What does the number of the beast (666) symbolically mean? This video explores the Bible meaning of this number. Also, this video examines whether it is appropriate to ‘calculate’ the name of the Beast using ‘Gematria’. Gematria is the use of numerical values for individual letters in a name using Greek, Hebrew or Latin. Then, the number of each letter are added to determine an overall number. The symbolic number of the beast (666) represents the evil works of Satan’s kingdom including a works-based salvation plan. Therefore, 666 identifies with the antichrist. The antichrist (i.e., the beast) rises during the short period of time known as the Great Tribulation. This short time period occurs just before the return of Jesus Christ.
