We've all heard that, in the book of Revelation, the number of the Beast is 666.
Whatever does this mean?
And if the Beast has a number, do others?
Does the name of Jesus have a number?
Does the name of God have a number?
Here's the story. . . .
Modern Numbers
Today we are used to having a different set of characters to represent letters and numbers.
Our alphabet of letters runs from A to Z, and our system of numbers--or basic numbers--runs from 0 to 9.
But in the ancient world they didn't have two sets of characters for these. Instead, the letters of their alphabets doubled as characters representing numbers.
Latin Numbers
That's why, for example, Roman numerals are composed of letters.
In Latin, some of the letters did double duty as numbers, so I meant 1, V meant 5, X meant 10, L meant 50, C meant 100, D meant 500, and M meant 1,000.
To get other numbers you had to combine these in various ways, like using II for 2, III for 3, and IV for 4.
What about the number of the Beast and the number of Jesus?

Man was made on the sixth day. The number for man is 6. To repeat something three times is to really mean it. 666 = man man man. It is by humanism (the religion of the beast) that we will know him. There is no complicated formula for understanding 666 any early Jewish Christian would without explanation. It is the will of man and his passions over riding the will of God. It is too simple.
In a book titled “Theomatics” which I read several years ago, I read that the number of JESUS is 888
In a book called “the Bible” which I continue to read I find no “number” for Jesus. I do find several instances of seven representing completness as to Jehovah’s purposes; that suggests that 666 means anything less: Satan’s or man’s efforts. A reminder, if we choose to heed it, that Original Sin consisted of two parts: calling Jehovah a liar when he said that his rules were for man’s benefit, and agreeing with Satan that man could rule himself. So 666 could (and IMO does) apply to the system of things that man has built for himself, especially as to his governments. That would indicate why the model prayer Jesus gave us asks for ‘his kingdom government to come to earth, as it already is in heaven.’ It will, we’re told, at Dan 2:44 and Rev 16:16.
And Jesus already has a fine name: in Hebrew, Joshua or Yehoshua, meaning ‘Jehovah is salvation’. Do we need anything more?
Hello numerology fans. 666 is NOT the number of the beast, it’s the MARK. John who wrote Revelation in Koine Greek, was knowledgeful of Hebrew (he had a handful of Hebrew words in REV) and to properly record what he saw from his vision- he incorporated multiple WWW’s from Hebrew which meant/represented numbers 616 or 666. He saw WWW. as the mark. The 12 page paper I wrote and submitted through Catholic Clergy channels made it to the Vatican and I was told, “It could be right.” And a interview panel may be forthcoming. Anyway, it’s published in a book, “Revelation, WWW is 666” I also did the Cave religious/philosophical art translation for Chauvet UNESCO’s site. Effectively pushing back the dawn of religion 15,000 years. They are posted free online, google, “Chauvet Daryl Breese”. Enjoy, AND time spent pursuing numerology is TIME better spent in prayer. That being said Jesus’ number would probably be Numero Uno, or Three In One. God Bless.
Hello all,
You can search on Google for Greek and Hebrew Gematria of the century of Jesus time, Jesus number is 888, in the Greek Jesus name is IESOUS which means the fish, contributed to his miracle of the loafs and fishes and that equates to a number in Greek Gematria and that number equals 888.
There is a number for God also it is 777, I cannot remember the name there are many version but it is correct because Gods Holy Number is 7, the Seventh day of the week is Saturday and that is God’s chosen day of rest his Holy Day for the JEWISH worship and Fathers Seven Mansions that are in Heaven are above the Holy City of Jerusalem and Fathers Seventh Mansion is his Holy Mansion where he works out, plans and foresees the Future Holy for this Prophets and Saints etc.
JESUS is Holier than Father, Jesus is the most purest of creation and so thus Father holds him above himself and thus makes him a number greater than himself thus the 888.
Want to know who I am, JESUS is returning soon so very very soon, if all falls into place in the Middle East and the muslim spring then it will be this year still before Christmas, allah is fuming he has lost all his spiritual power that he has built up from his false worship and his way of getting that worship is just like ours in Heaven the heart, we think we have blocked it completely now if, so then satan is helpless he has no more support all his other support from his cronies has been stripped of him just has to be reduced to a mere mortal with no power left.
