666&888

Spirit, we have no answer that can affect our lives. The entrance of his word gives light. Let us wait on him that we may receive it. Postscript
Finally we will consider an interesting fact: W is the 6th letter of the Hebrew alphabet. In other words W represents the number 6. So how do you His number is 666.”
write 666 in Hebrew? You’ve guessed it! WWW! WWW or the Worldwide Web is a massive amalgamation of man’s wisdom and knowledge on every imaginable subject, good, bad and neutral. With a few clicks of a mouse you can find information on just about any topic you choose. We have access to an almost infinite source of human knowledge. We find something similar in scripture. Peter said to Jesus, “You know everything” (John 21: 17). John was present at the time and overheard this and he wrote similar words in his letter: “You have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know everything” (1 John 2: 20). Neither Jesus, nor the readers of John’s letter were users of the Internet. Their source of knowledge was not 666, but 888. They had the mind of This and other writings available from:

are part of family life and church life. Yet worse we can find their source in our own hearts. Jesus was and is completely different. Everything he said and did was totally true. He himself was and is the truth. The Holy Spirit is the spirit of truth. Satan on the other hand is described as the father of lies. What is the greatest lie? I believe the greatest lie is false witness about God. Jesus is described as the faithful and true witness. He was and is the perfect representation and description of God. Not only did he speak the truth, but he was the truth. The Pharisees, by contrast, were the ultimate false witnesses. They spoke of God and taught people about God, but their lives totally denied him. Man’s religion today - modern Babylon - is the same. Its claim to represent God is the ultimate lie and the ultimate defamation of God’s character. It is sinful and wrong to tell lies about natural things, and even there we must cultivate an attitude of truthfulness. It is much worse to tell spiritual lies, by being false witnesses to God. Much of what has called itself the church down the centuries has been one great lie. It has claimed to be God’s representation on earth, and the man in the street has believed it. When he thinks of God, he thinks of what he has seen and heard of and knows from the church. The 144,000 will be wholly different from what we have known as the church. Like Jesus they will be faithful and true witnesses, in whose mouths and in whose lives there will be no lie. The world now is hungry to meet Conclusion
In this study we have looked at two kinds of people. We may call them the 666 people and the 888 people. The 666 people live their lives without God, wholly according to adamic fallen human nature. In doing this, willingly or unwillingly, they are in Satan’s grip. The 888 people are a total contrast. They follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They are wholly led by the Spirit and have entered the fullness of sonship. They have been redeemed Can we be among those 144,000? Is such a level of perfection possible? Can we obey the command of Jesus to “be perfect even as your Heavenly Father is perfect?” Did John’s visions on the island of Patmos really come from God? Human words are inadequate to answer these questions. Unless we have an answer from God deep in our hearts by the revelation of the Holy These are the women with whom the 144,000 will not be defiled. They will be utterly free from the contamination of Jezebel and of Babylon. They will have understood by the revelation of God the nature and meaning of Most people know that 666 is the number of the beast. Who or what the “Mystery Babylon” and from the heart they will have obeyed the injunction, beast is, or why he should have a number is less certain ground. “Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues”. Not many people will have heard of 888. Surprisingly 888 occurs in the Bible verse immediately following the one containing 666. However it is The meaning of this is clarified by the second and deeply significant hidden in the verse rather than clearly stated, as I will be explaining later. statement of verse 4: “They follow the Lamb wherever he goes.” Jesus himself was totally outside the Babylon of his day. He had no part in its The Scriptures are inspired by the Holy Spirit, and without the help of corrupt manmade religious systems. Like him instead, they will be wholly the Holy Spirit we can only understand them at the superficial level of the natural mind. We can understand their moral teaching and enjoy their stories and poetry, but we are in darkness as to their spiritual meaning. What does it mean to follow the Lamb wherever he goes? Where did Jesus go? On this earth he went from conception (by the word of God) to Some things in Scripture are specifically described as mysteries. In birth. He went on through childhood and adolescence to manhood. He trod various places in the New Testament we find such statements as “He that has the path of obedience, rejection, suffering and death. He rose in victory from ears let him hear”, or “Let him that reads understand” or “Behold, I show you the grave and was exalted to the right hand of God. That in summary was the a mystery”. Revelation 13:18 (quoted on the front of this paper) begins with pathway of the Lamb of God. That also is the pathway of those who follow the words “This is wisdom.” Such phrases indicate something hidden, which him wherever he goes. Nothing can be omitted. we must search out by prayerful study in dependence on the Holy Spirit. Our topic of 666 and 888 is in that category. Those who follow him must also be conceived and born by the word of God. They also must pass through childhood and adolescence to maturity. To understand Revelation 13:18, we will need to study the preceding They also must experience rejection, suffering and death in their walk of verses. Most people would do this naturally here, as they are dramatic, and obedience. For most this will not be a physical death, but a death experience. obviously part of the same topic. We will also need to study the verses They also, if they suffer with him, will reign with him. They will be offered following. Many people would not do this here, because they are in the next as firstfruits to God and the Lamb, just as he was offered as the first of the chapter, and at first sight don’t appear to have any special connection. It is the verses following in chapter 14 that hold the key to understanding the number of the beast. Many thousands of people were touched and blessed by Jesus in the brief three years of his ministry on earth. Only twelve were with him all the We will also need some knowledge of the subject of Bible numerics, time and followed him wherever he went. The 144,000 are also a small without which it is impossible to understand the significance of 666 or 888. minority made up of those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. Beyond them, as described in chapter 7 of Revelation, there will be a great multitude wearing white robes and standing before the throne of God. Bible Numerics
Numbers in the Bible have significance. Seven, for example, is v5 No lie was found in their mouths; they are

