The Meaning of 666
In traditional religious interpretation, 666 is commonly associated with the beast, the Antichrist, and the idea of evil. This chapter approaches the number differently: as a neutral number within the order of the Nine-System, examined in connection with 142857 and as a coded reference to Rome through Herod the Great.

The Structural Connection between 142857 and 666
Despite the fact that the sum of the numbers 142 and 857 shows the highest number of the Universe — 999, from another perspective it also reveals the number 666.
The beginning of many answers lies in three-digit numbers. Everything else is a continuation of the path toward these answers.
For this reason, each key consists of three digits.
To examine the connection between the three sixes and the number 142857, it is necessary to divide this number into two three-digit numbers without changing the order of the digits.
Thus we obtain:
142 and 857
Let us arrange these two numbers in horizontal rows of a table.
The Law of the Column
In the world of numbers, there is no complete column consisting of only two digits. If only two digits are present in a vertical column, the missing third digit is determined by the key in which those two digits occur. The full list of the keys can be found in the chapter Rules for Creating Systematic Tables.
In the table below, the vertical rows of digits show the keys:
- 1–8–6
- 4–5–6
- 2–7–6
Thus, the third row of the column is formed as:
6 6 6
| 1 | 4 | 2 |
| 8 | 5 | 7 |
| 6 | 6 | 6 |
| 1 + 8 + 6 = 15 → 6 | 4 + 5 + 6 = 15 → 6 | 2 + 7 + 6 = 15 → 6 |
Each vertical column reduces to a digital root: 6.
666 within the Sphere of Nine
In the seven tables it is evident that all numbers — including 666 — are subordinated to the Divine Nine.
Within this sphere:
- 999 is the number of the highest world.
- The key 369 stands above the world of numbers in the Sphere of Nine.
If you wish to examine an example of the properties of the three sixes, go to the page where the decoding of the crop-field drawing is presented. There you will also see the fact of the presence of three sixes within the Sphere of Nine.
In the three sixes there is a lesser mystery than in the key 2–4–6, which will be discussed separately when the time comes.
The Key 246 in Action with the Main Key
For now, let us show how the key 246 acts together with the main key 369.
In the table below, the rows form 369, 246, and 123, and their digital roots reveal the sequence 9, 3, and 6.
The third number of the column turns out to be 123.
| 3 | 6 | 9 |
| 2 | 4 | 6 |
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
Digital roots of the numbers
| 3 + 6 + 9 = 18 → 9 |
| 2 + 4 + 6 = 12 → 3 |
| 1 + 2 + 3 = 6 → 6 |
The number 123 is usually the beginning number in the tables, since it is the smallest three-digit number without zero and with different digits.
Three Variants of Interaction: Key 246 and 123
Three variants from the keys 2-4-6 and 1-2-3:
| 246 | 246 | 246 |
| 123 | 321 | 132 |
| 369 | 198 | 387 |
Magic square:
| 246 | 819 | 573 |
| 873 | 546 | 219 |
| 519 | 273 | 846 |
The left table showed three sums:
- 369 — the main key
- 198 — the set of digits of the Highest Trinity
- 387 — the set with which the 13th key forms a magic square.
The Slavic Calendar, 25 December 5508, and the Key 396
The modern count of time is taken from the year of the birth of Jesus. This order began to be established several centuries ago. According to another chronological calculation, the year 2021 A.D. corresponds to the year 7,529 from the true beginning of our civilization.
If this chronology is used, then the date associated with the birth of Jesus falls on 25 December in the year 5,508, on the eve of the beginning of the year 5,509.
The Vedic number of the date 25 December 5508 is 396:
25.12 × 5508 = 138–360–96.
As you can see, this Vedic number shows the first key of world construction.
The Date of Jesus’ Death and the Number 666
The death of Jesus is traditionally dated to 33 A.D. Symbolically, the date may be connected with 21 December, when the “death” of the sun begins for three days. The Vedic number of 21 December 33 is 666:
21.12 × 33 = 69–69–6.
