Tut tut... no sense of humor?
***Note, of [A] man can only mean an individual as opposed to "number of man"**
You do realize that Revelation was not originally written in English - ? The Greek is without the article, anthropou 'of man'; the article need not necessarily be there, but still... either translation is possible.

Curious... Authority? Your dismissal of my interpretation of Biblical numbers is also without authority, except your opinion of course.

I have a great sense of humor. I find humor in things most don't! I think its where my knack for pissing people off comes from. LOL
As a patent holder and someone who has actually went to war over copyright issues, I tend to be somewhat sensitive to accusations over such matters. I assume by your statement above, you were j/k, and I see a black square were perhaps some "emojicon" should have been, backing up you statement?
Anyway, I rest my case, since you and I are obviously at odds as to the meaning of the number "9", therefore our discoveries are entirely different. Btw, I respect the study of numerology, but I'm not really into it. I feel the same about astrology. You have to be very care of the source - its too easy for charlatans to corrupt things.
Numbers, codes, crypto, and etc. is an area I do like to spend time with.
I'm sorry you find my disagreeing with your findings so stressful, otherwise we might have worked together on a thing or two, perhaps. After all, aren't we in agreement on how to derive the number 9 from 666?
As for what authority, I'm but a humble reader of the Word. Any/all understanding is only due to grace from the Almighty.
