the number 666.The identification of the Lamb Beast.It is the name of a man, or, possibly, a set of men, an institution headed by a man.A name the letters of which,when regarded as numerals,total 666. In Hebrew,the numerical value of the letters of Neron Caesar,when added,make 666 (Nero Casaer,616,marginal reading).Nero was indeed,a beast,but it is a far cry to call him a Lamb-Like beast. In Greek,(the book was written in Greek),the letters of Lateinos total 666:L, 30; A,1; T, 300; E, 5; I, 10; N, 50; O, 70; S, 200.Lateinos means The Latin Kingdom.It was so understood by Irenaeus,who was a pupil of Polycarb,who was a pupil of John,and bishop of Smyrna at the time the book was written. Latin was the language of Rome. Papal Rome made Latin its official language.And it still is.Among all nations of all languages,its prayers,canons,missals,breviaries,decrees,bulls,worships,blessings,and cursings,are in Latin. Some understand the number this way: 6 is mans number, just short of 7,which is Gods number.666 is a triple concentration of 6.The square of 6 is 36: 1,2,3,etc.up to 36, when added together,equal 666.The significance seems to be that,the beast,powerful as he is,and no matter how powerful he may become, he is still not as powerful as God.
