Revelation identifies 6:66 with the mark of the beast, and Gospel of John 6:66 is a reference to those who reject Christ when He told them to eat His body...

I realize I am coming late to this thread, but I could not let this one go by unmarked. The verse assignments in the New Testament were made in the Sixteenth century by a Protestant scholar named William Whittingham. It follows that they are a modern imposition on the text and can have no doctrinal significance whatsoever.

Of course I know that. But think about it: if anybody can take seriously that John's Revelation is a prophecy about an anti-Christ who would be a future President of the United States and take it with any level of seriousness, then it is not a real big stretch to also presume that John's prophecy includes Divinely inspired prophecy that the Number of the Beast, 666, would correspond to the current Chapter 6, Verse 66, in the Gospel of John. The latter makes more sense than the former. But, as I stated, what I said should be considered as wild speculation.
