![]() What evidence from the Scriptures is there that the number 666 has anything whatsoever to do with 21st century politics? The false claim you are encountering is just another example of men ignoring what the book of Revelation itself says about its own prophecies and asserting a meaning they want it to have. Are we to believe that, while a vision to be fulfilled in 400 years must be sealed up because it is so far in the future, one that is to be fulfilled about 1916 years after it was revealed was not to be sealed, because the time was “at hand”? In contrast, when Daniel was shown a vision pertaining to the kingdoms of Persia and Greece (Macedonia, that of Alexander the Great and his successors, Daniel 8:20-22), a period of around 400 years, the angel commanded Daniel, “Therefore seal up the vision, for it refers to many days in the future” (Daniel 8:26). ![]() The angel who revealed the message to John commanded him, “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand” (Revelation 2:10). I do not see how a message about the President of the United States, a nation which did not even exist until almost 1700 years after John wrote Revelation, would encourage first century Christians in the Roman Empire to faithfulness.įurthermore, the inspired apostle states seven times that the primary prophecies of the book were to be fulfilled soon after he wrote (Revelation 1:1, 3 3:11 22:6-7 10, 12, 20). John wrote for the purpose of encouraging them to be faithful to Christ despite the severe persecution they were about to endure (Revelation 2:10 14:12-13). The book was addressed to seven congregations in the Roman province of Asia (part of modern Turkey) that existed at the time John the apostle wrote the book (Revelation 2:1, 8, 12, 18 3:1, 7, 14). I expect it in this months meditate on these things. So please comment elaborately on the number “666” mark of the beast (Rev. That the number “666” is no literal rather figurative which refers to evils and wickedness of Catholicism at the early days of Christianity. ![]() However I explained to my friend that it is all false alarm. ![]() That it starts from America and spread to other parts of the world, because all world leaders including my country Nigeria President are in the same evil society. That only those with the mark 666 on their forehead will access health care. Explaining further, the writer said the bill is a health bill will come into effect in 2013.

It is popularly known as the “mark of the beast” Pentecostal preachers interpret the passage verses 17 & 18 literally, and frighten their members that the mark is literal and is even happening or fulfilling now. The number “666” in verse 18 is in focus. I wish many brethren will read and learn from the wise counsel advice on the issue which has become rampant even within the brotherhood in Christ.īro.