The same value also appears in the year 7,530, which corresponds to 2022 A.D.:
21.12 × 7530 = 159–033–60.
The Neutrality of 666 and the Origin of Fear
The number 666 is neutral within the numerical structure of the Nine-System. Fear was attached to this number through ignorance, manipulation, and later religious explanations that turned 666 into a symbol of the Antichrist, the beast, and absolute evil.
The term “Antichrist” can be understood as a figure who opposes established symbolic forms — one who challenges the dominance of symbols associated with the lower world.
A cross with an elongated lower part is a symbol of the lower world. When such a form becomes central in church architecture, it is presented as a sign that the lower world is placed above the middle world. This came to certain religious practices: praying to the cross, wearing it, blessing oneself with it, and walking counterclockwise around the church during a procession.
Revelation 13:18
In the Book of Revelation, the apostle John writes:
“Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is six hundred and sixty-six.”
— (Revelation 13:18)
The secret of this phrase is revealed below.
Herodes Magnvs — Calculation through the Ancient Latin Alphabet
If the name is rendered in the Latin form “Herodes Magnvs”, we may analyze it using the ancient Latin alphabet:
| A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | V | X | Y | Z |
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 |
Digital Roots of the Letters
Herodes → 8, 5, 8, 5, 4, 5, 9
Magnvs → 3, 1, 7, 4, 2, 9
Multiplication of the Digits
Multiplying the digits:
8 × 5 × 8 × 5 × 4 × 5 × 9 = 288000
3 × 1 × 7 × 4 × 2 × 9 = 1512
Formation of the Column
We arrange the resulting numbers into a column and use the first three digits for this column reading. The first row is formed from 288000 as 2-8-8. The second row is formed from 1512 as 1-5-1. Since each vertical row must be completed by the key in which its first two digits occur, the missing third digits are taken from the keys 2-1-3, 8-5-2, and 8-1-6. Thus, the third row is completed as 3-2-6.
| 2 | 8 | 8 |
| 1 | 5 | 1 |
| 3 | 2 | 6 |
| = 6 | = 15 | = 15 |
| Digital root: 6 | Digital root: 6 | Digital root: 6 |
The vertical sums are:
6 – 15 – 15
Reducing these sums to their digital roots gives:
6 – 6 – 6
Why Herod the Great Is Considered in This Calculation
Revelation 13:18 states that the number of the beast is also “the number of a man.” It was a coded indication given by the apostle John in order to connect it with a concrete historical figure — Herod the Great.
Herod the Great was used by the apostle John as a historical marker pointing toward the Roman sphere of power. The coded indication does not stop with Judea; it leads further to the authority behind it. In this way, the calculation gives later generations a concealed but precise reference to Rome and to the religious-political order that grew from its sphere of influence.
A Coded Reference in Revelation
Thus, 666 must be understood as a coded reference within the phrase of the apostle John. It does not name Rome directly, but points to Rome indirectly through Herod the Great, a ruler of Judea under Roman authority.
A direct reference to Rome would not have preserved the message for later generations. In the historical context of John’s time, and considering the centuries that followed up to the present day, this was a remarkably wise solution: a direct accusation against Rome could not have passed imperial scrutiny or survived openly in circulation. For this reason, the indication is presented in coded form, so that its meaning would remain hidden until the appropriate time.
If the calculation of Herod’s name had led to another number, the coded number in the text would have been different.

FAQ: 666 — A Coded Hint in Revelation 13:18
The number 142857 is divided into two three-digit numbers: 142 and 857. When these are arranged as two rows, the missing third row is completed according to the keys of the system as 6-6-6. Each vertical column then reduces to the digital root 6.
In the numerical structure of the Nine-System, 666 is treated as a number within the same order, not as an independent principle of evil. The fear surrounding 666 is explained as a later distortion that connected the number almost exclusively with the Antichrist, the beast, and absolute evil.
The number 666 is presented as a coded reference associated with Herod the Great and an indirect link to Rome within the narrative of Revelation 13:18.
