666 – End Times Prophecy Report

666: The Sheer Convenience That Will Mark the Mark of the Beast

“And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 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.”
–Revelation 13:16-18

During a recent discussion concerning 666 (the mark of the beast), it was speculated that when the man of sin introduces the mark of the beast, it will be promoted to end times man as serving his convenience in some manner.

AND it was speculated that end times man will appreciate and value that offer of supposed amenity–even though that offered convenience will doom end times man to an eternity in hell.

NOW, God’s Word declares that any and ALL who receive the mark of the beast will end up in the lake of fire for eternity.

“And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.”
–Revelation 14:9-11

So the question might reasonably be asked: “Why would end times man appreciate something (the mark of the beast) which will assuredly result in his spending eternity in a lake of fire?”

A reasonable answer might be “Because end times man will value convenience so highly.”

Why does end times man value his convenience so highly?

1- Because there are few things which end times man values above his own comfort. Convenience certainly contributes to a man’s comfort in many ways.

2- Because end times man places such a high value on his time: end times man values his own time over anyone else’s time. This is evident even today, when many place so much emphasis on their own time at the expense of others.

3- Because, even though he greatly appreciates money, end times man appreciates convenience even more. This is a fact which is not lost on retailers, who offer convenience in every facet of the retail experience–for a price. In fact, many retailers have discarded the “Time is money” motto. They have replaced it with “Money is here today, gone tomorrow; time is forever, therefore, time is more valuable than money.”

There have been a great many fables told in the churches about end times man being “forced” to take the mark of the beast.

Let the reader NOT be fooled.

There will be no “force” needed.

It is reasoned that the “If one wants to buy or sell, you must have the mark” will be the final offer of the beast–not his opening one.

Modern man will stand in line in order to receive the mark.

DOES the reader ever ponder what he will do when the mark of the beast is instituted?

OR does the reader assign that near-future problem to the “I’ll worry about it when it happens” pile?

OR does the reader assign all of this to the “I don’t believe any of that Bible stuff” pile?

It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”

What is the Significance of 666?

A FEW THOUGHTS

Recently, someone asked a very good question.

“Where did 666 come from? What is the significance of the number?”

Although the preceding is two different questions, the questioner meant them as one. One question, with the second as a sort of clarification about what he meant.

This is a good question because, though many understand that 666 is an important end times number, they do not understand anything further. And in the times in which we now live, the number diminishes daily of those who even understand that 666 is an important end times number.

Perhaps surprisingly, God’s Word does not have much to say (beyond Revelation 13:16-18) about 666.

Therefore, here are a few observations/speculations/thoughts about 666 and its significance in the end times.

1- Regardless of what we know or do not know about the intricacies of 666, the number itself is important because of the information contained in Revelation 13:16-18. The number 666 (or the “mark of the beast” or the name of the beast or the number of his name) will be used to screen those who want to buy or sell (and to most, the ability to buy or sell means the ability to eat, to survive, to live). This economic system will be put in place by the leader of the world government (the beast) and his “mouth“: the man of sin.

In the world in which we now live, 666 abounds.

BUT, it is not yet a mark/proof of worship of Satan and his beast or proof of who can buy or sell.

MORE: The Ubiquity of 666

2- About the beast, God’s Word informs that

“And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.”
–Revelation 13:5

This “mouth” is the man of sin.

It is the man of sin who implements the system which requires those who wish to buy or sell to have 666 put in their right hand or in their forehead.

3- 666 is the number of a man.

“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.”
–Revelation 13:18

Among those who claim to decipher the Word of God for the unlearned common folk, 7 is the number of godly perfection and 6 is one short.

Or the number of man, who is short of God.

4- 666 most probably was used in some capacity by the evil worldwide civilization which existed before God destroyed it in the flood.

“And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.”
–Genesis 6:5-7

“The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.”
–Genesis 6:11

That 666 was used in some capacity by the evil worldwide, demonically-driven world empire before the flood is speculation on the part of this writer.

HOWEVER, that speculation is based on Matthew 24:37 and Luke 17:26.

“But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”
–Matthew 24:37

“And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.”
–Luke 17:26

(And yes, we do realize that Matthew 24:37 and Luke 17:26 were specifically referring to the situation of man totally surprised by the sudden onslaught of the flood compared to end times man totally surprised by the sudden appearance of Jesus Christ, But, both Scripture can also be used as a general description of both times.)

Perhaps 666 was needed to buy or sell in the days immediately before Noah and his family entered the ark?

