Yup, here we go. This really sounds like Far Religious Right blue-sky stuff. Except that it actually makes sense.

Before presenting the physical evidence, let’s just take a quick review of Christianity and Islam. Christianity as explained by Jesus, its foremost Prophet, worships kindness, love and life. Islam, as explained by its foremost prophet Mohammad, worships torture, blood and death. In Christianity, you go to Hell for committing unrepentant murder of any person. In Islam, you go to Paradise and are especially rewarded if you commit murder of anyone not a Muslim. Especially Christians and Jews.

Christianity worships life. Islam worships death.

Obviously, these two faiths are in direct polar opposition to each other. Now, the Book of Revelations was written centuries before Mohammad was born and Islam was ever even thought of, and it was written in Greek. Revelations, by the way, is the last book of the New Testament of the Christian Bible.

The most ancient Greek text known of the Book of Revelation dates to 350 AD, about 300 years before Islam arose, and these are the Greek symbols from that text that say “666″.

The X in Greek is 600. The next symbol is 60 and the third one is 6. The third Greek letter is pronounced “stigma”. Although its numerical value has changed since the first century, back in the first century, the stigma had a numerical value of 6. We might also note that the stigma has a literal meaning of “scar, mark, or badge of service”. Mark of the Beast, badge of servitude.

The X in Arabic is Crossed Swords, which stands for Conquest. The Greek symbols above that follow it are Allah on its side in Arabic followed by the Mark.

Below is Arabic for Allah, the Islamic god. See any similarities with the ancient Greek, including the sword mark over the Greek writing?:

Here’s a rant from one of many Muslims now proudly saying that Islam is the 666 in the Bible. Check out the website, it’ll make your hair stand up:
“The number 666 is highly publicized. all over the world and it is associated with evil and danger.
However, it is not what it seems. It was a Satanic trick.
The trick was to prevent the people approaching the 666.
Satan knew that the 666 is the book of GOD and the people should be kept away from it.
According to his plan, he placed a bad image to the number 666.”

It seems to be only recently that Muslims are saying “Yes, 666 represents Islam. 666 is the Koran.” You can find plenty of Muslim websites now by doing a search for 66619.org, that verify this.

Coincidences certainly do happen all the time, but this one is more than just a bit of a stretch. When even the Muslims agree that yes, 666 represents Islam and the Koran, then this Biblical mystery has to stand revealed.

The Bible scholars point on this is that the prophet who wrote Revelations envisioned the Arabic writing representing Allah, the Mark and so forth but saw it as Greek numbers. In other words, the number 666 isn’t actual, the Anti-Christ isn’t numbered 666, the Greek for 666 just happens to look like the Arabic script for the Koran and Allah so that’s what the Revelations author copied down.

I have to admit that I figured on the possibility that 666 was probably Islam and that’s what led me to digging into this. As it turns out, some others got there ahead of me, and in fact it was the Muslims who arrived at this conclusion first.
