Taking a close look at Matthew 1:1 – 17, it becomes apparent that 3 names are missing from 1 Chr 3:11, bringing the total generations from David to Babylon to 17 instead of 14, and the name Pedaiah missing from 1 Chr 3:17.  With these adjustments, there are 66 generations from Adam to Yahshua through David’s son Solomah (translated Solomon throughout the Bible), as listed in the chart below.

What is the meaning of 66 generations? 

The Hebrew שש has two different meanings – six (Strong’s H8337 215 occurrences), or sixth (Strong’s H8345 28 occurrences), and fine linen (Strong’s H8336 41 occurrences).

At the beginning of time Adam and his wife were not in fine linen Gen 2:25. The sixth שש creation day prophecies the Messiah through whom we are made in the image of God male and female to rule the earth in Gen 1:26 – 31. This was fulfilled in Rev 13:18 (My retranslation is found in the article Is 666 the Number of the Beast in Rev 13:18?) “In who בזה the wisdom החכמה outpouring מי  leader אשר  to him לו understanding תבונה will impute יחשב  from book מספר the living החיה mark כי from book מספר son בן Adam אדם he himself הוא and from book ומספרו fine linen שש from mark מאות and fine linen of them וששים and fine linen ושש.”  

Knowing the real meaning of the number 6, we can better understand the importance of the 6^th creation day, fulfilled in the 66^th generation from Adam, when the Messiah clothed the righteous in fine linen!

By studying the Hebrew text of the Bible, we can see through all the lies of the English translation, and discover the truth that sets us free as promised in John 8:32.

Scarcely a day goes by that we don’t hear mention of the man whose number is 666 in reference to Revelation 13:18, but the Hebrew text of Revelation 13:18 has a very different meaning than the English translation of the Greek text.

My translation of the Hebrew text of Rev 13:18 is as follows: “In who בזה (1) the wisdom החכמה outpouring מי (2) leader אשר (3) to him לו understanding תבונה will impute יחשב (4) from book מספר (5) the living החיה (6) mark כי (7) from book מספר (5) son בן (8) Adam אדם (8) he himself הוא (9) and from book ומספרו (5) fine linen שש (10) from mark מאות (11) and fine linen of them וששים (10) and fine linen ושש (10).”

1. The Hebrew זה (Strong’s H2088) means ‘this’ or ‘who, that, which’.  Found with the beth ב prefix that means ‘in, with’.
2. The Hebrew מי (Strong’s H4325) means ‘flowing, pouring, running’, hence ‘water’ as a material element, fig. ‘seed’ in Isa 48:1.
3. The Hebrew חשב (Strong’s H833) means ‘walk, to be led, guided’, also ‘to be straight’ in a moral sense ‘to be right, honest, upright’.  Often classified as Strong’s H834 that means ‘who, which, that’, perhaps to lead us astray from the real meaning.
4. The Hebrew ספר (Strong’s H 5612) means ‘document, writing, book’.  In a broader sense it also means ‘to make incisions, marks’ hence ‘to number, to count’ (Strong’s H5608).
5. The Hebrew החיה (Strong’s H2416) means ‘alive, living’. This word requires a thorough analysis because it is translated ‘living’ or ‘beast’, especially in Genesis 1 – 3 and Revelation to lead us astray.
6. The Hebrew כי (Strong’s H3588) means ‘that, for, when’, but in Isa 3:24 (Strong’s H3587) it means ‘a prick, a mark, a brand’, and that appears to be the underlying meaning of the word.
7. The Hebrew בן that means ‘son’ is not translated, and the Hebrew אדם that means ‘Adam’ is translated ‘man’, disguising the fact that this verse is about Yahshua, whose title is ‘son Adam’.
8. The Hebrew חשב translated ‘let him count’ means ‘impute’ in Lev 7:18, 17:4, & Num 18:27.
9. The Hebrew הוא (Strong’s H 1931) means ‘he, she, it’, sometimes equivalent to ‘himself, herself, itself’, emphasizing the subject.
10. The Hebrew word שש (Strong’s H8336) means ‘fine white linen, the clothes of the priest and persons of distinction’, or ‘white marble, for pillars’ in Esther 1:5. Interestingly, the Greek transliteration of ‘six’ is ‘hex’! We might wonder if the Greek text puts a spell on us?
11. The Hebrew אות (Strong’s H226) means ‘a mark, sign, pledge, token’.  The Hebrew word that means ‘hundreds’ is מאה (Strong’s H3967) found in Rev 7:4.

Looking at each and every word mistranslated in this one verse, it becomes apparent how vulnerable we are having to rely on the English translation found in all Bibles. This verse is clearly about Yahshua, the ‘son Adam’ and those who are made clean through his sacrifice, but they have turned the meaning up-side down to be about Satan and his mark.

I recommend you test my translation to ensure it is accurate.  Every minute we spend in the Hebrew text adds to our ability to rightly divide the Word of Yahweh.  It is the Word of Yahweh that refines us, so that we can stand before Yahweh and not be destroyed by his fire.