Again, this last thought is only speculation.

5- 666 is the mark of the beast. The populace needs the mark in order to buy or sell (at least that is what they are told). BUT the mark (666) is a sign/proof of WORSHIP. Specifically, the worship of Satan and his beast. The Corporate Media and the churches have worked long and hard to distract folks from the true significance of 666. To this end, the “cashless society” has been promoted as a necessity of the mark. HOWEVER, this places the emphasis on the economic impact of the mark (666) and completely leaves out the WORSHIP component. ALL who receive the mark will be guilty of worshiping Satan and the image of his beast.

“And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads”
–Revelation 13:14-16

When God sends an angel to warn mankind NOT to take the mark (666), the angel specifically mentions the worship factor–TWICE.

For the reader, the true significance of 666 is fairly easy to ascertain, however.

When the reader sees 666 being used–-particularly as a screening device to enable one to buy or sell AND as a mark that one is a participant in Satan-approved worship–-one can KNOW that the return of Jesus Christ is not far off.

IS the reader curious about the mark of the beast and its number, 666?

It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

The Use of 666 Among the Rich and Celebrated of the World

For centuries, the common folk avoided the use of 666.

No doubt this uneasiness over 666 had to do with the Biblical warnings in the Book of Revelation about the use of 666 (“the mark of the beast“) in the end times.

HOWEVER, such uneasiness did NOT extend to the rich and celebrated–whose allegiance was largely to the prince of this world: Satan.

“Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.”
–John 12:31

“Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.”
–John 14:30

“Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.”
–John 16:11

MORE: Bloodlines of the Rich and Celebrated and the Prince of This World

Those who placed their faith in the world, the things of the world and the prince of this world frequently used 666 to 1- mark their territory; and 2- alert others of their kind to their true allegiance.

Therefore, here are a few of the most infamous addresses of the rich and celebrated which use 666.

1- THE LUCIS TRUST

Originally called the Lucifer Publishing Company, the Lucis Trust is the house publisher of the United Nations.

At one time, the Lucis Trust office in New York was located at 666 United Nations Plaza…
—The Lucis Trust: the Spiritual Foundation of the United Nations

2- THE ABODE OF JARED AND IVANKA KUSHNER

The son-in-law and daughter of billionaire president Donald Trump appropriately live at 666 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York–which is owned by Kushner Properties.

Following meetings at the White House and also with the Kushners over their 666 Fifth Avenue property, former Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim reported back to the emir that “the people atop the new administration were heavily motivated by personal financial interest.”
—All Hail President Javanka!

666 Fifth Avenue has long been popular among the rich and celebrated.

One of its most famous exterior features was the prominent 666 address emblazoned on the top of the building.

3- THE FINISH LINE OF THE BOSTON MARATHON

The Boston Marathon interestingly enough, finishes every year at 666 Boyslton Street.

This fact became fairly well-known during the coverage of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing.

Here is a image of the finish line on Google maps, Ill provide the link so you can see for yourself. Now here is where it gets crazy; the first explosion was 66.6 feet away and second 666 feet away.
—The Boston Marathon finish line was located at 666 Boylston Street?

4- RONALD REAGAN’S RETIREMENT

“In 1989 Ronald and Nancy Reagan retired to 666 St. Cloud Road in the Bel-Air district of Los Angeles.”
—Reagans Easing Into Private Life as Californians

Nancy Reagan later had the address changed to 668 St. Cloud Road.

5- THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT

Lastly, the Washington Monument is a well-known location for 666 lore.

The Washington Monument is 6666″ in height and 666″ x 666″ at the base.
—Secrets in Plain Sight: 666

Located almost due east of theReflecting Pool and theLincoln Memorial, the monument, made of marble, granite, and bluestone gneiss, is both the world’s tallest predominantly stone structure and the world’s tallest obelisk, standing 554 feet 11/32 inches (169.046 m) tall according to theNational Geodetic Survey (measured 2013–14) or 555 feet 5/18 inches (169.294 m) tall according to the National Park Service(measured 1884).
—The Washington Monument

OF COURSE, along the way, the caretakers of the world were involved in the ceremonies.

On July 4, 1848, the Freemasons, an organization to which Washington belonged, laid the cornerstone (symbolically, not physically).
—The Washington Monument

While the Washington Monument is not owned by the rich and celebrated, it is controlled by those who have placed their faith in the world, the things of the the world and the prince of this world: mostly all rich and celebrated.

