People have been trying to figure out exactly what is the "mark of the beast" and the number "666"? But I believe I have found evidence in the Bible that gives us deeper insight into what it may very well be; and it's not what we have thought! Sometimes we make the rather obvious more complex than it is when it's been before our eyes all along. Unfortunately, the reason we have failed to see it is a combination of nationalism, dominionism, militarism and brainwashing that go way back to childhood.
NOW IS THE TIME TO QUESTION EVERYTHING WE. HAVE BEEN TAUGHT AND SEARCH IT IN GOD'S WORD FOR OURSELVES! The Bible says, "Work out your salvation with fear and trembling!" Your eternity and relationship with Jesus Christ depends upon it!
Revelation 13:16-18 NASB
And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, [17] and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name. [18] Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number is six hundred and sixty-six.
