Here is a correlation of some more OT and NT verses
Exo 13:9 And this will be for a sign to you on your hand and for a mark on your brow, so that the law of the Lord may be in your mouth: for with a strong hand the Lord took you out of Egypt....See folks, it is not a chip. As much as one would like to think the Zionists control the world economy, it is slipping from their grasp. China is the emerging economic giant. When you try align bible prophecy with current world events, it does not compute. It needs to be discerned spiritually. What is Egypt symbolically? Bondage. You have head me cite this many times. Religion = bondage. Rev 18:1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from Heaven, having great authority. And the earth was lighted up from his glory. Rev 18:2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great has fallen, has fallen! And it has become the dwelling-place of demons, and a prison of every unclean spirit, and a cage of every unclean bird which has been hated, Rev 18:3 because of the wine of the anger of her fornication which all the nations have drunk. And the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her. And the merchants of the earth became rich from the power of her luxury. Rev 18:4 And I heard another voice from Heaven, saying, Come out of her, My people, that you may not be partakers of her sins, and that you may not receive of her plagues. Rev 16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of 1.the dragon, and out of 2.the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the 3.false prophet. Rev 16:14 For they are spirits of demons, working miracles, which go forth to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that day, the great day of God Almighty. Rev 16:15 Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is the one who watches and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame. We already know that the beast is from within, so who is;
So what are the demons? What miracles are worked. When Jesus comes, He comes as a thief, no one knows the day of their salvation. We are told to keep his garments, our garments are fleshly, His garments is Righteousness, unless we keep His righteousness, we stand naked and ashamed. I need to stop here as I am getting so much revelation and I need to break it up into more digestible chunks. I will try answer the questions as we proceed. You may just consider,
Ask the Holy Spirit to open up new understanding to these scriptures.Blessings |

Who is the Dragon, whos the Beast and who the false Prophet..they are ONE and the same...
All murderers and Liars from the Beginning...and we KNOW ALL liars and murderers have their part in the Lake But dont be mislead to WHAT you know to be a Liar and Murderer after the Flesh...one has to remeber its symbolism after the spirit Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Isa 27:1 In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that [is] in the sea. The false prophet IS the BEAST within...they NEED TO BE CAST out from WITHIN... much to much for one mail. Blessings.. Oh seeker... Those WATERS need drying up..those polluted waters before the LIVING Water can be our PURE stream of thought after HIM I just this. Psa 124:1 ¶ [[A Song of degrees of David.]] If [it had not been] the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say; Psa 124:2 If [it had not been] the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us: Psa 124:3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us: Psa 124:4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul: Psa 124:5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. Psa 124:6 Blessed [be] the LORD, who hath not given us [as] a prey to their teeth. Psa 124:7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

The number 666 appears several times in the Old Testament, including in 1 Kings 10:14-22 as the number of talents of gold received by King Solomon in one year. "Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was 666 talents of gold".
Name One interpretation is that 666 encodes the letters of someone’s name or title, identifying the Antichrist. Nero Scholars who believe that the Book of Revelation refers to historical people and events argue that the number represents Nero. In Hebrew gematria, every letter has a corresponding number. Summing these numbers gives a numeric value to a word or name. In Hebrew, "Nero Caesar" is spelled “נרון קסר”, pronounced "Neron Qe[i]sar". Adding the corresponding values yields 666, as shown: Resh Samekh Qoph Nun vav Resh Nun TOTAL 200 60 100 50 6 200 50 666 Removing the terminal נ (written as ן) makes the name "Nero" rather than "Neron", and makes the numeric value 616, which may explain that variation. Resh Samekh Qoph vav Resh Nun TOTAL 200 60 100 6 200 50 616 The hypothesis that 666 is a code for a Roman emperor seems to have historical support. The emperors were noted for their oppression of both Jews and Christians. Both communities were known to use numerology, codes and symbols (such as the Ichthys) when living under Roman rule to avoid persecution. Caligula David Parker, professor of New Testament Textual Criticism and Paleography at the University of Birmingham said that the correct number, 616, refers to the emperor Caligula[17]. Caligula's attempt to erect his statue in the Temple in Jerusalem may have inspired the author of Revelation to speak against the Roman Emperor.