Subject: Who is the "Beast" in Revalation? |
Bible Note: Hello Grace: Don't know if this idea or theory is "old news", but I once read that many believe that the "666" beast is meant to be none other than the most feared Roman of all--Nero. Since names in certain languages were also assigned a numerical value, the numerical value of Nero was 666. The number for the Beast in Hebrew was found not to be 666, but 616 (if I recall). 616 was also the numercial value, in Hebrew, for Nero. That's what I recall, anyways. Could be wrong. Not sure too, if this is the Beast you're referring to? Maybe others can add to this. Treadway |
