666 or 616
          

           Identifying "666" has been a hot topic in eschatology for many decades and as a result there has been ample speculation.  666 is often believed to be the actual "mark of the beast" but it is not.  And, there is still speculation as to whether the number was originally 616, 665, or 666.  The strongest research seems to point to 616 as being the original number as conducted by scholars at Oxford University in May of 2005 by using advanced imaging techniques on the earliest known record of the Book of Revelation, the Oxyrhynchus site (Papyrus 115).  The Oxyrhynchus significantly aligns with the Codex Alexandrinus (A) and the Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus (C) which are commonly believed as providing the best testimony to Revelation.  It is interesting to note that Irenaeus, a Catholic theologian (three generations removed from John the Revelator), dismissed the 616 number as a scribal error.

           Therefore, regardless of what Irenaeus wrote or what modern scholars have discovered, 666 (or 616) refers to the number value of the letters of the name of the Beast.  And, here too, many scholars have speculated whether or not 666 (or 616) was a number code that referred to Nero Caesar, Gaius Caliula Caesar, Vicarius Filii Dei, or some other personage in Roman times or to other Catholic Popes.  All these theories are intriguing but were excluded by John's own writings.  Find out why and how by reading this book.

            To truly identify the "mark of the beast" one must first identify the Beast including the "man of sin" or "son of perdition" (usually known as the antichrist), since the "man of sin" is not the Beast but speaks on behalf of the Beast and has power to enforce "beast" worship, institute a mandatory monetary system (mark of the beast), and give breath to the Beast to speak and kill any non-observers.  John gives a significant hint to help the wise reader identify the beast, the mark of the beast, the image of the beast and the name 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: 17 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. 18 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 

More attention will be given to this very important message in later chapters of this book.  However, the main point here is that a wise reader will be able to know, with a high degree of certainty, the identity of this beast by using a letter and number calculation method, which will equal 616 (or 666).  The commonly known methods for calculating names and words into number values are Gematria and Isopsephy.  The less commonly known calculating system is the abjad system (Arabic letter-number value system) and since it most likely that the Beast is the OIC (or the OIC reformed), the man of sin will most likely have an Arabic name, and the abjad system will most likely be needed to identify the Beast.    

The quantum leap for most readers will be to acquire the ability to apply these methods to names written in foreign languages.  For example an Arabic name has a name value in Arabic that is lost in translation when translated into English.  The individual calculating the number value must then take the English translated word and calculate letter values using a Hebrew, Arabic or Greek letter value conversion chart.  It is easy to see how true letter values (or name values) are quickly and easily lost in translation.  This would also apply to Turkish names, Greek names, Hebrew names, and so on.

“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, 10 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:” 

Revelation 14:9-10 

This proclamation announces a warning that if anyone worships the Image or receives his mark on the forehead or on the hand, they will suffer dire eternal consequences.  One can reasonably assume then, but not with 100% certainty, that the Image and Mark of the Beast is established directly after the Great Whore and all her daughters are destroyed. 

            Since the Mark of the Beast clearly relates to commerce, the imposition of and the transition to a new currency would be much easier after the decline and fall of the great economy (“city”) and all the other sub-economies (“cities”) around the world (built on debt).  For example, with economic collapse, a US dollar, EURO, Yen, et al. would no longer be an acceptable currency to buy or sell with.  Said currencies would have no value and no reserve, making it easier for Islam (Medo-Persia), with a "liquid cash" reserve, to introduce and enforce a new currency.  This currency could be easily transformed into a finger/iris print system linked to the OIC (or similar) currency.  Said currency will bear the name of the Beast, which will equal 616 (or 666), probably using the abjad system (Arabic letter-number value system to calculate) versus the Gematria or isopsephy systems.   Since most all surviving peoples of the earth will be extremely desperate, in every way, they will gladly accept the Mark of the Beast and worship his Image, no matter its source.  For many, they will see the Beasts efforts as humanitarian, a "bail out".  Others (believers with "ears to hear") will not. 

            As food for thought, the current cash card purchase system can easily fit the Mark of the Beast scenario as well.  A person cannot purchase using this system unless they carry the card (in their hand) and remember (forehead denotes memory) the pin number.  This system is readily used and accepted by all and for it to be utilized by the Beast is an easy transition with little resistance. 

