Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.

Revelation 13:18

Click for a post on the number of the beast is the number of the man.

The image that Nebuchadnezzar dreamt about, and which Daniel interpreted, is the figure of a man. The image was metal from head to toe, except the feet which were part clay. The image of the man is not of the human spirit nor of the Spirit of Christ, which relates to calculating the number of the beast which is the number of the man. The phrase, “Let him that hath understanding calculate the number of the beast…” is letting us know that the beast is not spiritual in nature but is artificial and worldly. The “666” is that it blasphemes God (6), it discards the need for Jesus Christ (6), and it tramples on the Holy Spirit (6).

Satan operates to destroy the Spirit of God and the human spirit so that the two never bond. We live in a technological age that controls every aspect of the lives of people around the world. Space technology was seen by Ezekiel when in a vision he saw the space shuttle, the space station, and the space satellites, click here to read what Ezekiel says about space technology and satellites. Technology has become intertwined with people, and we can safely say that the number of the beast is the number of the man. People are living by the artificial intelligence which forms what they think, feel, and do, and which synchronizes them to the mark of the beast.

The feet mixed with iron and clay does not mix well, which is why there is always conflict, chaos, upheaval, and war under the global government of the beast. God created the human spirit to mingle with His Spirit through Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit is given to us through the remission of sin. The human spirit is not made to mingle with the thing which forms what a person thinks, feels, and does. As the global government of the beast progresses, the global tribulation intensifies and this world’s system collapses. Jesus Christ is coming back to destroy the beast, the mark of the beast, and Satan.

The head of the image is the most valued part of hybrid humanity.

“You, O king, were watching; and behold, a great image! This great image, whose splendor was excellent, stood before you; and its form was awesome. This image’s head was of fine gold…” Daniel 2:31-32a.The image of the beast is talked about in Daniel chapter 3, and for a post about the image of the beast click this link, also click this link for a verse-by-verse description of the beast.

The head is the most valued thing to the global government. The head of the image is the focus, it is gold meaning that it is of supreme value to the rest of the image. The head relates to the thing that has the ability to form what we think, feel, and do. It has no use for the human spirit nor for the Spirit of Christ because it controls emotions, feelings, and what people do through the mind. It denies God, discards the need for the remission of sin through Jesus, and tramples on the Holy Spirit.

The head synchronizes people to the mark of the beast. The head of the image synchronizes people to the mark of the beast, and humanism is the clothing it wears. It speaks with humanistic and churchy sounding words because the churches and humanism are like the “two horns like a lamb” that sets on its head, “Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon.” Revelation 13:11 The beast with two horns like a lamb replaces the Spirit of Christ and has no need for the human spirit.

The head controls what we feel and think and ignores the Spirit. The head relies solely on using the mind to create pleasant and nice emotions and worships the creature instead of the Creator. That’s another way of saying that the human being is more important than God, which is what humanism believes, and is rooted in the mark of the beast. God created us to have fellowship with His Spirit within our Spirit through Jesus Christ who gives us the Holy Spirit. We are made to be the home of the Holy Spirit and not to be the home of the thing that forms what we think, feel, and do to synchronize us to the mark of the beast.

The head controls all species of animals and humans. “You, O king, are a king of kings. For the God of heaven has given you a kingdom, power, strength, and glory; and wherever the children of men dwell, or the beasts of the field and the birds of the heaven, He has given them into your hand, and has made you ruler over them all—you are this head of gold.” Daniel 2:36-38 Nebuchadnezzar was the mastermind behind the Babylonian empire, which was the world government of that time.

Today, the thing that has power over physiology has power over people, animals, and birds by forming feelings, emotions, behaviors, and thoughts. They include people into the same classification as animals because the only thing they govern by is physiology. The consequences are tragic of worshiping the creature over the Creator, discarding the need for Jesus Christ, and trampling on the Holy Spirit, as stated below,

Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’ She has become a dwelling for demons and a haunt for every impure spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal.

