Is the number of the BEAST 666 or 616? | Sam Shamoun

Is the number of the Beast 666—or 616? In this powerful teaching, Sam Shamoun confronts modern scholars—specifically Daniel Wallace—who claim that the original text of Revelation 13:18 read “616” instead of “666.” Drawing from early church testimony, Sam exposes how this claim is not new and was already addressed by the second-century church father Irenaeus, who declared that 616 was a corrupt, erroneous reading. Sam shows that Irenaeus, living within a generation of the Apostle John, personally knew Christians who had seen John face-to-face and confirmed that the correct number was 666—found in the most accurate and ancient copies of Revelation. Irenaeus even warned believers not to speculate about the identity of the Antichrist and explained why God gave the number symbolically: to caution us, not fuel wild end-times guessing. The teaching reveals how textual corruption, careless scholarship, and arrogance in altering Scripture can spiritually endanger believers—possibly leading them to misidentify the Antichrist when he appears. With historical evidence and strong biblical warnings, Sam makes it clear: tampering with God’s Word is no small matter. ⏱️ Timestamps 0:00 The controversy over the number of the Beast & Daniel Wallace’s claim 1:09 Irenaeus knew of the 616 variant—and rejected it 2:38 Why God gave the number symbolically & warning against speculation 4:48 How scribal errors may have created 616 7:05 Calling 616 “erroneous and spurious” & God’s mercy for ignorance 10:07 Judgment for altering Scripture & danger of misidentifying the Antichrist 💬 Did this teaching clear up confusion about 666 and 616?
