<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 2812343, member: 78244&quot;]This is the theory I read:</p><p><br /></p><p>Revelations was written by the apostle John in Greek. However, &quot;666&quot; was written with the Hebrew numerical system. So why the discrepancy? Some believe that John was referring to Nero Caesar, whose name, when spelled out in Hebrew, summed up to 666 in the Hebrew numerical system. It may be far-fetched, but here is a clincher: the Hebrew way of spelling Nero was the equivalent of Nron, pronounced &quot;Neron&quot; (If I remember correctly). Some felt it should be spelled Nro, pronounced &quot;Nero.&quot; When this change is made, the sum is now 616, which is what some scholars claim is the symbol of the antichrist. Does this mean Nero was the antichrist described by John? If so, then the book of Revelation was inspired by man, not God. However it could also symbolize that an oppressing tyrant like Nero will be the antichrist. Coincidence? Maybe. But still interesting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
