The mark of the Beast is the number of a man, and the number is six hundred sixty six. Not three sixes side by side, not three six pointed stars, not convoluted math where June six '24 was somehow 666.
Six hundred threescore (a score = 20) and six.
Also, just to thicken the soup, I believe some early manuscripts have the number at 616 (six hundred sixteen).
You are correct. In the greek it is χξϛ.
χ = 600
ξ = 60
ϛ = 6
It is six hundred and sixty-six, not six-six-six.
Everything you say is true. But symbolism doesnt always follow truth to the letter. They use 6-6-6 as a symbol frequently.
But those wouldn't be the "Real Mark of the Beast" as the post title claims, and even you imply that 'they' are deviating from truth in their symbolism.
One possible explanation for the number 666 could be the sum of integers from 1 to 36. When arranged in a "magic square" of side 6, the sum of integers in each row and column equals 111, and the total sum is 666.
A "magic square" of side 6? Oy vey.
The 6x6 magic square is associated with the Sun, see e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_square#Europe_after_15th_century But i don't see how the Beast from Revelations would be associated with the Sun in any way.
Thanks. Now that I see the link I remember learning about that once. I just didn't realize that's what you were referring to. I don't think it has any connection to Revelation's Beast though.
