The Bible, Magic Squares, and the Number 666

The number, six hundred threescore and six, appears three times in the Bible. Once in Revelation Chapter 13, once in I Kings and again in Chronicles. In the Old Testament, it is used to describe the number of talents of gold that Solomon took in in one year's time.

Magic Squares are square arrays of numbers where the rows, columns and diagonals all add to the same number, which is called the 'constant' of that square. The constant is determined by adding up all the numbers in a square, then dividing by the number of the square.

The square of 6 is 36, so the Magic Square of 6 (also called the Square of the Sun), contains the first 36 numbers. Those 36 numbers total to 666, and dividing by 6 gives us 111, the constant of that square.

Six hundred threescore and six is the total of the first 36 numbers, and is affiliated with the Magic Square of the Sun or 6.

    "tell us more about the square of 2 and the square of 1 please; I found them more interesting than the rest of the squares"

    Did you watch the video? In a magic square the rows, columns and diagonals add to the same number. That makes no sense for 1, as there is just ONE number. There is no square of 1. The square of two is four. You can not arrange them so that rows and columns add to the same number. There is no square of 2.

    How did you find them more interesting?

  • Can you tell us more about the square of 2 and the square of 1 please ? It seems they are not part of the Tree of Life, and because I didn't find much information about these I found them more interesting than the rest of the squares. Thank you.
