Who Is This Beast Mentioned In Revelation 13:18? - 666!

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."

Can someone please elaborate on that?

PLEASE READ THE WHOLE TEXT PROPERLY. THIS IS NOT A JOKE!

Revelation 13:1-18; "1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
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."

If it is not biblical, then it is paganism. Very simple. I've already showed you a verse where Jesus went to the temple on God's Sabbath. That was two thousand years even before Ellen G White was born. So it is a teaching stated and based in the Bible.

It is not a SDA theory. If you want I can share verses with you which showed the Apostles of God observing the True Sabbath of God.

Maybe YOU Waqa, DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THE BIBLE MEANS BY FULFILLING THE LAW. FULFILLING MEANS TO OBSERVE OR FOLLOW WHAT THE LAW SAYS.

"If ye FULFILL the ROYAL LAW according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:

But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.

For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all."James 2:8-10

"Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the LAW: for sin is the transgression of the LAW." 1 John 3:4

WELL THE BIBLE ID CLEAR HERE. SIN IS BREAKING THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF WHICH THE OBSERVANCE OF THE SEVENTH DAY AS GOD'S SABBATH IS A PART OF IT.

This is laughable because you really don't know the scriptures, fulfillment just by observing them is that what Jesus did in fulfilling God's Covenant? That is a very poor exegesis of the Bible.

You don't really know how to see the messianic prophecies in the scriptures all you could see is that the Bible can be only explained by the DOGMA of your Church, which is why you cannot look other ways.

Jesus and Paul didn't encourage anyone to observe the Sabbath, Paul's letter to the Colossians 2:16 LET NOONE JUDGE YOU BY THE .....SABBATH.

Your doctrine says It is the other sabbath because, on that case, you want to use the KJV which was translated from the Catholic Latin Bible written by Jarome, endorsed by the pope. The KJV says SABBATHS, while other translations say SABBATH.

If you want to be a good Bible teacher then you should also have a good English language knowledge.

What I meant by observing is a biblical way of saying to keep or pay attention to.

Here is a definition of the word OBSERVE found in some dictionaries around you:
Also found in: Thesaurus, Medical, Legal, Acronyms, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia.

ob·serve

(əb-zûrv′)

v. ob·served, ob·serv·ing, ob·serves

[Middle English observen, to conform to, from Old French observer, from Latin observāre, to abide by, watch : ob-, over; see ob- + servāre, to keep, watch; see ser- in Indo-European roots.]

ob·serv′ing·ly adv.

Synonyms: observe, keep, celebrate, commemorate, solemnize
These verbs mean to give proper heed to or show proper reverence for something, such as a custom or holiday. Observe and keep stress compliance or respectful adherence to that which is prescribed: observes the Sabbath; keeps the holiday traditions. Celebrate emphasizes observance in the form of rejoicing or festivity: a surprise party to celebrate her birthday. To commemorate is to honor the memory of a past event: a ceremony that commemorated the career of a physician. Solemnize implies dignity and gravity in the celebration of an occasion: solemnized the funeral with a 21-gun salute.

"Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:

Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ." Colossians 2:16-17

It's good talking to you Waqa because as we go on I will be revealing to you a lot of truths that have been misinterpreted by many denominations.

What Paul meant by the above verses in Colossians is Church Doctrines. You see the word 'is' in verse 17 is in Italics which means that it was not in the original Scripture but was added later by translators.

Put that 'is' away and you will have a totally different meaning from the same verses which in fact is the intended meaning meant by Paul the Apostle of God.

What Paul meant here was that all queries pertaining to what should be eaten and how the Sabbaths of God should be observed is to be determined only by the Body of Christ which is the Church.

Shadow of things to come is depicted in the Seven Annual High Sabbaths of God and even in the weekly Sabbath.

I'll share those with you in my next comment.

God gave His Church Seven Annual Sabbaths, God, in His wisdom, had a great purpose. These days, too, were given to keep God’s children in the true memory and worship of God by keeping us constantly in the understanding of God’s great plan of redemption. For these annual days picture the different epochs in the plan of spiritual creation,mark the dispensations, and picture their meaning.

The whole story of spiritual regeneration was, in these feast days, to be reenacted year after year continually. They have vitally important symbolism and meaning about what is coming.

God’s feasts, or holy days, or sabbaths, were commanded to be kept year after year, and forever!We ask the reader to retain an open mind, for we shall prove that forever, in this case, means forever!

Thus God purposed to impress the truths these “high” sabbaths picture upon all the minds of His children through all time, keeping His Church in the true understanding of His plan!

The seven days of the feast of Unleavened Bread picture the keeping of the Commandments, which is another way of saying the putting away of sin.

Numbers 28:16-17: “In the fourteenth day of the first month is the passover of the Lord. And in the fifteenth day of this month is the FEAST: seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten.”

"For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:

Therefore LET US KEEP THE FEAST, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth." 1 Corinthians 5:7-8

THERE IS BLACK AND WHITE OF GOD INSTRUCTION IN THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT INSTRUCTING HIS CHILDREN TO KEEP HIS SABBATHS!

Scripture shows years after the Crucifixion of Christ that the Annual Sabbath of God still exists and observed by God's faithful children

"And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)" Acts 12:3

"And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread,." Acts 20:6

Now what will your church say Waqa? You accuse me of using Dogma and tenet to explain the Bible. For now what will you accuse me with now after showing you Scriptures backing the observance of God's Sabbaths?
