Many have tried unsuccessfully to identify the beast and to calculate its number. But who or what is the beast, and why is it described with seven heads and ten horns? Is the beast a kingdom, a human leader, or both? Is its number 666 or 616? Will the end-time beast receive a deadly wound, which will be healed? Could the beast be a woman? Is the beast the Antichrist?

The Number of the Beast in Revelation
Many have attempted to calculate the famous number of the beast’s name, as mentioned in chapter 13 of the book of Revelation. Who or what is the beast, and why does it have seven heads and ten horns? Is its number 666 or 616? How are we to calculate or count the number? Are we to use the Greek, Hebrew or Latin language? Is the beast an Empire, a leader or both? If a leader, will he receive a deadly wound which will be healed? Could the beast be a woman? Do the beast’s identity, name and number have a special meaning for us today?
