Sister, some years ago I read an article that said that
the number 666 may have been an error, and that it should have been 616.
Quote:
The new fragment from the Book of Revelation, written in ancient Greek and dating from the late third century, is part of a hoard of previously unintelligible manuscripts discovered in historic dumps outside Oxyrhynchus in Egypt. Now a team of expert classicists, using new photographic techniques, are finally deciphering the original writing.
Professor David Parker, Professor of New Testament Textual Criticism and Paleography at the University of Birmingham, thinks that 616, although less memorable than 666, is the original.

Now I'm no admirer of so-called experts, except in the case of Brother Professor Dr. White and, of course, our beloved pastors. And it's
deeply suspicious that Professor Parker dares to criticize the text of the New Testament. But it is interesting, if only mildly so, that if you turn the -19 of Covid-19 upside down, you get 61-, which could be an abbreviation of 616.
