I was watching on GodTV on their series Apocalypse and the End Times and one of their teachers suggested this possibility for the meaning of the mark of the beast, ie: 666 (which many symbolize to say 6 = number of man, etc etc). He said something to do the extent of this: John wrote down what he saw. This teacher suggested that John was not writing in greek, but aramaic. Since aramaic is read right to left, when reading the words that greek translates to '666', it literally translates, 'allah' - signifying that John was prophecying of the most dishonoring religion ever to wreck this planet - to say Jesus is not God and that He did not die on a Cross! anyways, thoughts?

Hmmm, never heard this before, but I would have to disagree and for this reason. Allah, is the arabic name for "god". Now, many will proclaim that the god of the muslims is the same god of the OT (YHWH). This is not true. If you look at the symbol for the muslims (Islam), it is the cresent moon and star. This symbol came from an adoption that they took in the 1400's. It actually represents "Allah, the moon god". This came at a period during the Ottoman empire. There is much history involved here and suggest you read about it further for yourself. But to get to the point, "666" is the name of the person who will proclaim himself to be a god. He will not share the spotlight with any other. The meaning behind the mark will be that of devotion and worship to this man proclaiming to be god. For Him to say that He is "Allah", he would lose the trust of the Jews in which he makes a peace treaty with...this couldn't happen. For the jews to accept him as a messiah, one would have to believe that this antichrist to come, may be jewish...This would go agaist the Koran and the muslims wouldn't accept if he said he was Allah. I believe that he will be Jewish, he will not proclaim to be any god we have ever heard of, he will exalt himself...this will fullfill the prophecy of Daniel. Daniel 11:36And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done. 37Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all. 38But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things. Hope this answers your question my friend. With love in Christ I read a version of the explanation yesterday in which 666 was the number of his names. He started with 7 names,all blasphemous, and eventually ended up with 666 names, one that would appeal to everyone, and that was the name you would have marked on your body. We all need to be careful here in the last days and pay attention, so that we don't get tricked into doing something that will have eternal consequences.

True believers can't be tricked into receiving the mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
