In biblical numerology, the number 7 is symbolic of perfection, like a complete 7 day week. Thus, the number 6 refers to being incomplete. Without a day of rest on the 7th day, a week is imperfect, breaking from God’s design for mankind in Genesis 2:2-3. Meanwhile, the number 3 indicates wholeness, like the trinity: Father, Son and Holy Ghost. When you add 3 sevens together, this signifies complete perfection. On the other hand, 666, also known as the mark of the beast, represents complete imperfection.
Ezekiel 28:11-19 contains a prophecy against the King of Tyre. Strangely enough, this leader is compared to Lucifer, the angel of song thrown out of heaven by God the Father. Based upon the account in Genesis 3:1-5 and Matthew 4:1-10, the devil appears to be an imposter, someone trying to imitate the Lord of All. This masquerade continues today with angelic qualities, described by the apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 11:13-15. Although counterfeits have nearly exact features, time will give away their cover. In the end, this knock off of the Creator of Life will be exposed, but will his victims have time to turn back?
Every decade, another prophet so to speak will claim he or she knows the day when Jesus will return. Others will swear to be made aware of signs from the Holy Spirit like a modern day John the Baptist. Their words can be tested, using the Bible as a measuring stick, 1 Thessalonians 5:21-22. Some may even fall prey to spells cast by these dynamic leaders just as Jesus predicted nearly 2000 years ago, Matthew 24:10-11. Since everyone is forced to live in the world, the best solution is following the words of Jesus’ baby brother, James 4:7-10. May this advice serve as a blue print, to protect you from the schemes of the one labeled six, six, six, Ephesians 6:10-11.
