Sethur, the son of Michael - It would have been strange had the numerous searches after the explanation of the mystical number 666, Revelation 13:18; Revelation 17:5, met with nothing to their purpose in the name of this son of Michael. Sethur , from sathar , to hide or conceal, signifies hidden or mysterious, and includes in it the numerical letters of the No. 666: 60, + 400, + 6, + 200, = 666. But of what utility can such expositions be to any subject of history or theology?