The fact that a deceived nation has beat a path to the world’s largest obelisk (an occult symbol) is more a tribute to the power of indoctrination and propaganda than anything else.

BONUS: THE FIRST APPLE COMPUTER SOLD FOR $666.66.

Seems like an odd price point, huh?!?

But maybe not.

Particularly for a company whose infamous logo is an apple with a bite out it.

The original Apple-1 computers were sold to San Francisco electronics retailer Byte Shop and were put on sale for $666.66 apiece. Wozniak reportedly chose the price for two reasons: it was a mark-up of a third on the parts’ cost and because he “liked repeating digits”.
—APPLE-1 COMPUTER BUILT BY STEVE JOBS AND STEVE WOZNIAK SELLS FOR MORE THAN £560,000

IN CONCLUSION:

Here are five locations associated with 666–as well as one bonus 666.

There are plenty more.

At some point in the near future, more about 666 will likely be explored.

The Ubiquity of 666

ubiquity:

The state…of appearing to be everywhere at once

One sign of the times in which we now live: the appearing of 666 seemingly everywhere in popular culture.

It is in popular movies.

In popular TV series.

On the Internet.

In the logos of many large, well-known corporations.

666 has for years figured prominently in the promotion of many rock music, rock bands and entire genres of such music.

But 666 has become mainstream: even featured in the advertising of many highly-promoted every day products.

It is woven into many of the mass-produced daily goods which adorn households everywhere: napkin holders, decorative wall-coverings, candle holders, picture frames, and especially in many types of decorative motifs and backgrounds.

As popular as 666 has become, it is strongly suspected it will become even more so in the near future.

Yes, 666 has become VERY prevalent in the culture…

…as befits a culture on a collision course with the climax of human history.

HAS the reader noticed this popularity of 666?

HAS the reader looked?

It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

The Shrinking Usefulness of Cash in the End Times

There are a great many who are mostly ignorant about the end times.

BUT one point many DO know is the “mark of the beast,” with the world government system forcing men to choose between the dragon [Satan] and his man of sin and God Almighty and His Son, Jesus Christ.

Those who choose Jesus Christ will lack the mark and will not be able to buy or sell.

A many fantastic false teaching tales about the mark of the beast have made their way into the public’s knowledge, primarily through the churches and the antichrist TV preachers. Some of these tall tales involve the mark being an RFID chip, some other sort of microchip or a bar code or tattoo of some type.

While these most items most likely will appear, they are NOT the mark of the beast.

The mark helps the man of sin keep tabs on who has declared for his church and its worship of the dragon [Satan}. It is important for the man of sin to keep accurate records because those without the mark cannot buy or sell–which is what the man of sin uses to control the world’s populations.

To this end, the world is currently trimming the usefulness of cash.

The doing away of cash is an important end times topic: the use of cash guarantees a certain amount of anonymity, both in its use and in its transfer to someone other than the person who holds it. Therefore, cash will likely become a thing of the past.

MORE: CASHLESS SOCIETY: How Untrackable is Cash?

Three signs that cash is becoming less important in the world.

1- Many self-serve retail checkout scanners will no longer accept cash. These units will only accept some type of credit or debit card. The number of these non-cash accepting retail checkout units has really accelerated over the past six months. It has now reached the point at some retail locations, where those who use cash stand in line while scanners which only accept cards remain unused.

IF efficiency in serving its customers was the only concern, the checkout units would accept cards OR cash–as nearly ALL previously have done.

2- It is very difficult to rent a car or a hotel or motel room if one only has cash.

The car rental industry has mostly operated with a credit cards-only policy for years, but the hospitality industry has made a rapid conversion over the past 12-18 months. While some motels/hotels accepted only cards previously, NOW the great majority will NOT accept cash nor one of the temporary pre-loaded cards.

The anonymity of cash and the pre-loaded debit cards is lost as only a registered credit card is commonly accepted. There are other commercial sectors which also have phased out the acceptance of cash, most particularly banking and finance.

3- While this is not as immediate as the first two examples, over the past few years movies which are set in the future do not feature any commercial transactions using cash.

The transactions now feature some sort of electronic funds transfer and are referred to as “units,” “portions,” “credits” or some other non-cash moniker.

The reader can rest assured that the continued de-emphasis on cash will continue through the last days.

Again, this is not the mark of the beast–but it helps set up the financial system ultimately used by the man of sin.

