Sorry wrong number there is no 666 !!
Sorry Wrong Number not 666 but 616
This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666. (Revelations 13:18)
----------------
Christians for centuries have been quoting the number 666 referring to the beast (antichrist) missionaries have gone as far as attributing it to Islam... But little were they aware that the earliest fragment from the book of revelation P115 Manuscripts reads the number 616 and not 666!!!
The number 666 for the Beast has led to many speculations about who this could character be. Scholars now believe that it is related to ancient Greek ideas about numerology. The letters of a name were ascribed numerical value and added up to give a number; in the case of 666, it is the name of Emperor Nero that adds up to that number. Historians believe that Nero's persecution of Christians in Rome made him a bête noire among the early Christians.
But what about the number 616 for the Beast? Working on the principles of numerology, scholars work out 616 indicates the Emperor Caligula, Nero's predecessor. Caligula had had a statue of himself erected in the Temple, the Holiest of the Holies, in Jerusalem which had greatly offended Jews. If the alleged author of Revelation was indeed "John" and a Jew from Palestine, he would have known this.
It should be added that even the number 665 had been ascribed to the Beast in the Book of Revelation. Also, the significance of the number 616 was known to Irenaeus in the second century.
WHAT A SHAME THEY FOLLOW NOTHING BUT CONJECTURE!! ANOTHER LIE EXPOSED FROM THE EARLIEST MANUSCRIPT!
