"We gave several of the names of the Beast and Image. Each of those names will be found to contain exactly 18 letters, or three sixes, which written numerically, form the number 666. This corresponds with the number designated (Rev. 13:18.) and

of the symbols (Beast and Image) of this chapter.
Read in the January number again, and be sure you see it clearly enough to prevent your being of those worshiping the Beast or his Image, or receiving his mark, or the number of his name. Those who are worshipers and marked thus, are not reckoned of the overcomers who shall sit with Christ in his throne. See Rev. 20:4." R355

"Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."Rev 13:18
THE NAME OF THE BEAST IS (Rev 17:5):
"THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS" = 18 LETTERS
aka "THE PIERCING SERPENT"(666) or "THAT CROOKED SERPENT "(666) (Isa 27:1)
18 IS THE NUMBER OF THE NAME OF THE BEAST
" ...for it indicates a certain man, and his number is 666. " Weymouth
MUHAMMAD THE PROPHET = 18 LETTERS.
aka HOLY PROPHET OF ISLAM(666)
18 IS THE NUMBER OF THIS MAN, THIS "FALSE PROPHET"
HERE we see the Number of the Beast
is the same as the Number of the Man-THE FALSE PROPHET.
AS EASY AS COUNTING 18 PEBBLES !
(The Lord gave us this method as an easy way to "track" the Beast, and his corrupting influence worldwide, in the FOUR WINDS OF THE EARTH (Rev. 7:1) : Financial, Political (Civil), Social, Religious (also see Meggison Notes Rev 7:1)

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

"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. "

aka: "The Dark Ages"
"The Dark Ages is a term for the Early Middle Ages (c. 5th–10th centuries), or occasionally the entire Middle Ages (c. 5th–15th centuries), in Western Europe after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, which characterizes it as marked by economic, intellectual, and cultural decline."
"The Holy Roman Empire,[e] also known as the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation after 1512, was a polity in Central and Western Europe, usually headed by the Holy Roman Emperor.[19] It developed in the Early Middle Ages and lasted for almost 1,000 years until its dissolution in 1806 during the Napoleonic Wars.
The Council of Nicaea met from May to the end of July 325AD.
" The Council of Nicaea was the first council in the history of the Christian church that was intended to address the entire body of believers.
" Aside from the first general gathering of the bishops of the Church—the Council of Jerusalem, which occurred around A.D. 50 (Acts 15) and which is usually not counted as an ecumenical council—there have been 21 ecumenical or general councils of the bishops of the Catholic Church. (The Eastern Orthodox Churches recognize the first seven as ecumenical councils.) "
The 21 Ecumenical Councils Catholic.com
"The Council of Constance (Latin: Concilium Constantiense;[1] German: Konzil von Konstanz) was an ecumenical council of the Catholic Church that was held from 1414 to 1418 in the Bishopric of Constance (Konstanz) in present-day Germany. "
"The Conventicle Act 1664 was an Act of the Parliament of England (16 Cha. 2. c. 4[2]) that forbade conventicles, defined as religious assemblies of more than five people other than an immediate family, outside the auspices of the Church of England and the rubrics of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer "
The Book of Common Prayer (BCP) is the name given to a number of related prayer books used in the Anglican Communion and by other Christian churches historically related to Anglicanism.

(Interesting to see our Pastor's eye was watching Lateran prior to 1929: see R3549:13)
" The Lateran Treaty (Italian: Patti Lateranensi; Latin: Pacta Lateranensia) was one component of the Lateran Pacts of 1929, agreements between the Kingdom of Italy under King Victor Emmanuel III (with his Prime Minister Benito Mussolini) and the Holy See under Pope Pius XI to settle the long-standing Roman Question. The treaty and associated pacts were named after the Lateran Palace where they were signed on 11 February 1929,[1] and the Italian parliament ratified them on 7 June 1929. The treaty recognised Vatican City as an independent state under the sovereignty of the Holy See. The Italian government also agreed to give the Roman Catholic Church financial compensation for the loss of the Papal States.[2] In 1948, the Lateran Treaty was recognized in the Constitution of Italy as regulating the relations between the state and the Catholic Church.[3] The treaty was significantly revised in 1984, ending the status of Catholicism as the sole state religion."

