Number of the beast

Post by Alpha~Omega »

Helloo.

I have recently came across an individual who claims that the translation of Revelation 13:18 is incorrect in terms of what the number of the beast really is. Revelation 13:18 states that 666 is the number of the beast, however this guy says in "older" versions of the bible, the number is actually 616. I think he is referring to some Greek manuscripts. I couldn't find what the Hebrew text had to say about it though.

Yea, I've heard this to, IMO It probably is 616.

Personally, I really do not care about the number of the beast. It’ll make sense when he comes, but until then just dummies manipulate to fit anything they want to. I could come up with some wack-job formula and make myself the anti-Christ
