“www” is the acronym for the world wide web and is normally used as the prefix, or first node of the internet domain names.
The ancient Hebrew and Greek alphabets do not use separate characters or alphabets to represent numbers and letters. Letters are also used to represent numbers, so each letter is also a numerical value. The Hebrew equivalent of our “w” is the letter “vav” or “waw.” The numerical value of vav is 6. So the English “www” transliterated into Hebrew is “vav vav vav,” which is the numerical equivalent of 666. This means “www” relates to the number of the beast identified by the Apostle John, I am not saying this is the number but it is interesting how these numbers and letters work out.
Furthermore, the term “vav” literally means “hook, peg, or nail,” and the shape of the number 6 actually does resemble a hook. This insight reveals that the Internet is literally “hooking” everyone in the world into accepting the future system of the beast.
The Internet has already created the new “plain of Dura” that the Antichrist will use to set up his image for worship, just as Nebuchadnezzar did before. But that’s not all, because many of the screens in our lives are not just watched passively. We have already been hooked into using them interactively. We use converging communications technologies for all sorts of services at work and play (word processing, engineering design, production control, entertainment, online shopping, banking and financial services, travel arrangements, etc.) or for different forms of security and protection from terrorism and anarchy (cameras, embedded sensors, video alarms, etc.)
Today, all types of situations and events – public, private, intimate, secret – can now be viewed by everybody on the planet, from everywhere on the planet, all at the same time. All of the people, the nations, and the languages can link together to watch events on the global stage, with an unlimited variety of choices. In the Age of Screens, people have become more dependent on communications technology than ever before for their entire livelihood.
But behind the screens – behind the scenes – a technological paradox is evolving: the expanding integration of communications tools that serve people today will control them tomorrow.
After the collapse of the global economy, the Antichrist will begin his reconstruction initiatives. One of those initiatives will be to seize absolute control of all communications and media broadcasting under the mandate of security from terrorism and anarchy in a world of chaos. Overnight, the same World Wide Web that was once use to provide services will be used to control services provided. At that moment, the Internet will be use to “peg” and scrutinize everyone in the world through the system of the Beast.
