666

666
"Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six" .13:18
31 translations calculate the number and only 15 count it. I calculate it with a calendar converter.
Daniel suggests number is a date with "number of the years". Gibbon has Islam attacking Constantinople 46 years after the Hijra. Put 46 in an Islam calendar converter and you get 666.
The Julian calendar starting in 44 BC puts the Hijra in the year 666.
"And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark" 13:17
If the mark is a date, everything bought and sold today has a date.
"And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God." 15:2
In 666, Constantinople used Greek Fire on the Sea of Marmara to stop Islam.

I hope you don't take the mark if the church departs in your lifetime.

Imagine we don't have numerals (which were an invention of Arabs).

Imagine instead each letter plays two roles, one as a letter, and one as a number.

Imagine your name, Chrysostom where C =1, H =2, R =3, Y =4, S =5, O =6, T =7, M =8

Your name equals 1 +2 +3 +4 +5 +6 +5 +7 +6 +8 =47

Caesar Nero when spelled using Hebrew letters which were also equal to numbers equals 666

Okay, now can you show how Nero fits in with the rest of the Apocalypse?

Under Nero both Peter and Paul were put to death, in Rome.

$$ Re 13:16
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
$$ Re 13:17
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
$$ Re 13:18
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number [is] Six hundred threescore [and] six.

This just means the beast's NIL is going to be on money. You should just do an image search on your search engine for 'nero coin' sometime. We have lots of coins literally from the same time Revelation was written.

idk if this link will work for you but here's my search engine results.


NIL.

Do you agree that 666 is associated with the second beast with ten horns that replaced the one with seven heads?
