Greetings to the Community. I come seeking advice from those who currently have much more knowledge about theology than probably I will ever have. Yesterday morning I did this with pencil and paper: C => 100 + 0 => 0 V => 5 I => 1 D => 500 1 => 1 9 => 9 _____ Total: 616 It was a simple sum, came out on the first try. I confess that right after doing it I was a little scared by how easy it was (and of course the meaning it has). I mean, occasionally I've come across articles where complicated mathematical operations are performed to reach certain conclusions. This was not the case. The points that I am handling so far: ### The number the beast is not a number in itself but a product of its name: ### > **Revelation 13:17:** so that no one can buy or sell who does not have the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. > > (Source ) ### The dialectic around the number 616: ### > The new number 616 isn’t new, it’s old, that’s the point. It isn’t one > man’s opinion either, it’s written as such in the two oldest known > versions of the Bible. The Oxyrhynchus papyrus you mention, but > it’s written too in the Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus , both as a > number and text - ‘hexakosiai deka hex’ literally translated as six > hundred and sixteen. This latter book is the last of the four uncial > manuscripts of the Greek Bible named after Ephraem the Syrian. > > (Source ) My questions are: - Could "COVID-19" be the name of the beast? - Assuming for a second that the above is true: would the set of facts related to coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) faithfully correspond to the behavior and actions of the beast, described in detail throughout the book Revelations?
