SIX SIX SIX (666-3)
(Message by Tanny Keng)
0. Introduction
a) "666" is the number and mark of the Beast of Revelation 13. It symbolizes the perfection of man’s system, separated from God and under Satan’s rule. It is interesting to note what other mention(s) for 666 can be found in the Bible.
1. How is the number 666 related to the wealth of Solomon?
a) The total talents of gold brought to Solomon each year was 666.
"The weight of gold that came to Solomon YEARLY was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold, BESIDES what the traveling merchants and traders brought. And all the kings of Arabia and governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon." (1 Kings 10:13-14)
b) Solomon received six-hundred and sixty-six talents of gold EACH year, which in today's world (assuming $1,500 per troy ounce) would be worth close to TWO BILLION dollars! But this perfection of money-power was only "vanity and vexation of spirit" (Ecclesiastes 2:8,11; compare 1 Timothy 6:10).
