The book of Revelation says the number of the beast, 666, is the number of a man.

Most Christians today say that man is "The Antichrist", but that is wrong.


New Testament writers used symbols and imagery from the OT and their own history.


In the Old Testament the number 666 refers to a specific man, Solomon.


God has given us a double witness:


1 Kings 10:14 The weight of the gold that Solomon received yearly was 666 talents,


2 Chronicles 9:13 The weight of the gold that Solomon received yearly was 666 talents,




No, I am not saying Solomon was evil or "The Antichrist"... I am saying a number associated with Solomon
is being symbolically used in the book of Revelation as a clue to who the beasts of Rev 13 are.



Here is another clue.


There is an ancient symbol, called Solomon's seal [seal = mark.]

The "Solomon's seal" term is not widely used anymore.

Most people today know that symbol as the "Star of David."

There are two powerful groups of people today symbolically associated with Solomon and Solomon's seal...


... Freemasons who revere Solomon's temple and whose symbol, the square and compass, mimics Solomon's seal...

... and the Israeli state.

These two powerful groups represent the first and second beasts of Rev 13.

Shriners are connected to Freemasonry. All Shriners must first be Freemasons.

The "Age of Enlightenment" [which promoted humanism over God and Church] was fertile ground for Freemasonry.

Many of the USA's founding fathers [Franklin, Washington, etc] were Freemasons and deists [like Jefferson.]

The American revolution, like the French revolution that followed [both products of the humanist "Age of Enlightenment"]
was conceived and facilitated by Freemasons.

You know, the ones who belong to the Synagogues of Adversity?

Not only was Franklin a freemason, he was a grand master.

He was also the US ambassador to France and while in France
he helped inspire the French freemasons in their bloody rebellion
against their king.



" In 1731, Franklin was initiated into the local Masonic Lodge. He became Grand Master in 1734... "

Being a Texan, I can tell you that many of the fathers of the Texas revolution were also freemasons.
