Rev 13:18
(ASV) Here is wisdom. He that hath understanding, let him count the number of the beast; for it is the number of a man: and his number is Six hundred and sixty and six.
(Geneva) Here is wisdome. Let him that hath wit, count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man, and his number is sixe hundreth threescore and sixe.
(KJV+) HereG5602 isG2076 wisdom.G4678 Let him that hathG2192 understandingG3563 countG5585 theG3588 numberG706 of theG3588 beast:G2342 forG1063 it isG2076 the numberG706 of a man;G444 andG2532 hisG848 numberG706 is Six hundred threescore and six.G5516
(KJVR) 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.
(MKJV) Here is the wisdom. Let him having reason count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. And its number is six hundred and sixty-six.
I have often wondered how this number could be connected to a man. Birth date? Number of letters in the name? mixed into the Social Security number? Phone number?? There are many possibilities.
But what if the number is not 666? What if the number is 600, 60, 6 or 600,606 or some variation? If we could somehow count the letters of an alphabet (cycled) and find corresponding letters, this will come out to something, like an anagram?
What if this is a play on the Unholy trinity when seen as 3 separate numbers?
Or 3 x 6 is 18
Or 6 x 6 = 36 times 6 = 216.
Or 6+6 = 12 x 6 = 72.
Or 600 x 60 = 36000 x 6 = 216000
Maybe its latitudes and longitudes?
This can go in lots of different directions. Scripture says "Let him having reason count the number" so there is some puzzle to this. Care to discuss??
