6+6+6 = 18
Truly Unlocked
"666"
REGARDING THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST
"666"
which means: "6+6+6=18"
(18 LETTERS)
“Every matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.”
therefore
"18" is the Number of the Beast
Once "666" is deciphered:
"NUMBER OF THE BEAST" ="18"
"THE NUMBER OF HIS NAME"
(18 LETTERS)
**"CALCULATE" (count)
Strong's Lexicon 5585: To reckon, compute, calculate.
For example:
is spelled out with 18 letters
also
is spelled out with 18 letters.
&
the name of the (1st) beast is spelled out with 18 letters as well.(R323)
simply count them :)
"6+6+6=18"
'666' simply means 18
(6+6+6 = 18 letters)
"This application of the number will doubtless appear to some too simple to be accepted, but thus God ever deals with us – hiding TRUTH under the vail of its own simplicity," R323
The CHARACTERISTIC of
a 'MARK' is EVIL (or good)
NOT the NUMBER '666'
The Lord DID NOT make an
EVIL NUMBER
'666' DOES NOT MEAN EVIL !
"THE 666 SUPERSTITION"
SO, WHAT IS A 'MARK'?
The "characteristic" plus the "number"(18 letters) when combined together equal a "MARK"
"...and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the MARK of his name" (Rev. 14:11)
"THE MARKS OF THE DEVIL"
"THE MARKS OF THE BEAST"
SATAN = EVIL (E)
"EVIL CHARACTERISTIC" (666)
GOD = HOLY (H)
"HOLY CHARACTERISTIC"(666)
Some examples of (E) & (H) :
("COUNT" below, 18 letters each)
18 letters counted = (666)
"VICAR OF JESUS CHRIST" (666) (E)
"THE LORD JESUS CHRIST" (666) (H)
"THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS" (666) (E)
"THE ROYAL PRIESTHOOD"(666) (H)
"TRANSUBSTANTIATION"(666) (E)
"THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND" (666) (E)
"THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL" (666) (H)
"THE IMAGE OF THE BEAST"(666) (E)
"THE ANCIENT WORTHIES"(666) (H)
"SACRIFICE OF THE MASS"(666) (E)
*"THE TABERNACLE OF GOD"(666) (H)
"GOOD CHARACTERISTIC"(666)
**A word of caution**
Something that may seem to have a
"GOOD CHARACTERISTIC"
does NOT necessarily mean it is HOLY!
Just as someone may have a "Lovely Spirit," it does not mean that they possess the "Holy Spirit". The same kind of rule applies here when considering 'MARKS'.
We are to "Spiritually Discern" if a MARK is EVIL(from Satan) or HOLY (from God). In fact, many things that are deemed GOOD on the SURFACE may actually be defiled , corrupted & EVIL once truly discerned.
This MODERN DAY EVIL MARK for example:
"Are any COVID-19 vaccines available that are not tested or produced using a cell line derived from an aborted child?"
"NO, for now, ALL VACCINES for the COVID-19 virus being distributed are produced and/or tested (developed) with cell lines that originated from an aborted child"
Our understanding is that a vast majority of the Brethren have received this demonic vaccine, this 'MARK', presumably thinking it was GOOD to do so, that they were being responsible and , some perhaps, reasoning that getting vaccinated could be a matter of life or death (fear of death). Getting vaccinated was also encouraged by many Elders .
Let us be clear - this vaccine was developed by using fetal cells from a murdered 3 month old child.
IT IS PURE EVIL.
