With that said, St. John in the Book of Revelations identifies the number of the beast as "666."

How incredibly ignorant of the Holy Word of G-d !

NAsbU Revelation 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him
to show to His bond-servants, the things which must soon take place;
and He sent and communicated it by His angel to His bond-servant John,

You apparently have never read nor
understood verse one of the Book of Revelation.

May you seek YHvH and his salvation,
who has revealed Himself in His Word
and not in the traditions of man.

NAsbU Revelation 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show to His bond-servants, the things which must soon take place; and He sent and communicated it by His angel to His bond-servant John,

If you are confident in your knowledge of the scripture, present the facts, and you have then no need to boast about who is "ignorant" of the scriptures. The facts will speak for themselves.

That which was "soon" to take place was the destruction of the Temple in 70 A.D.-- a decisive event in the First Jewish-Roman war.

when Jerusalem was destroyed in A.D. 70, it was an act of God's judgment and fulfilled the prophecies that Christ spoke of in His Olivet Discourse recorded in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21. This event signaled the Second Coming of the Messiah as well, spiritually.

The Book of Revelation does not have predictive value in the way premillenialists claim it does. Its predictions have already come to pass, when God judged Israel for their rejection of the Messiah, so that He was made to completely and finally break from them and their rebellious ways. Consequently, it is the Church which has come to replace Israel as the chosen people.
