The Calculation of 666 (Revelation 13:18)

The widespread use of 99.9% hand sanitizer became a symbol of pandemic measures.
Some interpret the "99.9%" label as a representation of 666 when inverted,
fulfilling the prophecy of calculating the number of the beast in Revelation 13:18:

“This calls for wisdom:
let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast,
for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666.”


This symbolic transformation is seen as a sign of compliance with the beast system,
as 99.9% sanitation measures became ubiquitous.

The idea that the Number of the Beast is in any way connected to "99.9%" is simply absurd. The Number of the Beast is not three 6's in a row; it is the numerical value of six hundred and sixty six. This is made more obvious in the Greek, where it is written χξς (with a line above it to show it's a numeral). In Greek numerals, χ means six hundred, ξ means sixty, and ς means six; they add up to six hundred and sixty six. It is the numerical value of six hundred and sixty six. It is not three 6's, so trying to find some pattern based on three 6's does not work (similarly, 66.6 or 6.66 miss the mark because they are not six hundred and sixty six).

But this claim goes even further than that absurdity. It doesn't merely take three 6's (which is already going against what Revelation actually says, because again it refers to the numerical value), it then "inverts" them into 999. But even that stretch isn't enough, because it then has to change 999 to 99.9. The stretches required to arrive at this should be obvious.

And just to top it all off, John explicitly says that six hundred and sixty six is the number of the name of the Beast. The 99.9% doesn't come from anyone's name.

John said the Number of the Beast was six hundred and sixty six. The idea that when he wrote six hundred and sixty six, what he really meant was ninety-nine and nine tenths is simply absurd. If John had meant ninety-nine and nine tenths, he would've written that. He didn't. He wrote six hundred and sixty six.

I, and many others, bought a lot of things before we had a vaccine, which you seem to be claiming was the mark of the beast.

Can you buy and sell without a credit card? I remember before Musk created Paypal people use to have to send us a check in the snail mail to pay for their purchase.

Where were you living? North Korea?
In the UK, where I have always lived.
Yes, several shops have closed over here too, which may even be as a result of the pandemic. None of that changes the fact that I, and many others, carried on shopping as usual. There may have been longer queues, instructions about wearing masks etc but we were able to buy and sell.

That completely disproves your theory that no one would be able to buy and sell.

Yes.
Card purchases are far more common and I've heard people say that they never carry cash any more. But cash and checks are still legal tender. Some folk even insist on being paid in cash.

There was a time during covid where all available stores required masks and the donning of 99.9% (666) in the right hand.
Everyone knows this but the denialists.

"After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count,
from every nation, tribe, people, and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb.
They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands."
Revelation 7:9

"But the very hairs of your head are all numbered."
Matthew 10:30

Yes, but if you read my post carefully, I said that shopping online was possible. I did it.
Thus the statement that no one could buy or sell if they didn't have the mark, is false.

And the idea that if you turn a bottle of sanitiser upside down it says 666 is just ridiculous.
Read the Bible - assuming you have one and believe it. The verse says that the number is the number of a man, or man's number Revelation 13:18. A MAN - not a stupid plastic bottle of liquid.

Now, hear me out here... it may sound outlandish, but... what if the dollar sign ($) itself is the mark of the beast?

Is the dollar the number of a man?
And what does that mean for non-Americans?

Not as far as I know.

I occasionally buy from websites where the price is given in dollars. But in my everyday life I use cash or British pounds.

The Fibonacci number reminds me of the Mandelbrot Set. Benoit Mandelbrot who was an IBM tech was interested in seeing of there were any patterns to the numbers. Up until then this was impossible but computers allowed more complex programming. To everyones amazement what popped out after all the numbers were plugged in was the Madelbrot set. Something many say is undeniable evidence that there is a creator behind everything.

Its a bit like articles I have seen which mention patterns with DNA and the Double Helix. I think there is also some research into patterns with quantum physics as well that are multidimensional. As technology has increased we are finding more design like aspects and not some random sequencing that just happens to fall in place or come from nowhere.

The pattern created by the Madelbrot set starts at the 10 minute mark if you want to skip the intro which is explaining a little about the number sets and algerbra behind the Mandelbrot set. Its not about understanding algerbra but what qualifies as a number within the Madelbrot set. It actually helps understand the apparent magic of the patterns and that there had to be intelligence behind it.

Certainly. But if the value of dollar were to suddenly crash today...

Who's behind the bottle, is the man.
