran or the Persians under King Cyrus). 3. The third was Greece (Alexander the great). 4. The fourth was Rome 30 B.C.- 636 A.D., 666 years Rome held power (ironic). 5. The fifth was the Mohammedan (Mohammed/Muslim), Islam began in 636 a.d. and on May 15th, 1948 Israel became a nation and the Generation of the Fig Tree began. 6
