[§231] Rev 13:18: The Number of the Second Beast Is 666

2/24/2026
This podcast explains the symbolism used by John the Revelator in Revelation 13:18, which states: "Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.” The wisdom referred to in this verse is the wisdom of God. This phrase is a voice of latter-day warning for people to understand and protect themselves against the wickedness and evil of the Second Beast in Revelation chapter 13. The dangers of the Second Beast are symbolically represented by the number of the beast, which people are expected to count or calculate. The number of the beast is also the number of a man, meaning it is worldly or evil‒not godly. The name and number of the beast is 666. This number has led to many different and erroneous interpretations using Gematria as explained in this podcast. The number 666 can be correctly interpreted with reference to the symbolism of the numbers themselves. The number six (6) symbolizes evil because it is one short of the perfect number seven (7). When combined with itself three (3) times, the 666 yields a trinity of evil or perfect imperfection. The name and number, therefore, represents the highest or fullest state of evil to be achieved by the Second Beast as of the Second Coming, which is the chronological context for Revelation 13:18. -------------------------- Chapters 00:00 Welcome to Unveiling Jesus Christ 00:30 Introduction to Revelation 13:18 03:08 Here is Wisdom 06:26 Wisdom to Count the Number of the Beast 18:31 How to Count the Number of the Beast 27:53 Interpretations of 666 Using Gematria 38:03 The Symbolic Meaning of 666 -------------------------- 🔗 Where to Find More from Unveiling Jesus Christ ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UnveilingJesusChrist ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/johncassinat/ ► Website: https://www.unveilingjesuschrist.com/
