Doesn’t mean it’s any less reliable either. Further, the term anti-Christ never appears in the book of revelation. 1 John tells us there are many anti-Christs and that anyone who denies Jesus is Christ is an anti-Christ. I’ve never heard a good biblical argument for why we should equate the beast of revelation with the term anti-Christ as used in 1st and 2nd John. Finally, when a beast is identified in apocalyptic prophecy (Daniel, Revelation) it represents an ungodly civilization or society.

Yet, the oldest manuscript of Revelation 13 we have (P115) says the number is 616.

666/616 is the number of NERO using gematria, the process of taking the number value of letters and then adding up the numbers to arrive at a total. NERO in Greek gets you 666. NERO in Hebrew gets you 616.

Maybe it survived because it was so bad that nobody read it.

Never got wore out.