[18] In Hebrew, Gaius Caligula Caesar is גסקלגסקסר (gsqlgs qsr). Adding the values yields 616. Resh Samekh Qoph Samekh Gimel Lamed Qoph Samekh Gimel TOTAL 200 60 100 60 3 30 100 60 3 616 In Greek, "Gaios Kaisar" also yields 616. Γ α ι ο σς Κ α ι σς α ρ TOTAL 3 1 10 70 200 20 1 10 200 1 100 616 Domitian The German Protestant theologian Ethelbert Stauffer, arguing that gematria had been the most popular form of numerology not only among Jews but also in the Graeco-Roman world (Pergamon, Pompeii)[19], conceived a Greek gematrical procedure to explain the number 666. Judging from the precise information that the Book of Revelation gives about the person behind the number 666[20], Stauffer concluded that the "beast" can in general only refer to a Roman emperor and argued that this Emperor must be Domitian, because he had reigned during the proposed time of origin of the Apocalypse and supposedly was called "The Beast" as a "secret derisive nickname" by Romans, Greek, Christians and Jews.[21] Stauffer computed the Number of the Beast using the short form of Domitian's five titles and names A KAI ΔOMET ΣEB ΓE, as derived from the abbreviations on coins and inscriptions.[22] Domitian's official title in Latin was Imperator Caesar Domitianus Augustus Germanicus. This was rendered as Autokrator Kaisar Dometianos Sebastos Germanikos for his Greek-speaking subjects. And in turn, for their coins, this abbreviated to A.KAI.DOMET.SEB.GE which totals 666 in Greek Gematria. Α Κ Α Ι Δ Ο M Ε Τ Σ Ε Β Γ E TOTAL 1 20 1 10 4 70 40 5 300 200 5 2 3 5 666 Robert Graves suggested that DCLXVI, 666 in Roman numerals, is an abbreviation for the Latin sentence “Domitianus Caesar Legatos Xti Violenter Interfecit”, or “The Emperor Domitian violently killed the envoys of Christ”.[23] Papacy Some Protestant Bible commentators have equated the "beast" of Revelation chapter 13 with the Papacy.[24] The earliest extant record of a Protestant writer on this subject is that of Professor Andreas Helwig in 1612 in his work Antichristus Romanus. The title was contained in the Donation of Constantine a forged document falsely claiming to come from the Emperor Constantine the Great, by which large privileges and rich possessions were conferred on the pope and the Roman Church.[25] V I C A R I V S F I L I I D E I TOTAL 5 1 100 0 0 1 5 0 0 1 50 1 1 500 0 1 666 Seventh-day Adventists believe that the "mark of the beast" (but not the number 666) refers to a future, universal, legally enforced Sunday-worship. “Those who reject God’s memorial of creatorship — the Bible Sabbath — choosing to worship and honor Sunday in the full knowledge that it is not God’s appointed day of worship, will receive the ‘mark of the beast.’”[26] "The Sunday Sabbath is purely a child of the Papacy. It is the mark of the beast."[27] Some fundamentalists believe that the mark of the beast refers to the Catholic practice of making the sign of the cross. [28] Martin Luther wrote in a footnote to Rev 13:15-18: "Spirit means / that it is active / and not a dead image / but that it has its rights and offices in its womb. These are six hundred and sixty and six years. So long the earthly papacy remains." During the Reformation, Martin Luther noted that "Benediktos" added up to 666 in Greek gematria, and he thought it might refer to a Pope named Benedict or to Benedictine monks. Β ε ν ε δ ι κ τ ο σς TOTAL 2 5 50 5 4 10 20 300 70 200 666 Luther has many comments and theories against the papacy in the footnotes to his translation of the Book of Revelation. Lateinos, Euanthas, Teitan This article or section needs to be wikified to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. Please help improve this article with relevant internal links. (June 2008) Irenaeus suggested that the number indicates that the beast is the sum of all apostasy committed over the course of six thousand years.