FIVE REASONS YOU WILL LIKELY FOLLOW THE MAN OF SIN AND STAND IN LINE FOR THE MARK OF THE BEAST

“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.”
–Revelation 13:18

CHOOSING 666: FIVE REASONS

Practically everyone on the face of the earth will be worshiping the man of sin and his beast image.

Therefore, there’s a a pretty good chance the reader will be among those who will be following the man of sin, standing in line to get the mark of the beast and damning himself for all eternity.

Don’t believe it?

Here’s what the Bible says.

1- Men desperately want others to think they are “good.”

Men care more about what other men think about them than what God’s Word commands them to do.

IF a person won’t stand up for Jesus or leave a church when times are good, it’s for sure they won’t do it when times turn bad.

“And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.”
–Revelation 13:11

Revelation 13:11 is describing a church system in which the churches look like Christianity but sound like the dragon (Satan).

Satan Has Counterfeited the Christian Church

Almost ALL who are involved in worship NOW are already worshiping in churches which have plenty of man-made rituals. Many practices are steeped in witchcraft, paganism and the occult, whether church-goers are aware of it or not.

There is an entire cottage industry of those who justify the ungodliness found in the churches.

In short: the churches NOW look like Christianity but sound like the dragon (Satan).

“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?”
–2Corinthians 6:14

OF COURSE, misery loves company and so those in the churches will throw around the words “fellowship” and “assemble yourself together.”

But God’s Word says a believer’s fellowship is WITH JESUS CHRIST, not some building. Believers are to assemble themselves whenever possible, not because there are pagan rituals taking place in a certain building.

Fellowship During Apostasy: End Times Assembling of Believers

Men will not leave their churches because belonging to a church is how other men judge whether one is “good‘ or not. It doesn’t matter what one does in such a building: for others to think him “good,” he must show up at that building regularly–and THAT is what really counts.

2- Most already put the things of this world ahead of Jesus Christ and God Almighty. Though they protest otherwise, their actions speak louder than their words: who among you will put Jesus ahead of job, family or modern conveniences?

“Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.”
–James 4:4

Practically everyone has an excuse about WHY he cannot let go of the things of this world. The excuses WILL NOT stop when a person needs the mark of the beast or face death. The excuses WILL NOT stop when a person cannot buy or sell if they do not have the mark of the beast.

“…and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”
–Revelation 13:15,17

“But my kids will go hungry! God doesn’t want my kids to starve, does he?”

“How will I get my prescription?”

“My mother needs her medicine! Does God expect me to let my mother die?”

The excuse-makers will only step up their game a notch. Nothing will change from NOW.

3- So many now believe science, news, government, education, medicine or other fables of men rather than God’s Word. It will be easy for them to believe the man of sin’s word ahead of the Bible.

“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.”
–2 Timothy 4:3-4

The Bible declares that practically everyone on the face of the earth will worship the man of sin.

“And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast…And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.”
–Revelation 13:4,8

So many will be trying to get the mark of the beast, there will be long lines and people will fight to get it.

4- Because men do not have a love of the truth (God’s Word), almost all will be laboring under strong delusion.

“…because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”
–2Thessalonians 2:10-12

IF men had a love of the truth, they would believe God’s Word NOW over the words of science, doctors, government, history, other men, smiling wolves in sheep’s clothing, psychiatrists, experts, studies, polls and every other thing that sets itself up as a rival authority to God’s Word.

5- Most are unprepared for making this most important choice in their lives because many refuse to prepare for what God’s Word declares will soon come upon the earth.

IF a person believes they will never have to make a hard choice, then that person will be unprepared when that choice has to be made.

The deceitful workers in the churches maintain that “Why argue about the gathering together (rapture)? It is not a salvation issue.”

Au contraire.

IF a person does not believe the Word of God and believes only losers will be “left behind,” THEN a person does not have a love for the truth. ALL who do not have a love of the truth will be sent strong delusion. ALL who are sent strong delusion are “damned.”

And THAT is a “salvation issue.”

It’s important for the reader to keep in mind: ALL who value the truth above ALL ELSE will be saved. Those who follow the words of men will be lost. Those who follow the words of the rulers of the darkness of this world will be lost.

The mark of the beast is coming.

The reader will have to make a choice.

Will the reader lie to himself about this choice?

Which will the reader choose?

Time is Running Out: Today is the Day of Salvation

THE GOSPEL

“For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”
-—1 Corinthians 1:18-19

The Gospel is Hidden to Those who are Lost
