Conclusion 666 and 888
In this study we have looked at two kinds of people. We may call them the 666 people and the 888 people. The 666 people live their lives without God, wholly according to adamic fallen human nature.
In doing this, willingly or unwillingly, they are in Satan's grip. The 888 people are a total contrast.
They follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They are wholly led by the Spirit and have entered the fullness of son ship. They have been redeemed from the earth.
Can we be among those 144,000? Is such a level of perfection possible?
Can we obey the command of Jesus to be perfect even as your Heavenly Father is perfect? Did John's visions on the island of Patmos really come from God?
Human words are inadequate to answer these questions. Unless we have an answer from God deep in our hearts by the revelation of the Holy Spirit, we have no answer that can affect our lives.
The entrance of his word gives light. Let us wait on him that we may receive it.
Postscript
WWW - ווו
Finally we will consider an interesting fact: W is the 6th letter of the Hebrew alphabet. In other words W represents the number 6. So how do you write 666 in Hebrew? You’ve guessed it! WWW!
WWW or the Worldwide Web is a massive amalgamation of man’s wisdom and knowledge on every imaginable subject, good, bad and neutral. With a few clicks of a mouse you can find information on just about any topic you choose. We have access to an almost infinite source of human knowledge.
We find something similar in scripture. Peter said to Jesus, “You know everything” (John 21: 17). John was present at the time and overheard this and he wrote similar words in his letter: “You have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know everything” (1 John 2: 20).
Neither Jesus, nor the readers of John’s letter were users of the Internet. Their source of knowledge was not 666, but 888. They had the mind of Christ, not the mind of the beast!
