Seeing More of 666 in Scripture
Mike,
The other day I saw a reference to 666 online and out of the blue, I thought – “What Isa 666 in the new testament?” So I counted off my fingers 4 gospels, Acts and then of course Romans. Rom 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
There is a certain beauty in the way things work out.

Hi L____,
That really is amazing. Especially in the light of Ecc 3:18, of which you are apparently already aware:
Ecc 3:18 I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.
666 is the number of the beast because it is the spiritual number of mankind, who was created on the sixth day along with all the rest of the beasts on earth. ‘He himself is a beast,’ hence his thrice repeated number, indicating the process of His judgment. Three being the number in scripture which is associated with the process of God’s judgment. See Numbers In Scripture on iswasandwillbe. com.
Here is that verse in Revelation, from the Concordant Literal Version:
Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has a mind calculate the number of the wild beast, for it is the number of mankind, and its number is six hundred sixty- six.”
So according to Ecc 3:18 we are all born with the number of mankind in what we do (right hand) and what we think (forehead).
Your brother in Christ,
Mike