IF you have 'received the vaccine' ( any vaccine in our opinion) you must go to the Lord immediately in prayer and confess your error, your lapse in judgement, your sin , for "The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy." Psa 103:8
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" 1 John 1:9
These MODERN DAY EVIL 'MARKS'(666) that may at first appear to be GOOD, are certainly the most DECEPTIVE. We are to remember that Satan has become an Angel of light to deceive, if possible, the very elect (2Cor 11:14).
"And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the VICTORY over the beast, and over his image, and *OVER the NUMBER of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God." Rev. 15:2
"THE NUMBER OF HIS NAME"(666)
("THE NUMBER OF ITS NAME"(666))
*Victory ...OVER the NUMBER...:'666'
How is it that they gain victory over the number of his name?
They understand the coded *cipher '666' i.e. they have each mentally 'cracked' the code by having an intellectual understanding /appreciation of it.
The Saints pictured here standing on the sea of glass gained victory over
1. The Beast 2. The Image
3. The Number
(Our opinion is that this 'victory over the number' applies in particular to the very last of the feet members now, here in the last days of this Gospel age)
"A CIPHER is a secret message that requires a "KEY" to decipher, meaning it's a coded message where only someone with the specific key can understand the actual meaning of the message; the key acts as the instructions to decode the ciphered text"
The Cipher: '666'
The Key: '666'means 6+6+6=18
In other words:
'666' simply means 6+6+6=18 letters
"18 LETTERS IN ITS NAME"(666)
"THE NUMBER OF HIS NAME"(666)
Meaning, the number of letters REQUIRED to spell its/his name (the Beast's name & also the "man's" name) (Rev 13:18) is 18 letters
"THE NUMBER (of letters) OF ITS NAME"
"THE NUMBER (of letters) OF HIS NAME"
Yes, its just this simple!
This INGENIOUS METHOD (the key: 6+6+6=18) the Lord has provided for us to be able to gain victory over the number of his name (Rev. 15:2), primarily to "track", "confirm"& "identify" Satan's EVIL, corrupting &"strong deluding" influences & lies, in particular his 'MARK'S', 'watching' them within the 4 winds (Heavens and Earth's) - Religious , Financial, Social, Civil (Political)
Very Interesting:
Even when we SPELL OUT the actual number 666
"SIX HUNDRED SIXTY SIX" (666)
we see it is also spelled out with "18" letters
What's even more amazing:
"TRIPPLE SIX EQUALS 18" (666)
"3 SIX'S IN A ROW EQUAL 18" (666)
"SIX+SIX+SIX EQUAL TO 18" (666)
"6+6+6 EQUAL TO NUMBER 18" (666)
Each phrase spelled out uses"18" **alphanumeric letters.
count them, truly amazing!
**alphanumeric letters and no punctuation marks not considered (not counted) just as none are in the Hebrew Old Testament
IMPORTANT:
One more time, what is a 'MARK' ? How do we POSITIVELY IDENTIFY a 'MARK'?
The characteristic, plus the "number"(18 alphanumeric letters) when combined together equal a 'MARK'
"CHARACTERISTIC + # = 'MARK' "(666)
( Characteristic (EVIL?, GOOD?, HOLY?), plus (+) number (#) equals (=) 'mark'
And these KEYS also do
MUCH MORE !

