Welcome to Men Who Understood the Times. We're excited to have you here today to talk about what 666 means. And to do that, we're gonna start with a fun little video. Michael says he's seen it before, but it was, who knows, maybe 50 years ago. And, uh, Andy mentioned he maybe hasn't seen it before. So let's, uh, get into that video here.

Look at your M closely. There's a gap right here in the letter M. It's never connected. So you go into Hebrew, the letter vav is also the number six. Short top, long tail. Short top, long tail. You could have here in Hebrew 666 on the can. But my interest is the word Monster. What do you see in the O? There's a cross. Okay. What has Christ got to do with an energy drink, let alone the name Monster? So I thought, "Well, maybe this is a Christian company then." BFC at the bottom of the can. Do you know what that stands for? That's the F-word. Big can. In fact, they write it on the side of the can, so I know that's the F-word. Okay. Now, do you know what a MILF is? Yes. That's on the box. "MILFs dig it, and you will too." This is not a Christian company at all, so why would they have the cross on the can? Here is the message: Antichrist. 666 in Hebrew, and then the Bible talks about the beast in Revelation. And look at Monster's ad. This is their statement. You see these M's everywhere. Hats, T-shirts, bumper stickers. Is there another agenda here? If God can use people and product, so can Satan. And look at it this way. Even if the M was not the issue, you cannot deny that that is a cross. And what is witchcraft? When the cross goes upside down. Mm-hmm. Bottoms up, and the devil laughs. Hmm. Something to think about. Wow. This is how clever Satan is, and how he gets into the Christian home and a Christian's life, and it breaks God's heart. Jesus said, "My people perish for lack of knowledge." Wow.
