Now why begin in Revelation chapter 13?
Why begin in Revelation chapter 13?
Can you turn it on please?
Revelation chapter 13, well Revelation chapter 13
is one of the most cryptic numbers in the Bible
that has puzzled Christians for years, okay?
And look what it says in verse 18.
It says, 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 three score and six.
Now let me just say it right off the bat, okay?
That I know exactly what this means.
No, I don't.
I don't know what it means.
And in fact, I don't think anybody can fully know
what this number means.
I think we could surmise.
I think we can speculate and we can compare
with different scriptures in the Old Testament
and come up with our speculation
or what we think it might be,
but we won't know for sure what it is.
And in my opinion, I don't think we're gonna know
what six hundred three score and six is
until the last 75 days of great tribulation, okay?
The beginning of those 75 days, excuse me.
You know, I believe that's gonna, at that point,
we will have understanding of what the significance
of that number really is.
Now go to Genesis chapter one, if you would.
Go to Genesis chapter one.
Now I'll give you my opinion, but this is not concrete.
This is not, I'm not saying that this is what it is for sure.
You know, you've often heard that six is the number of man.
I'm sure people have heard that before.
And they get it from Revelation 13 verse 18
where it says that here is the number of a man
referring to the antichrist.
You say, yeah, well then six is not the number of man
because three score and six is the number of a man.
Those are two different things.
Well, here's what I believe
that this is actually referring to, okay?
Let's look at Genesis chapter one in verse 26.
It says, and God said, let us make man in our image
after our likeness and let them have dominion
over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air
and over the cattle and over all the earth
and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God created he him,
male and female created he them.
Skip down to verse 30, and to every beast of the earth
and to every fowl of the air and to every thing
that creepeth upon the earth wherein there is light,
I have given every green herb for meat
and it will sow.
And God saw everything that he had made
and behold, it was very good.
And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
So it's actually biblical to say that six is the number
of man because of the fact that he was created
on the sixth day, okay?
He said, what does that have to do with 603 score and six?
Well, if man is created on the sixth day
and on the sixth day is given dominion over all the earth,
well, in the end times, you're gonna have a man
known as the antichrist who is represented by 603 score
and six who is given dominion over what?
One world financial currency, one world religion,
one world government, 603 score and six.
But that's as far as we're gonna get with that.
That's what I believe it potentially could mean
is that this is a man represented by six
having dominion over all the earth in the end times, okay?
But again, we don't know, okay?
We don't know what this means.
And the reason I wanna start off with that scripture
is because it's probably one of the most cryptic scriptures
and just to show us that not all numbers have meaning
or even the numbers that are found in the Bible,
are we gonna know what they mean exactly, okay?
