NUMBER OF THE BEAST

The number of the Beast is "six hundred threescore and six, Rev. 13:18. This can only be rendered to 666:

Greek symbol
Greek character name
Value
six hundred
Chi
600
threescore
Xi
(3*20)=
 60
six
Stigma
6
666

But if this isn't enough proof, here is the meaning of the number 666:

Sixth vial - Rev. 16:2 KJV
Sixth seal - Rev. 6:12 KJV
Sixth trump - Rev. 9:13 KJV

Note: The vials, seals and trumps do not need to be in order until the seventh.

If you look up the references listed above in your KJV Bible you will notice that Rev. 9:13 doesn't say "Trump" but if you look up "sounded #4537Gr " in the Greek dictionary of the Concordance you will find the meaning of sounded is "a trumpet."

This is a section of the original Greek manuscript with the English translation and strong's number. Again, 666 is supported, not 616. (From the Green's Interlinear Bible)

By matching the Greek letters on the Manuscript above (in yellow) against the symbols in the chart below you too will arrive at 666.
