666 - the scriptural [KJB] Truth.
Ezra 2:13 KJB - The children of Adonikam, six hundred sixty and six.
This text, among others, helps us to identify who receive the number 666 [Revelation 13:18 KJB]. They are the “children of Adonikam”. Once the name “Adonikam” is defined, we have a characteristic of his “children”.
It is made up of two words,
[1] “Adoni” [H113, KJC], which means “Lord” [Nehemiah 3:5, 8:10, 10:29 KJB, etc], and
[2] “qum” [H6965, KJC], which means “arose, rise, risen, get up, etc”, and even in the context of rising up “against”, or “enemy” [as in risen up against], see “... them that rose up against thee ...” [Exodus 15:7 KJB] and “... their enemies.” [Exodus 32:25 KJB]
Therefore, the name can mean, 'the number of those that are arisen up in rebellion against the Lord, are 666'.
For other instances of this 666, may be seen in the great Image of Daniel 3:1 KJB [60x6x6], the image of a fallen (sinful, Babylonian) man, whose heart became as a beasts heart, and the issue of a death decree by a combination of state and religious authority (Daniel 3, is the violation, in type, of the first Amendment, Congress shall make no law establishing religion; whereas Daniel 6, is the violation of the next portion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof), and in the apostasy of Solomon, the height and rule of men, 6 lions on the left, 6 lions on the right, and 6 steps up to the Throne [6 – 6 – 6] in 1 Kings 10:19-20; 2 Chronicles 9:18-19 KJB, and also in the height of men's wealth, in the 666 talents of gold of Solomon in 1 Kings 10:14; 2 Chronicles 9:13 KJB, who apostatized.
One may also begin in Genesis, with the first 6, in which both “beast” [including the serpent, the most subtil beast of the field] and “man” were created in the 6th Day; Genesis 1:24-31, 2:1-25 KJB, in which an “Image” is also mentioned.
Additionally, the very numerals themselves in Revelation 13:18 KJB, the “... Six hundred threescore and six.” have a [koine] Greek meaning for each numeral:
666; chi-xi-stigma χξC and thus means “chi-xi-stigma χξC Root word:
the G22d (agamos ἄγαμος unmarried, unwedded, single),
G14th (agathoergeō ἀγαθοεργέω to work good, to do good, to do well, act rightly)
and an obsolete letter (4742 [stigma, mark, stick, prick] as a cross) of the Greek alphabet (intermediate between the G5th (abba ἀββα Abba = "father") and G6th (Habel Ἅβελ Abel = "vanity (that is: transitory)")), used as numbers” [Strong's].
The meaning of the [koine] Greek numeral 666, is thus, an “unmarried [single] father who is marked by claiming good works, but all that he does is unlasting vanity”. See also Matthew 6:5, 23:5 KJB, etc. The very position of popery.
In the Sanctuary, is God’s truth (Psalms 77:13 KJB), but Satan perverts every single thing in God’s complete system of truth, and therefore, Satan inverts the sanctuary in all aspect, for we are not unwise to his devices ….
Exodus 26:35 KJB - And thou shalt set the table without the vail, and the candlestick over against the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south: and thou shalt put the table on the north side.
Side note, the table of shewbread, is the symbol of the Throne of God in the Holy Place, as it was covered in Gold, had a crown [for Kings] molding, and two places for bread, 6 and 6, a place for the Father and Son on the throne, as the Son lives by the word [bread] of the Father, we are to live by the word [bread] of Jesus [John 6:57; Revelation 3:21 KJB], of which the Tree of Light in the Holy place has 6 branches [Exodus 25:32,33,35,37:18,19,21 KJB] out of the central stock, even as it represents the Holy Spirit [Revelation 1:4, 3:1, 4:5, 5:6, 22:17 KJB], and this light [2 Peter 1:19 KJB] coming from Him, is the Spirit of Prophecy [Revelation 19:10 KJB] working in holy men, as they are moved by the Holy Ghost [2 Peter 1:20-21 KJB], thus the number 6 is the number of man [Genesis 1:26-31 KJB].
Thus Satan perverts the 666 of the Sanctuary, corrupting the Word of God, and puts in its place the word of men, and perverts the Golden branches, and the holy oil therein poured in by the Holy Spirit, for a false and lying spirit to deceive, that we may rely upon him and his ‘ministration of death’, that we may be branches separated from the true tree and vine – Christ Jesus.

The word “anti Christ” is also found in the so-called LXX (work of Origen in his hexapla), in Leviticus 6:22:
Leviticus 6:22 LXX (so-called): ὁ ἱερεὺς ὁ χριστὸς ἀντ᾽ αὐτοῦ ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ ποιήσει αὐτήν νόμος αἰώνιος ἅπαν ἐπιτελεσθήσεται
Leviticus 6:22 KJB - And the priest of his sons that is anointed in his stead shall offer it: it is a statute for ever unto the LORD; it shall be wholly burnt.
The word Anti Christ is defined in Thessalonians in its two definitions, opposing and exalted into the place of:
The next text:
2 Thessalonians 2:4 KJB - Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
The word “opposeth” is translated from [G480], “ἀντίκειμαι”, “antikeimai” and it is used variously as “opposeth” [2 Thessalonians 2:4 KJB], “adversary[ies]” [Luke 13:17, 21:15; 1 Corinthians 16:9; Philippians 1:28; 1 Timothy 5:14 KJB], and “contrary” [Galatians 5:17; 1 Timothy 1:10 KJB], basically meaning to stand up against and so oppose.
The word “exalteth” is translated from [G5229], “ὑπεραίρομαι”, “huperairomai” and is also used in 2 Corinthians 12:7 KJB, and those two words really define “anti-christ”, used similarly here :
2 Corinthians 12:7 KJB - And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
