00:00THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST
00:05Greetings, brothers and sisters in the Lord.
00:09As you are certainly aware, we are living in the end days.
00:13This world has come to the last generation.
00:16We have officially entered the period of repentance.
00:19It's also a confirmation that we are living in the last days of the Age of Grace.
00:24The tragic events and scandals that are happening in our world today
00:28were announced a long time ago, and the worse is still to come.
00:34Nonetheless, there is a silver lining.
00:36The Lord is coming.
00:38So look up, keep watching for His return,
00:41and let your light shine in this world of darkness.
00:45Be the light the devils hate.
00:47Now let's get to the heart of the matter.
00:49Among all the numbers, there is one that reminds the Bible readers
00:54about the enemies of God and the dreadful mass atrocities they will commit.
00:59It's the number 666, also known as the number of the beast.
01:05That number is found in the last book of the Bible,
01:08which is the book of Revelation.
01:10Let's have a look at it.
01:11It's at the end of chapter 13 at verse 18.
01:15Here is wisdom.
01:16Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast.
01:21For it is the number of a man,
01:23and his number is six hundred threescore and six.
01:26For the last two thousand years,
01:28that verse has intrigued most Bible readers and scholars alike.
01:33Through the ages, many are those who tackled that thought-provoking verse,
01:37and they all came up with the most diverse solutions to find out who it is.
01:42They all came up with the most fantastic concoctions of numbers,
01:47acrobatics of letters, and twistings of names to come up with the number 666.
01:53Many are the people who thought they were the 666.
01:58Can you tell what they all have in common?
02:00The Holy Spirit shows they all focus their attention on the second part of the verse
02:05while ignoring the first part.
02:07They all take a shortcut, and as a result, they will never get the right answer.
02:13Only wisdom and understanding can unlock this puzzling verse.
02:17Is there a way to get wisdom and understanding?
02:20I think so.
02:22Let us ask a wise man who lived about 4,000 years ago.
02:26The opening of the book of Job, chapter 1, verse 1.
02:29There was a man in the land of Uzzi whose name was Job,
02:33and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God and eschewed evil.
02:39Let's hear what Job has to say about wisdom and understanding.
02:43Let's go further in the book of Job to chapter 28, verse 28.
02:49Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to depart from evil is understanding.
02:55Now let's hear another wise man.
02:59King Solomon was the wisest man of the ancient world.
03:02Here's what he had to say about it.
03:04It's written at the opening of the book of Proverbs, in chapter 1, verses 1 to 7.
03:09The Proverbs of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel,
03:14to know wisdom and instruction,
03:16to perceive the words of understanding,
03:18to receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment and equity,
03:22to give subtlety to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.
03:28A wise man will hear and will increase learning,
03:31and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels,
03:35to understand a proverb and the interpretation,
03:38the words of the wise and their dark sayings.
03:41The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge,
03:45but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
03:48Now, let's go back to the book of Revelation, chapter 13, verse 18,
03:54but this time, let's read it as the ancient wise men would read it.
03:59Here is wisdom.
04:01Here you have God's first requirement.
04:04You must have wisdom.
04:05Let him that hath understanding.
04:08Here you have God's second requirement.
04:11You must perceive the words of understanding.
04:14Count the number of the beast.
04:15Here you have God's third requirement.
04:18You must receive the instruction of wisdom.
04:21For it is the number of a man,
04:23and his number is six hundred threescore and six.
04:27That line is the second part of the verse.
04:30It's God's dark saying.
04:32As we just read,
04:33God has inserted three specific requirements in that verse
04:36before the reader comes to the dark saying.
04:39Does it mean the book of Revelation is a sealed book?
04:42The Lord gave John a specific instruction about that
04:46in Revelation, chapter 22, verse 10.
04:49Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book,
04:53for the time is at hand.
04:55To simplify what we just looked at,
04:57these three requirements act like three filters,
05:01and as such,
05:02they are designed to let pass what is pure
05:04while keeping out the impurities.
05:06These three requirements defeat any attempt
05:09by anyone who takes any shortcut.
05:11In conclusion, let me just say this.
05:14I didn't make this video to show off
05:16or to start a contest
05:18to know who has the correct answer to that verse
05:20and who doesn't.
05:22Lately, the Holy Spirit has shed light
05:24on difficult passages of the Holy Scriptures.
05:28I only hope that what the Spirit has shown me
05:31may help those among you
05:32who are searching the deep things of God
05:35with a pure heart.
05:36I am so glad to know this.
05:37I am so glad to see it.
05:39I am so glad to see it.
05:41I am so glad.
05:42That's when I have the last night.
