This pattern is found in Revelation 13

and 17; the verses of each chapter

make a parallel that combines all

the elements, in which both halves

contribute separate elements not

found in the other half that make

the prophecy complete, and this

combined chiastic linking, provides

a template that is matched to what

is found in history.



The chiastic link to the

number 666 found in

Revelation 13:18 is “Wisdom”

and is found in

Revelation 17:9, and 10.

These verses combined,

explain this number.

Revelation 1

1. The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:

2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.

3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.



Revelation 22

6. And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.

7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.



8 And I John saw these things, and heard them.



9 ...I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.







Revelation 13

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 17

9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.













Foreword



The pattern of Revelation is obvious, once it is observed; There are precise parallel patterns throughout the book. These are chiastic links that repeat the same words, or say the same things. Among these common words or meanings, are other elements that combine to form a complete prophecy. These chiastic links point directly to the parts of the prophecy that are to explain each other. Each successive vision in the series adds more detail.

This is found in Revelation 13 and 17; the verses of each chapter make a parallel that combines all the elements, in which both halves contribute separate elements not found in the other half that make the prophecy compete, and this combined chiastic linking, provides a template that is matched to what is found in history.

The chiastic word link to the number 666 found in Revelation 13:18 is “Wisdom” and it is found in Revelation 17:9. These verses combined, explain this number. For those who have seen the movie “Contact” starring Eleanor, played by Jodie Foster, who insightfully merges two images on transparencies, each bearing a part of an encrypted message from outer space, and form a whole message, this interpretation of the number 666 has done exactly that; it has taken the written pattern embedded in Revelation, merged them, and then merged that with a perfect match in history, leaving only the end that remains to be fulfilled.





Revelation 13:18

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.
