We already see an economic and political system like that described in Rev 13, in China, and the leader there is Xi, his name can be calculated to 666 as follows:
letter code X = 24, I = 9
XI = x * i = 216
216 = 6 x 6 x 6
Is it a solution or just a “type?” Not a decision you or I can make. But it does “validate” the present time as the stage for the activities described.
