Note the lettering at the bottom of the pyramid. It is a man-contrived system of numbering, characteristic of a Roman society. And that numbering system uses the letters D, C, L, X, V, and I. That denominated in Arabic decimal numerals is therefore:
DCLXVI = 666
All of them are found in the Roman numeral MDCCLXXVI, which in Arabic (Muslim) decimal system numerals is 1776. For your information, it is on every U. S. dollar bill, or implied by anything denominated in dollars. The bill is a document printed by the U. S. Treaury and is legal tender by which one may legally discharge any debt in terms of United States currency.
Are y'all getting this?
Rev 13:16-18 AV:
"And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond,
to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast,
or the number of his name.
Here is wisdom. 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 threescore and six."
(1) In the above, the translation is not quite right, and the typical interpretation that it refers to a human's name is a misguided concept. "Number" refers to the system of numerals by which a quantity is defined in that language.
(2) "His" is the wrong pronoun grammatically. In the Greek it is neuter, meaning "its," not "his" in this passage.
(3) And "name" means "authority" or "authorization," not a human's given name.
(4)And here is the mark, authorized by the "beast," the symbol of the currency system:
It is denominated by the designation "USD" which is U. S. dollars.
(5) At this point, it is the global system by which wealth or debt is expressed.
