Revelation 13:18

Here is wisdom; wisdom is required, in order to determine to whom the above representations apply, and who is meant by them.

Let him that hath understanding; of this matter.

Count the number; of the name of the beast.

Six hundred threescore and six; the letters which compose the Greek word Lateinos, signifying the Latin man, when used as numerals, make the number six hundred threescore and six. This is the case also with some other names. But in order to be sure that any one is the true name, it must, not only in this, but in other respects, answer the description given of the beast.
