The Mark of the Beast Is Not What You Think
In this episode, we take a deep dive into Revelation 13:16–18 and unpack one of the most debated passages in the Bible. Is the number 666 a literal code? Could it actually be 616? And is the “mark” something physical… or something deeper? Dr. Hultberg explains how people in the first century used a practice called gematria which assigning numerical values to names and why many scholars believe the number of the beast may point to Nero Caesar, one of the earliest persecutors of Christians.