Yes, it's the TRUTH, read on and become amazed & inspired!
We see using '666' also as an aid to help us to not only decipher , but also to communicate / express a sincere thought or belief/concept in appropriate context. This technique is one form of what is known as:
"CONSTRAINED WRITING"(666)(constrained to using 18 letters per sentence/line/name/phrase etc.)
& also to provide a
"SCRIPTURAL CITATION"(666)
for statements in context
For Example:
"THE TABERNACLE OF GOD" (666)
EXAMPLES:
"666 THE MARK OF GOOD"(666)
&
"666 THE MARK OF EVIL" (666)

"SPIRIT OF A SOUND MIND" (666)

In order to
"SPIRITUALLY DISCERN" (666)
"KNOW A TRUTH FROM A LIE"(666)
"IS IT A FACT OR FICTION?" (666)
"SPIRIT OF GOOD OR EVIL?"(666)
"SPIRIT OF LOVE OR FEAR?" (666)

Yes, this may seem a little confusing . In fact , it may seem almost impossible to accept & believe at first glance perhaps. But it is the Truth, and you will soon see what an amazing gift the "KEYS" truly are.
Keep reading on and studying the 'KEYS', and it will eventually 'click in' for you and your eyes will be opened!
The proofs herein are overwhelming, especially in the fact that
proves "IT IS OF DIVINE ORIGIN"(666) and that we have the correct understanding & application of it's use (just as Br Russell did regarding the cipher of the beast's number back in 1882!)
"THE LORD'S CIPHER KEYS" (666)
"And I will give unto
thee the keys of
(Matt 16:19)
The Lord really requires just one "cipher " key (the rest are duplicates to give to his 'family members'- those in His Household - hence "keys"), his Master Key if you will, to open anything that needs to be unlocked, like having only one house key for all of your different doors. Very smart!
Just as you know what door you are opening when you unlock it, whether it be the beautiful shiny front door, or the ugly dilapidated back door (i.e. Satan's door) you know exactly what door you are entering or which room you are walking into. You're just able to use one convenient key , regardless of the door.
Same case here, just one MASTER KEY - The Lord's Cipher Key unlocks & deciphers every 'prophetically locked' ciphered door there is. Using the "Sprit of a Sound Mind"(666) you easily differentiate and identify that which is 'marked' as "HOLY" (H) or is considered as being 'marked' as "EVIL" (E).
We note something once marked as
"(E)" can then become "(H)", for example:
"GOVERNMENT OF ISRAEL" (666) is obviously still marked "(E)" as they are still blinded by Satan (Rom 11:25).
We certainly look forward to when it turns back to "(H)" !
These Keys are inspired and provided to us by Divine Design as a wonderful favor and gift from our Lord!
We now see that the Lord allowed the "the 666 superstition"(666) to overtake ALL of us (or most !)- we ourselves once attributing it ONLY to Satan, or to demons, pure evil etc. The three "6"s naturally deceived many to believe it must signify the "trinity", yet we have absolutely zero scriptural proof to back this up, only man made theories.
Just ask yourself and consider this. Moving forward into the Kingdom, would every person, place or thing spelled with 18 letters (666) have to either spend a thousand years in shame & embarrassment or need to be re-named? Or the number 666 can never be used again, we'll just avoid using it ? Like the missing 13th floor button on an elevator ?! :)
Of course not.
All , we believe, will eventually come to see this as a simple tool, that "666=18" is an ingenious cipher Key and a number no longer to be feared. We are just blessed and grateful to know of it's true meaning & use.
"666" simply means : 6+6+6 = 18

“Every matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.”
NOTE: A VERY IMPORTANT LESSON TO REALIZE
Not every name, term, expression etc. , spelled with 18 letters means it is 'marked' of course! As for individuals, tens of millions of people have (or have had) 18 letters in the spelling of their name! We feel that there are only a few scriptures or instances where the Lord has provided a 'marked' name in order to positively identify a specific person or subject - as is the case with Ezekiel 38:2 for example.
We must ask ourselves, how is this name , event, term, date etc. related to or in the four winds? For example, we don't think any would claim "Monterey Jack Cheese" would be considered as 'marked' now would they? :)

"Vicarius Filii Dei" - infamously & falsely purported to be written on the Pope's crown for centuries ,which has since been officially debunked as false, is a spurious, non official Latin title , which translated to English means :
The Lord overruled so the English translation of this un-official Latin title would still contain 18 letters = (666)
Amazing !
Br Russell NEVER endorsed nor taught us to use ROMAN NUMERALS to "calculate the number of the beast or "the number of his name "(666) -known as the gematria principle, it is invalid, a fraud, not Truth.
Br Russell , like millions of people of the "Victorian era" believed it to be true that Vicarius Filii Dei was inscribed on the "papal tiara" - regardless, Br Russell CERTAINLY knew the English translation of this Latin title , "Vicar of the Son of God" which using the "key" = 666 .
Ask any of the Brethren who are either skeptics or dismiss our Pastors "key" - Have them try to explain Rev 13:18 since they don't believe Br Russell's teachings. See if it "adds up":)

Strong's Greek 444: "A man, one of the human race. From aner and ops; man-faced, i.e. A human being."
THEREFORE WE BELIEVE IT IS NOT
VICAR OF JESUS CHRIST(666)
THIS IS NOT A MAN, NOT A HUMAN BEING.. IT IS A TITLE OF AN OFFICE
IT DOES , HOWEVER , BARE THE "MARK OF HIS NAME" REV.14:11
THE MAN OF SIN IS 'PAPACY', NOT AN INDIVIDUAL,
"the apostate church was not the Antichrist, or Man of Sin, until she united with her lord and head, the pope, the claimed vicegerent of Christ, and became a religious empire, falsely styled Christendom – which signifies Christ's Kingdom. Papacy is the name of this false kingdom; and it was built upon a misapplied truth ... " B277 "SECOND VOLUME PG B277"(666)
This 'key' (6+6+6=18 LETTERS) also allows for us to track the beast in the
"FOUR WINDS OF THE EARTH" (Rev 7:1) :

SOCIAL, POLITICAL(Civil)

