Iron Maiden's - 666 The Number of the Beast! A Biblical Perspective

The Ignorant Fishermen Blog ^ | 10/3/26

[The Ignorant Fisherman]

As a young, unsaved man, I was very much into the heavy metal scene, not just participating in the lifestyle and culture, but also in the playing this music. A song that we used to play and listen to continually was a song by Iron Maiden called “The Number of the Beast”. The intro of this song begins with a man with a very eerie voice quoting Revelation 12:12, 13:18.

"Woe to you, O Earth and Sea for the Devil sends the beast with wrath because he knows the time is short Let him who has understanding reckon the number of the beast for it is a human number its number is six hundred and sixty-six"

Today millions of heavy metal fans across the world KNOW the intro of this song as they know their very own names. They can quote this passage verbatim as unsaved religious folks can quote the Lord’s Prayer. I truly wonder how many - lost and saved today - fully comprehend the full magnitude, weight, and depth of this EXPONENTIAL superabounding time called the Great Tribulation; in which there will be the exponential demonic oppression and tyranny of the "Devil" and his anti-Christ (i.e., the Beast) (Rev. 9, 12:7-17). The very ones who can quote these same Scriptures fused into this Iron Maiden song (Rev.12:12, 13:18) will most likely be alive when this very Satanic institution goes into full affect (Matt. 24:15). What this song has done is to take the sting out of Almighty God's horrific warning and has neutered these Bible verses by twisted them to subtly promote the acceptance of the demonic agenda of 666, which will reign over the world very shortly until the Lord returns (Rev. 12:12; 13:18).

The very ones who can quote these same Scriptures fused in this Iron Maiden song will most likely be alive when this very Satanic intuition goes into effect.

The words despotic, authoritarian, tyrannical, autocratic, etc., with all of their deepest and fullest descriptions, fall so exceedingly short when seeking to describe the Satanic tyranny and oppression during these last 3 ½ years called “The Great Tribulation” (Matt. 24:21-22). So horrific a time this will be that the Lord Jesus stated that, “if the days were not cut short, NO ONE (flesh) WOULD EVER SURVIVE” (Matt. 24:22)! This "time period" is far more horrific than all the world wars and global pestilence ever put together. To add to man’s global woes during this time, the inhabitants of the world will have a supernatural oppressor and tyrant whose power, strength, and genius EXPONENTIALLY surpass the limited confines of mankind.

So horrific a time this will be that the Lord Jesus stated that, “if the days were not cut short, NO ONE (flesh) WOULD EVER SURVIVE” (Matt. 24:22)!

This fallen evil genus (Lucifer - aka. Satan) and his rebellious host of untold millions of fallen angels will be - because of their expulsion from any access to the third heaven - confined and concentrated to this little o’l planet called earth (Rev.12:7-17). Planet earth will become their new temporal prison cell (Rev. 18:2) till Christ’s glorious return to earth, in which these demonic hordes will be placed back in the abyss until they are assigned into the Lake of Fire FOREVER(Matt. 25:41, Rev. 19:11-21). It has been this very time and hour that has been the most haunting and dreadful thought in the minds of the fallen angelic hosts, for they now know indeed that their time is very short (Matt. 8:29, 25: 41, Mark 1:24, 5:7, Luke 4:34, James 2:19).

No other medium has been a more powerful tool to Satan (i.e., Lucifer) than the the godless music industry.

In this last century - with all of the new mediums available to mankind - no other medium has been a more powerful tool in the hand of Satan (i.e., Lucifer) than the godless music industry. By it, he has single-handedly changed the course of history and the landscape of the world's global social order (Luke 4:5-6, 2 Cor. 4:3-4, Eph. 2:1-2, 6:12). The youth of today are totally hardwired to their SMART PHONES, receiving the demonic indoctrination of the "Do as thou wilt" from the god of this world 24/7 (2 Cor. 4:3-4, Eph. 2:1-3, 1 Peter 5:8, 1 John 5:19)!

The youth of today are totally hardwired to their SMART PHONES, receiving the demonic indoctrination of the "Do as thou wilt" from the god of this world 24/7!

My friend, put away all such forms of evil and indoctrination and, by faith, place your trust in Almighty God's Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, and receive Him into your heart as your personal Savior (John 1:12, 3:16-17, Acts 4:12, Rom. 6:23, 10:4, Gal 1:4). That, my friend, is what this whole little life is about! Satan's godless system is but for a moment when compared to the vast expanse of ETERNITY (Matt. 25:41, Rev. 20:11-15).

My friend, I beg you to place your trust in the Jesus today, and instead of drinking and singing from Satan's musical Kool-Aid selections and flavors, may you drink from the LIVING WATERS of Almighty God found in Jesus, the ETERNAL King of Life (Jer. 2:13; John 4:13-14; 7:37-39; Rev. 21:6). You will truly know what true happiness is and what comes from a heart that has been forgiven. You will be singing "Amazing Grace" all day long. May it be so for you, too!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand! Maranatha!

Now the giants, who have been born of spirit and of flesh, shall be called upon earth evil spirits, and on earth shall be their habitation. Evil spirits shall proceed from their flesh, because they were created from above; from the holy Watchers was their beginning and primary foundation. Evil spirits shall they be upon earth, and the spirits of the wicked shall they be called. The habitation of the spirits of heaven shall be in heaven; but upon earth shall be the habitation of terrestrial spirits, who are born on earth.
The Book of Enoch, Chapter XV, 8.

As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark. And they were oblivious until the flood came and swept them all away. So will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.
Matt. 24:37-39

The Great Tribulation WILL be the most horrific
period of time that the Earth 🌍🌏🌎 has EVER seen

The Whole World is heading towards
Satan’s Antichrist and False Prophet

People will find out that they CANNOT
BUY or SELL without the Mark of the Beast

Their Family and Friends WILL betray them
to Death over the Mark of the Beast

Here's the goofy video:

"Number of the Beast" - Iron Maiden

I laughed at it in 1982 and think it's even funnier now, but there were and are easily-led and weak minded people who'd take Iron Maiden's marketing angle seriously. Same goes for Black Sabbath, KISS and a hundred others, and it's unfortunate that these bands and their salesmen led souls astray purposely or not.

Ultimately they all have to answer to The Boss, and I don't mean Bruce Springsteen. We ALL do.

But these things must happen and happen They Will. The Kidron Valley will fill with Blood to a Horses bridel from the Lords Enemy s’ Destruction ! The Mount of Olives will Split in Two at The Touch of Our Victorious Lord Jesus ! His Kingdom Shall Endure For Ever and Ever!
Those Redeemed By the Blood of the Lamb Shall roll their Crowns to the Throne of The Most Holy GOD and Creator of The Universe!
Thank You Lord Jesus
All Glory to GOD The Father

but there were and are easily-led and weak minded people who'd take Iron Maiden's marketing angle seriously.

What’s really funny, is that Maiden’s only real angle was essentially telling stories through music.

The weak-minded are those thinking that everything is evil unless it conforms with their belief system.
