"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."

How interesting. Much of the numerology of the bible has been reinterpreted to mean something other than literal. I have heard this 616 number before. There are modern day interpretations of revelation that I don't agree with. The important thing is to just do as the Lord commands, but we humans want to delve deeper and do guesswork.

I have suspected for some time that they got it it close but not quite right,
but my main contender for the number of the beast was www, as in http://www... ;-)

"The important thing is to just do as the Lord commands"

And the Lord commanded to "study to show thy self approved," thus we must 'delve deeper'although guess work is not effective. Study prayerfully.
