Dan McClellan is a Bible scholar with impressive credentials, Trinity, Western, Oxford,

and these days he calls himself a public scholar. That is, he makes his living on social media,

like TikTok and YouTube. He uses these platforms to debunk myths and clarify misunderstandings about the Bible.

And much of it comes from believers

themselves. McClellan has a new book where he explains what the Bible really says about the

hot button issues like abortion and slavery and homosexuality. And of course, there's also a chapter

on the Mark of the Beast, you know, 666, that wild ride of a vision in the book of Revelation.

McClellan says there's no end to what some people will claim is a sign of the number of the beast.

In a while back, he was tagged in a video of a woman who saw a clue in a can of Monster Energy.

The famous logo of the Monster Energy drink is the three kind of tears that are supposed to represent

like claws, but it makes what looks like an M. Look at your M closely. There's a gap right here in the letter M.

It's never connected.

And she argues that they also look like three Hebrew letter Vobs.

So you go into Hebrew.

Hebrew has an alphanumeric system where each letter of the alphabet has a numerical value, and the Vov has a value of six.

Short top, long tail.

And so three Vovs in a row.

You could have here in Hebrew 666 on the can.

Uh-oh.

Is this the number of the beast?
