Six is the number of man. So, "666" means "man man man."
"Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666." (Revelation 13:18) Calculate is the word "pséphizó" and means "to count, calculate, reckon." The Lord is TELLING US the number already. So He Is encouraging us to CALCULATE the number--- determine how you arrive at this number or discover the purpose of this number.
The number "666" is not bad. It's telling you that this is the makeup of man. However, the antichrist will use the number 666 to make people believe that what is actually happening is of man and for the benefit of mankind. Each "6" represents an individual and specific deception.
THE FIRST "6"
"He"--- the false prophet/ Antichrist--- will have Israel and the rest of the world believing that the government system (beast out of the sea) of that day is a HUMAN system of government, When in fact, it will be TOTALLY inspired and run by demons and fallen angels. So The Lord is saying, "this is #NOTMAN--- not of a '6', while the beast and beast system says that it is. And if you understand "the 6" (man, nature of man, purpose and attributes of man), you will resist this, knowing that the alternative is that everything is thus inspired by demons, fallen angels, and Satan--- the SATANIC Triad or "trinity."
THE SECOND "6"
"He"---the false prophet/ Antichrist--- will have Israel and the rest of the world believing that "he" (the beast out of the earth) is a man (physically by gender), when I believe the scriptures give evidence that it will be a woman disguised as a man (transgender). So The Lord is saying, "this is #NOTMAN--- not a '6', while the beast and beast system says that it is. And if you understand "the 6" (man, nature of man, purpose and attributes of man), you will resist this, knowing that the alternative is that this is indeed inspired by demons, fallen angels, and Satan--- the SATANIC Triad or "trinity."
THE THIRD "6"
"He"--- the false prophet/ Antichrist--- will have Israel and the rest of the world believing that the IMAGE of the first beast is actually Moses, when it will only have the BODY of Moses. Understand what I and the scriptures are telling you. Satan disputed with Michael the archangel over the BODY of Moses.
Question:
Why did Satan even want the BODY of Moses? Because Israelites/Jews highly venerate Moses. Remember, during Yeshua's first coming, He was constantly accused of speaking against Moses. That was a HUGE contention amongst the Jews, because of their esteem for Moses and The Law. And that is what Satan is playing on. Notice, Satan is not contending for Moses's soul, or challenging his faith about why he did not cross over physically into The Promised Land. None of that. He was SPECIFICALLY after THE BODY--- MOSES'S BODY.
Next Question:
Why was there a contention over the body? And why did Michael say "The Lord rebuke you"? 1) Because Michael did not have authority OVER Satan (they're probably of equal rank), and 2) because Satan made a valid LEGAL case to be able to access and take the body. Well, we know that at the Mount of Transfiguration, Yeshua, in FULL glorified appearance, also brought forth the glorified bodies of Moses and Elijah. So, please understand that Moses's soul and spirit are not in the body that Satan took, nor will it be. But that's the deception--- making Israel believe that "their guy" (Moses) is back to lead them.
And notice that it is called the IMAGE of the first beast. That's a physical representation of the governmental system they will be under--- The Law of Moses. So it is only fitting to "revive" the body of the one who received it at Sinai--- i.e. Moses.
Mystery: If Satan did in fact retrieve the body of Moses, how did he preserve it? See, you get the impression that he indeed had that figured out. Understand that while WE (humans) progress in technological and biological discoveries (good or bad), the angelic host are not necessarily having to LEARN these things. In fact, in some cases, they inspire them.
So, John precisely writes the word "image," because though it will LOOK like a man, and function like a man, it will NOT actually be a man. Man is spirit, soul, and body. Demons do not have souls. And because they are the disembodied spirits of the Nephilim, they are (or were) half-human. So they will have the capacity to enter into and influence, animate, and or take over bodies. And because the body of Moses is human, the preservation makes it an accessible and usable vessel for demons--- yes, DEMONS--- PLURAL. (because as we've seen in the scriptures, a person can be possessed by multiple demons. See Mark 16:9)
So, The Lord is saying, "this is #NOTMAN--- not a '6', while the beast and beast system says that it is. And if you understand "the 6" (man, nature of man, purpose and attributes of man), you will resist this, knowing that the alternative is that this is indeed inspired by demons, fallen angels, and Satan--- the SATANIC Triad or "trinity."
THE WORD AND THE WORLD
The Convincing Display
Look at AI technology. Imagine if AI technology were used to put the entire Law of Moses into a robot. Imagine also if a demon were to possess the body to animate it. See, what I DO know about demons is that they seek to possess bodies. And while much of the population will have died from the seven seal judgments, and others removed (Raptured) beforehand, the access and authority that demons will have in order to be able to possess bodies will INCREASE. By the way, that's why all of this is called The Iron Kingdom as mentioned in Daniel 2 and Daniel 7.
Iron represents the Roman Empire in the physical sense, but also represents demon spirits. "Iron sharpens iron..." is not just about someone sharp helping another sharpen. It is also a DIRECT spiritual mystery of what was, what is, and what is to come--- that is, the "iron" of demons sharpening the iron of the revived Roman Empire.
Remember, ALL of this is to keep Israel (primarily Israel's government) from turning to Yeshua, and giving Him His throne in Jerusalem.
You have to understand that ALL of this is happening under satanic rule, to keep Israel deceived into accepting, worshipping, and being ruled over by a FALSE Messiah. And why? Because Satan and the fallen angels know that as soon as Yeshua, Israel's TRUE Messiah takes the throne in Jerusalem, they must THEN be taken to the lake of fire, as they will no longer have legal access, authority, or jurisdiction in Heaven OR on earth. And this is why it says "And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. (Revelation 12:7-10)" And I should point out that I do not believe that this war/fighting was anything combative, but rather a LEGAL fight; a war of words and counsel, legality, access, authority, and jurisdiction, where all parties (angels) must stand before THE MOST HIGH JUDGE and present their cases to be JUSTLY, FIRMLY, and ETERNALLY resolved. And in this very matter, Michael's proclamation to Satan of "The Lord rebuke you" will take place during this "fight".
Now, IF you are a believer and follower of The Lord Yeshua, believe HIS promise to Rapture ALL of God's People, as a removal from the indignation and wrath which is to come (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; Isaiah 26:18-21, 1 Thessalonians 5:9), then you NEVER have to fear receiving the mark of the beast or the number of his name. You will not even be around to see it, which also means that both historically and contemporarily, while there have been some evil and suspicious things done by oppressive governments and rulers, none of those were the marks and numbers being spoken of in Revelation 13.
And I'll leave you with this to ponder: And the mark AND number may very well be some type of vaccine or medical implant used to preserve life, reduce aging, and/or restore health, especially because of the WONDER it will be to see MOSES. Imagine them using his body as a source of study and anatomical "root" of stem cells for biogenetic replication. And with the stigma that is set around the number "666," there may very well be the usage of another number in its place--- 777,888, or 999 (which is 666 upside down)--- to help persuade the acceptance of this life and genetically altering MARK AND NUMBER. So, it's like having a vaccine called "Moses 1998." (1998 is 666x3)

So there's some illumination into the mystery and calculation of 666, what it is, why it is, and what and who is behind it, as well as some things for you to ponder. Please take everything to prayer and meditation, leaving room for The Holy Spirit to minister to you to verify, validate, clarify, sharpen or refute the information and insight I've given. If you are not yet a believer in The Lord Yeshua to take advantage of forgiveness of sins, acceptance into His Kingdom, and eternal, if encourage you to ASK HIM right now, where you stand. He is waiting, listening, and inviting you into His glorious life of peace, joy, and righteousness.