Come out of her, my people,’ so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues; for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes.

Revelation 18:2, 4-5

The arms, belly, and thighs: A world divided between those who have and don’t have.

“…its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze,” Daniel 32b.

The chest: Esteem, pride, and the heart of life. The image of the man in the dream has a chest of silver. The chest usually refers to esteem, pride, and the heart of life. With it being silver, it is symbolic of being hardened to the human spirit which is receptive to mixing with the Spirit of Christ. That means esteem, respect, matters of the heart, etc. are withheld from the followers of Christians and anything to do with Christianity. Those who live and govern by the mark of the beast (the image of the person in this chapter) intend to keep their enemies downtrodden, poor in spirit, brokenhearted, oppressed, and bruised.

Because the head has high priority, (which is able to form what a person thinks, feels, and does) esteem, respect, love etc. are given to those who are synchronized to the mark of the beast.

The arms: Buying, selling, giving, and receiving. The arms of silver do nothing for the human spirit which is open to mixing with the Spirit of Christ. They curtail the ability of Christians to buy, sale, or to receive personal enrichment in any form. In one way, that is already seen in the world today as the churches no longer embrace the Gospel of Jesus Christ, but many are lively, active, wealthy and dead to Jesus. Some of the few and faithful Churches of the Gospel of Christ are small, financially poor, and barely able to keep their doors open to the public. To have more than a handful in attendance is an accomplishment.

The head has high priority, so only those who are in tune to the thing that forms what they think, feel, and do will receive anything from the arms of silver. Whatever the arms do for them is because they are synchronized to the mark of the beast.

The belly: Basic human needs. The belly refers to the place of basic human needs to keep us alive, such as food. With the belly being bronze, those who are alive to the human spirit and mixing with the Spirit of Christ are last in line to receive basic human needs. Those who govern and live by the mark of the beast will let Christians starve before they give their resources to their enemies.

Today, there is already economic scarcity for many people. Homelessness is horrendous in the area where I live and is like that all across the nation. Substance abuse is horrendous as Narcan is given away free like food in a food line. Mass migration is horrendous at the Mexico/USA border with over 200,000 per month seeking entry into the United States. They have no shelter, no food, no social belonging, no esteem, etc. It is like that at borders around the world. As the global government of the beast gets stronger and stronger, it will be a matter of policy to let it continue, without even trying to pretend to fix it.

Because the head of gold has priority over all things, those who welcome the thing that forms what they think, feel, and do will have their basic needs fulfilled. That is considered one of the privileges of living by the mark of the beast.

The thighs: Mobility and bodily functions. Without thigh muscles, a person is basically a sitting duck and has no control over most aspects of bodily functions. The thighs of bronze means that the mobility of those who live in the human spirit, and are receptive to the Spirit of Christ, are shut down. Those who live and govern by the mark of the beast do not want Christians to circulate through their “democratic” society. Today, it’s obvious that Christianity is shut-in within the person and does not pass beyond the front door when it’s necessary to be in public places.

Because the head of gold has high priority, the mobility within the “democratic” society of the beast is reserved for those who are in tune to thing that influences what they think, feel, and do.

The downward spiral of the global government of the beast. “But after you shall arise another kingdom inferior to yours; then another, a third kingdom of bronze, which shall rule over all the earth.” Daniel 2:39 The dream of Nebuchadnezzar had a specific meaning for him during the time of the interpretation of the dream. The kingdoms that conquered the Babylonian empire would be a degradation or corruption of Nebuchadnezzar’s kingdom. That degradation and corruption applies to the prophecy meant for us today.

The global government of the beast starts its downward spiral as soon as it begins to deny God, discard the need for Jesus Christ, tramples on the Holy Spirit, and tosses aside the followers of Christ. Today, it withholds esteem, respect, social acceptance, sharing of resources, basic human needs, mobility, etc. from those who are alive to the human spirit and mixing with the Spirit of Christ. Global chaos and tribulation progress forward as the global government of the beast becomes stronger and stronger.