associated with rebellion and Satan. Six is particularly the number of man The final characteristics of the 144,000 are their truthfulness and purity. Lying is a way of life that surrounds us. Direct lies, indirect lies, white lies How do we know the meaning or significance of a given number? and black lies are part of politics, business and social life. Worse still they The significance of numbers is established by their use both in Scripture world - is to catch its fish. The fish must then be brought to land. Jesus used and in nature. God created man on the sixth day in the Genesis account, and this picture to describe the initial conversion experience. He said to Peter, “I on the seventh day he rested from his works. He appointed 6 days for man’s will make you fishers of men”. The disciples were to bring people from the labour. After 600 years Noah, whose name means “Rest”, ceased from work and entered the ark. These, and other scriptures, make 6 the number of man The book of Revelation clearly distinguishes between those who dwell and of man’s works apart from God. The seventh day is the Lord’s day. The on earth and those who dwell in heaven: “Therefore rejoice, you heavens and Bible, especially the book of Revelation, is heavily patterned on the number you who dwell in them! But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil 7. This indicates that 7 is the number of God. has gone down to you! He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time The meanings of numbers are further illustrated and established by the is short.” The first part of this verse does not refer to those who have “died study of “Gematria” or the numeric values of words. The Greeks and and gone to heaven”, but to those who are seated with Christ in heavenly Hebrews did not have separate symbols, such as 1, 2 and 3, for numbers like places. Heaven in the New Testament is a present reality rather than a future we do. Instead, like the Romans, they used the letters of their alphabets. In home. It is the realm of the spirit. Different terminology is used for what Greek alpha represents 1 and beta 2 and so on up to iota, which is 10. After happens after we die. Paul, for example, speaks of departing and being with that kappa is 20, lambda 30 and so on up to ro, which is 100. Sigma is 200, Christ, but not of going to heaven. Jesus speaks of “going to the Father”. tau 300 and so on up to omega, which is 800.

They no longer belong to the world and its systems, but to the word or name, and add them up to get a total value for the word. That value heavenly realm. The fullness of redemption has been outworked in them, and is called the gematria.

The servants of God must be pure and above reproach in all such matters. Over the centuries much time has been given to the study of numbers. However this should go without being said. Also if this is the only meaning Both men of God and students of the occult have been involved. The number of this verse it appears to be a message for the male sex only, presumably 666 has excited much interest and the 153 fishes caught in the net have with women excluded from the ranks of the 144,000! probably had more than 153 different explanations. An excellent book on the subject, “Number in Scripture” by Ethelbert Bullinger was written at the end What I believe is in mind here is the deeper question of spiritual purity. of the 19th century. His grasp of Scripture and Hebrew and Greek was The book of Revelation speaks of two women, both of whom probably scholarly. His ideas of science are of course not up-to-date now. However the represent the same thing.

