The BEAST is the SOLOMON Temple or the Jews. 666 - THE BEAST NUMBER “HERE IS WISDOM. One who has understanding calculation or number of the best; For it is the number of one man, and the number is six hundred and sixty-six. (Revelation 13.18) Solomon is number 666. Note that the author does not say that BEAST is a MAN but the MAN NUMBER. A quote "HERE IS WISDOM" confirms this theory because Solomon was famous for being very wise. As it was actually the Romans who wrote or Revelation based on the War on the Jews in the 1st century, a BEAST could refer to the same Jews and their religion. Solomon's Temple also represents a Jewish GOD'S HOUSE and the power of the Jewish religion. In 1 Kings 10:14 says that: “The weight of gold that came to Solomon in a year was six hundred and sixty and six talents.” This is strong evidence for Solomon, like 666, and is suggestive of wealth material that he gained from his wisdom.