" Many already know that Judaism, Christianity & ISLAM are considered Abrahamic Religions because of their shared beginnings with the biblical patriarch, Abraham. "
"Louis Massignon (25 July 1883 – 31 October 1962) was a French Catholic scholar of Islam and a pioneer of Catholic-Muslim mutual understanding. He was an influential figure in the twentieth century with regard to the Catholic church's relationship with Islam and played a role in Islam being accepted as an Abrahamic Faith among Catholics. "

knowing that error and sin will repel the children of light." R5184:1

" And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. "
2 Corinthians 11:14-15
"Not only does Satan rule thus in false, heathen religions, but amongst Christian believers also he is a prince or ruler to a far greater extent than is supposed; for in proportion as the minds of men become enlightened, by glimpses of the divine character and plan revealed in the gospel of Christ, Satan is on the alert to mislead them with vain philosophies and sciences falsely so called;" R1684
"If it be asked, How could Satan be interested in doing a good work? we answer: he does no such work amongst those who are thoroughly and stupidly ignorant: he is doing these works merely in the most civilized lands, and especially amongst the most enlightened of the people in the various denominations of Christendom. The Adversary thus assumes the garment of an angel of light and mercy, not to lead to the Light of the world – not to lead to the cross of Christ – not to lead to the Bible – but to lead away from these, to another hope of salvation, and to another teacher: to deceive, if it were possible, the very elect. And be it remembered that our Lord's words indicate that when matters come to this condition, where Satan will cast out Satan and heal disease, it is a marked evidence that his throne is tottering to its fall – that, so to speak, this is the last extremity of the Adversary's efforts to deceive.

" The foregoing being true, it seems more than possible, yes, probable, that Satan's power for evil and death finds exercise in the DEVELOPEMENT OF NEW DISEASES which for a time successfully baffle the skill of all except Satan's own physicians, – Christian Scientists, etc. Medical science has within recent years reached the conclusion that the majority of infectious diseases are the result of poisoning communicated sometimes through the air, and sometimes through the food, in the form of animal life, so small as to be indistinguishable except with powerful microscopes; – long-shaped, it would require nine thousand laid lengthwise to equal an inch. These disease-producing little animals breed by the millions in a few hours, carrying disease wherever they go, and are known as Bacteria. "

χαράγματι (charagmati)

Strong's Greek 5480
8 Occurrences
"CHARACTERISTIC + # = 'MARK' "(666)
(Characteristic , plus (+) number(#) equals (=) 'MARK')
"Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and man’s devising. " Acts 17:29 NKJV
" ...an image made by human design and skill. " Acts 17:29 NIV
.." an image formed by the art and imagination of man." Acts 17:29 ESV
THE "MARK" OF THE BEAST WHICH IS MAN MADE OR "GRAVEN" IN VARIOUS FORMS
WETHER FROM FANCIFUL IMAGINATION - SKILL - DESIGN - CRAFTMANSHIP
CREEDS - IDEOLOGY - POLITICAL IDEOLOGIES - DOCTRINE - SACREMENTS - SACRAMENTALS - DOGMA - "SCIENCE FALSELY SO CALLED" & THEIR RESULTING CONCEQUENCES
The "MARK OF HIS NAME (666)" (Rev 14:11) IS ALWAYS WITHIN IT NO MATTER THE FORM
"The prince of this world," assisted by the fallen angels, deceived men by ignorance and blindness into iniquity, false doctrines and evil practices. Paul blamed not men so much as Satan who deluded them. R4527:2, 3274:2, 1645:1, 1174:6; CR424:2, 200:6
Other forms of "...the mark of his name(666)" Rev.14:11 see also." ...the men which had the mark of the beast," Rev 16:2 -they already possessed the "mark of his name" 666 the "Characteristics". R498:3
Seven Holy Mysteries (666)- Book of Common Prayer (666) -Thirty-Nine Articles (666)
Words of Institution(666) The Supper of the Lord(666) (#25)
Transubstantiation(666) Eucharistic Miracle (666) Veneration of Saints (666)
The Books of Homilies(666)
The 'mark' is received (acquired) (Rev 14:11),
given, "causeth" (will be required , enforced) (Rev 13:16),
has, will need to have (possession of will be a requirement) (Rev. 13:17 )
or already has (already in possession of) (Rev. 16:2)
"Those having the mark (characteristics) of the Beast (Papacy)" R498
The most infamous "Brain Age" 'mark'
The Origin of Species (666) *
"Likewise the theory of Evolution is widely proclaimed. Learned men formulated the theory of Evolution, and then the Higher Critics began to pull the Bible to pieces, because of "the oppositions of science, falsely so-called." (1 Timothy 6:20.) These false theories have constituted a miasma that has spread in every direction " R5816
" The start of modern criticism or "higher criticism" may be said to have been in the theory of Evolution – which is diametrically opposed to the Bible theory of the creation of man in God's likeness, his fall into sin, imperfection and death, his redemption by a ransom and the restitution to come. " R2114
" Quite as terrible at first seemed the blow which evolution aimed at the literal interpretation of the Scriptures. Most of those who first read The Origin of Species* believed literally in the creation stories in Genesis; and, of course, any theory that made such a belief impossible must have seemed a denial of God's Word. That view of the matter has been abandoned long ago by Christians... " R2114
*VERY INTERESTING!
* "The sixth edition was published by Murray on 19 February 1872 as The Origin of Species (666), with "On" dropped from the title. Darwin had told Murray of working men in Lancashire clubbing together to buy the fifth edition at 15 shillings and wanted it made more widely available; the price was halved to 7s 6d by printing in a smaller font."
(Our Lord certainly overruled for this seemingly insignificant name change!)

