SELaplana >> Church >> The Beast and his Number 666

Short Review of the lessons learned from the previous articles

On my previous article, I promised that the next article that I would write would talk about the first members of the church of the false prophets (which is the Catholic Church) which started to exist right after the death of the apostles (see my article, “The Start of the Existence of the False Prophets”). However, I decided that I would be writing about that topic on my future articles because I want to tackle first on this article the truth about the Second Beast and its number, 666.

We already had learned that the Second Beast mentioned in Revelation 13:11 has identifying marks. Three of these identifying marks are: (1) has two horns; (2) like the lamb; and (3) speaks like the dragon. And these identifying marks are all found in the Pope of the Catholic Church (see my article, “The Second Beast, The False Prophets”).

I thought that these three identifying marks are already enough for us to be convinced that the Pope of the Catholic Church is really the Second Beast or the False Prophet. But a reader of our previous articles argued that the Second Beast has the number 666. And according to her, if the Pope is really the Second Beast, then the Pope should have the number 666.

The number 666

The book of Revelation mentioned the number 666 as the number of the Beast. This is what has been written:

Here is a 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, NKJV)

Well, there are lots of people whose names are equal to the number 666. For example, the name “Juan Avinas De la Cruz” is equal to 666. That’s the name of my classmate.

J=0
U(V)=5
A=0
N=0
A=0
V=5
I=1
N=0
A=0
S=0
D=500
E=0
L=50
A=0
C=100
R=0
U(V)=5
Z=0

Summing them all: 5+5+1+500+50+100+5 is equal to 666.

However, I am sure that my classmate, Juan Avinas De la Cruz, is not the false prophet or the beast mentioned in the book of Revelation because he only has the number 666 but the other identifying marks are not in him.

Remember that the number 666 is not just the identifying marks of the beast given on that book of Revelation. Even if a certain person’s name is equal to 666 if he doesn’t have the other identifying marks of the beast, then he couldn’t be the beast referred to by the book of the Revelation.

Now, since the Catholic Pope have these three identifying marks of the Second Beast, then let’s examine if the Catholic Pope has the number 666.

Of course we knew that there are several dozens of Catholic Priests who became the Catholic Pope. So, our focus is not on the particular person who became the Pope of the Catholic Church but on the Pope itself. In other words, we’ll be dealing here the title of the Pope and let’s find out if it is equal to 666.

But Catholics might argue that what was mentioned in the book of revelation is that the number 666 is the number of the beast’s name as stated on Revelation 13:17 which says:

And that no one may buy or sell except on who has the mark of the name of the beast, or the number of his name. (Revelation 13:17, NKJV)

It might be true that what was written was that the number 666 is the number of the name of the beast. However, the term “Name” mentioned on this verse doesn’t always refer to the proper name of a man. Take note of this verse:

And he has on his robe and on his thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS, (Revelation 19:16, NKJV)

The quoted verse uses the term “Name”. But then the name that was written is not the proper name but the title. In other words, the term “Name” also means title.

And just like what I already said earlier, we are talking here about the Catholic Pope. So our focus will not be on the proper name of the Catholic Priests who became the Catholic Pope, but on the titles used by the Catholic Pope.

And according to the Catholic Encyclopedia the Catholic Pope used several titles like “Vicar of Christ”, “Vicar of St. Peter”, “Vicar of the Apostolic See”, etc..

In the course of the ages other vicarial designations have been used for the pope, as Vicar of St. Peter and even Vicar of the Apostolic See (Pope Gelasius, I, Ep. vi), but the title Vicar of Christ is more expressive of his supreme headship of the Church on earth, (www.newadvent.org/cathen/15403b.htm)

The titles “Vicar of St. Peter” and the “Vicar of the Apostolic See” could not be equated to 666. We should also take note that the title “Vicar of Christ” is equivalent to the titles: “Vicar of Jesus Christ”, “Vicar of God” and “Vicar of the Son of God”. “Vicar of Jesus Christ” and “Vicar of God” in Latin couldn’t be equated to 666. However, the title “Vicar of the Son of God” in Latin, “Vicarius Filii Dei” could be equated to 666.

Why should we translate first the title “Vicar of the Son of God” to Latin before summing their equivalent numbers? Well, the reason is: Latin is the official Language of the Roman Catholic Church and also of her version of the Bible, Vulgata.

But Catholics might argue that “Vicar of the Son of God” is not the official (word for word) title of the Pope.

Well, they can deny it but the fact that “Vicar of the Son of God” is the same as “Vicar of Christ” which is the one of the official Pope’s (word for word) title, is already clear that the Pope is really claiming to be the “Vicar of the Son of God”. It was even written in book of Pope John Paul II, “Crossing the Threshold of Hope” in page 3 that he (Pope) “represents the Son of God”.

Now, if the Pope represents the Son of God, then it is true that he is the representative of the Son of God. In other words, he is the Vicar of the Son of God. Since “Vicar of the Son of God” or “Vicarius Filii Dei” in Latin is equal to 666, therefore, the Pope really has the number 666.

The identifying marks of the Beast

With the addition of the number of the Beast, 666, we now have found 5 identifying marks of the beast that are all found in the Catholic Pope:

1. two horns (read my article, The Second Beast, The False Prophet)
2. like the lamb (read my article, The Second Beast, The False Prophet)
3. speaks like the dragon (read my article, The Second Beast, The False Prophet)
4. he gave the people the mark on their right hand or on the forehead (read my article, The Followers of the False Prophets)
5. number 666

Actually, there are many identifying marks of the false prophets that we haven’t yet taken up. But I will be writing about them on my future articles. And just like these 5 identifying marks that we already had taken up, those other identifying marks that we will be talking on my future articles are all found in the Catholic Pope.