The voice of so don’t worry if you feel they aren’t for you. However, I believe some the 144,000 is like music. Not everyone has the ability to make music. Only knowledge of the subject is necessary for anyone who wants to understand those who have a natural gift. Also no one can make good music without the book of Revelation. This is especially true for those wanting to training. Babies do not make opera singers! A musician must first learn to understand the meaning of 666, the number of the beast and its contrast with listen before he can play. He must learn to recognise major and minor scales and sound combinations and rhythms. He must then discipline his hands or his voice to reproduce those sounds. It all takes a lot of time and training as The Mark of the Beast
We read about the mark of the Beast in the two verses before the verse The result is twofold. Music can give great pleasure. It can be very quoted on the front of this booklet. “He also forced everyone, small and beautiful. It also is a form of communication. It can impart a message. great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on The voice of the 144,000 will be like music.

They will be trained by long discipline to reproduce that voice. These verses have given rise to a lot of thought and speculation.

Those who are only taught by man all speak the same there are 8 bits to a byte, and computers are generally built around 2s and 8s message, but are out of time and out of tune with each other. They have no real unity. Those who, like the 144,000, are taught by God have a wonderful This literal view of Revelation chapter 13 clashes with chapter 14 verse diversity and yet perfectly blend together. They are one in the spirit. 1: “Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb, standing on Mount v3 And they sang a new song before the throne

of Jesus must be written electronically on the foreheads of the 144,000. I have never heard anyone suggest that that is what is going to happen. People sing songs to express or describe an experience. People who know little or nothing of the experience will not be able to relate to the song. Can a physical mark somehow inscribed on our bodies really make us The distinctive experience of the 144,000 is that they have been redeemed pleasing or displeasing to God? I don’t think so. It is what goes on inside the forehead that really matters. Inside you can have one of two different kinds of mind. You can have the mind of the beast, or animal, to use the normal The earth is the realm of the natural man. It contrasts with heaven, modern English word; or you can have the mind of Christ. Both minds are which is the realm of God and of the spirit. The book of Revelation refers mentioned in scripture and we will now consider each in turn. frequently to three spheres: the heavens, the earth and the sea. The sea is barren and profitless. You cannot cultivate it or build on it or control it in any way. The only useful thing you can do with it - at least in the ancient The Mind of the Beast
undergone the necessary training and preparation. Their minds have been changed from 666 to 888. In Daniel chapter 4 verse 16, we read: “Let his mind be changed from I believe the number 144,000 should not be taken literally (as the Jeho- that of a man and let him be given the mind of an animal, till seven times vah’s Witnesses do). We should not expect that there will be exactly 144,000 pass by for him.” Who was this man? Nebuchadnezzar, the great king and people standing on a literal Mount Zion, or belonging to some human rebuilder of Babylon, was one of the most powerful men in ancient history. organisation. Rather we should again consider the meaning of the number. In the pages of the Bible there are two great rival cities. We first hear of These 144,000 are 12,000 out of each of the 12 tribes of Israel. As well as Babylon under its Hebrew name Babel in the well known story of Genesis there being 12 tribes, Jesus chose 12 disciples. Also the new Jerusalem in chapter 11. It becomes prominent later in Old Testament history. Jerusalem is chapter 20 has 12 foundations and 12 gates. Israel, the disciples, and the city first mentioned in the book of Joshua, but is not important till the time of of Jerusalem were all especially chosen by God. Bullinger says that 12 is the King David. He captures it from the Jebusites and makes it his capital. From number of governmental perfection. I believe that the number 144,000 means then on it is prominent throughout scripture, and is seldom long out of the a large company of those whom God has chosen to reign with Christ. news today.

