From the oldest surviving manuscript of the Book of Revelation, here’s the mark of the beast:

Rev. 14: 9-11 “And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice,
If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he also will drink the wine of God’s wrath, poured full strength into the cup of his anger, and he will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest, day or night, these worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name.”
In St. John’s vision from the Lord, he only saw the mark; so he recorded his image, on the document he wrote. It resembled three Greek letters with a bar over the middle. The middle shape resembles the Greek letter xi: ‘ξ’ which is pronounced gzee or kzee.

A few variations of xi on Google search:

From wiki page xi: majuscule and minuscule forms:

But, it’s difficult to show such a complicated shape in an online font.
They’re simplified it to look like this:
χξϛ
Koine Greek letters were also numbers . . .
. . . Writers and scribes used to draw a bar over all or part of a group of glyphs to show when it wasn’t a word. According to the earliest scribal copies of the Book of Revelation, like the one above one from the Codex Vaticanus of 350 A.D., the Mark of the Beast has a bar over the middle figure, the one that appears to be a Greek xi.
What the above example appears to show – from left to right without the bar:
‘χ’ = chi (pronounced kai) = 600,
‘ξ’ = xi (pronounced kzee or gzee) = 60
‘ϛ‘ = digamma, waw or wau = 6.
24.1 Glory God Beyond
In Koine Greek, ‘χ’ and ‘ξ’ were used as a letters or numbers, but ‘ϛ’ (digamma) had fallen out of use as a stand alone letter by St. John’s time. (But, the terminal form of sigma ‘Σ,’ has evolved over the centuries to look like it.)
Digamma the shape shifter.
Digamma was historically the most variable of all Koine Greek glyphs, In St. John’s day it was written like an asymmetrical ess ‘s.’ Two examples:
or ϛ
.
How the Mark of the Beast verse is usually translated:
“Wisdom is needed here. Let the one with understanding solve the meaning of the number of the Beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is 666.” Rev. 13:18 ESV
It seems like many Bible scholars aborted their search for the ‘wisdom’ when they decided that χξϛ, with a bar over it, is merely triple sixes, although it is a true concept since in Hebrew, 6 represents in-completion, and triplets have been used to magnify concepts.
I also refer the meaning of 666, and have come to think more and more that it’s an essential part of understanding the mark, because of what it represents. But I’m also of the opinion that it’s only one of two main layers of the interpretation in our search for wisdom, one that’s kind of taken on a life of its own. I was trying to write a bit more about it, but it became a really deep rabbit hole:
24.2 Glory God Beyond
Luciferian occultists have an unclean obsession with certain numbers, especially irrational numbers such as ‘pi‘ and ‘fi‘ The dark side uses them and other numbers, including 666, as seductive, crumbly pillars of occult esotericism in secret societies, even those with great power – but not great power when compared with God Almighty’s power. Don’t be led astray down that path! Don’t even study it much it if you’re weak – it’s spiritual pornography. They’ve come up with an entire falsified, incomplete cosmology, significantly based on such pillars.
They’ve attempted to built it up, literally and materially on Earth, ever since the fallen angels, probably starting with the pyramids, and now it’s also being built up virtually as it’ reaches it races toward its culmination with Artificial Intelligence.
Be careful what your eyes see:
They will serve up the enticing illusion that you’re being indoctrinated onto a rewarding journey leading toward acquiring the ultimate, powerful knowledge, but it really leads to your becoming obsessed, deluded and ultimately condemned.

But, what does God say?
.
My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. I tell you this so that no one may deceive you by fine-sounding arguments. Colossians 2: 3-4
24.3 Glory God Beyond
Luciferian occult knowledge is incomplete. It’s the road to nowhere. It’s full of false miraculous promises such as eternal life without Jesus Christ, etc.. So powerful is the delusion that most people will voluntarily sell their soul for it. So watch out; It’s about to have its heyday. Literally. Sound familiar?
Genesis 3: 3-6, ” but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’

‘You will not certainly die,’ the serpent said to the woman. ‘For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.
When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it.”
24.4 Glory God Beyond
Six hundred & Sixty Six:
in Hebrew:
תרס”ו
in Roman numerals:
DCLXVI
and of course, in Koine Greek

24.5 Glory God Beyond
No triplets!
I’m not saying the Antichrist’s name or title won’t add up to six hundred and sixty six, it might; Actually, I strongly suspect it will. It doesn’t have to be triplet for that to happen. But there’s more to it; As you know many prophesies have more than one layer of meaning. Again, I’m saying that the 666 triplet interpretation, is quite meaningful, just not the complete answer to the Rev. 13:18 riddle. Before we move on to the more compelling meaning of Rev 13:18, lets put a few of the pop culture interpretations in perspective:
In Hebrew, the sixth letter, called waw or vav, is also the number 6:
ו
The triple waw look like this ו ו ו

Note: In Hebrew, three waws or vavs in a row actually means ’18,’ not six-hundred-sixty-six.
Nevertheless, Westerners look at it through another lens so ו ו ו is used in pop culture to flaunt or insinuate the Beast. Anything will do for those who want to celebrate his emerging:

I believe Satan has been using anything that even hints at 666, not only as a hyped up esoteric number in the occult, but also as a symbol of loyalty to him.
And yes, that includes the hexagram.