CAUTION WHEN USING EXPANDED BIBLICAL COMMENTS ONLINE AND BOOK
Regarding : 6+6+6=18 LETTERS IN NUMBER OF HIS NAME
The Adversaries attempts to conceal Br Russell's teachings on 666 exposed.
R322.6 EBC EDITED(misleading) by others comment says "Though I thought I had a correct analysis of the symbols of the chapter, yet I could not claim it to be wisdom, since I could not interpret the number. " (this gives the reader the impression as though the Pastor had no idea and gave up , the way this comment has been edited is misleading at best).
R322 : WHAT PASTOR ACUTALLY SAID FULL UNEDITED
..." This application of the number, will doubtless appear to some too simple to be accepted, but thus God ever deals with us – hiding truth under the vail of its own simplicity, so that it may appear to the Greek (worldly wise) foolishness, but unto them which believe (not to those who believe without evidence, but who believe on the strongest kind of evidence – the harmony of His Word) the power of God, and the wisdom of God. (1 Cor. 1:23.) " R323:9
" Delusions are unwavering beliefs that defy incontrovertible proofs to the contrary "
THE MOST DECEPTIVE COMMENT -EBC R323:6* NOT BR RUSSELL'S !
BELOW IS WHAT IS PRINTED IN THE ORANGE REPRINT BOOKS
AUTHORIZED BY WHOM? UNKNOWN
EBC R323.6* UNAUTHORIZED COMMENT SAYS
"...Since Greek numerals for six hundred , sixty and six are used in the oldest manuscripts it would not be proper to set forth six plus six plus six" ??
IT GETS WORSE : BELOW IS WHAT "OTHERS" 'ADDED' INTO THE ORANGE REPRINT BOOK
IF YOU HAVE A SET OF REPRINTS LOOK & SEE FOR YOURSELF
"*The following explanation is printed merely for its historical interest. For the reason that the Greek numerals for six hundred , sixty and six are used in the oldest MMS. it would not be proper to accept any explanation setting forth six plus six plus six. Pastor Russell in later years approved the explanation given in Scripture Studies Vol VII" ???
Are we expected to accept the above comment as "proof" , that it is "Truth? A comment which points us to apparently find the Truth of the matter within the pages of
"The Finished Mystery"(666) ?
We implore all to look up what this implausible "proof" is in the "7th" volume which our Pastor never penned nor published.
links are below under the section Vicarius FELII Dei = 665 !?
Also, why was It ALWAYS SPELLED spelled INCORRECTLY (incorrect spelling gave it the value of 665 instead of 666 - seemingly most ignored ever verifying)? We believe the Lord overruled this in order to see how many of the Brethren actually even tried to "prove" this false claim in EBC.
VICARIUS FILII DEI - OFFICIALLY DEBUNKED
" Lowering the standard, and ignoring faith in the doctrines of Christ and the Apostles, morality and civilization will be the new standard or platform. It will be broad enough to include all grades of outwardly moral people—the various grades and shades of Protestants, including Unitarians, Roman Catholics, Greek Catholics, Jews, Brahmins, and Mohammedans. Under this new standard the world will be re-examined and found almost converted—almost up to the standard. But, what a standard!... ! "
