THE STORY OF THE SEER OF PATMOS

Stephen N. Haskell

“Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at
hand” Revelation 22:10.

thirteenth chapter of Revelation, the very

number, six hundred and sixty-six, which is

worn on the insignia of the head of the papal

hierarchy, is given, that men may be left

without excuse. He who is acknowledged as

the vicegerent of the Son of God (Vicarius Filii

Dei), in his name carries the number six

hundred and sixty-six, for the sum of the

numerical value of the Roman letters in his

title, equals that number. That power which

again exalts man above the God of heaven,

forms the image to the beast, and bears the

number of his name.

The time of trouble, spoken of by Daniel, is

right upon the world. “The devil is come down

unto you, having great wrath, because he

knoweth that he hath but a short time.”
