Is "www" in Hebrew equal to 666?
We’ve gotten several emails asking is it true "www" is "666" in the Hebrew language.
YES. . . and. . . NO.
NOTE: "www" is the acronym for world wide web and is normally used as the prefix, or first node of the Internet domain names, such as www.av1611.org
FIRST. . . The YES.
How to get 666 from www?
The Hebrew and Greek alphabet does not have separate characters or alphabets for numbers and letters. Letters are also used as numbers. So each letter is a numerical value.
The Hebrew equivalent of our "w" is the letter "vav" or "waw". The numerical value of vav is 6. So the English "www" transliterated into Hebrew is "vav vav vav", which numerically is 666.
HEBREW-ENGLISH-NUMBER TABLE
The English equivalent is below the Hebrew letter (in parenthesis).
The number value of the Hebrew letter is below the English letter.
The "vav" or English "w" or "6" is highlighted in yellow.
By the way, Hebrew reads right to left.
vav vav vav = www = 666
Now. . . the NO.
A little "detail" concerning the Biblical number "666":
Notice how Revelation 13:18 reads:
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. Rev. 13:18
The number is NOT simply three SIXES or 6-6-6, but 600 + 60 + 6, or the number "Six hundred sixty and six".
In Revelation 13:18 we're curiously told to "count the number of the beast". How do we "count the number of the beast"? In Revelation 14:11 the mark is referred to "the mark of his NAME". In Revelation 13:17, 15:2 it's called "the number of his NAME". So the "mark" and "number" refer to his "name". We count the number of his name.
In the Greek and Hebrew language there are no "numbers" such as 1, 2, 3, or 666. The Greek and Hebrew letters are also numbers. Gematria is the adding up or "counting" (Rev 13:18), the numerical equivalent of each letter in a word or name. This was fairly common in the days before alphabetic numbers. For instance, on the walls of ancient Pompeii, someone wrote, "I love her whose number is 545".
For instance, it's common knowledge, the name of Jesus in Greek equals 888
Grant Jeffrey writes in Prince of Darkness:
The number 666 indicates that the letters in the Greek form of the name of the Antichrist will add up to 666. There is a slim possibility that his name will equal 666 in the Hebrew language since the Antichrist will be Jewish. The numeric system does not work in English or in languages other than Greek or Hebrew, so it is useless to calculate the values of names in these modern languages. (Grant R. Jeffrey, Prince of Darkness, pp. 275, 277)
The "count the number of the beast" is the total of adding the letter/numerical value of his name. This "count" equals "Six hundred sixty and six', not simply three 6's or 666.
So if we apply the clear teaching of Revelation 13:18 to the Hebrew "www", we actually have 6+6+6 or 18 — not 666.
Another interesting insight. . .
It’s also been discovered the Hebrew letter "vav" means "hook, peg or nail". The number "6" also resembles a "hook". Is the internet "hooking" the world into the 666 system.
IS THE WORLD WIDE WEB — 666: THE MARK OF THE BEAST?
Before some "simple soul" gets too excited and starts screaming the World Wide Web is "666" and a dozen new books hit the bookshelves declaring "666 Is Here"!, let’s briefly read what God says about 666: the mark of the beast:
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a MARK in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
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.
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. Rev. 13:16-18
The Mark of the Beast is received only after "worship" of the beast or his image.
"If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark. . . " Rev. 14:9
". . . who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark. . . " Rev. 14:11
" . . .which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image." Rev. 16:2
" . . . them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. . ." Rev. 19:20
" . . . which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark . . ." Rev. 20:4
Let’s compare the World Wide Web and 666: The Mark of the Beast.
Why the World Wide Web (www) is NOT 666: the Mark of the Beast
666 is total of the numerical values in the letters of the antichrist's name The World Wide Web is not a name.
666 is total of the numerical values of the letters in the antichrist's name The actual total of "www" is 18 — not 666.
666 is the number of a man, the antichrist, or the beast The World Wide Web is not a man.
The mark of the beast controls the ability to buy or sell The World Wide Web currently does not
The mark of the beast goes in the right hand or forehead The World Wide Web does not.
The mark is symbolic of the antichrist or beast The World Wide Web is not
The mark is received only after worshiping the beast The World Wide Web is not worship
Should I be concerned with "www" as "666"?
No.
What does all this mean?
Not much. Other than it's interesting and prophetic the number "666" seems to "pop-up" more and more. . . humhhhh. . .

In understanding the number system, I would keep the interpretations very loose. E.g. “the number of a man” could mean the numerical system used and understood by Man”. And 666 could well present in different ways. So we need to keep a very open mind and be prepared to see beyond the obvious in trying to understand the meaning/s of some of these things.
We need to be very selective and careful in our use of the www ….. also: “surfing the net” can become an obsession, so that we lose contact with our own reality ….. we might only peruse interesting, wholesome and informative stuff, but it can still be a trap. One of Satan’s tools? ….. and the medium could well be misused in the future by something or someone with great, evil power. Already there are viruses, spam, hackers etc. which intrude upon our privacy, and it is quite possible for our mail to be “tapped” ... so there is no real security.
Time, spped of light etc. …. Well, I remember the demonstrations in school, refraction of light through pyramids and water etc., …”the velocity of light is slowed” …. What’s velocity if its not “speed” …. And remember in Genesis it says “and God separated the Waters from above the firmament (space/heaven) from the waters below the firmament” …… what do you understand by that? What were these “waters” and did they affect the passage of light. Interesting that “white light” (pure light) separates into the colours of the rainbow…… when these colours are mixed and absorbed we have “black”. Like, a distortion of white light? Sort of? White reflects all the colours, black reflects none of them.
Thanks for the stuff on Black Holes. I am interested because I wonder whether there is a message for me there …. That they might be a symbol of evil, hell, spiritual darkness. So I’m throwing this around in my mind ….. wondering intensely about the gravity of this intense gravity (that’s a pun, ok, but so pathetic, I’d better point it out!! Well now, comes from the root word “grave”?) Depression…. A state of mind where one gets kind of pulled into this vortex of darkness and misery ….. a kind of hell. Anyway, I’m still just looking at it …. No conclusions yet.
Goodnight ………… ruth
Another thought about this 666 number..... I liked a thought I read on this blog ..."i think trying to predict the future is a misuse of the bible". Yes, the Bible is to warn us and prepare us, keep us alert and watchful against subtle, deceptive evils. So that we recognise what we have been warned against when the time comes. If we have the Spirit of Truth with us, we will know, because God promises us He will teach us all things.
Reading about the Dragon and the 2 Beasts ....they could be viewed as a Trinity of Evil? Hence 600 (for the Dragon)+ 60 (for the 1st Beast)+ 6 (for the 2nd Beast)?
However 666 probably represents anything evil, as it all comes from that beastly trinity.
Evil is frightening and serious. I have to confess I cannot find jokes about it funny, perhaps I am one of those phobic ones. I skipped them anyhow!
I am not afraid of evil when I feel God is near and in control of my life. I am very afraid if I think I have put myself out from under his protection by some wilfulness or dishonesty...missus r
