- >>What is so significant about this number "666"?
-
- 1 Kings 1-11 describe the process of the wisest man in the world,
- the Isrealite king Solomon, selling out to foreign women and Gods.
-
- 1 Kings 10:14 - Solomon received 666 talents of gold a year.
-
- I think that at the time it was written, the 666 symbolism in
- Revelation would have warned it's Scripture literate readers of turning
- their backs on God's wisdom.
