Who wrote any of the books is a mystery. But what I’m saying is some copies of Revelation that circulated at the time read 616 rather than 666. This makes sense when you realize numerology is only communicated relative to the language of your audience. If you’re writing to the Greek-speaking East, Nero’s title will equal to 666. If you’re writing to the Latin-speaking West, his title equaled to 616. This is one of the easiest biblical texts to date. Scholars know this, but unfortunately many believers don’t.
