Transcript of 666 The Mark of the Beast

The 20th in a Series of Studies onBiblical Prophecy

11 Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads,

17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.