[29] Irenaeus suggested that 666 might refer to Lateinos(The ancient Greek word for "Latin man"), Euanthas or Teitan. Irenaeus wrote: It is not through a want of names containing the number of that name that I say this, but on account of the fear of God, and zeal for the truth: for the name Evanthas (ΕΥΑΝΘΑΣ ) contains the required number, but I make no allegation regarding it. Then also Lateinos(ΛΑΤΕΙΝΟΣ) has the number six hundred and sixty-six; and it is a very probable [solution], this being the name of the last kingdom [of the four seen by Daniel]. For the Latins are they who at present bear rule: I will not, however, make any boast over this [coincidence]. Teitan too, (ΤΕΙΤΑΝ, the first syllable being written with the two Greek vowels ε and ι, among all the names which are found among us, is rather worthy of credit. For it has in itself the predicted number, and is composed of six letters, each syllable containing three letters; and [the word itself] is ancient, and removed from ordinary use; for among our kings we find none bearing this name Titan, nor have any of the idols which are worshipped in public among the Greeks and barbarians this appellation.Among many persons, too, this name is accounted divine, so that even the sun is termed "Titan" by those who do now possess [the rule]. This word, too, contains a certain outward appearance of vengeance, and of one inflicting merited punishment because he (Antichrist) pretends that he vindicates the oppressed. And besides this, it is an ancient name, one worthy of credit, of royal dignity, and still further, a name belonging to a tyrant. Inasmuch, then, as this name "Titan" has so much to recommend it, there is a strong degree of probability, that from among the many [names suggested], we infer, that perchance he who is to come shall be called "Titan."[30] L A T E I N O S TOTAL 30 1 300 5 10 50 70 200 666 T E I T A N TOTAL 300 5 10 300 1 50 666 E U A N TH A S TOTAL 5 400 1 50 9 1 200 666 Other suggested names Andrew of Caesarea in his Commentary on Revelation gives seven names: Lampetis (the lustrous one), Teitan, Palaibaskanos (an ancient sorcerer), Benediktos (blue bastard), Kakos Odegos (wicked guide), Alethes Blaberos (really harmful), and Amnos Adikos (unjust lamb) each of which gives a total of 666. Most of these names are repeated by Arethas of Caesarea, who in his Commentary adds Teitan from Irenaeus and O Niketes (the conqueror).[31] Victorinus of Pettau gives the names Teitan, Antemos (opponent), Diclux (double-dealer) and Genserikos; the last he calls Gothic. As it is plainly Genseric, the Vandal king, who captured Rome in 455 AD., the passage as a whole can not go back to Victorinus, who belonged to the third century. It is not, however surprising that the commentary should be brought up to date, after Genseric became notorious through the sack of Carthage or of Rome. Of the other names in Victorinus only Diclux needs mention. It is said to be the Latin counterpart of Teitan and by reckoning each letter at its value in Roman numerals, the total of 666 is again given.[31] Venerable Bede gives three names: Teitan, Antemos (opponent), and Arnoyme (I deny). Beatus, a Spanish monk, gives eight names among which are Damnatus(Damned), Antichristus(Antichrist), and Acxyme(for aichime or achine=666). The numerical interpretation of Antichristus is based on the order of letters in the Latin alphabet, a=1 to x =300, but the accusative must be taken and spelled Antechristum.[31] Mark of commerce He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. – Rev. 13:16-17 (NIV) Futurist Christian eschatology typically holds that the Mark of the Beast is one way in which the Antichrist will exercise power over the Earth during the period of Tribulation, because of the prophetic statement in Revelation 13:16-17 that "the Beast" (θηριον) will require all people to receive the mark (χάραγμα "branded mark or character") in their right hands or foreheads in order to buy or sell, making survival for those on the run much more difficult. A possible translation of the meaning of the number 666 may be: the number 666 will be the number that all currency will be based upon. Exact interpretations of this vary widely. For example: Some Christians interpret the mark as a requirement for all commerce to mean that the mark might actually be an object with the function of a credit card (eg. RFID).[32] Steven D. Miller proposes that the mark of the beast may refer to a social security number or card.[33] Terry Watkins supposes the mark to be a microchip and or barcode on the human body.[34] Some support this barcode theory through reference to the guard bars found in some common barcode systems such as the UPC. The rationale relies on interpreting each of the groups of guard bars as a '6', even though they are not encoded as a '6' using the barcode system.[35] Other interpretations To meet Wikipedia's quality standards, this article or section may require cleanup because it is in a list format that may be better presented using prose. You can help by converting this section to prose, if appropriate. Editing help is available. (June 2007) The Roman numeral writing of 666, "DCLXVI" is also composed with the first six Roman numerals (I, V, X, L, C, D), written in descending order. In Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism), the number 666 may be considered mystical and holy and may represent the physical universe.