From Max-greece's link:
So, clearly *this* numerology proves Nero was the "Beast". Either 666 or 616 fit the bill! But Nero died! Awwwww, no Anti-Christ naughtiness. (I'll bet he did have a thing for the ladies though...me too, but I digress)
See how this works?
And when Princely Charles of Whales dies at some point in the future, without ever doing any anti-Christ naughtiness, will you admit you were wrong, wrong, and wrong? Or, like so many before you, will you "find" the error, correct it and now the anti-Christ turns out to be Justin Bieber, Lord of Crappy Haircuts and Devil Music Divine?
Quote:The mark of the Beast symbolized an allegiance to Nero in the first century. "Neron Cesar" was spelled like this:
N = 50
R = 200
W = 6
N = 50
Q = 100
S = 60
R = 200
That equals 666. It makes sense too because their alphabet had numeric value. See link for more info.
Edit: I just read this about the 616 on the link I gave:
Of some related interest is the fact that if Nero’s name is written without the final "n" (i.e., the way it would occur to a Gentile to spell it in Hebrew), it yields the number 616 — which is exactly the variant reading in a few New Testament manuscripts. The most reasonable explanation for this variant is that it arose from the confusion over the final "n".
