Counting the Number of the Beast

 

There are three Bible verses that speak to count or counting in the King James; these verses are the keys to understanding God’s wisdom regarding the beast. The KJB Revelation 13:18 verse is specific to the beast, it is the one-time that God tells us to count. The KJB Psalm 87:6 verse, is the one-time that the LORD counts. The KJB Ecclesiastes 7:27 verse, is the one-time where we are told how to count.

KJB 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.

We are instructed to count the number of the beast. It is the number of a man and his number is 666. The beast number is 666 (his number); what is “the number of a man?” there are two separate numbers.

KJB Psalm 87:6  The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Se’lah.

The LORD shall count – It must be numbers, a date.
He writeth up the people – It must be their name.
That this man was born there – God then confirmed that it is a man, a place, a date.
Numbers, name, man, born – The birth date of a man; for example 8/31/1985 = .00013000731.
God’s count, the birth date of a man ties in with KJB Revelation 13:18; the number of a man (not three numbers).

KJB Ecclesiastes 7:27  Behold, this I have found, saith the preacher, counting one by one, to find out the account:

Chapter 7 of Ecclesiastes is the 666th chapter in the KJB.
The word “Behold” in Chapter 7, is the 666th time “Behold” is spoken in the KJB.

Out of nowhere; the 666th “Chapter” and 666th mention of “Behold” pops up in God’s word. No real reason can be seen for this verse to fall right there, other than, it is the 666 chapter, and 666 time behold is mentioned (KJB Ecclesiastes 7:27). This verse corresponds directly with KJB Revelation 13:18 and the number 666, where we are told to count the number of the beast.

Take note: Counting is mentioned one time in the KJB.

God Gives Us Understanding Regarding His Count

The day Jesus was born has been debated and argued among scholars, theologians, professors, teachers, pastors and so on. There is no resolution, no firm understanding, no date confirmed; only vanity and lies.

We search God’s words in the King James Bible, the Final Authority, and here is our conclusion on this matter; Jesus was born on the day our just God and our Saviour would count Himself, given His absolute wisdom, knowledge, power, and final authority.

KJB Colossians 1:14-15  In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
15  Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

KJB Romans 8:29  For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

Jesus was born on 1/1/1=1, the One true God; the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Three in One.

The number of God is “1”, the number of Jesus as a man is “1” (Jesus, the first “number of a man”); proving “the number of a man” in regards to (KJB Revelation 13:18); not three numbers but one. And the LORD shall count, with all knowledge, power and authority (KJB Psalm 87:6); and behold, this we have found, counting one by one, (a firm foundation) to find out the account, (KJB Ecclesiastes 7:27).

God uses these three verses to bring clarity and understanding, when counting the number of the beast.

Counting

In counting the number of the beast, we ONLY use prime numbers, (see Prime Numbers content page) corresponding to the letters of a person, place, or thing. All prime numbers are only divisible by itself and one, counting one by one (KJB Ecclesiastes 7:27).

For example: John Doe; 1-D, 1-E, 1-H, 1-J, 1-N, 2-O

Add the numbers  7+11+19+29+43+94 = 203;  203 is the forward prime number count for John Doe; we use prime numbers forward from 2 to 101 or reverse primes from 101 to 2 to match with the alphabet. The reverse primes for John Doe is 403.

Counting Primes

Counting the word “Primes” equals 256 with forward primes and 256 with reverse primes (only God could plan this both ways). This confirms to us that God uses primes with both forward and reverse to count the number of the beast. The (2)56 represents the “2” ways “to” count (forward and reverse) and the 2(56) represents the “56” times “Satan” is mentioned in the King James Bible. Satan “the dragon” that old serpent, which is the devil, gives his power, authority, and seat to the beast for the final forty two months (The Great Tribulation).

Prime numbers are defined as, its only factors are one and itself; or another way, divisible only by itself and one. One being the constant denominator, counting one by one in every number we used to count the number of the beast, and find the number of a man.

God counts one time; He asks us to count one time; He tells us how to count one time. We then match God’s given number 666 with his name (the beast); and we match our found numbers to God’s count, (the birth date of the beast) as the number of a man. Counting one by one in both cases; we find, we then give the “account,” (a narrative, a statement of facts, a written conclusion) KJB Ecclesiastes 7:27.

These Three Verses are Key

These three verses, are the keys to unlocking the understanding of how to count the number of the beast;

KJB 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 and threescore and six.

KJB Psalm 87:6  The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Se’lah.

KJB Ecclesiastes 7:27  Behold, this I have found, saith the preacher, counting one by one, to find out the account:

Satan has inspired men to make revisions, so to cause confusion and ignorance, as the end approaches.

Please review the following, as we compare the King James Bible to the modern versions.

Summary

These three verses that speak to count or counting, are totally different in the modern versions; there is no way anyone can come to the same conclusion. The modern versions have and will continue to cause confusion and ignorance. It is almost like they want you dumbed down, unable to count the beast, to keep us asleep, in slumber as the end approaches.

Well, it’s the “day dawn” and time to wake up; because that is exactly what Satan has done here and why. A simple mind could come to this conclusion, even a scholarly mind, a professor’s mind, a genius; only a greatly deceived mind, would not see Satan’s hand in all this, and would argue against this evidence.

KJB Job 6:25  How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing reprove?

As the return of Jesus comes into focus, we will continue to keep our eye on the devil / dragon, and his ministers of righteousness. The lies will become clearer, as the “day dawn” moves in our hearts. It is “now” when the pure words of the living God, the Holy Bible, will be critical to give us clarity and truth.

Modern versions will lie in wait to deceive.

Simply put, the lies in modern versions are meant to keep us asleep / dumbed down, as to the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ; as are many other lies found in modern translations. God has given us understanding, as this site will attest to.
