1. According to a literal reading of the Book of Revelation (King James Version), what does the number of the beast signify? |
Your Answer: A physical location The correct answer was His name Revelation 13:17 literally states that the number of the beast is "the number of his name": "And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name."
The number of the beast is mentioned a few times in the Bible, but the actual number 666 is only mentioned once, in Revelation 13:18: "Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."
Three items are mentioned here - the mark, the name and the number of the beast, with the latter being 666. Some sources interpret all three to mean the same thing - the mark of the beast. Other sources maintain that they are three different things, with the name and number being used to identify the beast, and the mark being something completely different.
Incidentally, people have tried to assign the number 666 to dates (such as the death of Pope John Paul II) and locations (such as the coordinates of Jerusalem). 70% of players have answered correctly. | | |

Your Answer: Hand or forehead Revelation 13:16 states that the mark will be "in their right hand or in their foreheads", while Revelation 14:9 states "in his forehead or in his hand", and Revelation 20:4 states "upon their foreheads or in their hands". The use of "in" versus "upon" has led to some interesting interpretations, with some sources believing that the mark will not be literally visible on a person but rather held in the hand or kept as knowledge within the forehead. 79% of players have answered correctly. | | |
