Satan’s 666 numerical signature is represented in various manifestations. This article will present some examples in which Satan’s 666 signature is already present in this world, and how to calculate and identify his number.

REVELATION 13:18 (NKJV):
Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.

Scripture instructs those with wisdom to CALCULATE the number of the beast.

The Antimessiah (Antichrist) and the False Prophet will rule from Rome. These are all the Roman numbers: MDCLXVI. Add up (calculate) all the different Roman numerals and the total = 1,666. Exclude the Roman numeral M = 1,000 and the total equals 666.

D (500) + C (100) + L (50) + X (10) + V (5) + I (1) = 666

REVELATION 13:1 (NKJV):
Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name.

What is this “blasphemous name” on the “heads” of the beast? It is the crown worn upon the heads of the Catholic popes throughout the ages that bears a blasphemous inscription with a Roman numerical equivalent that equals 666. Vicarius Filii Dei (Latin: Vicar or representative of the Son of God) is inscribed on the Catholic pope’s crown and is the blasphemous name spoken of in Revelation 13:1. The Catholic pope is not Messiah’s (Christ’s) vicar or representative on Earth.

The Roman numerals in VICARIVS FILII DEI are (CAPS) VICarIVs fILII DeI. Remove the Roman numerals from the Roman letters: VICIV ILII DI. ‘V’ is substituted for ‘U,’ as U is used in English, but not in the Roman alphabet. If you add up (calculate) the Roman numerical value inscribed upon the Catholic pope’s crown, you come up with 666. VICARIVS FILII DEI = 5+1+100+1+5+1+50+1+1+500+1 = 666.

The roulette wheel, representing coveting through gambling, has a numerical equivalent of 666. If you add up (calculate) all the numbers of the roulette wheel, they = 666.
0+00+1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12+13+14+15+16+17+18+19+20+21 +22+23+24+25+26+27+28+29+30+31+32+33+34+35+36 = 666.

666 symbols are present in many business designs and logos, in subtle and not-so-subtle places in this world. 666 patterns appear on every barcode used in retail buying and selling of merchandise. The barcodes are marked with the first bar, middle bar, and last barcode line marked by a 6, and the three bar lines together represent 666.

Scripture prophecy reveals that the day will come when all people will have to receive a mark or implant representing 666 in order to buy and sell. Believers are required to refuse this mark of the beast, even if it means martyrdom death.

REVELATION 13:16-18 (NKJV):
He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666…

REVELATION 14:9-11 (NKJV):
“If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.”

REVELATION 20:4 (NKJV):
Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Yeshua (Jesus) and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Messiah (Christ) for a thousand years.
