Page 70 - The Mark of the Beast

Adam, was created on the sixth day from the dust of the earth. It is generally accepted that
the number six is representative of man, and particularly of the flesh man. The number six
is a very interesting number. When we multiply the number six by itself we arrive at the
number thirty-six. If we add up the sum of all the numbers from one to thirty-six we find
that the sum of these numbers is 666.
In verse 28 of Genesis chapter 1 we read God’s command to the man and woman to
“multiply.” This multiplication is done through the union of the man and the woman. Since
both Adam and Eve were of the earth, earthy, they could only produce offspring who were
also of the earth. They could produce living souls, but their union could not produce life
giving spirits. Therefore, the multiplication of Adam and Eve, flesh man (6) multiplying
with flesh woman (6), can only produce more of the same (36). If we are to calculate the
value of their offspring by summing them all up we arrive at 666.
Because Adam and Eve bowed to the beast, all of their offspring were subject to the
beast nature. They were marked, or engraved, with this nature and became subjected to
futility and wrath. It would take the divine seed of God being united with woman to produce
a man that was wholly man and wholly God. This man was Christ, who being in the image
of sinful flesh was Himself without sin. This Second Man was not earthy (beastly), but
heavenly. We must experience a second birth, a spiritual birth that arises from the seed of
Christ, in order that we might escape the bondage to the flesh and live as heavenly
creations.

I Peter 1:23
For you have been born again not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that
is, through the living and enduring Word of God.

Let us return to the flesh man and his relation to the number 666. God is the Author
of all creation and He has revealed His marvelous truths through the creation. As modern
science has advanced, that which is true science has only served to confirm the marvelous
design of God in the creation.
Today, scientists understand that there are certain elements that are found abundantly
throughout the universe. One element that is essential to all life, and which is found in all
organic life forms is carbon. No other element is linked to life to the extent to which carbon
is so linked. Therefore we often hear the phrase “carbon based life forms.” The life forms
that are dependent upon carbon are of the earth, earthy. Therefore, we should not be
surprised if we find in the element carbon a witness of the beast, and even the number of
the beast.
All elements are classified by the number of protons, electrons and neutrons that are
present within them. No two elements are the same. Only in the element carbon do we find
six protons, six electrons, and six neutrons. Thus, the life of all flesh is marked with the
numbers 666. Could God have engraved any deeper this stamp upon earthbound life forms?
Consider now the following words of the apostle Paul:

I Corinthians 15:50-53
Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God;
nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will
not all sleep, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at
the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raise imperishable,
