In this blog post, we discuss whether 616 is an angel number or a beast number, as there are many myths regarding the 616 angel number.
The 616 angel number according to the Bible
Here is what we find in The Bible passages regarding the Beast number:
“And he caused all that were present, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bound, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and no one could buy or sell without having this sign.
Here is wisdom. He that hath understanding, let him count the number of the beast. For it is a number of men. And his number is six hundred and sixty-six (666).” (Revelation 13: 16-18)
Papyrus 115 is the oldest manuscript of Revelation.
The New Testament was written in Greek, then copied, distributed around the world, and translated.
Most manuscripts, the passage quoted above, more precisely verse 18 of chapter 13 of the Book of Revelation, show that 666 is the number of the Beast.
The Greeks also used letters for numbers, and the ancient manuscript shows that, in fact, 616 is the number of the Antichrist:
The manuscript in question: the arrow points to χιϛ, ie the number 616.
The discoverers of this manuscript are Bernard Grenfell and Arthur Hunt. Papyrus 115, as it was called, dates from 225-275 AD.
The discovery of the papyrus took place in Egypt.
The difference between 666 and 616?
We may wonder how such a mistake could have been made or whether it was a malevolent act.
After all, in writing, in ancient Greek, the difference between 666 and 616 is only one iota (number 10).
The number 616 is written χιϛ, meaning the Greek numbers chi (600) + iota (10) + sigma (6).
And the number 666 is written χξϛ, ie chi (600) + xi (60) + sigma (6). The difference is iota, meaning just one iota. An iota with a small comma above becomes xi, i.e. 10 becomes 60.
What is the Beast?
Chapter 13 of Revelation describes two Beasts: the first comes out of the sea, the second comes out of the earth.
Theologians claim that the first is the Antichrist, and the second the false prophet, due to the following verse:
And the Beast was caught. And, with it, the false prophet was caught, who had done before it the signs with which it had deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and worshipped its icon. Both of them were thrown alive into the pond of fire, which burns with pumice. (Revelation 19:20)
616 angel number meaning
Leaving aside the theories of religion, if we choose to focus on what numerology says, the number 616 has nothing to do with a Beast.
616 angel number means that you should keep your thoughts fixed on heaven and let go of material worries.
Ask for help in straightening things out in the material world that are irritating or bothering you now.
Digit 1 from the 616 angel number means that you shall watch your thoughts carefully and make sure you think only what you want, not what you don’t want.
This sequence is a sign that an “opportunity” gate is opening and your thoughts are being fulfilled at record speeds.
1 is like the white light of a light bulb. It means that the universe has just recorded your thoughts and turned them into reality.
Are you happy with the thoughts the universe has captured?
If not, correct your thoughts (ask the angels to help you with this, if it is difficult for you to control or follow your thoughts).
Digit 6 from the 616 angel number means that your thoughts are now unbalanced, being too much focused on the material world.
This numerical sequence asks you to balance your thoughts between heaven and earth.
As in the famous “Sermon on the Mount,” angels ask you to take care of your soul and the service of others, knowing that your material and emotional needs will also be met.
Numbers and their meaning
The world, for most people, is a place of events.
Thus, the meaning of existence is ignored, without making any effort in this direction to discover, if the “so-called hazard” of fate does not contain an axis of events, a destiny that the human being is called to fulfil.
Today there is more and more talk about the confrontation of consciousness with an environment characterized by a complex function of reflection and response, a true universe – mirror, in which what man intends, creates a bed of events and also gathers in its own womb similarities.
The way in which consciousness took note of this informational universe, with a strong impact on its own structure, was that of synchronicities.
C. G. Jung defined synchronicities in terms of significant coincidences.
At different time intervals, the individual is confronted with a series of events whose message converges towards a very clear idea, understood in the most concrete way as a life lesson.
Although reason tends to deny a certain meaning of events that by their lack of causality seem to be separated, the intuition aroused by an overwhelming emotion in the face of “something else” that accompanies all these life situations, makes events come together. a complex “message” from existence.
This “message”, although it has many valences, seeks to awaken in man a new vision of life and the path that, as a conscious being, is meant to follow.
Synchronicity is not a superstition. Superstition involves assigning meaning to a particular event, based on pre-existing documentation.
For example, at the sight of a black cat, the idea of fatality is usually associated with this appearance.
In the case of synchronicity, the meaning of events bursts from within the being as an undeniable certainty, being a fruit of spontaneous intuition and not of a simplistic mental correlation.
Synchronicity can be recognized by its euphoric and sublime background that elevates consciousness for the moment to a new stage of understanding.
It is a moment of deep unification of the being as when a river that divides into several arms gathers at a new confluence, enriched with the view of so many landscapes.
Single synchronicity can lead an open mind to a state of deep inner amazement and joy, overwhelmed by an enigma that has arisen in the middle of the world, like the corner flower that rises from the cracks of the rock.
However, there are times when such synchronicities are intertwined in a single revelation, which this time acquires in an absolute way, the imprint of Divine Grace.
This “chain of synchronicities” not only leads to a vision of the universe as a network of mysterious and unsuspected connections (in Eastern philosophy, called tantra – “the magical fabric of the world”) but above it, it makes the presence of an Omnipresent Divine Powers, which move everything and bind everything in perfect coherence.
Synchronicity is thus the experience of the Divine outside us, in objectivity, while at the opposite pole, the mystical experience reveals God within us, as the Divine Self, from which the life of the spirit springs.
These two experiences underlie the path of spiritual evolution and they also refer to existence as a whole, the first being that which shows the connections of the world governed by an invisible and transcendent Power, and the second that things are irradiated from within by an inexhaustible source of love.
They actually complement and support each other: by discovering love from within you become aware of the presence of the Divine which later reveals to you that everything is mysteriously connected to this love and through it all that is.
Synchronicity is one of the fastest and most effective ways of spiritual awakening and access to a path that leads to inner transformation.
Especially nowadays, when the informational aspect has acquired the most important share, man is ready to understand the energetics of the cosmic organism and through an illuminating flash to begin to seek to find out and fulfil his purpose in life.
Entering a spiritual path is thus equivalent to an escape from the law of accident and the beginning of a path that, having as its first vision the synchronicities, will always remind him that everything has a meaning and his destiny is guarded by the Great Presence.
Such a living experience of Divine Truth is found admirably expressed by the great scientist Albert Einstein: “The magnificent and deepest emotion we can feel is the ineffable state of mystery. There is the germ of any true science.
He to whom this emotion is foreign, who does not know how to let himself be seized with admiration and sink, lost in himself by ecstasy, is already a dead man: to know that what is enigmatic to us and impenetrable nevertheless exists manifesting itself.
It is the highest wisdom and the most beautiful, radiant beauty that our obtuse faculties perceive only in an extremely primitive form — this certainty, this intoxicating feeling, is at the heart of any true sublime state.
