666.
pp. 47, 48
We have received an interesting letter from J.H.E. (Bournemouth), in connection
with the article on page 119 of Volume 13: In connection with Solomon's revenue of
666 talents of gold, J.H.E. points out that both the Greek word for "wealth" in
Acts 19: 25 (euporia), and for "scattered" in I Pet. 1: 1 (diasporas), give the total 666.
For the benefit of our readers, and to apply our own maxim "Search and see", we tested
the numerical values which are as follows:--

The suggestion is that there will be a connection between the "dispersion" (Israel) and
the beast at the end, and possibly a great co-operative movement where nobody, except
those who have the mark of the beast, will be allowed to either buy or sell. The
atmosphere and setting of Acts 19: 25 is, with Alexander the Jew, a fair picture of what
will happen in the days to come. We thank our brother for his helpful note on this
subject.