are full of deep spiritual significance. The first great deliverance of scripture was from Egypt. The second was from Babylon. All God’s people Israel In this verse we find three suggestive descriptions of the sound (or came out of Egypt. Only a minority of them returned from Babylon. voice) of the 144,000. Firstly it is like the sound of many waters. The same description is used of the voice of God in Ezekiel 43:2, and of the Son of What do these two countries represent? Every Bible reader knows the Man in Revelation 1:15. Water means life. Many waters means abundant life. story of Moses and the exodus from Egypt, the ten plagues, the first Neither man, nor animal, nor plant can live without water. The 144,000 will Passover, the destruction of the Egyptians in the Red Sea and the bringing to possess abundant spiritual life in themselves. They will impart this spiritual birth of God’s people Israel. Everyone has at least a basic knowledge that life to others. Jesus said, “I have come that they may have life, and have it Jesus is the new Passover Lamb who has brought us out of a spiritual Egypt more abundantly.” The words that he spoke were “spirit and life”. The and created us as a new spiritual people. 144,000 will be like him. The words that they speak will bring life to those that hear. This is true already to some extent of those who are following The deliverance from Babylon is less familiar. Babylon was the great Jesus, but the time is coming when it will be true in fullness. It will be true in home of false religion. The essence of false religion is that it is based on man a far greater measure than we have yet seen it. and man’s works. It has no real reference to God. It promotes and exalts man. Secondly their sound is like loud thunder. Thunder suggests authority Nebuchadnezzar was king of Babylon when the Jews were there in and power. The voice of God at Sinai was accompanied by thunder when he captivity. Chapter four of Daniel describes Nebuchadnezzar’s fall and announced the most authoritative revelation that man has ever been privi- restoration in his own words. His troubles began when he proudly said: “Is leged to receive.

The 144,000 will, like Moses, be power and for the glory of my majesty?” These words echo those of the first backed by the authority of God. They will not be new recruits to God’s army. builders of Babel centuries before as they built their tower in total They will be those whom God has trained and prepared and purified and independence of and disregard for God. “Come, let us build ourselves a city,” made ready to receive his authority. They will be wholly qualified by their they said, “with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth.” They also have the same spirit as the builders of countless spiritual babels from that day to this. The Mind of Christ
No sooner were these words out of Nebuchadnezzar’s mouth than judgment fell. In the words of scripture, “He was driven away from people We have considered the mind of the beast, and can now move to the and ate grass like cattle. His body was drenched with the dew of heaven until happier task of considering the mind of Christ.

We are first introduced to them in of a man and let him be given the mind of an animal”, were fulfilled. chapter 7 where they are described as 12,000 out of each of the tribes of An animal (a beast) can have no idea of God.

His What a remarkable contrast between this and the preceding verse! The fate was more drastic in that rather than just receiving the mind of a beast for mind of the beast is represented by the number (666) of a name. The mind of 7 years, his head was cut off altogether! Christ is represented by a name that has a number (888). Numbers are impersonal things, well-suited to computers, but unnatural to humans! If you We might have expected a number related to 13 rather than 6 to be the have the mind of the beast, you are only a number. No doubt you will be part number of the beast, as 13 is more associated with Satan whereas 6 is the of someone’s statistics. If you have the mind of Christ, you have a name. number of man. A well known incident from the gospels helps us understand. You have become a person and an individual in the sight of God.

Any system or any life that gives no place to God is actually meaning churches from the west pour in money to “spread the gospel” and controlled by Satan, because he is the prince of this world. support the “work of God”. Direct and less direct lies are told to keep the money flowing. Buying and Selling
I don’t believe the real work of God has ever suffered from lack of funds! God never starts a building project that he has not got the finances to Now we must consider Revelation 13 verse 17, “No-one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.” When anyone, openly or in a more hidden manner, uses the things of God to build up his own position, reputation or bank balance, he is, in the We immediately wonder how we are going to survive if we take this verse literally. Where will we get our food? Will God do the same sort of miracles for us that he did for Elijah? Chapter 18 of Revelation describes the fall of Babylon. In verse 3 we read: “For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries. When these words were first written, I don’t believe they would have The kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the struck terror into the hearts of those who read them. In agricultural societies earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries.” The chapter goes on to describe most people produce their own food and even clothes. People did not need to the immorality of the kings of the earth and the massive wealth of the merchants of the earth, and their great sorrow at the fall of Babylon. I cannot say for certain that this verse will not have a literal, physical In Bible times money did not have the same implications as it does fulfilment. However I believe we do better to look for its spiritual meaning. now. In these days certainly in western society people cannot live without The beast of verse 17 is the beast that came up out of the earth (as we money.

They pass the book of Revelation as a prostitute. The sexual act is an act of deep and it on as if it were their own. They use it to build up their own reputation and intimate communion between husband and wife. It pictures the communion status. Such people are marked with the number 666. They buy and sell in we should have with God.

In The way of God is very different.
