One interpretation makes 666 equal the summation of the Greek Numbering of the Arabic word
"ELLAH", -the pronounced version of word "ALLAH"- which means "GOD" in the English
language,
where E=5, L=30, A=1, H=600 (according to above table of Greek Numerical System).
In the Arabic language and Islamic culture, it is common for individuals to use the pronounced
name of "Ellah" (as in "Seif Ellah" which means in English "Sword of the God"); taken in context,
this could mean that the prophecied Beast could be an "Arabic Moslem"; his mark in such case
could be the name of "Ellah" written in Arabic letters and shaped within : Sword figure (as shown
beside) which is equal to "Turned Over Cross" figure used by Satanism
Such interpretation gives one understanding of the Beast's potential name, its number, and its
mark; in addition, it reads well into the next chapter of the Book of Revelation:
10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must
be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. (Revelation 13:10,
KJV)
This interpretation also translates well with the Islamic belief in the appearance of Mahdi, the one
prophecied who will join all Moslems under his leadership to conquer and defeat all non-Moslem
people and countries in order to establish Islam as the global religion as you can read from the
next Islamic English Link :
Destiny of Christians and Jews during beast (Al Mahdi) time
Image of the Beast which had the wound by a sword, and did live (Re 13:14)
The above photo shows existing Imaginary portrait of Husayn ibn Ali the grandson of prophet
Muhammed whereas the expected Mahdi is one of his descendents according to Islamic Shia faith.
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond,
to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: (Revelation
13:16)
AND
At Eternity
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and
his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture
into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence
of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor
night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
(Rev 14:9)
Revelation Book Chapter 9 : from 1 to 6
1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was
given the key of the bottomless pit.
2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a
great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the
scorpions of the earth have power.
4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green
thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five
months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death
shall flee from them
[44:10] Therefore, watch for the day when the sky brings a profound smoke.
6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall
desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
Image 1: shows one undiscovered yet family of locusts trapped inside deep earth
cavity and living in total darkness
Image 2: shows asteroid approaching earth surface
Image 3: shows asteroid colliding with earth surface
Image 4: shows that collision resulted in freeing the trapped locusts
Image 5: shows that collision resulted in forming a cloud of dust which is hiding the
sun rays.
Image 6: shows locusts particularly attacking people having chemically provoking
components found in the mark of the beast
Image 7: shows dust cloud being dispelled after five months and re-shining of sun
rays causing light susceptible locusts to die.
