The ancients claimed that God works by mathematics. Their religion was a conglomeration of religion, astrology, alchemy, physical and mental science, and mathematics. Ancient astrology divided the starry heavens into 36 constellations. These were represented by different amulets called "Sigilla Solis," or the sun seal. These amulets were worn by the pagan priests, and they contained all the numbers from 1 to 36. By these figures they claimed to be able to foretell future events. These amulets were usually made of gold, yellow being the sun color. While being carried, these amulets were wrapped in yellow silk, as it was thought that the bearer would thus receive the beneficial powers believed to emanate from the jewel.
The second illustration is also a solar seal, but it honors the star Basilisco, which was the diminutive form of the Greek basileus (king), thus meaning the same as the Latin regulus. Now, Regulus is the only first-magnitude star in the constellation of Leo. The sun and the moon are again clearly seen on this amulet, and on the reverse side is the same arrangement of numerals, with the actual figure given of the total 666.
The question that must be asked with reference to the above is, why were the ancient Babylonians wearing sacred amulets that were focused on the number (total) 666, seeing that John never revealed this number until Rev. 13:18 hundreds of years later - how could they have known.
Therefore, I think we can rest assured that the ancient Babylonian occultists were NOT worshipping the future man AC, BUT they were worshipping the god 666 who is depicted on the amulet above as the god of the Sun standing on the Lion (Babylonian).
So what can this all possibly mean? I suggest that this 1-36 Babylonian Magic Square which totals 666 represented 36 Star constellations and the SUN was the complete master/father of the 666 STARS (Adonikim = 666 Sons, which implies 666 Stars, which implies 666 Angels - demonic), which most likely represents the true meaning behind the purpose of the NUMBER of the Beast - 666. This is no doubt something symbolic regarding the angelic members of his occultic religion and government.
The number 666 must be more than just to say OK you have used gematria, etc. and have found my name - the number 666 represents something symbolically important to the Abyss Beast, in order that he would choose to use it to represent himself. As I have suggested earlier, the demonic Abyss Beast once ruled the Babylonian Empire and I think this ancient Magic Square which is well rooted in the Babylonian occult, has a direct correlation to the Beast and the worship of him.
Thus, the number 666 has substantial historical Babylonian ROOTS and involves far more than just a mere number equated to a name.
To recap, why would I, or anyone else for that matter, choose to search the proven pagan abstract models of gematria, over the WORD itself? WHAT was I THINKING?
God did not make this prophecy so complicated that everyone would need to hold a Th.D. or be a graduate of Harvard University to understand it NOR was it beyond understanding - man does that. This prophecy is a WARNING and we need to know and share its understanding, or just simply leave a gapping hole in our knowledge of God's Prophetic Word.
In closing, How could the ancient Babylonians have possibly KNOWN about the number 666 - John did not even reveal 666 until hundreds of years later and why was that particular number so important to them? Undoubtedly, The Babylonians, (the former wounded head) were worshipping the WAS/IS NOT Beast of Rev. 17:8 - the 8th King of Rev. 17:11 at that time - the 666 Beast.
Please note the number 666 at the bottom/center of the photo example.
This table as illustrated has the same arrangement of numbers as the above images in a 6 x 6 matrix and is also referred to in numerology as the magic square of the Sun. There are similar magic squares for Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus, Mercury and the Moon, all of which have been known for centuries.
The creating of amulets with this number arrangement that belongs to astrology appears to have continued well past the time of Christ. Archaeologists have found amulets with Latin inscriptions, so we know that the Romans were indulging in this practice. Therefore, the number 666 came about from pagan worship practices of the Babylonians and their practice of astrology. The symbolism of sun worship is still used in many areas of the Catholic Church today, not always obvious but often packaged discreetly as to not be noticed by the untrained eye.
When the Medes and Persians conquered Babylon in 539 B.C, they came with their own religious practices and gods, so had no need of the priests of the Babylonian religious system. Although the Persians were sympathetic towards the Babylonian god Marduk and did accommodate the priests of this god for a while, it appears from history that they eventually fired the priests and used their own. The Babylonian priests left Babylon (probably because they were out of work) and most of them went to Pergamum and some to Egypt where they taught their religious practices to the Egyptians. The Egyptians readily picked up these Babylonian religious concepts and further extended and developed some of the ideas we find in astrology.

These drawings from photographs taken in 1910, show actual amulets then in the Berlin Museum. They reveal the veneration the ancients had for the sun-god. On the front side of No.1 we see the god of the sun standing on the lion. This indicated the sun's position in the constellation of Leo during the hot days of August. On the back is inscribed "Nachyel," meaning "intelligence of the sun," and in 36 squares are arranged the numerals 1 to 36 (see table 1) in such a way that adding the numbers of any column either horizontally or vertically, and also the two diagonals crossing the square, the total is the same- 111. The sum of the six columns, computed either horizontally or vertically, is 6 x 111, or 666.
The solar seal was worn by the pagan occultic priests to honor the Basilisco KING - 666.

Therefore, the human host Man AC (the 11th Little Horn Beast) and the 8th King Scarlet Abyss Beast (Adonikam) are TWO different personages - one a mortal man and the other a demonic spirit.
