| V. Solving the Revelation 13:18 Riddle : 666 is the Ultimate Idolatry |
The number 666 has
another meaning that signifies evil in the Bible. When we dig deeper into 666 in the Bible we
uncover more clues to decoding the Riddle and to the meaning of 666. We see 666
relating to idolatry.
The sin of idolatry breaks the first and second commandments.
Adonikams(sp) came back from Babylon
with 666 of his descendants and he was a high priest from Babylon and his name
means my lord stands or rises and stands means like on a pedestal of
gold.
When we think of golden images we
cannot forget the golden calf that Aaron made in Exodus 32 from the golden
earrings everyone wore and contributed.
In the book of Daniel.
Nebuchadnezzar‘s idolatrous golden image was 60 cubits high by 6 cubits wide,
thus 66. Here we see idolatry in the golden image. Daniel was thrown into the fiery furnace for
not worshipping the image. We see a parallel
in Revelation 13:15, which states,” He
was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of
the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of
the beast to be killed.” Just like Nebuchadnezzar we see Antichrist set up
his idolatrous image. The book of
Daniel makes it very plain that the Antichrist will set himself up as a god. We
see the number 666 linked with idolatry.
The tribe of Dan, which is the tribe
the Antichrist descends from was given to idolatry. The Antichrist will have
Jewish ancestry and will rise from the tribe of Dan, for more on the Antichrist
see my book the Antichrist of Revelation:666. Dan set up Micah’s idol made of silver.
To understand the idolatry piece of the Tribe
of Dan we must first look to Rachel, Dan’s mother who bore him through a
surrogate or a concubine.
Rachel, the wife of Jacob was both
beautiful and like most Biblical patriarchs had her area of sin. Rachel could
not have any children and became jealous of her sister Leah who bore Jacob four
sons while she sat childless. She became angry at Jacob and blamed him for her
childless state. In Rachel’s jealousy she grabbed her maid Bilhah, and gave her
to Jacob as a surrogate to have children for her, and Bilhah bore Dan. Jealous
rivalry continued between Rachel and Leah. Rachel’s maid bore a second son to
her: Naphtali.
When Jacob left the home of his
father in law, Rachel stole his idols and lied to her father as he searched for
them so that he would not find them. She also kept this secret from her husband
Jacob who did not know that she had stolen the idols from her father. Rachel’s
attachment to the idols was so great that she stole them and lied to protect
them. No doubt she was thrilled over the birth of Dan and doted over him and he
followed her in the area of her idolatry.
Judges Chapters 17 and 18 tells the
story of Micah an idolater who lived in the mountains of Ephraim and who
employed a renegade, idolatrous priest. Dan and 600 of his men went searching
the land for an area to settle in and came upon Micah’s house. Notice the
number 600 in this story. They forcibly took his idols and his priest to serve
them. They then went into Laish took the land by murdering its inhabitants,
renamed it Dan and set up Micah’s idol and employed idolatrous priests to serve
them until their captivity.
Dan set up idolatry in defiance of
Israel’s God. King Jeroboam, Israel’s northern kingdom’s first king who the
Bible mentions over and over as “the man who caused Israel to sin” placed two
golden calves, which he set up for idolatrous worship. He placed one in Bethel
and the other in Dan, which both lay on the extreme southern and northern part
of the kingdom. (I Kings 29-30) Bethel afterwards became a center for Idolatry.
Dan already existed as one, which is why Jeroboam placed a calf there. Amos
foretells Israel’s captivity, in Amos 8:14 God’s declares judgment on Dan for
its allegiance to its false gods.
The Bible well establishes the
idolatry of the tribe of Dan. This is one reason it is not mentioned among the
12 tribes in Revelation chapter 7 and is the lineage of the Antichrist. The
Antichrist sets himself up as a god via his cloned avatar in the Jewish Temple,
which he causes the world to worship and commits the ultimate idolatry and
abomination. We see idolatry in the
Antichrist’s lineage, to his demand for worship of his idolatrous image to his
claiming to be God. All through the
Bible we see 666 associated with idolatry. The Bible tells us that demons are
in the idols and with idolatry comes a curse. See Deuteronomy 32:16-17, 1
Corinthians 10:20, Deuteronomy 27:15.