The verse below reveals the consequences of the above paragraphs, and the black horse represents death. The followers of Christ are of no worth to the image of the man (humanity) revealed in this chapter of Daniel. The balances refer to the economic and social injustices between those who live for Jesus Christ and those who live by the mark of the beast.

When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come and see.” So I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a day’s wages, and three quarts of barley for a days wages; and do not harm the oil and the wine.”

Revelation 6:5-6

A turbulent world divided between humanness and hybrid humanity: legs feet and toes.

The legs and feet: These are what the global government stands on.  “its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay.” Daniel 2:33 It’s very difficult to stand on feet being part clay and part iron, but that is what the global government of the beast is standing on. It stands on the masses in every city around the world who live by the mark of the beast because it governs through the mark of the beast. The iron is like the people who live by the thing which forms what they think, feel, and do and are synchronized to the mark of the beast. The clay is like people who are alive in the human spirit mixed with the Spirit of Christ.

Also, the mixture of clay and iron is like corrupting the human spirit to conform it to the thing which wants to sit in the temple of God, our body, as God. However, God created the human soul to fellowship with His Spirit through Jesus Christ who gives us the Holy Spirit. The global government is trying to stand on something that will never establish a harmonic union. In a sense, it’s like the Israelis and Palestinians contentiously mingled together in Jerusalem, the West Bank, and along the Gaza strip. Also, it describes when the whole world makes war with the children of God, as stated in the verses below,

Then it opened its mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. It was granted to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given it over every tribe, tongue, and nation. All who dwell on the earth will worship it, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

Revelation 13:6-8

Brutality of the global government of the beast in these last days. “And the fourth kingdom shall be as strong as iron, inasmuch as iron breaks in pieces and shatters everything; and like iron that crushes, that kingdom will break in pieces and crush all the others.” Daniel 2:40 The fourth kingdom is describing the final conquest after the Babylonian kingdom was destroyed by the other kingdoms. Babylon went from the very valuable head of gold to the degraded arms and chest of silver, to the more degraded thighs of bronze, to the completely degraded legs of iron and feet of clay and iron. This completely debased fourth kingdom breaks everything it touches, and it completely saturates the world.

Today, the fourth kingdom represents the very last days of the global government of the beast. The breaking in pieces and shattering everything describes the chaos, turbulence, tribulation, and upheaval that takes place in every city around the world. The iron is nothing as glorious as gold and is one of the less valuable metals on earth. This is symbolic for explaining the breaking and shattering as being nothing glorious at all, but absolutely brutal and filled with persecution.

The world plunges into the darkness of chaos. “Whereas you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter’s clay and partly of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; yet the strength of the iron shall be in it, just as you saw the iron mixed with clay.” Daniel 2:41 The unity of the global government of the beast will be plagued with division, conflict, and chaos between nations. The United Nations will no longer be a governing power. “And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly fragile.” Daniel 2:42 The world environment will be very fragile and not enabling the global government of the beast to stand firmly on the world stage.

“As you saw iron mixed with clay, they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay.” Daniel 2:41-43 Daniel 2:43 The thing that has power to form what a person thinks, feels, and does has no power at all to mix with the human spirit. That’s like trying to mix iron with clay. The human spirit is created by God to mix with the Spirit of God through Jesus Christ who gives us the Holy Spirit. The human spirit and the Spirit of Christ cannot be conformed to the mark of the beast, that is why those who govern through the mark of the beast wants to destroy the Spirit. God is the potter, and we are clay, and He conforms us to the image of Jesus Christ.

When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come and see.” So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth. When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. And they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?

Revelation 6:7-10

The hostile divisions will be present in homes, between neighbors, and in cities around the world. On another level, there will be wars, rumors of wars, and total chaos and tribulation around the world. That is what happens when there is a hatred for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This is a period where the Holy Spirit has been taken out of the world, Jesus Christ is despised, God is mocked, and Christians suffer enormously (even to the point of being murdered).

