Rev_13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark (a scratch or etching, that is, stamp (as a badge of servitude), or sculptured figure (statue): - graven, mark) in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count(to use pebbles in enumeration, that is, (genitive case) to compute: - count. ) the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six (Χ ξ ς ).

Three Greek letters: Χ ξ ς 3 Greek letters: chi xi stigma Pronounced: khee xee stig'-ma The 22 nd (1 st ), 14 th (2 nd ) and an obsolete letter (3 rd )(G4742 as a cross: + ) of the Greek alphabet (intermediate between the 5th and 6th), used as numbers; denoting respectively 600, 60 and 6; 666 as a numeral: - six hundred threescore and six.

Stigma is an obsolete letter since the 19 th century and is not being used now. It occurred between the 5 th and 6 th letter in the Greek alphabet and shown on the chart before Its mark is: ς and is designated as a cross : + at times Alternates are: ΣΤ, στ, l the letter sequence ΣΤ ʹ or στ ʹ is often used in lieu of ʹ itself to write the number 6: stigma, stig'-mah, from a primary word στίζω stizō (to stick, that is, prick) ( G4742 from a primary stizo (to "stick", i.e. prick) as a stauros meaning a pole or post: l.)

χ or chi=khee ξ or xi=xee ς = stigma, ΣΤ=sigma and Tau, στ =lower case for sigma and tau, + = cross or plus or l= pole = χ ξ ς(ΣΤ or στ,+, l)

The monogram is made up of the 1st, 2nd, and last letters of the name. The Greek Chi = Χ, then the Greek letter Rho = Ρ, and the Greek letter Stigma= When we superimpose them we have this looking very much like the Greek signs for 666. The Chi Rho is the symbol for the name of "the Christ"name

Pharmaceutical Academic Society where one has to get initiated into in order to be a member.

Rev_13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Units: 6 Tens: still 6 Hundreds: still 6 = 666, why? Gen_3:19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. Man fell and lost is fullness, or sacredness or holiness or sheh-bah or 7 and had become nothing more than the other creatures of day 6, a beast bearing the number of his day: 6. He lost the image and likeness of His Maker: Sheh-bah or 7 or Holiness But the devil exult at this saying by sigma, 6 or + or T I have evoked the death of the Son of God and this is the meaning of the cross in pagan worship an exultation of slaying the Messiah. But this is not true for no man take my life I lay it down, John 10: 17. This was also recorded from creation when He stooped on Day 6 and formed man of the dust of the ground indicating that being formed in the fashion of a man He would stoop or humble himself unto death in his redemption which he also did on Day 6 called Friday, and rested in the Tomb on day 7 and was resurrected on Day 1 to accord with the precepts and statutes of His Law.

Rev_18:4 Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

For Knowledge check on the persecution of Christians in THE DARK AGES

But at its core its quite the opposite like a Secret Society-lets hear what the bible has to say about it:

Rev_13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: which means they do the same things and think alike as the beast

It means a settling or sealing but in this case it is in evil, a lie or falsehood, hence the following: Rev 9:4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God (they have instead the mark of the beast) in their foreheads (they have instead the knowledge of evil). Rev 9:20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils (breaking Commandment#1), and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood (breaking Commandment#2): which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: Rev 9:21 Neither repented they of their murders (breaking Commandment #6), nor of their sorceries (G5331, Greek: Φαρμακεία, Pharmakeia, far-mak-i'-ah From G5332; medication (pharmacy), that is, (by extension) magic (literal or figurative): - sorcery, witchcraft.(breaking Commandment #9 & #10), nor of their fornication (breaking Commandment#7), nor of their thefts (breaking Commandment#8). By inference Commandment #3,#4 and # 5 are broken too, James 2:10, For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. Thus the system will cause all great, small, rich and poor to receive the mark in their forehead and right hand means all will be led in rebellion to God, the Creator, in not obeying His will as expressed in His Law and His Ten Commandments.

sorceries (G5331, Greek: Φαρμακεία, Pharmakeia, far- mak-i'-ah From G5332; medication (pharmacy), that is, (by extension) magic (literal or figurative): - sorcery, witchcraft Remember witches mix portions, and use repetitions or enchantments for their spells attracting devils by these. That is why obeah workers visit the pharmacy for portions. That is why the Pharmaceutical Society also bear the logo, mark or stamp

The Mark of the Beast represents a network or system that is worldwide (not limited to any country) so none will be excluded, both small, and great, rich and poor, except those who receive the seal of God in their foreheads and their right hand. Whereas the 3 Greek letters and alternates that reckon the number: 666 are Χ ξ ς (ΣΤ or στ,+, l) and are used in the logo, stamp or mark yet it is not limited to this but speak to those who are in outright rebellion to the Law and Commandments of God who symbolically receive the mark in their foreheads and in their right hand. Many innocent, honest, true and sincere persons are a part of the system and do not know. To them the call comes: come out of her my people!
