What is the mark of the beast (666)?
The phrase "the beast" is found 33 times in the New Testament, and it is also found 54 times in 46 verses in the 1611 King James Bible.
Genesis 3:6 "And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food [lust of the flesh], and that it was pleasant to the eyes [lust of the eyes], and a tree to be desired to make one wise [pride of life], she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat."

Compare this idea to:
Revelation 13:16-18 "And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 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." [Note: "Six hundred threescore and six" = 666]
In Genesis 3:6, man took from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil which God had commanded him not to do so. When man turned away from God's commandment to sin against him, his eyes were opened to 3 things:
lust of the flesh;
lust of the eyes; and
pride of life.
These 3 things were the reason why man walked away from God's wisdom and turned unto his own wisdom. The chapter and verse number of Genesis 3:6 bears the pattern of three-6s or 6-6-6. Also count: 1+2+3+...+36 = 666.
There are 3 things in the original sin and they are laid out in their exact order in:
1 John 2:16 "For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world." [Count: 33 words]
Notice there are 33 words in this verse? What about the number 33? Jesus Christ came as the Son of man and he was crucified as the Lamb of God for the sins of the whole world.
Luke 3:23 "Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age..."
From the Bible, we know that the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ happened at the 33rd year of his life on earth. Jesus was crucified on a Passover (Matthew 26:2). The Gospel of John has recorded 3 passovers:
Passover #1 in John 2:13 at the beginning of his ministry,
Passover #2 in John 6:4 at the middle of his ministry, and
Passover #3 in John 11:55 towards the end of his ministry.
The word "Shiloh" which is a reference to Jesus Christ (Genesis 49:10) was also found exactly 33 times in the 1611 King James Bible. The opposite of Jesus Christ is the “man of sin” (2 Thessalonians 2:3) also known as “the beast.”
Daniel 7:23 "Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces."
Revelation 13:8 "And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world."
The whole earth shall worship the beast. There will be a one world religion that unites everyone on earth, regardless of their differences, in worship towards the same god of this world. There will be a one world government which shall devour the whole earth, tread it down, and break it into pieces.
Revelation 13:16-17 "And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name."
The one world government will be a religion above all religions, a lawgiver above all the laws, and a kingdom above all kingdoms, and its powers are such that it will permeate into the personal domains of religion, law, money and politics, effectively enslaving everyone on earth. The one world government will be a religion that is more dangerous than any other, and its followers will blindly accept its doctrines without question, and allowing themselves to be enslaved by its politics.
Revelation 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."
The number of the beast is 666, and it is found 3 times in the King James Bible (1 Kings 10:14; Ezra 2:13; Revelation 13:18). The phrase "the beast" is found 33 times in the New Testament, and it is also found 54 times in 46 verses in the entire King James Bible. The number of the beast is also the number of a man. While 46 is the number of chromosomes in a man, 54 is (3 x 3 x 3) + (3 x 3 x 3) bears the pattern of the number 666.
Revelation 13:15 "And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed."
The ones who will not receive the mark nor worship the image of the beast are those who refuse to bow down to the one world government. Among these people, many will be born again believers who worship the God of Israel, and the false prophet will cause them to be killed. This is the one world religion, and the religion's worshipers will be so accustomed at obeying its laws, that at the instruction of an authority, they will turn on their fellow people without cause. They will obey the government even to their own detriment, and will ultimately be caused to receive a mark in their right hand or in their foreheads.
Genesis 2:16-17 "And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."
In the first book of the Holy Bible (Genesis), God commanded man that he should not take from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Man sinned against God when he took from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and as a result, death came upon man and all of God's creation. That was God's judgment and the first death.
Revelation 14:9-10 "And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:"
In last book of the Holy Bible (Revelation), God again commanded man that he should not receive the mark of the beast, and if any man were to receive a mark in their right hand or in the forehead, then he would be burned in the lake of fire for eternity. That would be the second death.
Both things will bring forth the judgment of death upon man. The tree of the knowledge of good and evil has brought forth the first death, and the mark of the beast will bring forth the second death. Since the fall of man in Genesis 3, he has been working to undo the judgment of God so that he will die no more.
Revelation 9:5-6 "And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man. 6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them."
The Bible tells us in this passage that the days will come when man shall seek death, and shall not find it. He has a desire to die, but death shall flee from him. The context of this passage is after man has received the mark of the beast. So, one of the things that the mark of the beast will do, is to alter the genetics of man so that his physical body will no longer die.
Genesis 3:4-5 "And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil."
This passage tells us that man shall be as gods i.e. man is not a god, but he shall be as gods, which is to say, a change must happen bodily. That is the idea of transhumanism. The first step to making the change is to desensitize the public to the idea of genetic modification done on mankind as subjects, and that was to start modifying the genes of animals. Once that has become the acceptable norm, this is where teachings from the theory of Evolution come in to prove that man basically came from animals and therefore it is morally acceptable that the same idea be applied to mankind as subjects of the experiment.
The reason why Evolution is mandated in schools to young kids and dominated in the institutions of higher learning in every nation is for this very purpose. It is to indoctrinate the idea that man and beasts are basically the same. The goal is transhumanism i.e. "ye shall not surely die... ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil" and eventually the mark of the beast which number is '666'. It is even laid out in their satanic doctrine.
The Devil is a serpent. He moves in imperceptible steps. He operates in stages. He knows that a change can only develop by taking one imperceptible step at a time. Each change must be layered on top of what already exists and integrally wired to it. One inch forward will lead to another. One victory achieved will compound on another. He knows to leverage on the power of multiple "false witnesses". That is how he works to permanently change the truth of God into a lie, by taking one imperceptible step at a time, and by the time his victims are aware, they would already have been tightly coiled in the deathly grip of the great serpent. It is too late.
To have access to modifying your DNA, they start with the RNA, and they will tell you the story that it is not modification of your DNA. But once that becomes acceptable and the norm, then the next in the line of progression would be your DNA. Do you believe that day will come? The mark of the beast will be man's solution to the first death. It will be the Devil's version of the "tree of life" unto sinful men. Still think the Holy Bible is written by mere men? Not a chance.
