In my last post, someone said I couldn't be serious. In that post, I shared an image that says: "Prosperity is 666. It is the name of the beast." The Greek word that adds up to exactly 666 in Gematria is Euporia: https://biblehub.com/greek/2142.htm
I know many here are at a very low spiritual level, so I'll try to explain it as simply as possible. The word Euporia is the only nominative noun in the New Testament that adds up to 666. The translation of Euporia is prosperity. Yes, prosperity is the name of the beast. The seven-headed beast loves prosperity. That's why the woman called Babylon sits on the beast. The woman Babylon is the Jewish people. The seven heads are seven world empires. The first empire was the Chaldean Empire. In each of these empires, there were Jews. They played a crucial role. They were the source of prosperity. Remember the Jew Joseph. He was the source of wealth in Potiphar's house and in Egypt. It was always Jews. The woman sitting on the beast means the woman controls the beast. But then the beast will hate the woman and destroy her. The beast will destroy the Jewish people. And Revelation says that when the woman is destroyed, the entire world economy will collapse. The world will lose all its wealth. The nations will weep and cry out when they see that the woman has been burned.
Focusing on the well-being of who that number represents or doing what benefits who that number represents, that's a reasonable interpretation of how it could work without a literal physical mark, sure. But in context of the verses around it, I'd still say it's more likely about doing things beneficial to the Antichrist rather than just self-interest.
The passage states that anyone who does not accept this mark will be unable to buy or sell. Therefore, those who do not accept the mark face an existential threat. They are thus confronted with a dilemma: either they accept the mark and can participate in society, but incur God's wrath, or they do not accept the mark, but are rejected by society and killed. It is clearly a question of self-interest. A crucial point: Revelation states that the mark is the mark of the beast from the sea. The beast from the sea is NOT an individual person, but an empire. The mark therefore describes a system. The mark on the forehead means thinking as the system dictates. The mark on the hand means to act as the system dictates. It does not necessarily have to be a physical mark. However, the beast from the earth is indeed a single person and is the same as the little horn from Daniel 7. This beast will force people to accept the mark of the beast from the sea—in other words, to accept the system. Those who refuse will be killed.
Flaw: The little horn comes from the sea, not the earth (Daniel 7:3). So I don't think the little horn is the earth beast. The meaning is that the sea beast and little horn are clearly wicked and the earth beast appears righteous (lamblike).