Jesus Christ the rock destroys the global government.

Jesus Christ is the Son of God who brings down the beast. “You watched while a stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces.” Daniel 2:34 The stone made without hands is the virgin birth of Jesus Christ who came to destroy sin and death and to rescue the sinner by the remission of sin. The sinners include those who live by the mark of the beast and conform to the thing that has the ability to form what they think, feel, and do. The clay is the human beings whose soul is meant to be shaped by the hand of God through Jesus Christ. He is the potter, and we are the clay. The clay of the human spirit is corrupted by denying God, discarding the need for Jesus Christ, and trampling on the Holy Spirit.

The feet represent the masses of people in every city around the world on which the global government of the beast stands. The world government has its power, and governs, through everyone who lives by the mark of the beast. The global government of the beast is broken into pieces as the masses they stand on are thrown into chaos, tribulation, and upheaval happening in every city worldwide. Jesus Christ is coming back in total victory over His enemies.

The human soul doesn’t mix with worldly devices. The soul of human beings is made to have fellowship with the Spirit of God through Jesus Christ. The human spirit mixes with the Spirit of Christ to make us the home of the Holy Spirit. The soul of people does not mix with the thing that forms what we think, feel, and do because it wants to synchronize the soul to the mark of the beast. It corrupts the human spirit and discards the Spirit of Christ.

There will be chaos and tribulation in this world, like never before, because iron doesn’t mix with clay, in the same way that the human soul doesn’t mix with the thing that wants to reside within us, “…it opposes and exalts itself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that it sits as God in the temple of God, showing itself that it is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:4 We are the temple of God in which it wants to sit.

Hybrid humanity is destroyed and Jesus Christ reigns as King of kings. “Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were crushed together, and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors; the wind carried them away so that no trace of them was found. And the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.” Daniel 2:35 The global government of the beast exists through the hybrid human being, from the gold head to the iron/clay feet. That explains the phrase, the “number of the beast is the number of the man.” It will be totally destroyed, and Jesus Christ will reign as Lord of lords.

The hybrid humanity, on which the global government of the beast stands, will be destroyed. It will no longer have the masses of hybrid people to stand on. It will no longer be able to hunt down and stop the mobility of Holy Spirit filled Christians. It will no longer be able to withhold respect and basic needs from Christians. The head, which forms what we think feel and do to synchronize us to the mark of the beast will be crushed. All components of the hybrid person will be crushed, and the global government of the beast will be like chaff in the wind. Jesus Christ is the great mountain who fills the whole earth as the King of kings and Lord of lords.

The global government is the last of all earthly governments. “And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.” Daniel 2:44 The global government, which we see progressing forward today, is the last government this earth will ever know. When it collapses, there will not be another government to step into its place because every nation and people of this earth will be totally destroyed. Today, we are seeing the kings of the government of the beast, this is the government during which Jesus Christ returns to destroy it and set up His eternal Kingdom.

The fulfillment of prophecy is certain and is happening today. “Inasmuch as you saw that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold—the great God has made known to the king what will come to pass after this. The dream is certain, and its interpretation is sure.” Daniel 2:44-45 It’s obvious that the prophecies of Daniel, and of the whole Bible is certain. We see the prophecy concerning hybrid humanity coming to pass today. The human spirit is being corrupted and mixed with the thing that is able to form what a person thinks, feels, and does. It synchronizes a person to the mark of the beast to sit in the temple of God, our body, as if it is God. The Spirit of Jesus Christ is discarded, and the existence of the Creator God is denied. The destruction of the global government of the beast is certain and Jesus Christ is coming back to reign as the King of kings.

Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures:

‘The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone.
This was the Lord’s doing,
And it is marvelous in our eyes’?

“Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a nation bearing the fruits of it. And whoever falls on this stone will be broken; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder.

Matthew 21:42-44

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:1
