Everyone knows what that means. The mark of the beast. There have been a lot of speculations going around about it for centuries, or more. Since it was written.
In Holy Scripture, in prophecy 7 represents divine completeness. "The 7 lampstands," "The 7 congregations," etc. Referring to all as a whole.
6 is, of course, 1 less than 7. Thus if 7 is divine perfection 6 is imperfection.
The number misses the mark. It is not complete. You get 6 and then 6 and then 6, or 600, 60, and 6, you really have an imperfect system.
The 666 system is really mankind's rulership. And the mark of the beast (human ruler-ship) is simply everyone and anyone involved in politics anywhere in the world.
Do you vote,or run in elections? Do you pledge allegiance to a certain flag in a certain country? Do you participate in the military in any form, in any country, really you have the mark of the beast.
Most so-called false "Christian" religions will not tell you this because, you know, most so-called Christian religions part of "Christendom" (Christian religions that take part in politics) if they recognized this truth, they would be condemning themselves. As they rightly should.
Actually that was a digression. This information has been known for a very very long time.
What I find interesting is the number of books in the Holy Scriptures themselves. 66.
It is true that all Scripture is inspired of God and make the man of God completely equipped for every good work.
There is nothing lacking in them for our time.
But they are not complete.
To make them divnely fulfilled we need 11 more, to make 77.
Those 11 new books or "scrolls" are yet to be written, and are for the future.
(Revelation 20:12) . . .And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and scrolls were opened. But another scroll was opened; it is the scroll of life. The dead were judged out of those things written in the scrolls according to their deeds.
