The Most Famous Number

People immediately recognize 666 as "the number of the beast." But what is the beast, and why does it have a number? The verse describing the number reveals that it is the number of a man, so who is this man?

 

Revelation 13:18 - "This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666."

 

The man whose number is 666 is often referred to as the Antichrist or the man of lawlessness. Paul the Apostle described the man of lawlessness' reign, which must take place before Jesus' return:

 

2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 - "Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God."

 

The Bible provides multiple details about the Antichrist that open the door for us to identify him in advance, so in that spirit, let's walk through some criteria and see if we can make a compelling case that someone currently alive fits the bill.

 

Biblical Descriptions of the Beast

Revelation and Daniel portray the Antichrist as a beast, but with quite different imagery:

 

Revelation 13:2 - "And the beast that I saw was like a leopard; its feet were like a bear's, and its mouth was like a lion's mouth. And to it the dragon gave his power and his throne and great authority."

 

Daniel 7:8 - "โ€ฆthere came up before them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots. And behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things."

 

Observe how Prince Charles of Wales' official Coat of Arms contains all this imagery to the detail:

 

Calculating the Number of the Beast

People like to come up with their own personal method by which to derive the number 666 from whomever they claim to be the Antichrist. However, when Rev. 13:18 was written, a person reading it would likely understand it to be referring to the practice of summing all the letters (representing numbers) in someone's name.

 

In ancient Hebrew (and later in Greek as well), each character of the alphabet had a corresponding number. So to calculate the "number of a man" in these times, one would sum all the letters (representing numbers) in the name. The practice of performing the calculation using the original language (Hebrew) is often referred to as Gematria. In Gematria, the first ten letters are assigned the values 1, 2, โ€ฆ 9, the next ten letters are assigned the values 10, 20 โ€ฆ 90, and the next four letters are assigned the values 100, 200, 300, and 400. Note that in the preterist fulfillment of Revelation, the Antichrist, Nero Caesar, had a name that calculated to 666 via Gematria when transliterated into Hebrew.
