The Image and Number of the Beast.

By Uriah Smith

As the beast has a number 666, the query arises in some minds whether the image of the beast, Rev. 13:14, 15, must not have the same number, or at least a number of some kind; and if so, what it is. We do not think the image must have a number any more than a name, to constitute a proper image of the beast. The essential elements of the beast, were, a church clothed with civil power. Another church clothed with similar power, will be a true image of it, without any reference to the accidentals of number and name.
