Number of the Beast - Wikipedia

What i consider an interesting story i heard in the distant past.
In Moscow there were lots of compliments about the number of the 666 bus. The transport authority changed the route number to 616.

The "666", almost without a doubt, refers to Caesar Nero.

Genesis 1: 24-31 deals with the sixth day of creation. This is when God creates the imperfect creation, that is different from paradise. The imperfect creation is the place Adam and Eve are sent after the fall. The mankind refereed to in the sixth day, came after the fall. On day six male and female were created. Yet,
Adam was created on the third day.

Genesis 1: 24 And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures of every kind: cattle and creeping things and wild animals of the earth of every kind.” And it was so. 25 God made the wild animals of the earth of every kind, and the cattle of every kind, and everything that creeps upon the ground of every kind. And God saw that it was good.

26 Then God said, “Let us make humankind in our image, according to our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the wild animals of the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.”

27 So God created humankind in his image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.

28 God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.” 29 God said, “See, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit; you shall have them for food. 30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. 31 God saw everything that he had made, and indeed, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

Adam is created on day three as discussed in Genesis 2: 5-9.

Genesis 2: 5-9 In the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens, 5 when no plant of the field was yet in the earth and no herb of the field had yet sprung up—for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was no one to till the ground; 6 but a stream would rise from the earth, and water the whole face of the ground— 7 then the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living being. 8 And the Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the east; and there he put the man whom he had formed. 9 Out of the ground the Lord God made to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food, the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

Day three is when Adam and paradise; Eden is formed. This is in Genesis 1 :9-13

Genesis 1: 9-13 and God said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so. 10 God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good. 11 Then God said, “Let the earth put forth vegetation: plants yielding seed, and fruit trees of every kind on earth that bear fruit with the seed in it.” And it was so. 12 The earth brought forth vegetation: plants yielding seed of every kind, and trees of every kind bearing fruit with the seed in it. And God saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.

On the sixth day, God creates the crawling things like snakes and the beasts of the earth. These are part of the imperfect creation. On the 3rd, 4th and 5th days in paradise, the lion lays with the lamb. The beasts are not wild beast. While the serpent or snake Satan is not crawling on the ground, but he is elevated in the tree of knowledge.

On the 6th day, God makes mankind in his image. On day 3, he forms man or Adam. Adam is called a living soul. Adam is formed but he is not made in the image of God. The image of God is about mankind, instead of the man; Adam. This could be explained as connected to human DNA, since this is common to all mankind. Adam is formed from the dust as a unique being. The image of God is more like a colony.

God rests on the seventh day. If the imperfect creation was made on day 6 and God rests on day 7, Satan. due to the fall, was in charge of the imperfect creation, while God rests. Satan is the CEO in charge of the imperfect creation. Knowledge of good and evil brings death, since humans become self conscious and self aware, unable to blend with instinct and nature.

The Number 666 is a trinity, connected to the sixth day of creation and the formation of the imperfect creation, into which Adam and Eve are banished. Satan is part of the 666 trinity.

The other two aspects are the beasts of the earth and sea. The beast of earth is symbolic of sensory reality. Sensory reality brings us in touch with creation via instinct. We know what is real by our senses and how the body reacts via instinct. The beast of the sea is symbolic of thoughts. Thought brings us in contact with reality, as we wish to see it, based on how we chose to explain it.

For example, the earth is round, but at one time is was thought to be flat. The beast of the sea would be the alternate reality that appears, based on underlings beliefs and premises. The collusion delusion was from the beast of the sea; brain subroutine.

The bible never discusses what God did on the eighth day, after he was all rested from day 7. Others were in charge as God napped on the seventh day.