WHAT IS A "man made" "mark?"
"an image formed"
χαράγματι (charagmati)
Noun - Dative Neuter Singular
Strong's Greek 5480: Sculpture; engraving, a stamp, sign. From the same as charax; a scratch or etching, i.e. Stamp, or scupltured figure."
Strong's 5480 : This same word for "mark"
used 7 times in Revelation, once(1) in Acts:
Strong's Greek 5480
8 Occurrences
"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 'mark' is the genus (the characteristics)- name or number of the beast)
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 first and most infamous "Brain Age" 'mark'
"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."
INTERESTING: RADIOISOTOPE DATING(666)
Another Example : the Eucharist (Eucharistic Miracle(666)) is a man made "mark" , it is consumed during Mass. The "Ideology" behind it, that it is the actual body and blood is derived from a "mark" , for instance: the Creeds found in the Book of Common Prayer(666) or within the Thirty -Nine Articles (666) (Anglican : aka know as "The Supper of the Lord"(666) ) which describes the process and practices in order to "change" the wine and cracker into the actual body and blood of Jesus. In Catholicism, a 'mark', the "Words of Institution (666)" is given as an oblation, consecrating the Eucharist which is believed to then turn into the actual body and blood of Jesus by going through the process of "Transubstantiation "(666). Hence, you have the Eucharist transformed and now bares "mark of his name" (Rev. 14:11) being "received" that is, consumed, by a human who has therefore then defiled themselves in the eyes of the Lord.

..." 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.

VICARIUS FILII DEI - OFFICIALLY DEBUNKED
R355 HERE AGAIN OUR PASTOR ENDORSES
THE ONLY TEACHING EVER PENNED BY BR RUSSELL
THE "KEY" TO CALUCLATE THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST
"Ques. Please explain more fully the method of counting the number of the beast and image. I could not fully comprehend this part of the January number.
Ans. We gave several of the names of the Beast and Image. Each of those names will be found to contain exactly 18 letters, or three sixes, which written numerically, form the number 666. This corresponds with the number designated (Rev. 13:18.) and proves that we have a correct application of the symbols (Beast and Image) of this chapter.
Read in the January number again, and be sure you see it clearly enough to prevent your being of those worshiping the Beast or his Image, or receiving his mark, or the number of his name. Those who are worshipers and marked thus, are not reckoned of the overcomers who shall sit with Christ in his throne. See Rev. 20:4." R355
" 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!... ! "
R1079:5
B281 :The name "Antichrist" has a twofold significance. The first is against (i.e., in opposition to) Christ: the second significance is instead (i.e., a counterfeit) of Christ. In the first sense the expression is a general one, which would apply to any enemy opposing Christ. In this sense Saul (afterward called Paul), and every Jew, and every Mohammedan, and all the Pagan emperors and people of Rome, were antichrists—opposers of Christ. B281
______________________________________________________________________________
Some may inquire regarding Rev. 21:3 ?
"...Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them..."
here we see the 18 letters in the statement "the tabernacle of God" - we must remember this is after Satan and his empire have been cast into the lake of fire and destroyed forever, so the "mark" of his name and the "number of his name" are no more , as we read in the very next verse"...for the former things are passed away." Rev 21:4

"When the Earthquake, or Revolution, so prominently mentioned in the Scriptures shall have come, that, no doubt will be the time when the kings and the captains of industry, of finance and of politics will in self-defense greatly exalt the power of religious leaders. Then we may expect that the Federation of Churches will exercise a power in the world such as has not been since the days of Papal supremacy. In the symbolic language of Revelation, that will be the time in which the "Image of the Beast" will have life and work great wonders, threatening, commanding, in the name of Heaven.—Rev. 13:11-18."
" Jesus, who gave this revelation to us (Rev. 1:1), well knew that this symbol could not be understood until about the present time, for the reason that the Image was only made in 1846. Jesus also knew, of course, that English would be the language used by probably four-fifths of his earnest truth-seeking children, in the "time of the end." He knew, also, that not many wise, not many great, not many learned in all languages would be of the chosen "little flock." Moreover, it was his custom to adapt his teachings to the "common people," and of this sort his Jewels have been from, the twelve disciples and since. "

He , like most of the times, did believe the title was on the Popes crown when this question was asked of him in 1911 and this seems to have been commonly reported as being true , Impossible to prove otherwise back then, none the less, (Q37) does not ever state the Roman numerals being used to "calculate" 666 because this was not his teaching of how to calculate which is found clearly in R323 pg 9
Many claim the "proof" is Q37:1 - We encourage all to look again at his complete answer that was transcribed.
ALSO - we believe the Lord Overruled and allowed for the fact that Vicarius Filii Dei was MISSPELLED not only in the 1911 Convention Report as Vicarius FELII Dei ( the "E" is supposed to be an "I") but also it is misspelled on Q37:1 which was first printed in 1917 .
By Misspelling it as Vicarius Felii Dei it would = 665
Do ANY believe that our dear Pastor would ever have approved this to be published ?