God hated when the Jews carried this talisman. It was called the star of Remphan in the Bible. The Free Masonic symbol insinuates it, just with out the horizontal bars. It’s been used from the days of the Egyptian Pharaohs to beckon unclean spirits. This would be one mark to stay away from.
Many ungodly institutions have been integrating 666 into their logos to flaunt their genuine Luciferian leanings. Satan may be using all that flaunting, in part, to distract humanity from the main indication of the Mark of the Beast, the more important one; He’s been dangling 666 all across the world, both mockingly and seriously, from the occult to the secret societies version of it, and most importantly the modern in your face hiding in plain sight versions of it. Institutions like modern CERN, Google, Hollywood etc. as the emerging Beast/Babylon system has been coming out of the closet.
24.6 Glory God Beyond





I’m about to demonstrate that there’s another even more important explanation of the Mark of the Beast, which fits with the exact nations, prophesied to come against Jerusalem in Daniel’s 70th Week.
24.7 Glory God Beyond
Now let’s take another look a the original form of what St. John wrote:

24.8 Glory God Beyond
In the Name of Allah Submit
We should not ignore the fact that it says: In the name of Allah submit. From right to left in Arabic, the figure that looks like a ‘sigma/digamma’ means ‘in the name of’ in Arabic. The middle symbol, which looks like a serpent with a bar over it, means Allah, and can found written in different orientations. It’s worn on Islamic head and arm bands, flags, signs, jewelry wall signs, etc..
The figure on the left, shaped like X, is the symbol of Islam.
The crossed swords mean submit or submission.
It’s found on Islamic flags headbands and in many, other places.
Keep in mind it’s submission by force: Islam was imposed by violence from the beginning; That’s how it spread.
Below, you can see the ‘xi’ (pronounced kzee or gzee) drawn laying on its side facing right. That’s a very common way to see the Arabic word ‘Allah’ portrayed.

24.9 Glory God Beyond
Again, the full Arabic phrase, on the right, says, ‘In the name of Allah submit’.

I just wanted to show these examples again in this context.

About Misleading Translations:
The Koine Greek word ἀριθμός (arithmos) translated as ’number’ would be better translated as ‘multitude.’ That’s because ‘number’ implies a specific number. It’s the Greek word’s most common use, but the Greek word also means: ‘an indefinite number,’ equivalent to a multitude –
https://biblehub.com/thayers/706.htm.
A Multitude:

If ‘number’ is replaced by ‘multitude’ a very different understanding comes into focus! (Some translations might also require adjustment of the word ‘calculate’ or ‘count’ to its other meaning ‘reckon’ or ‘consider’.)
Here’s another typical translation of Rev. 13:18. I think it’s very misleading.
Here is wisdom: The one who has understanding must calculate the number of the beast, because it is the number of a man. His number is 666. Rev. 13:18 HCSB
But, here’s a valid translation that brings it all together in a different way:
This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight solve the meaning of the multitude of the beast, for it is the multitude of a man and his multitude SUBMITS IN THE NAME OF ALLAH. Rev. 13:16
24.11 Glory God Beyond

Hidden in plain sight, the Allah image is an image of a serpent holding a scepter (a scepter is what is held by a king) and wearing a crown.
In my opinion, the ‘Serpent King Allah’ image, combined with the two other two symbols, is the Mark of the Beast that St. John saw in his Revelation vision in 95-96 AD.
In the Name of Allah submit.
That was about 515 years before the 40 year old false prophet Mohammad made his false prophesies in 610 AD.

The Black Prince . . .
. . . is an important perpetual, dark title, one of a kind, that adds up to 666 in the original Hebrew numbering system (Mispar Hechrachi) and using the same gematria system English. He’s recognized as a descendant of King David and has been officially anointed as King of Israel.

He fits both the number: six hundred and sixty six and the phrase: ‘In the Name of Allah Submit’ because he’s converted to Islam.
He’s not what Christians were expecting, but He seems to be the best candidate for the Antichrist. See:
