six hundred and sixty-six

The number related to the wild beast worship

Hebrew letters have Numerical Values

Because every letter of the alphabet has a numerical value, every word also has a numerical value. For example, the word Torah (Tav-Vav-Reish-Hei) has the numerical value 611 (400+6+200+5).

Re 13:18
18 Here is where wisdom comes in: Let the one that has intelligence calculate the number of the wild beast, for it is a man's number; and its number is six hundred and sixty-six (666).

666 = 400 + 200 + 60 + 6 = Tau + Resh + Samech + Vau = TRSV

I want a native Hebrew speaker to figure out the meaning of the Hebrew letters "תרסו" (from the right to the left VSRT) as the name of the beast which is something disgusting for God.

It is better to ask Jews to interpret the alphabetical meaning of the numerical number 666 which is "תרסו" in Hebrew alphabet.

The meaning of the Hebrew alphabet

666 ("תרסו", TRSV in English) is "sign, mark" + "head" + "prop, support" + "nail" in literal meaning, and "covenant" + "person" + "support" + "hook"

Could it be something related to the false Messiah?

Mt 24:23-26
23 "Then if anyone says to YOU, 'Look! Here is the Christ,' or, 'There!' do not believe it. 24 For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will give great signs and wonders so as to mislead, if possible, even the chosen ones. 25 Look! I have forewarned YOU. 26 Therefore, if people say to YOU, 'Look! He is in the wilderness,' do not go out; 'Look! He is in the inner chambers,' do not believe it.

Re 13:13-14
13 And it performs great signs, so that it should even make fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the sight of mankind.
14 And it misleads those who dwell on the earth, because of the signs that were granted it to perform in the sight of the wild beast, while it tells those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the wild beast that had the sword-stroke and yet revived.

2Th 2:9-10
9 But the lawless one's presence is according to the operation of Satan with every powerful work and lying signs and portents 10 and with every unrighteous deception for those who are perishing, . . .

I think it's quite possible that people who admire a huge human institution accept the Messianic mark of it.

So the wild beast could have a name somewhat related to the Messiah, so that people accept the wild beast worship imaging that they are doing right things.

The wild beast with the Messianic name on the head is disgusting indeed.

Receiving the mark of the wild beast, 666 on their right hand and forehead means that people demonstrate their trust in a global human government.

It would be unlikely a literal mark like implanting a micro chip in human body to control everything.
As in the case of the sons of the kingdom who have the name of YHWH, and the name of Christ written on their forehead, it would be symbolic.

People demonstrate their trust, either in the false Messiah, the human institution or in YHWH and true Christ.

So the world will be clearly divided into two groups, one is those who accept wild beast as something Messianic, the other is those who keep their faith in YHWH and His true Messiah.

Re 13:18
18 Here is where wisdom comes in: Let the one that has intelligence calculate the number of the wild beast, for it is a man's number; and its number is six hundred and sixty-six.

In time, we will be able to calculate the number of the wild beast.

So Keep on the watch.
Make sure all things.

1 Beloved ones, do not believe every inspired expression, but test the inspired expressions to see whether they originate with God, because many false prophets have gone forth into the world.
