The Scriptures is full of codes which have been placed for human identification and gain. The problem often is that man does not always have the resources to unlock these codes. While acquisition of the keys to these codes is within human grasp, most men have not disposed themselves to seeking the truth of the Lord God and getting the corresponding benefit that is promised man. Much of the time, we read the genealogies of Bible characters with the lethargy of reading a very uninteresting subject. Much of the time we glance past many of these, convinced there is nothing relevant in them for the modern man. However, there is a lot to learn and to uncover in the Bible. Some of the greatest secrets and the most sought after secrets are actually cached in the supposed boring genealogies. The Scriptures is replete with numbers. Often, these numbers have overwhelming value and significance. One number that has continued to hold a mysterious grip on many, and defy explication is the number 666. There can be no doubt that numbers in the Scriptures need to be studied. Numbers are signs. A survey of signs of the Lord, easily reveal that most signs of the Lord God are revealed to the beneficiaries, being almost always the people that the signs are meant for. Thus studying a number or group of numbers should not be limited to scholastic approach. There is a need to incline or dispose oneself to the Lord for the necessary revelation. Anything short of this may lead to conjecture and wrong assumptions, which may not stand rigorous empiricism. The one Book of the Scriptures that holds information relating to the mark of the Beast is the Book of Revelation. The interesting thing about the Book of Revelation as it concerns this number is that it was never supposed to defy interpretation. It is the wisdom of the Lord God that this code be used, and it is also the understanding that the Lord God Himself gives, that can break this code of a number. 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. We can see from verse 18 just above that 666 is the number of a man. This is a bit ambiguous. Most persons have misinterpreted it to be the number of a man´s identification card or credit card. When the Scriptures talks of a man in this case, it is generalizing, meaning generic man, and not a specific person. Thus we can see that the beast is actually human. In actuality, the beast is both spirit and man. It is the product of a fusion of a spirit and a human female. The product is conspicuously a man, but latently a spirit. It is man that has degenerated to a sub human level. The beast does not have the number of a beast or the attributes of a beast, but that of a man. This is because, the beast is actually human. It is redolent of the analogy of defining the Devil as a Serpent. Thus instead of saying Devil, the Scripture also uses Serpent, while we are actually dealing with a being that is not a snake. He is supposed to have been one of the best in Heaven. Serpent is only used in analogy. In the same vein, beast is only a satirical application to a man who has refused to identify with the Lord God. The Devil himself was the first beast; the beast of Eden. He came to the first people like a beast; that is a serpent. That is why he is known as the Serpent. The anti-Christ, being one with the devil comes in the image and spirit of his father, the Devil. That is why he is equally known and addressed as the Beast. The mark of the Beast is not placed on animals but on man. It is a sign which incorporates the numbers of the Living God and the number of the Devil. It is an unholy alliance, which is detested by the Lord God, and cursed. Read this book and understand without the least ambiguity, what the Mark of the Beast is really all about. You shall have your money refunded you if you have a better explanation to this and can prove it.
About the Author: Godfrey Okoro Godfrey is an evangelist who has written quite a number of books of both Christian and secular orientations. His greater inclination is to his Christian publications which he uses to pursue his greatest love - evangelism. Godfrey sees evangelism as the greatest medium to propagate the truth in today's Christianity that is repetitively embracing extraneous ideas. He has held many positions of importance in the church, and has been a member of some church groups. Thus he may be defined as experienced in many matters relating to the church. Yet Godfrey finds this experience insufficient when compared to the time he spends reading the Bible, from which the Lord has been blessing him with remarkable insights. Godfrey was a victim of the influence of erroneous church doctrine, and understands the multi-dimensional negative implications of this. He therefore makes every effort to save his brethren from the snares of church bigotry.
