SIX SIX SIX (666)
(Message by Tanny Keng)
0. Introduction
a) The number six hundred sixty six represents the name of the Beast (Revelation 13:17-18). When the name of Antichrist is known its Gematria (substituting numeric values for letters) will doubtless be found to be 666. But this number has, we believe, a far deeper reference to and connection with the secret mysteries of the ancient religions, which will be again manifested in connection with the last great apostasy.
b) Many names may be found, the numerical value of whose letters amounts to 666. We have a list of about forty such gematria. Most of them are ridiculous, inasmuch as instead of the gematria being confined to Hebrew and Greek (which have no special signs for a number), the principle is extended to names in English, French, and other modern languages, on the assumption that they would have been spelt in exactly the same way; whereas we know that names both of persons and places are not simply transliterated in various languages. It is absurd therefore to attempt to take words from the modern European languages which use Arabic figures.
c) Gematria is not a means by which the name is to be discovered; but it will be a test and a proof by which the name may be identified after the person is revealed. If six represents secular or human perfection, then 66 is a more emphatic expression of the same fact, and 666 is the concentrated expression of it; six hundred sixty-six is therefore the triple of human perfection; the perfection of imperfection; the culmination of human pride in independence of God and opposition to His Christ.
666, however, has to be computed, to reckon, to calculate, not merely to count or enumerate). See Revelation 13:18. Therefore it is not to be known by gematria merely, though, as we have said, that will be one of the factors in the calculation, just as the letters in the word Jesus amount to 888.
d) But 666 was the secret symbol of the ancient pagan mysteries connected with the worship of the Devil. It is to day the secret connecting link between those ancient mysteries and their modern revival in Spiritualism, Theosophy, etc. The efforts of the great enemy are now directed towards uniting all into one great whole. The newspapers, worldly and religious, are full of schemes as to such a union. "Reunion" is in the air. The societies for the re-union of Christendom, and the Conferences for the re-union of the Churches, are alike parts of the same great movement, and are all making for and are signs of the coming Apostasy. During this age, "Separation" is God's word for His people, and is the mark of Christ; while "union" and "re-union" is the mark of Antichrist.
e) "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.
