As anyone who is a new Bible student quickly learns, the meaning of six hundred sixty six (666) is derived from the number and mark of the Beast Power discussed in the book of Revelation.

The number 666 symbolizes the perfection of man's overall system that is separated from God and under the constant influence of Satan the devil.

Six in the Bible represents, by itself, incompleteness or imperfection, as it is one less than seven (which symbolizes completeness).

Man's system on earth is made up of three parts, each represented by a six in the numeric 666.

The first six of the number 666 means the perfectly false religions of man under Satan's lead.

The devil is the god of this world, and allowed to deceive mankind, until the return of Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 4:3-4).

The second six is for the deceived false governments of this world.

The third six of 666 is symbolic of mankind's self-centered economic system. 

The number 666 represents the world and all that it does to appease and gratify human nature.

The book of 1 John (written by the apostle John who also wrote Revelation) contains an often-overlooked set of three verses that uses a subtle form of 6.

This hidden form of six, found in the total times the word 'world' is used, warns believers to separate themselves from man's system which is soon to die (John 2:15-17).

Appearances of the number six-hundred sixty-six

In order to show that the book of Revelation was inspired, Ireneaus (120-202 AD), an early church apologist, noted that he had consulted the 'most approved and ancient copies' of Revelation for verification of this mystical numeric.

How is the number 666 related to wealth?

King Solomon, after assuming the throne of Israel upon his father David's death, soon became wealthy.

Although money streamed to him due to the heavy taxation of the Israelites (see 1 Kings 4:24), it was the gold that came to him through a variety of other ways that made him the richest man alive.

Every year he received 666 talents of gold (1 Kings 10:14-15), a figured confirmed by the first century historian Josephus (Antiquities of the Jews, Book 8, Chapter 7).

Additional info on the Biblical Meaning of 666

Three people in the Bible stand out as special adversaries of God and his people.

They are Goliath the giant who fought King David, King Nebuchadnezzar of the Babylonian Empire and the End Time Antichrist.

Each, in one way or another, has the mark of this special numeric.

Goliath, who fought David when he was quite young, had a height of 6 cubits, had 6 pieces of armor, and his spear's head weighed 600 shekels of iron (1 Samuel 17:4-7).

Nebuchadnezzar, the great King of Babylon, set up a "golden image" in the plain of Dura.

He commanded all who he ruled over to worship it or else be thrown into a furnace of fire.

The idol was 60 cubits high and 6 cubits wide (Daniel 3:1).

The last special adversary is the Antichrist, whose name numbers to 666 (Revelation 13:18).

REFINED IN THE FIRE - Perhaps you feel like you’re in a refiner’s fire — feeling the heat of setbacks, illness, or other challenges. But hardship is often the process by which God purifies the gold of our faith. In our pain we might beg God to quickly end the process, but He knows what’s best for us, even when life hurts. Keep connected to the Savior, seeking His comfort and peace. We can embrace by faith the record of Scripture and the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives as evidence of the truth of what we’ve not seen but believed “For we live by faith, not by sight” “These trials will show that your faith is genuine.” Twenty-four–karat gold is nearly 100 percent gold with few impurities. But that percentage is difficult to achieve. Refiners most commonly use one of two methods for the purification process. The Miller process is the quickest and least expensive, but the resulting gold is only about 99.95 percent pure. The Wohlwill process takes a little more time and costs more, but the gold produced is 99.99 percent pure. In Bible times, refiners used fire as a gold purifier. Fire caused impurities to rise to the surface for easier removal. In his first letter to believers in Jesus throughout Asia Minor (northern Turkey), the apostle Peter used the gold-refining process as a metaphor for the way trials work in the life of a believer. At that time, many believers were being persecuted by the Romans for their faith in Christ.

“These trials will show that your faith is genuine.” - 1 Peter 1:7 NLT

Twenty-four–karat gold is nearly 100 percent gold with few impurities.

But that percentage is difficult to achieve.

Refiners most commonly use one of two methods for the purification process.

The Miller process is the quickest and least expensive, but the resulting gold is only about 99.95 percent pure.

The Wohlwill process takes a little more time and costs more, but the gold produced is 99.99 percent pure.

In Bible times, refiners used fire as a gold purifier.

Fire caused impurities to rise to the surface for easier removal.

In his first letter to believers in Jesus throughout Asia Minor (northern Turkey), the apostle Peter used the gold-refining process as a metaphor for the way trials work in the life of a believer.

At that time, many believers were being persecuted by the Romans for their faith in Christ.

Peter knew what that was like firsthand.

But persecution, Peter explained, brings out the “genuineness of [our] faith” (1 Peter 1:7).

Perhaps you feel like you’re in a refiner’s fire — feeling the heat of setbacks, illness, or other challenges.

But hardship is often the process by which God purifies the gold of our faith.

In our pain we might beg God to quickly end the process, but He knows what’s best for us, even when life hurts.

Keep connected to the Savior, seeking His comfort and peace.

What challenges have you faced that led to your growth? How did you respond to them?

Father God, help me see how the trials of my life bring out the gold in me.

INSIGHT

In 1 Peter 1:8, Peter is reinforcing an important idea that goes back to the gospel of John.

In John 20:29, the risen Christ said to Thomas, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

That includes all in our generation who have followed Jesus.

While we weren’t present when He was physically on this earth, we can embrace by faith the record of Scripture (1 Corinthians 15:3–4) and the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives (Romans 8:16) as evidence of the truth of what we’ve not seen but believed (John 16:13–15).

As Paul wrote, “For we live by faith, not by sight” - (2 Corinthians 5:7).
