Verse 18 is found in chapter 13 of Revelation. The second beast promotes an image of the first and pressures the inhabitants of the earth to worship it. Those who refuse are excluded from the economic system represented by buying and selling. The number of the beast, six hundred sixty-six, is presented as the number of a man and requires wisdom to calculate. The text does not explicitly provide a unique identification in modern terms; its literary function is connected with the identity, authority, and human pretensions represented by the beast.