There are a number of current world events that will undoubtedly precipitate the destruction of the Great Whore and all her daughters.  For example, financial wealth in the world is shifting.  This change began within the last forty-five (45) years.  It started after the birth of OPEC in 1960 with ten of the twelve OPEC members being members of the OIC.  OPEC has produced an extreme amount of wealth for OIC members, which depth and breadth of their wealth is not exactly known as it relates to liquid and fixed assets.  What is known is that in 1975 there was only one Islamic financial institution.  In 2005 there were over 300 Islamic financial institutions in more than seventy-five (75) countries with institutional assets in excess of $250 billion with an estimated growth at fifteen percent (15%).  Today’s (November 2007) estimated assets have already reached $500 billion.  By 2013, the estimated assets are expected to exceed $1 trillion with no end in sight and with the oil crisis, this will most likely increase at much faster rates. 

Islamic financial institutional growth is drawing the attention of big world banks and causing them to get involved with Islamic banking including Citigroup, HSBC and Deutsche Bank as well as financial capitals like London, Tokyo and Hong Kong.  Said banks are obviously interested in tapping into the estimated $1.5 trillion of funds sloshing around the Middle East.  Currently, the Al-Rajhi Bank is the world’s largest Islamic Bank with assets exceeding 13.5 billion SR with only fifty (50) years of history from its earliest beginnings.  This new Islamic financial phenomenon is shaking and will continue to shake the financial world. 

Recently Abu Dhabi, just one subsection of just one of the OIC member states, bailed-out the world’s most profitable bank, Citicorp in November 2007 due to a severe mortgage financing crisis they were going though.  Citicorp is the world’s second ranked shareholder equity bank; Citicorp is the world’s third ranked asset holder bank; Citicorp is the world’s fourth ranked market capitalization bank; and Citicorp is the world’s second ranked Tier 1 capital bank.  And, yes, Abu Dhabi bailed them out giving Abu Dhabi a sizeable ownership of Citicorp.  And the BBC announced on December 10, 2007 that Singapore and an anonymous Arabic bank just bailed out the HSBC with $12 billion in return for a sizeable ownership portion of HSBC.  This is just the beginning of what is to come. 

Unknowingly and certainly not intentionally, Satan, through his controlled Eighth Head, will execute YHVH’s plans regarding the destruction of the Great Whore.  The OIC through its membership and leaders are already beginning to quake the global financial world through its Islamic financial institutions that began shortly after the formation of OPEC and the OIC.  This power shift will eventually destroy the current world currency and economical system, which Islam hates.  Again, radical Islam, as portrayed in what Osama Ben Laden is trying to accomplish, truly wants to dominate the world religiously and subsequently politically and will not stop until this goal is achieved.  Osama believed, and rightly so, thought that if he could topple the world’s economy, he could topple the world powers.  But, where he went wrong was thinking that by bombing the World Trade Center he could break the world economy.  Osama was premature and misguided.  The world economic stage is not ready to crumble yet because the fullness of time has not yet come at it will not happen by demolishing one buidling.   

Radical Islam, although troubling to the world, will not prevent other more subtle economic power shifting that is already occurring.  The OIC, through its members, will continue to advance the following steps over the next eleven (11) years, whether currently planned or not, which will facilitate an earth shattering breakdown of commerce/economy like as never been seen since the dawn of human history: 

1.      Amass larger and larger ownership percentages of non-Islamic world banks especially as the economies they represent suffer periodic economic down turns, which are a direct result of volatile economies, which will result in more bail-outs.

2.      Continue to promote Islamic (OIC) “monopoly over economy” through terrorism and other more subtle methods.  Radical and conservative Muslims value Islam and its world-wide religious dominance over wealth, not that they would say no to wealth, but the priority is clearly Islamic dominance, even to the death.  Their cause is more important than money, economy, etc. 

3.      Develop an OIC currency (which can be interpreted as a “mark”), similar to what the EU did with their Euro.

4.      Convert petrodollars into the OIC currency.

5.      Threaten to turn off the oil taps to enforce the OIC agenda, if necessary.  Without oil the top three economies would fail and all the cities dependent on them.

6.      Eventually enforce an electronic OIC currency system that easily tracks and monitors all participants or non-participants.

7.      Employ a fingerprint and iris print system in conjunction with the OIC currency that can easily police and then exclude (by death) any non-participating individuals who have not and do not worship the Image of the Beast or take his mark.

July 28, 2008 Footnote: Since the writing of this book (2007), politicians around the world are now beginning to wake up concerning the recent greatest shift of wealth occurring in history and without a physical war.  Wealth is leaving the hands of "Christian" nations via oil purchases and going into the hands of Islamic nations, with no end in sight.  Actions to stop this transfer now is too late since any effects from policy changes made now will take us up to the 616 (or 666) event.
