A study of the number six hundred three score and six in hebrew letters may bring a rather alarming revelation with regards to ash Wednesday or anything to do with marks or signs on heads or with hands and by extension, christendom.

And some have seen where 616 is used in a version..

Revelation 13:18
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding, count the
number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
Ashes placed on the forehead on Ash Wednesday are the mark of the beast?
source please. This is nonsense.
The problem with that approach is that Revelation was written in Greek not Hebrew. Reverting to Hebrew is only speculation and not based on scripture.
