I love this because I take the preterist view apparently:
wikipedia 11/12/18 "Preterist theologians typically support the numerical interpretation that 666 is the equivalent of the name and title Nero Caesar (Roman Emperor 54–68 AD).[19][20][21][22][23][24] Written in Aramaic, this can be valued at 666 using the Hebrew numerology of gematria, and was used to secretly speak against the emperor. Also "Nero Caesar" in the Hebrew alphabet is נרון קסר NRON QSR, which when used as numbers represent 50 200 6 50 100 60 200, which add to 666. etc.. etc..
nero=616 / neron(as he was known)=666; strong evidence imho that this passage refers to emperor Nero and not to the devil. The devil does appear in the bible in the book of Job and also when Jesus is tested by the devil in the gospels. Can anyone tell me where else? He will always take credit for things that are not his though. It's part of his trickery. That is how the number 666 became ascribed to him. Revelation is rather imaginative.
Thanks for your explanation. I learnt something today.
w.w.w. as a sign of evil power, either Nero or the devil himself. But honestly, I still like to use it as my grand library and handy communication tool.
