gematria

A Kabbalistic system of interpretation of the scriptures by substituting for a particular word another one whose letters give the same numerical sum. Each Hebrew and Greek letter has a numerical value which enables this to be done. Gematria may be the key to confirm who the antichrist is. Revelation 13:18 says, “This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666.”