[36] Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that the Beast for which 666 stands symbolizes many governments, harmonizing with the symbolic depiction of past governments (denoted as "kings") in the Book of Daniel as wild beasts. The Beast is said to have "a human number" in that the governments that the beast symbolizes are all of a human origin, they aren't made up of spirit or demon entities. The number 666 is also believed to be symbolic, standing for imperfection. The number seven is interpreted as being a "perfect" or "complete" number based on the fact that it is used frequently in the Bible to signify completeness, for example Psalm 12:6 and the Genesis creation week. Just as six is one short of seven, imperfection is short of perfection, and hence six is interpreted as symbolizing imperfection. Six is repeated three times for emphasis, producing the number 666. [37] (This is similar to Vines Expository Dictionary under "Sixty, Sixtyfold," which states: "The number is suggestive of the acme of the pride of fallen man, the fullest development of man under direct satanic control, and standing in contrast to 'seven' as the number of completeness and perfection.") Aleister Crowley (1875–1947) claimed that he was the Beast prophesised in the Book of Revelation and took the name “Το μεγα θηριον” ("To Mega Therion"), Greek for “The Great Beast”, which adds up to 666 by isopsephy, the Greek form of gematria.[38][39] In the writings of the Bahá'í Faith, `Abdu'l-Bahá states that the numerical value given to the beast referred to the year 666 A.D., when the Umayyad ruler Muawiyah I, who opposed the Imamate, arose.[40] 6,666 Martyrs of the Theban Legion The long-standing tradition of Christian hagiography regarding the Theban Legion - an entire Roman legion whose members had supposedly converted en masse to Christianity and were martyred together, in 286 - gives their number as precisely "six thousand six hundred and sixty-six men", which was not the normal number of soldiers in a Roman Legion.[citation needed] This number is similar to the "Number of the Beast" though with an additional digit, but has a precisely opposite connotation as the number of highly honoured and revered martyrs for the Christian cause. Culture and psychology The number 666 retains a peculiar significance in the culture and psychology of Western societies, where some perceive it as “the Devil’s number”, even in contexts usually remote from superstition. The fear of the number 666 is called hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia. The Number of the Beast is also a popular song by heavy metal band Iron Maiden who incorporate superstitious lyrics based on 666 into their song. The number is also featured in the 1976 film The Omen. Mathematics An apocalypse number is defined as any number having exactly 666 digits.[41] An apocalyptic number is any number that follows the formula 2n and contains three sixes consecutively, such as 2157, which is the first one of this kind.[42] Apocalypse primes are given by the formula 10665+n for n=123, 1837, 6409, 7329, 8569, 8967, 9663, ... The smallest apocalypse prime containing the digits 666 is 10^(665)+166657 (Rupinski).[41] The number 666 is also a triangular number. If all the numbers from 1 to 36 (6*6) are added together, the sum is 666.[43] The Golden Ratio has a certain trigonometric identity that was recently discovered on 1994. If we multiply the golden ratio with the answer is coincidently equal to the which in terms of cosines is also equal to and so: |

Such a long list of possibilities for the identity of the beast.
Sadly, the number is a human number. The number of man who was created on the sixth day, for it is a human number. The imperfect day. Our inheritance is such that we are all the beast. You, me, your best friend, and your Pastor/Priest. In order to gain salvation, Christ must conquer us completely and utterly. When our Adam nature is passed through the Lake of Fire and we emerge on the other side, we shall be as Christ. The Old Testament is but an ensample of what will take place in each and every one of us as we are perfected in the refiners fire. For is it not written that your trials of faith are likened unto gold that is refined in the fire? Is it not the work of the threshing floor to separate the grain within us from the chaffe that must be burned? Is it not written that all men must taste of the fire, though our worm dieth not? 666 is our number. It is our Adamic nature. Stop looking outside yourself and look deep within. When we fail to do this, we cast our own shadow onto the other. We must be like Jesus when He cleaned His Father's Temple. That outward Temple that is no more, for you are the Temple now. Jesus did not clean the Temples of Baal or Isis or Caesar. He cleaned His own. So too should we follow His example, and cast not our own shadow onto others. Let Christ who dwells in you do His work. If we do not, then we will experience the pain and the agony and the earthquakes and wars and rumors of war all within our own being. Blessings
