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. - Revelation 13:18

page-number-of-the-beast1

We conclude the study of the language of metaphor with some insights into the operation of interpreting scripture from a fresh perspective…not the stale cartoon prophetic images of doom and destruction, but a concise and highly focused view of the meanings of the cryptograms and images which veil one of the most debated verses in prophecy:

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.- Revelation 13:18

The number of the beast is broken down into two numbers:

660 which refers to the Serpents and 6 which refers to the Scorpions. This number for each one is the number of a man, that man would be James Strong. It is the numbers which he assigned to each one of those definitions. He gave the number 660 to the definition for the Serpents; and he gave the number 6 to the Scorpions.

We already know that the beast is made up of the Serpents and the Scorpions. This verse tells us that the beast has the numbers 660 and 6 assigned to it, the definitions being Serpents and Scorpions. You can’t get any more literal than that. Numbers are to be takenJames Strong literally.

And while the apostate church looks for the chip with 666 in it and looking for an antichrist whose name adds up to 666 in the Greek or the Hebrew, or any other methodology they can conjure up, it is right before their eyes but they cannot see it. Why, because they are blind and deaf. But we, who are wise and understand these things look to the Metaphorical language to interpret the Word of God as He meant it to be interpreted by His people for we are the children of God.

“A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding
shall attain unto wise counsels: To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.” - Proverbs 1:5-6

metaphors-1

The metaphors found in scripture are a bridge between time and spirit. There is a consistent body of images and identifications in the prophetic writings…and once we learn the “language” the dark understandings, hidden by the Creator, come to life.

This show reviews the fundamentals of the prophetic view brought out in early Third Day studies, and begins breaking out the rules for applying identifications found in the prophetic writings. Key concepts for the student of prophecy.

“In trying to understand a thing we are trying to find a metaphor for that thing . . . Understanding a thing is to arrive at a metaphor for a thing by substituting something more familiar to us. And the feeling of familiarity is the feeling of understanding . . . Understanding a thing is arriving at a familiarizing metaphor for it . . .”-Julian Jaynes, “The Origin of Consciousness and the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind”

“  But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.”-1Corinthians 2:14

td-synopsis-4

There are levels to understanding any concept, and faith is no exception. As we move and grow in understanding the mysteries of faith and prophecy the Lord invites us into an increasingly mature understanding of the written Word.

There are principles of interpreting Biblical prophecy that take us from the “milk” to the “meat” of the obscure passages found in the prophetic writ which, if followed carefully, open up new understandings and new levels of faith.

YAHWEH moved, in times past, in the physical outworking  of signs and wonders seen in the Old Testament which culminated in the revelation of His Messiah. The New Testament transitioned those same patterns into movement in the Spirit. This study gives us valuable insights into the patterns of prophecy which are now discerned spiritually, by understanding the patterns given in the Old Testament.

This study is based on the research originally presented over several years in the “Third Day” studies on the Threshing Floor. We now condense those studies into nugget-sized concepts that can be more easily examined.

“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.”-Revelation 13:12

For centuries prophecy students and scholars have puzzled over the cryptic imagery of the mysterious “beast” of the Book of Revelation. This series breaks out a consistent, metaphorical survey of the dynamic of this spiritual creature and its role in the great tribulation.
