	616 (number) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		616 is a member of the Padovan sequence, coming after 265, 351, 465 (it is the sum of the first two of these).
		616 is a polygonal number in four different ways: it is a heptagonal number, as well as 13-, 31- and 104-gonal.

	Number of the Beast - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Number of the Beast is mentioned in the Book of Revelation of the Christian New Testament and has long been accepted to be 666 (or, in some cases, 616).
		Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred three score and six.
		The number 666 retains a peculiar significance in the culture and psychology of Western societies.

	Number of the Beast 666
		The Book of the Apocalypse correlates the Mystick Number 616 with the identity of the Antichrist, supplying fundamentalist hordes of apocalyptic zeal with an all-obsessive clue to the identity of the awaited "Beast." Secular debates rage at present to the identity of the scribe of the Apocalypse.
		The Exalted Number of the Sun, also is the arcane number of the occult Hexagram, the hieroglyph of the Sun, as a single line of a Hexagram essentially constitutes three interdependent parts, each of which may be symbolized by the numeral 1, thus every line in the Hexagram signifies characteristically the occult number 111.
		The obsessive identifying of the Mystick Number 616 with insidious images of Lucifer as ultimate evil incarnate in Man, a malicious devil adoring a false countenance of Baphomet consecrated unto vile and profane forces of ruin and desolation, has, in short, been the rallying cry for Christian crusades of hatred.

	Laputan Logic - Antichrist 616 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		This alternative formulation for the Number of the Beast as 616 is very ancient and is attested to by St Irenaeus of Lyon who, writing (in Greek) in the middle of the second century AD, attributed it to scribal error:
		The purpose of this number was to enable the faithful to recognise the Antichrist when he finally emerged and it was given in a numeric rather than literal form because even the very name of the Antichrist was an abomination and as such not worthy of mention in the holy book.
		Irenaeus explains that the number is derived from a common Greek practice of calculating numbers from names known as Isopsephy (or Gematria in Hebrew*).

	CAI - Who is 666... ~ Robert Sungenis
		Apparently ignorant of the history of the number 616, World Net Daily seems to be touting the new number as the correct version of the biblical text in Apocalypse 13:18, which has traditionally been rendered as 666.
		For example, if we write 616 in English longhand, it is: “six hundred and sixteen.” If 616 is written out in Greek (as Codex C does) there is no need for gematria in order to know that the number is 616.
		Lastly, Parker’s attempt at making Caligula a candidate for the number 616 is also not as precise as he assumes it to be.

		The number 666 is commonly referred to as symbolic of an apocalypse.

		While many Bible have footnotes saying the number translated from the original Greek could be 616, experts say new photographic evidence of an ancient fragment of papyrus from Revelation indeed indicates the number is indeed 616, instead of 666.
		The main researcher promoting the 616 claim is David Parker, professor of New Testament Textual Criticism and Paleography at the University of Birmingham in England.
		Parker points out the possibility of 616 was considered by the second century church father Irenaeus, who rejected it.

		While it dates back the furthest, other ancient manuscripts of the Book of Revelation have the number as 616 instead of 666, provoking some debate in the past as to which were the original digits.

		Satanists, apocalypse watchers and heavy metal guitarists may have to adjust their demonic numerology after a recently deciphered ancient biblical text revealed that 666 is not the fabled Number of the Beast after all.
		Where more conventional versions of the Bible give 666 as the "number of the beast," or the sign of the anti-Christ whose coming is predicted in the book's apocalyptic verses, the older version uses the Greek letters signifying 616.
		Revelation was actually a thinly disguised political tract, with the names of those being criticized changed to numbers to protect the authors and early Christians from reprisals.

		Another strange thing about papyrus manuscript P115 at Rev 13:18 (other than 616 for the number of the beast) is that it appears to have an eta (Η η) before the number.
		The last report in the Hedrick article is that Kallistos was to go to the Patriarchal library in Sept. 2000, yet Hedrick's 2003 JECS article did not say whether this had actually happened or what was the result.
		And a significant number of others, I will argue, function to establish the orthodox character of the text, either by promoting more fully an orthodox understanding of Christ or by circumventing the heretical use of a text in support of an aberrant teaching.

		[I am inclined to think that this occurred through the fault of the copyists, as is wont to happen, since numbers also are expressed by letters; so that the Greek letter which expresses the number sixty was easily expanded into the letter Iota of the Greeks.]
